The spin offs are just that. Spin offs. They don't have the main formula the main games do. shyt like Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon pinball and shyt lol.
This is a watered down version of the main concept of the series that expands on the social atmosphere. AND IT'S FREE.
It's a genius idea.

The charm of the series was always the "Catch em all" Slogan. However every handheld was eventually hacked and "collections" didn't mean a damn thing.
In this game a actual collection means something now. Once they add pvp trading and the other gens it's gonna even skyrocket even more. It's basically a gigantic "brag a thon" which is amazing when u think about it.

Especially with moon and sun coming out in a few months
so a game with an EXCLUSIVE TITLE FOR DECADES ONLY BEING RELEASED ON NINTENDO HAND HELDS is finally on another platform and you think that has nothing to do with the success?
Overwatch is a meh shooter and it is dominating because "Blizzard" and absolutely nothing else.
Nintendo owns a portion of the company that made it. Along with google

Saying it's just the Pokemon name that made it as big as it is downplays what the designers did right.
Most people never played ingress so the whole idea of augmented reality is completely new the public consciousness. For most people it has flipped games on their heads. It is actually social, encourages going outside, and doesn't just involve controls and a screen.
For all its flaws it's also designed in such way to be satisfying to little kids, casual players and obsessive game grinders.
The Pokemon name brand obviously made it reach critical mass, but the new concepts, decent game design PLUS Pokemon is what made it as big as it is.

Just cause you think it's meh doesn't mean others do. People realy like overwatch. Blizzard is a reason to try it. Nobody's going to keep playing it if they don't like it just because blizzard
It seems more like a fad rooted in both nostalgia and social media. I'm not talking about Pokemon itself but Pokemon Go.Pokemon go goes back to the roots of gaming to a certain extent, its charming seemingly straight forward and easy to get into, you can boot it up gothrow a couple pokeball's miss and after the 1st battle your
There's a brief explanation on not even a quarter of what you need to know and then your thrust into the game. At its core there's not much to do, there's not epic plot nor graphic's, the game crashes and bugs out....So why then is Pokemon go such a hit?
Simple because 1) Its free, lets not deny how huge of a deal that is, even if it was 99 cent I probably wouldn't have took the time to buy it.
2) It encourages exploration and communication online and off. This is huge, sitting behind your computer talking to a stranger is way to common place now. Hell I'm doing it nowPokemon go forces you to get up, travel and probably bump into other people doing the same thing. I've run into so many people that are clearly sitting at pokestop's and gym's playing Go... All they can do is look
and go
Black, white, old, young.... Knowing that what your doing is literally being done by or to others in real life is and experience that most of the younger generation missed. For us that are 29 and up we remember the arcade and when gaming was just as much of a social event as a going to the movies or bowling and skating.
Pokemon go is an example of how much humans actually enjoy socializing even if its buried subconsciously and how much humans love collecting.
It once again shows that a game doesn't need to be perfect for it to be great.
nintendo and Sega genesis showed us that are older that ages ago.
People at my job are playing it. I don't do free to play games. If you can't convince me to spend my money upfront and give me value for that then no thanks.
If in 5 months all these people are still playing this and still just as engaged then yeah it succeeded in what many games fail at. From all I've heard about it it isn't a very good game and it's pretty barebones. My question is how much can really be added to it before people go "why bother with the actual Pokemon games?"
it goes beyond that it's Pokemon.
They dropped Pokemon Shuffle earlier in the year and no one gave two shyts about that.
