The Pokemon Go Plus sounds pretty similar to the Pokewalker in that they're both accessories for Pokemon games that interact with real life. Anyone seeing any mention of this in an RS? Supernerd11 Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 01:10, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

The article says the game was released today (the 6th) in Australia, America, and Europe. The game was only released in Australia on the 6th. The release date for the US and EU are to be announced. The release in Australia was a silent release, too, and it was not released in Japan, suggesting it wasn't supposed to go live quite yet. Me, Hurray! ( talk) 13:59, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
The introductory portion says the game was released worldwide in July 2016. As of 15 July, it is still no available everywhere, e.g., not in Sweden, neither on iOS nor Android. NiVeMa ( talk) 07:20, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
the Pokemon go page on the official Pokemon website reports the release date of Pokemon go as 2016 [1] there is a bit of misinformation floating around because of the (possibly accidental) release in NZ

Requesting that "The game was officially released in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan on July 6, 2016." have "and Japan" removed from the Development section, as well as from the Release Date section. The game has yet to be released in Japan. As can be seen on the official website [1]. For those unable to understand Japanese, the site states "配信開始日:2016年予定" which translates to "Release Date: 2016 [expectation]." Relying on English-centered news articles such as Eurogamer's US news editor for this information seems a bit foolish, considering the country we are looking at.

Is there any reason why PGO Plus is mentioned in the first paragraph? The first paragraph is to summarize the main idea. PGO Plus is talked about twice in the article, and I don't see a need/being noteworthy to mention it in the first paragraph.

The Go Plus is designed to allow a more "heads-up" gaming experience than Ingress. The player can be alerted to a nearby Pokémon by the Go Plus vibrating, press its button in a coded sequence to capture the Pokémon and check the app later to find out what they've captured. [1]

It’s a nice way to take a step in the mobile ecosystem for them. That came out of two influences. One was a learning from Ingress. We wanted to give people a way to play the game where you didn’t necessarily have to take your phone out and interact with the UX. Part of the idea of the game is, you’re outside and you can see beautiful things. If you’re always staring at your phone, you’re not seeing the world around you.
We had brainstormed this idea. Why not have a little device that buzzes when you’re near something important? You can interact with it in some subtle way, and then later on you can open up your app or your tablet and you see, “Oh, I got this or did that.” That was one of the influences.
The other was, imagine that a parent is playing with a kid and they want to give the kid a device to interact with rather than handing over the phone. I’m often handing my phone to my kid, because he’s bored or whatever. But the idea is you can give them the Pokémon Go Plus device. It vibrates and flashes when you’re near Pokémon. When they press a button in a certain sequence they capture it. Then, later on, you can look at it together on your phone or tablet.
That quote supports the assertion that the Go Plus was made to create a more heads-up gaming experience than Ingress, and it supports the description of how the Go Plus will work. I hope this helps. -- 211.30.17.74 ( talk) 00:23, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Change the reference to choosing an avatar's 'gender' to choosing an avatar's 'style'. This is the term used in the game and is likely a deliberate decision to allow players to choose a masculine or feminine looking avatar regardless of the player's/avatar's gender.

Revise the paragraph describing the origin of the game to include following facts.
The idea for the game was a proposal created by Niantic and pitched to The Pokemon Company (including TPC CEO Mr. Ishihara) by members of the Ingress development team, drawing heavily on game design elements, data, and technology from that project. Mr. Nomura was later invited to join that team and served as the Product Manager.

Sources for this quote are documented/cited.
/info/en/?search=Keyhole,_Inc "Key people John Hanke, CEO" and ", additional capital came from an NVIDIA bundling deal, from the CIA's venture capital arm In-Q-Tel,[1] with the majority of In-Q-Tel' funds coming from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency," Sources for this quote are documented/cited.

These are all wiki entries with each point documented and referenced. This is the basis for the current controversy over the potential CIA ties to the Pokemon Go application/game. The CIA is documented, on wiki and cited appropriately, as selling shares of Keyhole to Google, John Hanke left and started Niantic. A quick search of "pokemon go cia" on facebook will populate with thousands and thousands of posts discussing the connection a quick Google search for 'pokemon go cia' brings up several results in the 'news' category as well as 'About 6,290,000 results (0.78 seconds)'.

John Hanke is an entrepreneur. He currently runs Niantic Labs, a company which explores experimental mobile, social, and local applications such as Ingress and 'Pokémon Go'.

Regarding this edit. I stand by the opinion that it's totally off topic. Wikilink to mental health and exercise and let interested readers look at the main article.
"being outside, exercise and highly focused, goal-oriented activities have all been shown to help reduce some of the symptoms associated with anxiety and depression as well as other mental illnesses. I think that this feedback holds promise for other game makers to take note about possible benefits of their games."

In China, Google services are banned by the Great Firewall.

Pokemon Go never had access to drive/gmail/calendar/etc; was a display bug. The quote is taken out of context too.
We recently discovered that the Pokémon GO account creation process on iOS erroneously requests full access permission for the user’s Google account. However, Pokémon GO only accesses basic Google profile information (specifically, your User ID and email address) and no other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected. Once we became aware of this error, we began working on a client-side fix to request permission for only basic Google profile information, in line with the data that we actually access. Google has verified that no other information has been received or accessed by Pokémon GO or Niantic. Google will soon reduce Pokémon GO’s permission to only the basic profile data that Pokémon GO needs, and users do not need to take any actions themselves.

