Pokemon CEO claims it has only accomplished 10% of what it wants to do with Pokemon G


The Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara has claimed that the firm has only accomplished 10% of what it set out to do in Niantic's game Pokemon GO.

Speaking to Bloomberg, Ishihara explained that "going forward we will have to include fundamental Pokémon experiences such as Pokémon trading and peer-to-peer battles."

He also touched on certain design ideas behind the game and its location-based gameplay. He noted that it is difficult to strike a balance between placing Pokemon in areas that make thematic sense, while also allowing players to actually catch them.

"One view is to have chilly Pokémon in a cold climate, but then that would also mean that people born on a tropical island won’t be able to catch them," he said.

Future of AR

Ishitara also touched on the potential of AR, saying that "with current AR, even if you say Pikachu is there, no one really thinks that. But that reality is just one step away."

Aside from Pokemon GO, he also briefly spoke about the upcoming Pokemon game for the Switch, due to launch in 2018. Ishitara noted that unlike mobile, the Switch isn't assumed to have a constant Internet connection, which makes it more akin to a 3DS and therefore requires a similar design philosophy.

The Pokemon GO Fest may have been a disaster, but if there was one bright spot to be found in the weekend's events, it was the unlocking of a couple of Legendary Pokemon for folks to catch. Over the next couple of weeks, there'll be two more. Niantic has announced that Moltres will be available between July 31-August 7, and Zapdos will be available between August 8-14. Articuno, meanwhile, will disappear on July 31. (Note: these dates are US time.) As a reminder, here's what you need to do in order to catch a Legendary: As Trainers around the world go out and explore their neighbourhoods in search of Pokemon and Raid Battles, they can keep an eye out for unique Legendary Eggs appearing at Gyms. If Trainers and their team are able to successfully defeat a Legendary Raid Boss, they will have the opportunity to catch a Legendary Pokemon of their own! While Legendary Pokemon will help them take on the toughest Raid Bosses and Gym Battles, they're not willing to le

Pokemon GO Players Beat A Moltres Raid With Just Two People

Legendary raids are supposed to be Pokemon GO 's toughest battles, with promotional materials often showing large groups of people fighting a single monster. Turns out, it's possible to down a legendary with just two people. You'll note that the whole thing was done with fan-favourite counter-pick Golem, with levels in the 30s, CP in the high 2000s, and likely with high IVs to boot. In this case, Golem's rock/ground-type resists Moltres' primary attacks, something that certainly helps when trying to duo a mighty monster. The players have to go through a small army of Golem to defeat Moltres, and by the end, there are only seconds left on the timer. Boushinshi just baaaaarely pulls it off. Fans predicted this would be possible a while back, but seeing it in action is something else. To think throwing rocks at legendaries over and over again would be this effective!
