At least 4 Pokémon Go maps are offered: the first, at Pokémon GO Locations in Blackburn North Victoria 3130, zeroes in on your area and starts showing exactly what Pokémon may be close by. Pokémon GO Locations in Whitehorse also offers an around the world appearance at Pokémon places, but without the elegance of other sites. We all knew sponsored areas were coming to Pokémon GO?
For me, the game is the only facet of the Pokemon phenomena that excites me. I think they have a half-baked story full of interesting but extremely limited Pokemon that does not make much sense or goes anywhere.
Pokemon is a phenomenon and kids are going crazy over it. What's it about a computer game that has taken off this big? It even has celestial epochs: we're now in the Age of the Pokemon Black and White. But most of the children buying these goods are not even actually playing the video game itself! That seems to be another phenomenon completely (for Nintendo, number two behind Super Mario).
Now, my son also is not a huge fan of the story; I am unsure what it's about Pokemon that fascinates him so much (I can not help but think that children are infusing their imagination into the narrative and are possibly secret 'trainers,' a modern equivalent to the dragon slayer). Regardless, he loves the Pokemon plush toys (plushies or Pokemon stuffed toys) though I'm not sure why. Maybe to get a Pokemon stuffed toy will be to kind of capture one with a Pokeball. In any case, I am neither a stingy or indulgent parent, which generally means that though he may need a plushie, he won't get one and ends up settling for cards.
Furthermore, the traffic to APKMirror has come from all around the globe, with the US only accounting for 10.8% of the website's background traffic over the last 28 days.
He loves the card game however and will get me to buy him the Pokemon Black and White cards whenever he can. He and his friends can spend an intense hour or two on card gaming, though they don't seem so interested in the console game (that's more up my alley).
Luckily, they were letting customers play the latest game incarnation, Pokemon Black and White, that day and I waited in line for 10 minutes to play it myself, which I did for a quarter hour before the man in charge made breaths that I should probably let people smaller than myself have a chance.
Regardless, Pokemon is cool and times and preferences have changed. It seems we live in an age in which morals, good, evil, and heroism are considerably more blurred than we 'simpler' kids were. Maybe kids are more complex nowadays. I do know that as a science fiction fan I do think Pokemon has potential, though by capitalizing on that they'd likely alienate their audience.
When I was the child, Japan was obviously not selling video games, but they were writing and creating animation as well as drama. And what little of it got to America I as a little girl even loved. First, there was Ultraman. The monsters were grotesque, Ultraman himself was a hero but ugly too, and it was pure good vs. evil. Monsters came from outer space and Ultraman protected mankind from them. I recall one cute creature that was the size of the small person and was covered with long strands of weird hair (hard to describe). But even that creature, though likable, was pretty nasty. My generation is pretty much figured that monsters should be horrible. Pokemon appears like they lack monster hormones or something. Just to mention it, there was additionally Speed Racer (excellent story- who can forget Spridal and Chim Chim- and who was Racer X really?). The Mach 5 was way cool. What little girl wouldn't like that? Ashes can't hold a candlewick to Speed!
My son is ten now, and we live in Japan. As a Mom, I am not overly worried about leaving him alone at the Pokemon Center to window shop for himself. This being Japan. Yet, I 'm worried about him becoming lost in the tremendous crowds. I do admit that after 20 minutes I was pretty much going out of my mind, and said to him point blank, "OK, Jojo, time for us to get a move on," but his appearance of distress made it clear that physical prodding and subsequent brooding would be what I would have needed to survive to get him out of there.
It really is believed that women love to shop, and guys do not but that equation doesn't include kids and hobbyists. Getting my son out of the Pokemon Center, and expecting that he will forget that there's a Pokemon Center, are hopeless prospects. Pokemon is sure a success.
Outside of the US, users all over the world have been attempting to download Pokemon GO using an app, bypassing the official app store. Since the app's release, traffic to apkmirror.com exploded, increasing from just over 600,000 visits on July 5th to over 4 million visits on July 6th.
This traffic to APKMirror came largely via Organic Search Traffic and over the 28 day period from June 10th to July 7th, 19.6% of desktop search traffic came from the search term "Pokemon go inquire".
For my middle-aged generation, the attractiveness of Pokemon is a bit challenging for me to get a grab on. If Pikachu is cute, then why is he capable of such destructive force? And if he is so lethal, then why is he so cute? But I must retract all that truly, for I can't find Pokemon in their animated avatar to be either cute or trendy. Maybe for my generation, Pokemon just do not have an appeal to us. We can not figure out what they stand for.
