Pokemon Go has created a history since the time of its launch in the United States. The game is even more popular than Twitter and porn and has already doubled the market value of its owner, Nintendo. However, there are reasons that explain why millions of people may quit Pokemon Go soon.
It may be possible that the game has not yet reached at the pinnacle of its hype cycle. It is yet to be launched in Japan, which will eventually bring more success to it. Even Pokemon Go India is much awaited. Over a period of a few months, the game makers will unveil new features such as in-game events, trading and battling. However, according to Buzzfeed, there are some problems with the game that will eventually make it lose the top place.
First of all, Pokemon Go is broken and glitchy. The game crashed and the screen freezes as people try to catch the Pokemon. This not only requires the gamer to restart the app, but also demands a large amount of patience from them to not to lose their temper. Hardcore fans of the game may decide to stick to it for a long time, but is it nearly impossible to imagine people lingering to the hype of the game that does not work properly.
According to The Verge, Pokemon Go is bland and repetitive. It may start to drift gamers away once they reach two- and three-week marks of playing time. It is exciting indeed to run, spot a Pokemon and then run again to catch it. However, after hours of play, the game starts to feel rote.
Typically, the rage for a certain game does not last forever. This is what has happened with popular games such as Angry Birds and Farmville in the past. Even though Pokemon Go has a huge cultural legacy, chances are that fans will eventually get fatigued and move on to their next option.
One of the biggest disadvantages associated with Pokemon Go is that you cannot really play it to kill time - while sitting in a waiting room at an airport or while sipping a cup of coffee. It requires you to move around, walk, run and even jump to catch the Pokemon character.
Moreover, Pokemon Go's release took place at a great time when the children are free and enjoying their vacations. However, its popularity may fizzle out once the schools are open and even during the first frost. In the changed weather, gamers would find it difficult to move around freely in the freezing cold conditions.
