'Pokemon Go' Update: The Game Will Experience a Major Drop This Year, Says Analyst
Cores Grace Malaay"Pokemon Go" has been a phenomenal mobile game since its release in 2016 and Niantic has been offering tons of updates on the game even until now. Albeit, despite its commercial success, one analyst believes that the game will have a major drop this year.
Express reports that analyst Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities thinks that "Pokemon Go" with its latest peak in 2016 will experience deterioration within the next 12 months. He explained that while the game is fun and cool, there's only so many Pokemon to catch anyhow, which could mean that the user activity will have a major drop as it keeps earning big for its stakeholder Nintendo.
In the last quarter, Nintendo was said to have earned around $115 million in full profit with the game, which stays one of the most money-spinning games on The App Store and Android Play Store as of Jan. 2 in the United States as per AppAnnie. As mentioned earlier, an obvious concern that will keep users play "Pokemon Go" as the number of Pokemon that you can catch would be limited.
"Pokemon Go drops out of the top 10 in every country with a population greater than 20 million, Pachter said in an interview with GamesIndustry.Biz. A new feature of the game is the player-to-player battles and trading where fans are waiting how Niantic would release the update.
Moreover, the game's New Year event has started last week filled with new batch of bonuses alongside the first partner Pokemon in the Kanto region that will be discovered between Dec. 30, 2016 and Jan. 8. It includes Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Squirtle, Blastoise and Wartortle.
Additionally, the players' Lure Modules will double the amount of time that it runs from 30 minutes to 60 minutes to make those first partner Pokemon easier to find. What do you think of analyst Michael Pachter's prediction on the game? Let us know in the comments below!
