to ever happen...like all time...
I don't hate them all, but they are inherently inferior. I don't think this is the same criticism since I like the idea of AR, but no one is actually saying positive things about the game. Not the idea of the game, but the game itself.
You can play Hearthstone on the phone or tablet and even if it's inferior to the PC version, it still kicks ass. Plenty of great handheld games. Angry Birds aint one of them, and this isn't either.
Still...good for them for getting people out of the house and in the park. It's funny going for a run and spotting the Pokezombies.

I still think it's one of the best things to ever happen to gamers. That doesn't make it a great game. It doesn't make it a bad one either. A game made a subsection of otherwise inactive people active. Gamers who don't exercise getting exercise. Anti social people being social. Kids and adults sharing a common interest. Friendly competition. You have kids setting up snack bars and lemonade stands at gyms and pokestops. It's great. I've never seen a game do these things, let alone a mobile game. I'm not sure why you see the need to be so cynical about it like "NUH UH ITS TOTALLY LIKE NOT THE BEST THING BRO QUIT BEING A PLEB". It's having a good effect on people and having played it for 10 minutes, it's not really on my top 10 list but that's ok. I'm happy for the folks who are enjoying this.
I never intended to say it was a revolution, however, it's the biggest mobile game in US history, passing Candy Crush. It's got more daily active users than Twitter. The game is valued in the 10s of billions. Maybe I should say revolution.
