Decline In Pokemon Go Popularity

If you want to see how pokemon's level of popularity is declining, here's one. It's on a downward spiral, and that's why I am assuming that this may be the last time that bot makers will try to RE this game. The level of effort may not be worth it anymore. And the promise of Niantic to release the "full" version may not be worth the wait. Bot makers might wait until Pogo picks up again before they try to RE again.

Interesting. I see a high correlation with the downward spiral started and the dates when Niantic implemented their banwaves.
 
Jep, i think botters will be the best base for niantic.
The whole system is optimised for botters...

I just hope the Devs dont give up.
Actually its still fun Playing... but leveling is just boring
 
Niantic's cause of downfall is its greed and arrogance. Instead of keeping the interest of their customers, they focused more on combatting third party apps and protecting their own interest and neglected their customers. All their updates are geared towards blocking third party apps, instead of improving the game and keeping customer's interest. They tried to bully their customers with bans and sofbans. A "take it or leave it" policy. Unfortunately, most customers walked the walk, and most customers who got banned did not come back. With them, they took their friends.

The latest captcha and softban using 0.35 API trap are designed to completely weed out the botters. Now they are positively sure who is cheating and who is not. Unfortunaltely,they probably realized that more than half of the remaining customers are using third party apps, and permanently banning them now will decimate their customer base, or what is left of it.

I say it will go down the same road as Riftbuddy did...they will try to keep the bot up...Niantic releases more and more updates, API won't be *****ed anymore cause hatching alone can't do it and the product is abandoned.

If the bot comes up again, bot the shit out of the game with as many accounts as possible.

While I can appreciate trying to get the message across.... That's for google searches concerning the topic. Not people playing. Its only natural google searches drop off because no new information has come out for it.

Yeah thats right, but really. Pokemon Go is kinda dead.
 
Unbelievable!!! Are you saying that the statement is wrong? Pokémon Go is not on a decline?

There are many ways to gauge a product's popularity: volume of sales, number of downloads, number of searches on the net, revenue, physical sales, endorsement, advertisement, survey, interviews, volume of traffic on the server, number of hits on the websites, etc..., etc...

I did not say It is "THE" only method to use or it is the golden standard for measuring success and popularity, I said it is "ONE" that you could use simply because I don't have access to any of the other data. I was hoping that one of you could also do your own research to either validate or contradict this hypothesis, instead of focusing on the flaw of the statement.

"By mid-September, daily revenues had fallen from $US16 million per day to $US2 million (excluding the 30 per cent app store fee) and daily downloads had declined from a peak of 27 million to 700,000" - Views and Subscriptions for the 'Pokemon GO' Subreddit Have Greatly Declined Over the Past Month | TouchArcade Again I don't know their exact business source.


I know that contradicting someone's opinion has been a norm in this forum, because it's attention grabber. And you grabbed my attention. But let's change that norm. How about saying "In addition to the graph that you presented, here are the other sources that everyone could use to gauge the popularity". And if you disagree, you could say "I don't think your statement is correct because this source says the volume of sales and download is going up astronomically as of today". Prove the statement right or wrong. But I can guarantee you, my hypothesis is correct, the game is on the decline. And the statement is absolutely correct, "If you want to see how pokemon's level of popularity is declining, here's one" And I presented you with a refutable and credible source. The only course of action is to find another source that either support, or contradict this data.

The use of pokemon is in a deep decline. I don't need to present research data, because I can see it myself. I think the application is stabilizing trying to find a baseline and peak in summer was a sensation that we will never see that again. But I can see it in the streets and the places I go to collect pokestops. Even myself I have declined using it because I don't find time to do it. Blindly walking hoping to catch a pokemon in my sightings is kind of frustrating and having the application open hoping to find a pokemon while walking to my car or in a park, or waiting for a pokemon to spawn while I'm at home it just consumes my battery tremendously. Ever since FPM went down, I lost interest in trying to find pokemons. I really like the process where I could see where a pokemon was located and how long it would be available. This would help in my decision whether I should pursee the dratinit that was 100 m away from me and would despawn in a minute or catch the Seel 50 m away in the opposite direction that would despawn in 5 minutes.

So in the end you either wanted someone else to prove you wrong or confirm your theory? Thats all? You simply have to go outside to verify that.

I merely mentioned that the specific "evidence" you provided would have dropped off regardless even if it was still going strong. The reaction I got was priceless though. I let out a hearty laugh. Thanks for that.
