The release of Pokemon GO in Australia, New Zealand and the United States has seen Nintendo shares soar. Shares in the Kyoto based company jumped 10 percent to their highest level in more than two months. Nintendo stock is currently the most heavily traded by value on Tokyo’s main board. Nintendo currently has a market value of about $23 billion.
Nintendo Shares Soar Due To Pokemon GO
God, only Nintendo can make shit and sell it as gold. Someday their invincibility star will run out.
Is it bad? I thought the commercial looked interesting and more than I expected for a mobile game by incorporating the need to move around to different places in “real time” or real “something”… I don’t Pokemon though so I won’t try it likely
To clarify, the game itself may not be horrible. I am referencing the inability to log in with a Trainer ID (so it will link with our global trainer link) all the while, new and casual trainers are lunging ahead in skills and levels. It’s a horrible experience so far. Glitchy if you are lucky.
Honestly, I wish I knew enough about the game to even comment on the game play itself. But alas, I can’t fucking log in. :( this issue is worldwide and primarily hits pokemon fans and dedicated trainers who have their accounts stored and linked to their trainer ID. So as usual, long-time and loyal fans are the ones punished, typical, modern Nintendo.
To be fair, it sounds like they want this experience to be accessible at a base level, not to just have people come in with greater skill/exp levels (not sure how the system in pokemon works) that would negate the ability of news users having an equal playing field.
The game was designed to allow us to sign in with our trainer ID. It’s not broke because they are trying to be fair, it’s broke because… Shit servers? Inadequately prepared? Some combination? So you really can’t defend this behavior. It’s not my opinion vs yours, it’s a feature that has been glitch and broken since launch. That’s all there is to it.
do you have any idea what happens to a server when thousands of people try to access the same it all at once? theres gonna be some connection issues. just give it a second.
***”…try to access the same one all at once…”****
Well, OK. Starting the app myself I see there is that option… My guess is, it is just a glitch that will be fixed. Doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. Annoying, but with a free app that got downloaded by quite a few people at launch is probably going to have a few issues.
You should take that up with game freaks. They developed it.
Nintendo owns the majority share of Game freaks. Nintendo was there during development. If you think it’s responsible for a parent company to allow a subsidiary to continue to fuck things up when they launch new product, I would strongly disagree with you.
I want Nintendo to take some fucking responsibility, which is difficult to push when it’s fan base continues to give it free passes. Whose stock jumped up because of Pokémon Go? Yep. Nintendo’s. Why? They ultimately own the fucking thing. Everyone needs to put the pieces together and stop keeping Nintendo on a pedisule.
I don’t know man, I just can’t bring myself to get that mad over a free phone app game. Just have some patience and you can play the free app game a little later with an update. Again, it’s a FREE app game lol.
Yeah, if someone got really made over one single free app, that’s pretty silly. Lol.
People like me are more frustrated by a company streaming poor choices and repeating mistakes time and time again, and each time makes you less proud to have at one time been a fan. So yeah. People raging over one silly game is rather entertaining.
Surely you didn’t think I gave two shots about one free game did you? Because that in itself is also funny. XD
||This is exactly my point, you probably ignore me these days because you think I have no free will just because Nintendo created me…||
||You condemn them for their ignorance and repetition of failures and you too repeat yours along with them…||
||I thought you would have learned by now, clearly you haven’t and this goes to several others in here and abroad the gaming world…||
||In the end, none of you will ever be free from Nintendo, it is unavoidable…||
well this one free game did seem to reignite your rage ^^
… Game Freak isn’t owned by Nintendo. It doesn’t even have a single share of the company.
They’re closely affiliated with them (like HAL or Next Level Games; they’re basically really close friends). Most of the producers and developers of Pokémon are from Game Freak, not Nintendo.
Ultimately, Nintendo owns the following (in relation to Pokémon):
– A third of The Pokémon Company (Game Freak and Creatures also own the thing because it’s a joint venture)
– An unknown amount of shares of Creatures Inc.
– The trademark of the word “Pokémon”.
