Pokemon GO Tops Charts, Causes Surge In Nintendo’s Stock Price

4.4
The long awaited AR Pokemon MMO for smartphones, Pokemon GO is now finally out- and it has done just about as well as anyone might have expected. In fact, judging by the server strain the game seems to be experiencing, it seems to have surpassed even the most optimistic of predictions.

Shortly after launch, Pokemon GO is now topping charts on both, iOS and Android. On iOS, Pokemon GO is now the most downloaded free app on the platform- it is also the highest grossing app on the platform at the moment, well over even mobile game heavyweights such as Clash of Clans, Game of War, and Candy Crush.

Social media is ablaze with Pokemon, as, for the first time in 20 years, Pokemania appears to be back in full flow as a result of the mobile game. The end result of all of this momentum around Pokemon GO appears to be that Nintendo’s stock price is now at the highest it has been in months, jumping up by more than 10%, and leaving Nintendo with a high market valuation of $23 billion.

Went on a walk around town, there seems to be a lot near me due to the fact that the Civil War played a big part in my area.

My stepbrother and I walked almost 12 miles yesterday.

I am loving this game. Went on a 10 mile walk today. Haven't done that in years.

Going to get my bike fixed so i'll be doing that more often.

BBC More reason to work with steam, Microsoft, or Playstation for a pokemon game especially a real MMO styled one.


You must be joking. This isn't a console game, where you 'play' It's Augmented Reality. Meaning you have to get up and walk around. You know, OUTSIDE. Lol. It's not MMO. It just happens to be > If you cross another player, you can battle Pokemon. But I think that feature is disabled right now? I tried fighting a friend. Couldn't figure it out.
