"People still play that game?"It's the first comment on any Pokémon GO story I write, to which the answer is yes. Sensor Tower has done a two year retrospective on the game to estimate that it's pulled in $1.8 billion in revenue since its launch on July 6, 2016. For comparison's sake, $1.8 billion is more than every movie ever released has made outside of Titanic, Avatar, The Force Awakens and Infinity War. All in all, Pokémon GO is still making $2 million a day, so yes, people still play this game. A Chinese launch is still coming down the line, opening the game up to a billion plus microtransaction-friendly playersAnd that's just what we know about.

Celebi Is Live In 'Pokémon GO' Now, Global Release Coming Soon
Pokémon GO Fest is entering its second day in Chicago, and while I'm not there this year, it looks like a much better time than last year. Like last year, attendees are getting a crack at a special prize as well: Gen 2 mythic Pokémon Celebi is available in the park right now, with a global release following after. People started catching Celebi after what seemed like a pretty brief and park-specific special research questline yesterday. The exclusivity won't last all that long, however: Celebi will be seeing a global release at some point, and likely soon. We'll let you know what the Celebi questline is as soon as it goes live.'Pokémon GO' Community Day: How To Get A Squirtle With Sunglasses
As it stated in Pokémon GO community day comes a little bit early this month. Sunglasses Squirtle will be made available through field research, so getting it is a little more complicated than just wandering around until you encounter a shiny. When community day starts, you'll want to spin photo discs to get new research tasks. Fans of the Pokémon anime will know the sunglasses from Squirtle's introduction in the original, Kanto based series from way back in 1997. The real prize here, one assumes, will be a shiny sunglasses Squirtle.'The Walking Dead: Our World' Falls Into A Mobile Trap 'Pokémon GO' Avoided
Yesterday, I wrote about The Walking Dead: Our World and how it offered a few advantages over Pokémon GO. Part of the fun of Pokémon GO is that you can play it essentially as much as you want. But with timegating, The Walking Dead: Our World flips a switch rather quickly. This is equivalent to say, Pokémon GO selling bundles that come with 5-6 different Pokémon of different rarities and levels, rather than forcing you to go out and you know, actually catch them. Clearly I am calling out The Walking Dead: Our World for stuff that a zillion other mobile games do, and most games do it worse than what we're seeing here.