– Every single Pokémon name that they’ve come up with.
– The rights to own any additional legal attributes of Pokémon (this means if someone in the US wants to because of something related to Pokémon, Nintendo is the only one that’s legally obligated to get involved).
As for who to blame, you actually cant blame Nintendo, and the reason why is because this game wasn’t even made by either Game Freak or Nintendo: it was made by Niantic (the former Google subsidiary that made that Ingress game). All Nintendo has done are any of the legal areas (as well as showing it on E3); The Pokémon Company advertised it (because, well, that’s the sole purpose of the actual company); Game Freak didn’t really do anything outside of acknowledging that the game exists.
Finally, Nintendo’s stock raises simply because they own the franchise and the game has so far been a success. That’s it. You might not think it’s fair, but that’s business.
Nintendo owns the trademarks and rights to the pokemon IP. If game freak pulls out, they have to create a whole new IP, because Nintendo do owns the rights and names and everything that identifies Pokémon as Pokémon.
It’s their IP. No Nintendo = No Pokémon.
As the “Adult” in the three way partnership, and as OWNER of the Pokémon IP itself, they would be irresponsible to let that IP get drug through the mud.
You guys are trying to win an argument on semantics. Good luck, I wasn’t born yesterday. Nintendo is not solely to blame, no, but I’m tired of their apparent recklessness with their IPs. And the only reason I still give a shit, is because those IPs were part of my childhood and I hold them with fond memories.
Nintendo has the money, the influence, and the Trademarks. They should do more to keep this shit from happening. And I am dying to know whose servers are running pokemon go…
… if you actually read my comment, you would have saw that I already mentioned it (with bullet points). It doesn’t disprove my points, so I don’t know where you were trying to go with that.
The fact that they have the money and influence and whatnot is irrelevant to the conversation. News flash: I wasn’t born yesterday, either. Nintendo isn’t perfect and yes, they can always improve, but the fact of the matter is that no matter how much they try (or anyone for that matter), no matter how much money will be thrown, no matter how much they threaten, something is going to go wrong. Besides, both Sony and Microsoft have their fair share of issues (such as Sony’s security breach, Microsoft’s questionable policies with Xbox Live, and the DDOSing of both services). I guess that Microsoft is Big Brother and Sony’s security with respect to their online infrastructure is crap, right? Because I can make the same argument: since you have to pay for their online services, it would be irresponsible for Microsoft and Sony to let a couple of teenagers pull down their servers by any means possible.
But that’s life. Crap happens. You have a problem with it? Then that’s your issue and not their problem; Pokémon Go is doing well for them financially and their stock is soaring at the moment. And even if there’s issues that need to be ironed out, note that their branding is bigger than this game and they can be fixed. If it really was going to damage their brand, then Splatoon wouldn’t have been as big as it is now because it too had (and probably still have, but I don’t know, because I haven’t seen them personally) server issues. You might be ROTFLing on the floor at their “failure”, but Nintendo is ROTFing all the way to the bank with the success that their having right now.
As for servers, it’s mostly likely operated by Niantic and not Nintendo, since a similar thing happened to Ingress before. And that was when they were owned by Google, so I guess that we can blame Google too, right?
Lastly, with respect to Game Freak pulling out of Pokémon, Game Freak has the capability of making their own IPs; they’ve made a total of two in the past couple of years. Again, with that explanation, as well as the fact that what I said in the beginning of my last comment was basically implying that, I’m not too sure why your statements were needed.
The funniest thing about it is also:
1) This isn’t even Nintendo’s idea in the first place. Niantic came to Nintendo after Google did their annual April Fools video and Nintendo surprisingly agreed and let the do their own thing. If Niantic didn’t ask, this game would be here in the first place.
