Is The Pokemon Go Fever Fading?

When Pokemon Go first launched, it became a phenomenon almost overnight, breaking records left right and center and even crossing behemoths like Facebook and Twitter in terms of active users. 

Losing its charm 

However, in the wake of a number of poorly received actions of the part of its developer Niantic, daily/weekly users are in decline. 

In fact, according to a new report from app tracking firm Slice, Pokemon Go has lost a whopping 80% of its paying players since its highest point in mid-July. 


Suffering from fatigue? 

Pokemon Go seems to be suffering from the same fatigue experienced by various fads such as Angry Birds or Flappy Bird: people going crazy over the game and then slowly losing interest. 

Niantic hasn't helped its cause by removing features like the nearby system which caused a lot of fan backlash, and the general buginess of the game hasn't found any favors with players. 


Still bringing in the money 

The irony here is the fact that despite the drop in interest and decline in paying players, Niantic is still rolling in the moolah and the game continues to be incredibly profitable. Pokemon Go generates more than six times the revenue of the second most profitable game - Candy Crush Saga! 

What does Niantic need to do to revive interest? 

The big question here is how will Pokemon Go fare in the coming months. Niantic is at a crucial juncture in the game's lifecycle, where the initial hoopla is dying down and people are starting to lose interest. 

Niantic needs to keep users engaged with frequent updates and new features and make sure they reinvent themselves as time goes by. The plethora of bugs and issues in Pokemon Go need to be ironed out and the game needs to start feeling like a finished product. 

Niantic also needs to accelerate the game's official launch in countries where it still does not exist. Niantic doesn't want a situation where the game arrives in countries like India after people have lost interest.

Yes,its a usual thing.Every game captures eyeballs in its initial days and then its interest dies down. There are very few games like Temple Run which continues to be everyone''s favourite, months after its release. And its a good thing that people are losing interest in Pokemon Go because it is a very dangerous game.

Sarath Kumar RM Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

Pokemon Go attracted many people. But now it has started losing it''s worth. People had started losing interest in playing this game often.

Harini MS NAGARJUNA VIDYANIKETAN

It is undeniably true that Pokemon Go is fading out of people''s minds. Earlier, all posts I used to view on Facebook used to have atleast one mention of Pokemon Go. All my talks with my friends were about the game. But just within a span of about a month, most posts and all talks started forgetting about Pokemon Go. It is slowly becoming a thing of the past.

Rajathariga S P AECS MAGNOLIA MARUTHI PUB SCH

The excitement for anything new and refreshing lasts only for a certain period of time. Then people just start to grow out of it and start waiting for the next new thing.

Dhruva Khunekari VIDYA VALLEY

Yes, the craze with which pokemon go started in july is no longer strong enough. One of the reasons is the safety concern and in India due to its late release players downloaded the game by changing their app store country[]for an IOS user]or downloading it by sites like www.apkmirror.com etc

NAVYA MALHOTRA SWARAJ INDIA PUBLIC SCHOOL

it was ever useless... i feel that games do no good

Khushi Sharma BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (SWASTHYA VHR)

It''s a natural thing, no game can capture the minds and hearts of the people in this competitive world for long.

Ritvik Baweja Bal Bharati Public School

Pokemon Go once a showstopper, has now lost its position in the popularity charts, and a major reason being lack of improving and new innovative ideas in the game. The gamers were bored playing with the name features as nothing new was introduced.

Amish Agarwal Goldcrest High Vashi

Pokemon go is a futile and useless game. It is highly addictive and is no where benevolent for mind. It has lately created many accidents and problems. It is great if gamers are losing interest in Pokemon Go.

Dhinesh Kumar.S Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School

It''s actually a good thing because many people lost their lives so that they could earn points. So it would even avoid many casualties and so its a good.