Hello,

Per Google Play Store (Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticlabs.pokemongo&hl=en) where it says: "Offered by Niantic, Inc." and iTunes App Store (Link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pokemon-go/id1094591345?mt=8) where it says "Seller: Niantic, Inc. it seems like the Publisher should be Niantic. Can you please make this correction and link the Niantic, Inc. Wikipedia page (Link: /info/en/?search=Niantic,_Inc.)?
Just wanted to ensure the proper company got the publisher credit. :)
Thanks!

The article says the game was released today (the 6th) in Australia, America, and Europe. The game was only released in Australia on the 6th. The release date for the US and EU are to be announced.

Requesting that "The game was officially released in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan on July 6, 2016." have "and Japan" removed from the Development section, as well as from the Release Date section. The game has yet to be released in Japan. As can be seen on the official website [1]. For those unable to understand Japanese, the site states "配信開始日:2016年予定" which translates to "Release Date: 2016 [expectation]." Relying on English-centered news articles such as Eurogamer's US news editor for this information seems a bit foolish, considering the country we are looking at.

The Go Plus is designed to allow a more "heads-up" gaming experience than Ingress. The player can be alerted to a nearby Pokémon by the Go Plus vibrating, press its button in a coded sequence to capture the Pokémon and check the app later to find out what they've captured. [1]

It’s a nice way to take a step in the mobile ecosystem for them. That came out of two influences. One was a learning from Ingress. We wanted to give people a way to play the game where you didn’t necessarily have to take your phone out and interact with the UX. Part of the idea of the game is, you’re outside and you can see beautiful things. If you’re always staring at your phone, you’re not seeing the world around you.
We had brainstormed this idea. Why not have a little device that buzzes when you’re near something important? You can interact with it in some subtle way, and then later on you can open up your app or your tablet and you see, “Oh, I got this or did that.” That was one of the influences.
The other was, imagine that a parent is playing with a kid and they want to give the kid a device to interact with rather than handing over the phone. I’m often handing my phone to my kid, because he’s bored or whatever. But the idea is you can give them the Pokémon Go Plus device. It vibrates and flashes when you’re near Pokémon. When they press a button in a certain sequence they capture it. Then, later on, you can look at it together on your phone or tablet.
That quote supports the assertion that the Go Plus was made to create a more heads-up gaming experience than Ingress, and it supports the description of how the Go Plus will work. I hope this helps. -- 211.30.17.74 ( talk) 00:23, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Change the reference to choosing an avatar's 'gender' to choosing an avatar's 'style'. This is the term used in the game and is likely a deliberate decision to allow players to choose a masculine or feminine looking avatar regardless of the player's/avatar's gender.

Revise the paragraph describing the origin of the game to include following facts.
The idea for the game was a proposal created by Niantic and pitched to The Pokemon Company (including TPC CEO Mr. Ishihara) by members of the Ingress development team, drawing heavily on game design elements, data, and technology from that project. Mr. Nomura was later invited to join that team and served as the Product Manager.

These are all wiki entries with each point documented and referenced. This is the basis for the current controversy over the potential CIA ties to the Pokemon Go application/game. The CIA is documented, on wiki and cited appropriately, as selling shares of Keyhole to Google, John Hanke left and started Niantic.

Regarding this edit. I stand by the opinion that it's totally off topic. Wikilink to mental health and exercise and let interested readers look at the main article.
"being outside, exercise and highly focused, goal-oriented activities have all been shown to help reduce some of the symptoms associated with anxiety and depression as well as other mental illnesses. I think that this feedback holds promise for other game makers to take note about possible benefits of their games."

Pokemon Go never had access to drive/gmail/calendar/etc; was a display bug. The quote is taken out of context too.
We recently discovered that the Pokémon GO account creation process on iOS erroneously requests full access permission for the user’s Google account. However, Pokémon GO only accesses basic Google profile information (specifically, your User ID and email address) and no other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected. Once we became aware of this error, we began working on a client-side fix to request permission for only basic Google profile information, in line with the data that we actually access. Google has verified that no other information has been received or accessed by Pokémon GO or Niantic. Google will soon reduce Pokémon GO’s permission to only the basic profile data that Pokémon GO needs, and users do not need to take any actions themselves.

Hello,
I just noticed an inaccuracy. The publisher of Pokémon GO is inaccurately stated as "The Pokémon Company". Per Google Play Store (Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticlabs.pokemongo&hl=en) where it says: "Offered by Niantic, Inc." and iTunes App Store (Link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pokemon-go/id1094591345?mt=8) where it says "Seller: Niantic, Inc. it seems like the Publisher should be Niantic. Can you please make this correction and link the Niantic, Inc. Wikipedia page (Link: /info/en/?search=Niantic,_Inc.)?
Just wanted to ensure the proper company got the publisher credit. :)
Thanks!

What is the function of these locations? The article mentions them but does not explain what they are or why they are needed in the game. 67.186.224.245 ( talk) 11:58, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
Why have we changed the previous color pic if the pub sign on the street to a black and white one? This isn't Instagram. We shouldn't prefer b/w or (heaven forbid) sepia images over color because we think they look cool. TimothyJosephWood 13:20, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