2) It’s not like Nintendo never protected their IPs. They’ve done that for decades (especially after the Mario Bros. movie and the CD-i Zelda games). I’m pretty sure the only reasons why Nintendo is being a bit more hands-free with their IPs is because of a) Nintendo’s new president, and b) pressure from the Nintendo community and shareholders to do so (and to turn a blind eye from the past attempts at doing so). One thing I hate about the Nintendo community (and the whole gaming community in general) is their damn double standards. I have and always have been against them letting others use their IPs (BECAUSE stuff like this happens more often). The only reason why I’m not complaining is because it’s not my IP, so I (nor you) have any right to say anything expect give feedback. If that means they permanently lost you as a customer (and I better damn well hope so, because if it doesn’t, then it’s certainly hypocritical), then so be it, and it’s probably for the better.
This is a Nintendo site so of course you won’t hear many of our grievances we have with other companies doing what Nintendo is doing right now unless it directly effects Nintendo themselves. To say we have double standards is either bullshit or the inner Nintendo fanboy trying to defend and damage control for Nintendo to make it seem like poor Ninty is some kind of victim being hated on while everyone non-Nintendo gets a free pass. So tell me. Which one do you prefer? Bullshit calls or inner fanboy running amok?

I need to get Airplane on Bluray.
The mere fact that you say something obvious as stating that you won’t hear complaints about Sony or Microsoft on a Nintendo site as a way to try to prove your point is questionable and laughable at best.
It’s also pretty hilarious that you’re bringing up double standards. I was meaning double standards in relation to the fact that people complained about the fact that Nintendo isn’t sharing their IPs enough, and then when Nintendo does do it, they complain that they’re sharing their IPs. That’s freaking stupid to say the least. Then again, my earlier statements of the fact that people will turn a blind eye for the other companies isn’t false in any way, shape, or form, as, while some do complain, it’s not nearly as much as Nintendo. I swear, it’s like people think that it’s the black death or something.
Interesting how you brought up “fanboys”, as there are fanboys on all camps. So obviously that means there’s going to be people who turn a blind eye whenever someone does something wrong. Like I said before, I’m pretty much against Nintendo sharing their IPs and letting others use them however they like, but I’m not complaining because it’s not my IP. I so-called “defended” them because I don’t hate people nor do I hate companies and I see the good in everything (I do the same with Microsoft- and Sony-dedicated websites). in fact, most of my arguments are coming from legal backgrounds. But it’s (oddly enough) fun to see people coming into a site dedicated for a company bashing the company and arguing with the “fanboys”, wasting their time and energy doing so (or in this case, it’s fun to see some people come into a Nintendo-dedicated site, bashing Nintendo, and then arguing to the Nintendo “fanboys”).
If you don’t like Nintendo, then leave (I’ve already told this to you before, so I’m not going to repeat myself again). The fact that you’re still here is actually pretty hilarious and has made my day (it’s been a pretty long day at work).
I’m not saying don’t criticize Nintendo (no one is immune to it) and I’m not hating on you necessarily (because opinions, America is a free country, etc.), but make sure it’s correct and justified and it’s in the same line as everyone else. For example, one thing that I am absolutely FURIOUS about Nintendo is their war with the Let’s Plays (and the fact that Fair Use (even for educational use) does not exist in Canada doesn’t help). I don’t like their current account system. I don’t like the fact that GameCube games aren’t in Virtual Console yet. I don’t like the region locking (because I’ve been too spoiled with Google Play). I hate the fact that there are exclusives on amiibo with certain stores (because I’d rather not deal with EB Games). I find it absolutely stupid that they didn’t truly take advantage of the Seattle Mariners (like making the damn team better, but I don’t like baseball, so I don’t know why I have those feelings). And I (up until this point) HATED the fact that their developer portals were disorganized (now they look like they combined them and stuff, so I’m glad they got their crap together).
As you can see, I can freely come up with things that I don’t like about Nintendo, but they’re just a company. A for-profit company (that so many people including you, yes: YOU, has this weirdly strong feeling against Nintendo) that couldn’t give two shits about you except for what you have in your wallet (or now phone, because Apple/Android/Samsung/ LG (really? The hell is this crap? -_-) Pay, etc.). Nor do they give a shit about what you say. (Especially due to their decades of cash and the fact that they can always move to another industry. After all, they’re 120+ years old and Japanese companies are usually very reliant.)
