Making The Most of Pokemon Go
Being innovative is the key to getting the world to turn to you, and that’s what Satoru Iwata from Nintendo and Tsunekazu Ishihara from The Pokemon Company did in 2014.
Together, they conceived the concept of one of the most downloaded games in the world, Pokemon Go.
Niantic, the developer of the game, released Pokemon Go in July 2016, achieving instant recognition from the public.
Over half a million downloads for Pokemon Go in 2016, and the number increased to a legit amount of 1.1 billion downloads in 2019.
As one of the all-time most popular smartphone games, Pokemon Go offers beyond a fun gaming experience. Check out what players can experience from playing the game.
Training the Trainer
Pokemon Go requires players to walk a certain distance to hunt for eggs or hatch them.
That regulation has a positive impact on the players since they can play the game and exercise at the same time.
Approximately, Pokemon Go players spend 43 minutes hunting and hatching eggs, which can burn thousands of calories if they do that seven days in a row.
Walking 43 minutes in seven days results in burning 1795 calories on average for males and 1503 calories for females.
In a tastier measure, that could be seven tiny chocolate donuts for a man and six for a woman.
The T2T (Trainer-to-Trainer) Experience
Pokemon Go doesn’t only encourage players to exercise but also supports them in going social.
Players can go to the nearest PokeStop and create a lure module to attract Pokemon.
Not only attract pokemon, but players can also gather and socialize to discuss the game or other topics.
The popularity of Pokemon Go has inspired many social events, from hobby clubs pub crawls, and dating sites.
Pokeball-sized Ice Breaker
Asking about the weather to start a conversation sounds cliche in today’s society. You may change the topic to Pokemon Go to start a dialog.
No one ever knows a simple “Are you looking for Pikachu or Magmar?” can lead to a more extended conversation.
Closing
There is a solid reason why Pokemon Go has become one of the most downloaded games of all time. The fact that it offers an innovative gameplay experience makes players go crazy over it.
It doesn’t only encourage players to have fun but also requires them to exercise and socialize more interestingly.
However, players need to be careful while hunting for Pokemon. Several incidents have been reported because players were too focused on their phones while walking.
