Pokémon Go was one of the most eagerly awaited titles of 2016, inspired by the work "Pokémon", created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1995 and owned by The Pokémon Company, with its games produced by Nitendo and Game Freak.
Pokémon is a popular series around the world, being disseminated through anime, manga and its origin, the Games.
The story revolves around a Pokémon master, who aims to hunt Pokémon and become a great Pokémon Master by conquering the gyms available within the game. The anime and manga follow the same theme, but with greater dramatic loads.
It's not worth commenting on everything about Pokémon Go again, since we already have an article on it, read by clicking here.
First of all, it's worth mentioning that many players only played Pokémon Go because it's a popular game, so don't be offended by anything that may have been said in this article.

Players' lack of interest
The Game has become popular on a number of levels since its release on July 6, 2016.
The game is a great innovator in the industry, using an augmented reality system, all using the GPS feature of your own cell phone! The game has been in development since 2013, made by Niantic in partnership with Nitendo.
Basically, it is necessary to take your cell phone, and with the help of the GPS within the game, you go looking for the Pokémon that appear on the game map, after finding a pokémon, you must use your Poké Ball and capture the Pokémon.
The game's proposal is also to encourage more sedentary young people to get out of their homes and exercise while doing something fun. Another proposal presented is to explore the pokémon world and the game also takes you to many different places, if you are going to play looking for these pokémons.
It's a great game, but unfortunately there are flaws and circumstances to the great disinterest of players, even some of the most knowledgeable fans of the series. But as always, any problem is small if you are a fan or a player who likes new challenges!
Late updates:
The game is constantly updated, but only for bug fixes, feature implementation, and player events. But what everyone really wants is new 'Pokémon Generations'! Each Pokemon generation features new Pokemon, evolutions, and even Mega Evolutions.
And several players managed to gather all the first generation pokémons, for these, waiting for new pokémons is something difficult. And currently with 7 generations being released one by one, Pokémon Go will have a long way to go. And that wait is something that not everyone likes.
Robberies:
This is not just in Brazil, but in several countries players were frantically robbed. This insecurity prevents many players from leaving the comfort of their homes to look for Pokémon. And that, while not Nintendo and Niantic's problem, is harmful to gamers, which also affects corporate profits.
No new generation will take away this discomfort of being robbed, and even killed!
Pokestops:
Pokestops are like Pokemon centers for players. There you can pick up Pokeballs, eggs and many other items, as well as points to level up. It is also possible for players to become owners of Pokestops through disputes with opposing teams.
A big problem for us Brazilians is the lack of Pokéstops! Neighborhoods outside the outskirts of large cities or centers are hampered by this lack. Countries like Japan and USA feature thousands of Pokéstops in a single neighborhood or city. And that's something developers aren't interested in changing in Pokémon Go.
Big profits only in 2016:
Pokémon Go generated almost US$1 billion just between the 6 months of its launch and the end of 2017. Specifically, around US$950 million. The research was carried out by App Annie, a company specializing in the mobile market.
In the research, App Annie also explains that Pokémon GO surpassed the mark of US$ 800 million faster than any other mobile game, which is available for iOS and Android. It reached this number in 110 days, which was 2.3x faster than Candy Crush Saga, 3.5x faster than Puzzles & Dragons, and 4.5x faster than Clash of Clans.
With that, we came to the conclusion that it was both a success and a failure, which can be changed with the effort of the producers. But what about you, what do you think of Pokémon Go?