That’s fact and something that you should understand every time you write an angry comment. They didn’t give a shit in the ’80s, ’90s, or ’00s and I doubt they’ll care now or beyond.
“I was meaning double standards in relation to the fact that people complained about the fact that Nintendo isn’t sharing their IPs enough, and then when Nintendo does do it, they complain that they’re sharing their IPs.”
This was all you needed to say, actually, since I wasn’t exactly mad at you specifically since I’m tired of people making excuses for Nintendo in general.
For the record, I’m still here because I want Nintendo to do better by their fans and customers because I care about what happens to them and I love some of the things they offer. If they fail anymore and eventually leave the video game market because people like you could care less if they continue making video games, it’ll be a sad day for some of us no matter how mad we’re at Nintendo. So you see, you might find it hilarious that people like me are still here complaining but we’re complaining because we care about Nintendo. But I don’t expect someone that comes off as a casual Nintendo fan to understand that. That’s like telling me not to care about what happens to my government because they are only supposed to care about my vote and tax money and could give two shits about my opinion. Because in reality, they do care about our opinion to a degree if they want to continue making tons of money. This is the difference between a company still making money & a company declaring bankruptcy. So if you think it’s hilarious or whatever to care about a company’s IPs and whether they make money is actually rather hilarious, too. If we don’t care, we don’t buy. If we don’t buy, they don’t make money. If they don’t make money… I hope you get the picture. Running a business is like a circle. If one part of that circle doesn’t continue then the business dies. Simple as that. In fact, you mentioned you’ve had a long day at work. If you work for a business as an employee, you should know how important a customer’s opinions are, not scoff at them for caring about a company because their positive opinions is what gets you paid. My comment was probably pointless but I’ll post it all the same. Maybe it’ll wake you up a bit and make you understand how important opinions for a company really are. If not for yourself, me, or the others mad at Nintendo, at least for the people that depend on Nintendo to stay afloat so they can keep their families healthy and fed.
Ok. A number of things:
– You’re tired of people making excuses for Nintendo in general. Fair enough. I’M tired of people trying to unjustly find fault in ANY company or person in general. In this case with Pokémon Go’s issues, you find fault in them simply because they own the IP. That’s honestly grasping for straws. I’ve already given examples of how the argument is ridiculous enough already so I won’t repeat it here; you can find them on your own.
– “Casual Nintendo fan”. Dude, I don’t know about you, but I’ve been dealing with them since the late 80s. I have most of their consoles and handhelds. (Save for the Virtual Boy and Game Boy Color; although, I only had a NES, N64, and GB by the year 2000, but, well you know: friends, family, and Ebay.) I have tons of games (in storage) and many more along the way. At the same time, though, I have a PS4, Xbox One (by way of selling my PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360 (with respective games)), and PSP go (yeah: I have one, so sue me), with some games on both ends. I barely play on any of them (because I work hard for my money and I barely have time for myself), but when I do, I enjoy playing them all. I have issues with all three, but I’m fine with them. I just prefer using Nintendo’s systems because it’s part of my childhood and I like the games that they make (past and present). Some just to relax, and others almost competitively. If that’s what you call a “casual Nintendo fan”, then I have absolutely no idea where that phase came from.
– You said you would be a sad day if they went bankrupt or left the gaming industry. Man, I wouldn’t shed a tear. Do they pay your bills? When you were sick, did they (I’m assuming you don’t have free health care, or at least Canada’s health care system) pay for your surgeries? Did they make sure that you have a place to sleep? Eat? If yes, I truly do apologize and I’ll shut up immediately (I’m actually not joking). If Nintendo helped you when you were down (especially if it’s something like depression), then I can sympathize with you on that, but the fact that they die out doesn’t change that fact. But if not, then I honestly feel bad for you. Like I said before, I wouldn’t really care if Nintendo fails. I DO care about the people working there. And if one dies, THAT will be sad. I was sad when Iwata died. I’ll be sad if Miyamoto kicked the bucket. I’d be sad if any one of those people that made the games that I enjoy died. That’s what I care about. These products are all material objects. You can’t bring your SNES to your grave and life is too short. And most importantly, just because Nintendo goes the way of the dodo doesn’t mean my games or your games (or anyone’s games for that matter) will all of the sudden cease to exist. Yes: I would be unable to play Splatoon (and I like Splatoon). Yes: if I don’t backup my stuff properly, I won’t be able to play the games anymore if I deleted them for some reason or the hard drive died (and that’s one of the reasons why I have a ton of SSDs in my house). But I’m not going to die. Get real.
