The game is unquestionably YUGE but the big jump is Nintendo stock price is unsupported by the game's adoption... not to mention how fast popular games become faded memories in the mass consciousness. Because SCIENCE.

They are going to need a string of content updates to keep people interested for use.

Much of the game depends on gimmick right now (AR mode) that fades after a short time.

Mr. Analog

At this point I don't think retention matters:

I have never been able to get ALL the kids out on a walk so often or for so long without complaining... It has been good for that, for sure.

38 billion? That is insane :o

...as a follow-up to my statement about Nintendo share price boost being over valued. The correction already is happening -- after peak it dropped more than 20% over 2 days.

Started playing again after the new movie came out and the kids got interested again.

New mission system requires me to add 3 new friends to compete a mission if anyone is still playing and wants to trade friend codes

- gyms now have random raids
- there are monthly events
- player to player trading
- player vs player battles
- weather bonuses
- way more Pokemon

Still the same basic game however, the weather is good so it has me walking extra km in the day which is good.
