Pokémon GO Celebrating Fifth Anniversary of Launch With Special In-App Events

Do people still play this?

Over 150 million users and $1 billion in revenue last year - take a guess.

Do people still play this?

Yes, I do. Nearing Level 42 and don't make in app purchases. Gets me out walking.

Registered users are not active users and the billion comes from the same 10 people still playing this game.

A billion is coming from 10 people? I guess Gates, Cook, Zuck and Bezos are among them?

A billion dollars is still a billion dollars, no?

:p

i am in multiple chats for Pokémon Go players, locally. Tons of players have been there since day 1, including me. My primary group is about 700 active players.

Changing jobs (before the pandemic) reduced my time greatly because my new job was not anywhere near anything useful in PoGo. Remote raids helped me a lot when they were introduced.

I play a little each day to complete tasks and get my daily sticker. I don’t spend a lot of money, but I will spend $10 here or there. Mostly to get incubators.

I’ve missed out on more recent legendary and unique Pokémon and I’ve never done Go Fest. I enjoy the game. Lots of people were playing went I went downtown on Saturday with my kids. We were doing other stuff, but I still got my shiny tepig and evolved it before community day was over.

They aren’t charging for the 5-year event. It’s just a flying pikachu, a Darumaka, and some other stuff that everybody can get.

People have always been haters towards this game. I don’t care. I enjoy it and so do many people in my community.

I live in NYC and there are huge discord community where people can connect with other pogo players. If you ever head to Byrant park/central park you'd be lying if you couldn't spot a pogo player.
