Pokemon Go Might Finally Have Hit Its Peak Number of Users in the US

As someone pointed out, the game becomes boring quite fast since there are so few battles options and the battle itself is terryble, involving only taps and wipes. Also Niantics is terrible in public relations and just shuts itself up. Geez, I've seen dictatorships being more communative and public friendly than Niantics! Well, it was nice while it lasted. Bye, pokégo. Right now I'm just wainting for august 9th to say "hello there, no man's sky"!

I searched, I downloaded, I played. its alright. I do understand why some have found themselves in places they shouldn't be, if the pokemon is at the bottom of the screen you have to get close other wise every time I tapped to catch it would instead open one of the three tabs at the bottom of the screen. and my battery went from 85% to 32% within the hour.......

don't see why people have dedicated their life to it though.

i still play it but noticed this last weekend it began to lose it's luster. Tired of seeing the crap Pokemon pop up all the time and don't even bother at this point. I'm level 12 and can't even take a gym yet. Some of the people i'm sure are paying good money to power up their Pokemon to remain on top.

I see myself slowly opening the app less and less. it's to be expected though. Same thing happened to me with Clash of Clans and Clash Royale.

Well that's usually how fads work and that's all this game is; A fad. Hopefully it will die. As a Pokemon game, this game is terrible. Minus the social and workout aspects that is. Those are the only good things.

@7tizz: pretty sure at some point or another Google has already collected all the data they need from you.

@7tizz: well durrrr nantic is a google based company, its a gps based game using AR. so its going to need to know all that info.

--it really does help give an idea of how many console gamers exist in the US
--hardcore gamers
--it always seems around 35,000,000
--dedicated 'real' hard core gamers
--but
--i know it might hurt some gamer's feelings
--but
--if you didnt ever buy a wiiU
--you have to mix a little soft into your "hardcore" title

People wanted to see what all the hubub was about and only then realized it really not all that special and uninstalled it. My guess is that the total will drop about 25% and the rest will be die hards playing the game. But hey if you enjoy a game then thats just fine, have fun with it, go outside and catch em. Jammin

It will drop even more when the flurry on games coming out between September and December are released

Dang, now thats a lot of gamers.

"But the data suggests that Pokemon Go, even though it is a mobile juggernaut, still is affected by normal app usage trends."

~this seems silly. Obviously it was going to decline eventually. What'd we expect, that the user base would continue to rise indefinitely?

So what this chart is telling me is that over 20 million people in the US alone is playing this. This number is half of PS4s global userbase. Matches the X1 userbase. In the US alone. Sorry I can't see it as a bad thing.

No. I stopped playing four days ago. I dug out my old DS and Pokemon Fire Red.

Of course it's declining. The tracking has been broken for the past week. A few minutes ago I would've left the house to find that rihorn that was nearby, but knowing that the tracker is broken, I didn't bother.
