It is hard to believe the massive success that Pokémon Go has had since it was released, and the big wonder is how much time can it last until it is a memory of the past.
The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
Pokémon GO fans are waking up on Wednesday morning a little more nervous. Niantic, the developers of the augmented reality game, has decided to sell the game
You can't play Pokemon Go in China, but I needed a digital souvenir.
Considering how the mobile market is, the craze should be gone in a few months, but there's no doubt there's plenty of room for expansion and if handled correctly it could remain app gold for a while longer.
It will end up like Miitomo...ghost town.
Yes.
Now lets move on...
Everything is a fad. Pokemon go has done amazingly well and I've enjoyed a bit of time with it (mainly just like coming across the pokemon from my childhood). It's brought a lot of people together to have fun (which a lot of the haters seem to ignore) but at the end of the day it's is just a fad like anything else but that doesn't take away from all the fun people have had.