(With that said, you can make the argument that many of them depend on Nintendo to pay their bills, etc. And you’d be right. But you also have to realize that because they’ve worked at Nintendo, they won’t have a very hard time getting into another company that’s in a similar industry. I should know this because I had some experience in a large company and I easily got myself another job when I left the first one. Companies respect other companies and in the case of video game companies, they all (for the most part) respect Nintendo. Case in point: McDonald’s training is actually quite good and many restaurants like that and will take pause before discarding whatever resume they’re looking at. All of this doesn’t disprove the point that they don’t really care about you, though.)
– But even with that, you made another comment in the same page stating that if Nintendo goes under, you’ll at least have a Sony console to have fun with. So clearly you can throw them away easily and not feel really bad. Geez: it’s just a company.
– “That’s like telling me not to care about what happens to my government because they are only supposed to care about my vote and tax money and could give two shits about my opinion.” If you didn’t care about your government, then that’s ACTUALLY not all that uncommon. A lot of people don’t really care about their government, but because they’re legally obligated to follow the laws, most of them pay attention (and if they don’t they can leave the country, but most people don’t have the money or the place to do so). You’re not legally obligated to listen to Nintendo, you can leave without much consequence (unless you can prove me otherwise), and do they run the country that you live in. (If they do, well then that’s just messed up and twisted (and reminds me of Mirror’s Edge. But anyway…).)
– Oh, I get exactly how a company operates. And I’m well aware of the business version of “the circle of life”. But also, the fact that you deal with “blind fanboys” tells me that Nintendo will do just fine for some time. Not to mention the fact that the Japanese communities are a lot more positive with Nintendo then America and Europe (which… makes… uh… sense). Yes, they make more of their money overseas, and yes, some of the community has a bone to pick on with Nintendo, but they can still survive with the Japanese community (assuming they no longer did things in the American and European markets).
– Also: thinking it’s hilarious that I don’t care if they went bankrupt? I’m sorry, what? They don’t need to stay afloat in order for me to survive, so explain to me how the hell that’s considered hilarious. In fact, caring about whether their IPs make money is VERY close to fanboyism. I’ll be honest: I care, but not too the extent that you’re getting at. It’s lower than a pet. Once again, it’s a company, and unless they’re paying my bills and making sure I don’t lose my apartment, I’m not going to die if they do.
– By the way, did you forget that they do more than video games? They have their playing cards that don’t make them a lot of money, sure, but they’re getting into the health business. As a matter of fact, they sort of have a history of doing that kind of thing (quickly getting into new industries). So if one fails, they can simply move on to the next one. And they’ve said that they have enough cash for them to last for about, what, 40 years? This means they can screw up all this time for many decades and still have some money left. If you honestly expect me to believe that they can’t bounce themselves back up by using another industry to keep themselves afloat, well then… I don’t know else what to say to you. Yes, companies can fall and Nintendo is no exception, but looking at their history (as well as many other old companies from Japan), chances are very possible that they’re probably going to survive for a while.
I’m telling you: they don’t care. The only times that they care is if they can find a way to ring you out financially even more. You’ve obviously heard the saying that corporations can be evil. Well, if they truly care to an extent, then I guess that statement isn’t true all, isn’t it?
