And I forgot to add this: I will add 10 euro to the price of Go Plus and buy Sun/Moon instead of this

Oh, and here's the Box art for Go Plus

Well, at least the box is really cool! xD

And, yes, I think your idea of invest 10 more dollars and buy Sun or Moon is really great.

Niantic CEO Says The Goal Of Pokémon GO Isn’t To “Catch Them All”

We’re trying to make the game accessible to a person who doesn’t yet know how much they want to commit to the game, who just wants to explore. That includes not just the Pokémon newbie, but those on the opposite side — a diehard who’s played all of the RPGs but isn’t sure if an augmented reality game that requires them to get up off the couch is really their speed. At the same time, we think that there’s an opportunity to build depth. There’s an emergent complexity that doesn’t hit you over the head at first blush, [from] trying to power up your Pokémon and evolve and ultimately start competing for gyms.

It could be that you’re out walking in the park with friends and meeting friends somewhere, and may not want to interrupt the conversation and break the social dynamic that’s going on [to check Pokémon Go]. With a few clicks of the button, you can harvest items and catch Pokémon and continue to build up progress in the game. In all of those scenarios, it would be really awesome to have a device not to completely replace interacting with the phone, but supplement it.

Niantic CEO Says The Goal Of Pokémon GO Isn’t To “Catch Them All”

It doesn't look good, 'cause I thought that the concept of "Catch Them All" totally fits in a game which aim to be focused in exploration.

But it is not time to disbelief. It can be a great game anyway, maybe they have had a great idea for Pokémon, but I just don't understand it yet. I can't wait to play it and find it out.

I'm slowly starting to lose all hopes for this... No trading at release, no training, no events... no "catch them all".... I hope that playing the game I will change my idea but for now... I really don't know what to say...

 

[Deoxys]

I'm curious to see if it's going to be a big flop or a success...

For those of you in Australia and Japan, Pokémon GO is now available free to download from the iOS and Google Play Stores for free. Currently, no release has happened in America or Europe but it is unlikely that it will be too long. Our coverage of this game shall begin shortly so keep checking back.
As expected, there are microtransactions where you can buy coins with real money.
100 PokéMoney = 120¥
550 PokéMoney = 600¥
1200 PokéMoney = 1200¥
2500 PokéMoney = 2400 ¥
5200 PokéMoney = 4800¥
14500 PokéMoney = 11800¥

Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Pikachu, and many other Pokémon have been discovered on planet Earth!
Now’s your chance to discover and capture the Pokémon all around you—so get your shoes on, step outside, and explore the world. You’ll join one of three teams and battle for the prestige and ownership of Gyms with your Pokémon at your side.

Pokémon are out there, and you need to find them. As you walk around a neighborhood, your smartphone will vibrate when there’s a Pokémon nearby. Take aim and throw a Poké Ball… You’ll have to stay alert, or it might get away!

Search far and wide for Pokémon and items
Certain Pokémon appear near their native environment—look for Water-type Pokémon by lakes and oceans. Visit PokéStops, found at interesting places like museums, art installations, historical markers, and monuments, to stock up on Poké Balls and helpful items.

Catching, hatching, evolving, and more
As you level up, you’ll be able to catch more-powerful Pokémon to complete your Pokédex. You can add to your collection by hatching Pokémon Eggs based on the distances you walk. Help your Pokémon evolve by catching many of the same kind.

Take on Gym battles and defend your Gym
As your Charmander evolves to Charmeleon and then Charizard, you can battle together to defeat a Gym and assign your Pokémon to defend it against all comers.

It’s time to get moving—your real-life adventures await!

Note: This app is free-to-play and is optimized for smartphones, not tablets.

So... in a few of days they will release it worldwide?

I'm not really confident about that, since they haven't made any tests over Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

But they ended all beat testing and already told that here in July they will release the game...

Yeah, but I still thinking they should test it with low quality internet connections before release it.

 

[Pokemon Trainer]

I agree but at the same time, they should WAIT and add the trading, training and events instead of waiting sometime after the release to add all of this

Well, according to a boy on Twitter, Pokémon Go was already released in Europe!

Instead of this game, I want a Pokémon RPG with the Oculus rift (and open world or anyway, with towns and gyms/league)

Maybe next handheld console will be a kind of oculus rift.
After the 3d there is only virtual reality

That's what I hope that the NX will have and Game Freak will finally use (because for now the main games are only for the portable consoles)
