Pokemon Go: What Nintendo Needs To Learn From Ingress

[wraggster]

Pokemon Go marks Nintendo's biggest move into mobile yet: the augmented reality mobile game makes use of your location as well as your phone's camera to let you interact with pocket monsters in the real world. It's an audacious idea — with an accompanying trailer — but as one writer points out it will have to nail a lot of different systems (http://www.redbull.com/en/games/stories/1331748628235/what-can-nintendo-pok%C3%A9mon-go-learn-from-ingress) to build up an active community in the same that developer Niantic has done for its previous game, Ingress. The author looks at Ingress to see where Nintendo and Niantic may draw inspiration, pointing out that the game's portal modding system could prove a great mechanism for allowing Pokemon evolutions. Expect plenty more Pokemonamiibo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiibo) to interact with the upcoming wristband, too.
