Niantic continues to roll out updates in an effort to retain the appeal of “Pokemon Go”. Much of these patches are meant to stabilize the game and do away with cheaters. Updates will never cease but should not veer the game away from Pokemon fans of all ages.
As Tech Crunch points out, “Pokemon Go” is something that has managed to capture the attention of gamers from all ages. It is marketed as an augmented reality game but the fact is that players are not limited to the young ones. In fact, it has also gained the attention of the folks who grew up knowing Pokemon.
Don’t forget the nostalgia behind Pokemon
Depending on how one looks at it, “Pokemon Go” has served more than just capturing creatures. It has rekindled the boastful nature of Pokemon fans, particularly the critters they have caught and stored on their PokeDex.
Niantic managed to add a twist of augmented reality to the mix, a masterful brainchild that has become a worldwide phenomenon. Despite dishes that the active players are declining, the reality of it all is that “Pokemon Go” cannot satisfy the fantasies and rants of gamers.
Some have considered gameplay as recurring but fail to consider that “Pokemon Go” is a far-from-perfect mobile app. It is something that many have checked out pretty often, meaning not all players spend most of their time hooked on to the game.
Niantic has managed to bind nostalgia with advanced mobile gaming, two key elements attributed to the success of “Pokemon Go”. Moving forward, more improvements are on the mend for the benefit of the augmented reality game.
While most are aware of the flaws and areas for improvement, the worst thing that they can do is leave out the most important intangible of “Pokemon Go” – that is the nostalgia behind it which has even the old folks hunting down the elusive critters, Forbes reported.
