I want to voice my concerns about the future of Pokemon Go so I'll do it here.

The power inflation is insane. The game will probably be unplayable to new
players by the end of this month. Unlike Ingress, the game does not have a way
to "remove" power from the game. You can increase the combined combat points
of your pokemon collection unbound, and you have a massive power inflation
going on. Sure, you get diminishing returns on the training but in the end the
pokemon don't disappear and you have a permanent increase in strength. Ingress
mechanics always removes XM from the system and you get an equilibrium with
the spawn rate of XM and the consumption rate of XM (roughly equal to the rate
of portal turnover). Pokemon Go has none of that. If this isn't addressed
properly I think the game might just die.

There's two things of interest here. The game itself, which is really thin as
far as gameplay and will dry up like a standard MMORPG as people go crazy
leveling and the initial rush dies down. But the social aspect of meeting up
at hotspots and dropping lures to get a party started and all that feels like
a new sort of sensation that should persist beyond this one game.

The real key is the location data from Ingress. There's plenty of room to
expand into other games, to create a cross-game persistent world or do any
number of fun things (they already have the original Ingress game and a travel
app based on it). It'll be interesting to see if they can keep branching off
from this. I think ultimately it could become a sort of better Foursquare and
that's where real advertising $ could come into play.

It's been an advertiser's dream for a while for a phone app to make some sort
of "location alerts with coupons" hit critical mass and slathering that over
this game would be extremely easy (go to the Starbucks to get a Pikachu or
free lure!)

 The exponent inflation is insane. The game will credibly be unplayable to new 
 players by the end of this calendar month. Unlike Ingress, the plot does not have a way 
 to " remove " power from the game. You can increase the combine combat points 
 of your pokemon solicitation unbound, and you have a massive power inflation 
 going on. Sure, you get diminishing returns on the education but in the end the 
 pokemon don't disappear and you have a permanent addition in strength. Ingress 
 mechanics always removes XM from the arrangement and you get an equilibrium with 
 the spawn rate of XM and the consumption rate of XM (approximately equal to the rate 
 of portal turnover). Pokemon Go has none of that. If this isn't addressed 
 properly I remember the game might just die.