You know who are actually the closet to caring? Not-for-profit organizations and indie businesses. Those also care about money, but they have either an actual cause to take care of, or they’re not in a position to screw up many times. Therefore they HAVE to cater to their costumers. Nintendo, on the other hand, is a for-profit company that caters to their shareholders and no one else. They’re in (and still in) a position to mess up many times and not be in financial ruin as a result. And even IF they’re fully catering to people like you, if they fail, they can simply go to kids and adults that haven’t be fully exposed to gaming and cater to them (even if it means going to mobile and acting like King). So don’t be delusional. With that said, I don’t hate you. Nor do I know you. You could be the best person in the world, or the most evil person in the world. I don’t care: you’re still human. Between you and Nintendo, I would prefer caring about you then them. I have more important things to deal with.
So with all that said, why am I here? Like I said, they were part of my childhood, I like their games, I enjoy following the performance of all companies (with the products that I use), and (most importantly, with respect to this website and a couple of others), I enjoy it when haters waste their time arguing against others like they need to do so in order to feel better about themselves. You say that you complain because you care about Nintendo. Okay, that’s perfectly fine, and in fact, I complain too (by emailing to them), but complain about the things that are actually justified to complain about (example: all of the things I mentioned in my last comment).
Why are some of these people here in this place always using the term hater to describe me when I criticize Nintendo? It’s getting rather annoying, really. *shrug* Whatever, though. Like I told that other guy here, there are more important things concerning Nintendo I have to trash than some stupid mobile game. Oh & what I told Brandon about these facts being technicalities to protect Nintendo for something that should be their job since they have stake in Pokemon. But I digress. This topic bores me now.
I didn’t call you a “hater”, did I? I’m pretty sure I didn’t. I said “hater” in the general sense. If you felt like I did, I feel bad for you, but I’m not going to apologize for something I didn’t do, and it’s crap like this that pisses me off. If you’re going to criticize, criticize it correctly and properly; don’t blindly bash them of one little thing just because.
The stuff I’ve mentioned before, yes, trash them to the ground for that. But this thing? Petty and stupid.
Oh, in the general sense. My mistake.
Oh and I do understand most of what you are trying to say. But I got my opinion that Nintendo should be a bit more watchful of something they own stock in. Maybe I could have saved us both a lot of time and just said that outright but I doubt it would have done any good. Besides that, it was a nice little excuse to socialize with someone… and annoy them with my unbending point of view. I guess being stubborn is a family trait.
Where did I say that I was annoyed. In fact, I said it many times that I enjoyed it. Unless you’re talking about the fact that I said something along the lines of “it’s things like this that piss me off”. I was referring to the specific thing that you mentioned about me calling you a “hater” when I actually didn’t. I get pissed off that people would lie in order to get sympathy. That kind of attitude is revolting and disgusting.
If anything, you seem annoyed. After all, you did say that this topic is boring you, so there seems to be some traits of annoyance that you’re having.
And saying that you have an “unbending point of view” doesn’t scare me in the slightest. I don’t have to try to change your mind; I can do this all day (especially since it’s the weekend). In fact, it’s better in my favour that you stay like this because it just makes me enjoy this more. So I don’t think your plan is working if you think I was deterred by that.
But then again, and I know I sound like a broken record, but I want to make sure that you understand this clearly: I don’t hate you. In fact, I don’t know you and I don’t want to expect for the fact that you’re human (unless you’re a cat, in which case, well, I knew that this day would come, but whatever). I just think that you should actually pick out the correct criticisms instead of going through petty things like this or things that are unwaveringly and morally in their favour. If you (once again) look at my list of complaints (that are not complete, by the way), you can see that all of them fit that description that they are not morally in their favour, so I think those are the ones that you should focus on, not this shit. That, and also be aware that not only does Nintendo doesn’t give a rat’s ass about what you’re saying, but also that they’ll just consider you a troll and ignore you. They’ll see constructive criticism when they see it (though, listening to THAT is another story altogether).
Finally, trust me: some of the people I know are LEAPS and BOUNDS more stubborn than you and I sometimes have made them cry (though I honestly don’t mean to do so). This sort of thing that you’re doing is completely elementary compared to the shit I deal with nearly everyday.
SO MANY LONG WALLS OF TEXT!
MANY ADVENTURES AWAIT US!
