Pokemon Go: Why so few Pokemon second generation were deployed?
Yesterday, Niantic Labs unveiled its second generation of Pokemon in Pokemon Go. A shipment of new monsters which is limited for now to some familiar faces of the players. Why so few have been deployed in the application? The wording has tried to answer this question.
The second generation is finally available in Pokemon Go! After the announcement of Niantic Labs awaited by gamers yesterday on the arrival of new monsters, players quickly became disillusioned by seeing very little was available to capture (or rather hatching). Togepi, Pichu, Smoochum, Magby … No big deal, we hear you say … That’s what many thought at first on social networks, but after this past disappointment than joy to see the trainers s’ marvel at a Pikachu wearing a Santa hat and other … Mission accomplished, therefore, for the US firm that has seen many players return to the application , then they had abandoned several months earlier. But why not have circulated the 100 new Pokemon second generation? Why so little now? The answer is not particularly hard to find.
First, because it is simple to implement … As revealed developers Niantic few weeks ago about an update for the exchange, it is easier to create and deploy new Pokemon that to offer an exchange or fighting system, a programming point of view . No wonder we see come new people, and even if the 100 new monsters are already registered in the source code for a long time, propose a half-dozen only allows Niantic not too wet and avoid bugs related to these additions . And deploy some from time to time, it keeps the players on the long-term. One reason, therefore, for society editor application, not to give too much of a blow to gamers who sometimes know how to be anxious.
Super Mario Run
Difficult for Pokemon Go to encroach on the release of Super Mario Run
Then, because of the release of Super Mario Run on smartphone . Although Pokemon Go is not developed by Nintendo, the Japanese company has not participated in its preparation and holding only a small part in Niantic fundraising, however, it has 32% stake in the Pokemon Franchise , which thus has consequences. Nintendo is related somehow to Go Pokemon Go Pokemon as is related in some way to Nintendo. So to avoid the shadow of the giant video game , due out tomorrow a new smartphone application around Super Mario, Niantic may have also chosen to reveal that little thing . One way to boost sales of the app on the adventures of mustachioed plumber without encroaching on its download, and while offering an acceptable content for trainers eager to capture Pokemon.
Pokemon Go, Pichu, Togepi
Pichu and Togepi were announced early last night
Finally, to keep them as long as possible players in the long term . Giving direct access to the 100 Pokemon of the second generation, Niantic would have taken the risk of losing many more players in the coming months after they have caught them . Having gradually deploy its new batch of pocket monsters will allow the American company to keep a little longer players capable of starting when they are lack of news. A strategy that works: event for Halloween, Thanksgiving, deployment Metamorph … each update Pokemon Go helped inflate a little more the number of players , yet in free fall, and fill part of the shortfall. For example, according to the site Recore , the event for Halloween Niantic allowed to return many players, as to make up for the rising income of the firm 13.2% . No doubt then that this new update, with Togepi, Melo and company, allowing the return of players. Earlier, you spoke drafting of Pokemon Go to Smoochum to Elekid Magby and disembarking. In your opinion, are there other reasons?
