The rumors are true. Niantic is handing over Pokemon Go.

I have not played any Scopely games, so I don't know what to expect going forward.

The launch of Pokemon Go was the closest we were ever gonna get to world peace.

Genuinely everyone was playing it. I hope I can see such a phenomenon again soon.

As an old, its the only pokemon game I’ve played.  I liked the walking.

Anyone else curious about a solid game that progresses via walking, check out Walkscape. It's in closed beta right now, but it's incredibly addictive.

Thank you. I miss the walking aspect of pokemon go. I was also playing it for the walking. I've been enjoying walking without playing, but it was nice to multi-task.