Honestly, it’s only on this site. XD
Leave it to you to break the tension with a joke. lol Thanks for that, Link!
Run, Jaded! The damage control and defenses for Nintendo are strong here! God! So many people showing such a fanboy mentality. Remember when everyone could have given two shits about Nintendo making mobile games and were hating on Nintendo for doing mobile? Those times are dead now. o.O So many people brainwashed by Nintendo because of their success at E3 2016 with showing off only one game that they’ve forgotten the amount of lies and fuck ups Nintendo has committed this gen. If NX fucks up in any way, though, some of these people are going to go right back to joining us at talking trash about Nintendo and forget all about this game’s “success.”
Or maybe it’s not because of Nintendo but because it’s Pokemon. Remember when the Pokemon Company sued that one guy for throwing a Pokemon themed party and charged 2 bucks for admission to help pay for the expenses and so many people defended them for suing the poor guy? This might just be a continuation of that.
Or…you know. He’s wrong and was disproven on multiple aspects with facts? But hey, say we’re a “defense force” or whatever. You’re just proving his point further.
What you call facts, I call technicalities to protect Nintendo from not doing their job and protecting their investment in their property which is Pokemon. But whatever.
Yes but you should start at the bottom and make your way up. You talk or take your complaint to the developer and then to the publisher. If you have an issue with a with a burger from mcdonalds, you would go to that restaurant first and if no resolve then contact corporate. Same situation.
“Nintendo owns the majority share of Game freaks”
That’s not true whatsoever. Nintendo and Game Freak hold equal-sized shares of The Pokemon Company as co-owners. Nintendo owns none of Game Freak.
Don’t be in delusion. Nintendo had to earn that star. They’re the most original out of all video game companies. Of course there’s gotta be some advantage to that. Stuff like Breath of the Wild and NX raising hopes. Yeah. That star’s never running out.
Delusional? What the fuck are you talking about. Shit. Breath of the Wild comes out and half the fan boys start acting like they are high on Crack and back to their blind, ignorant selves.
Well, at least we had a brief period of time where fans thought rationally. Time for the Manic stage of Nintendo Fandom Bipolar disease.
If you’re just moaning all the time do everyone else a favour and piss off you annoying cunt. All I’ve seen is your whinging all morning about the stupidist of things.
Boo hooooo the servers for Pokemon Go aren’t working – get over yourself.
<3
Nintendo hasn’t lasted this long on pure fanboys. They have made genuinely fun and new games. Every company has fanboys. You complain about people who are excited about a new Zelda ( which I believe has expanded and grown compared to the other great games in the series ) but the same can be argued about everyone who gets excited about the rehash of Call of Duty, FIFA, FORZA, Halo, etc. Just because you don’t like Nintendo games as much as others doesn’t mean you have to be disrespect about it. That is what is wrong with the gaming community. They complain and moan about things that don’t even pertain to them.
It’s apparently pointless to diss on this game. I’ve noticed the defense force is in full force on these articles for Pokemon GO. Time to be smart & choose our battles wisely, Jaded. Let these people have their stupid Pokemon mobile game.
I don’t mind people complaining just find the right one to complain to. We can’t help you but if you complain to the right company they may be able to help you. Complaining to your friends about your girlfriend won’t help her see what is bothering you. When did I start doing the bad comparison thing?
It’s called letting out our frustrations. It’s healthy. Unless you prefer we go talk to those guys at Nintendo all pissed off and cussing them out, let us vent!
venting is fun. you will be venting a lot if you don’t let companies know what you unhappy about.
