DISCUSSION

This week, Spike, Slagkick, and Sulker discuss the phenomenon that is Pokémon Go! The trainers look at the early days of Niantic Labs, the development of Ingress, and the April Fools joke in collaboration with Satoru Iwata and Tsunekazu Ishihara – all culminating in the recent release of the highly anticipated Pokémon Go! The title has become a gaming and pop culture sensation, and the trainers discuss their experiences with the game so far, as well as how they would like to see it grow, and how it may draw new audiences for Pokémon Sun and Moon.
