Pokemon Go generates more than six times the revenue of the second most profitable game – Candy Crush Saga!

To amass the sweets on “Pokemon Go” players need to make sure that the game is running, something similar to hatching eggs.
On the other hand, the new rumored feature coming out is the “Pokemon Go” trading system.
The craze about “Pokemon Go” was nearly dreamlike when it was first launched in a few countries on July 7, peaking at 25 million downloads on July 14.
The update also added support for Pokemon Go Plus, a wrist companion accessory which lets players catch Pokemon as well as collect items without any smartphone. Pokemon GO Plus, at the moment, has no feature that allows players to have gym battles without using their smartphones. One redditor posted screenshot of the notifications for “Pokemon Go” upon using the wearable accessory. Once a Pokemon has been selected, the player must walk 1 and 5 kilometers to earn a piece of candy for the Pokemon. On the negative side, it only detects the Pokemon players have caught in the past. Why distance tracking is not working on the Pokemon Go App in lock mode without the Pokemon Go Plus is puzzling. It is further believed that players will get to see the Legendary Pokemons soon in preparation for Niantic’s first special event dedicated to the game. As of the time of this writing, Pokemon GO Plus only uses regular Pokeballs, so Great Balls and Ultra Balls can only be used when playing through the app itself. Collecting items from the PokeStop functions the same as catching a wild Pokemon – just tap the button in the middle of the device. Furthermore, an issue where eggs hatched without an egg-hatching animation has been fixed.

Even as gamers in several regions, including Asian countries like India, China, South Korea, Saudi Arabia etc., are anxiously waiting for the release of Niantic’s popular game “Pokemon Go”, Americans appear to have had enough of the game as its in-game purchases have dropped drastically last month.