Well I could use Miiverse to do that but then my posts would get deleted for some bullshit reason. But it won’t matter if they don’t even listen. If NX ignores what we’ve been complaining about with Wii U and it’s the same bullshit all over again, there won’t be any point to let them know why we’re unhappy because they’ll just tell us “fuck you” and continue doing their bullshit. Exactly why I’m voting with my wallet and not buying any of the bullshit they release til I hear some good things from the inevitable NX reveal.
||Except he downloaded it , wants it and complains that it doesn’t “work”, this is why both Pro-Nintendo and Anti-Nintendo forces in its whole are hypocrites and weak…||
||An example would be some bashing Xboxes or Xbots and still buying their garbage, there is no logical argument to support such foolish actions…||
||Good, now 70% will go to the army…||
Damn that’s great news but could you imagine what’s gonna happen to their shares when they put a Mario game on mobile? It’s gonna be extremely hard for their competitors on mobile to compete with that seeing as that is most likely the most anticipated franchise to be on mobile. Nintendo is gonna make billions and billions of dollars from the mobile market GUARANTEED
*Pulls out the money printer*
Indeed, but I just hope that they keep makin full experiences in console market even if the buckets of billions comes from mobile. Am i being naive?

How does Pokemon Go generate revenue, does it have in-app purchases or something? Or are there ads? Because it’s free-to-play, right?
In-app purchases like 90% of other apps out there. But you can find most of the purchasable items through Pokestops, so it’s nothing required or anything at all.
I wonder how many users are going to end up spending money in-app? Hopefully Nintendo has found that sweet spot where you can enjoy the game if you’re playing for free, but paying is also worth it for people who really get into it. That way, everyone can keep enjoying Pokemon GO, but it also can make them lots of money.
Nintendo gonna use all those money for mobile/NX. and damn that’s alot off $$$
Nintendo is doomed.
Nintendo is dying.
Nintendo currently has a market value of about $23 billion.

||Now I want to see a pile of 23 billion dead Xbots under my legs…||
If we had a dollar for every time someone said Nintendo do was doomed, we’d have $23 billion also.
I’ve been enjoying the game. It was better than I thought it would be. I usually dislike phone app games. Wish it was nicer weather though.
I’ve tried to play it three different times now, and everytime the servers are down.
Elsewhere on Wall Street– Nintendo’s stocks are soaring like an American Eagle! As of 11:53 am EDT, here’s a look at their stocks at this moment–

Why so shady, Shaded_Nobones?
Keeps people from seeing my Sith-yellow eyes. XD
Even when a Nintendo game releases glitched, they still somehow make money. Give it time. Nintendo will just be like the very people so many Nintendo “fans” hate on for releasing buggy, glitchy games on release day. But since this thing is initially free, it’s okay for Nintendo to release it half assed, right? Excuse me. I better clarify that as GameFreak & Niantic before someone screams about “it’s not Nintendo’s fault!” I guess people want to pretend that Nintendo doesn’t own some of Pokemon when they do so therefore they do have a hand in this negativity since they can easily say “no! Don’t release that game til it’s finished!” because they own a piece of the franchise. Or maybe Nintendo thinks they can get away with sitting at the sidelines because of the people that will defend them with the lie that Nintendo can’t do anything about this game releasing broken, glitched, whatever word you want to use. But their stocks have soared so the defenders will pretend the things wrong with Pokemon GO don’t exist. *shrug* Whatever. I’m gonna be more open to buying a Sony console from now on so if Nintendo ever goes under, I’ll have a backup console to have fun on.
Anyway, I hope NX is revealed with nothing but great features like a universal account system & releases with many, many great 1st & 3rd party games and very few casual shit as possible so I can at least have more positive things to say concerning Nintendo in the next 6 months to a year. Now let me go back to thinking about Breath of the Wild for a couple of minutes so I can be blissfully ignorant about Nintendo circling the edge of a pool with a hungry great white shark waiting for some dumb bitch to fall in with it because they don’t want to get off the fucking edge because they think they are invincible or something.
What the actual fuck does this have to do with NX???
My second paragraph went off-topic. Thankfully, this isn’t Miiverse. The admins here aren’t going to freak out and overreact to every little off-topic comment. You must be new here, though. Some of us, or most of us, tend to go off topic.
i have been here for a while. >:D
||If I had complete control over Miiverse I would of course demolish all those silly NN laws, except I would have a zero tolerance to anyone owning an Xbox of some kind or even mentions anything regarding Xboxes and related…||
