What if someone implemented Bitcoin to the popular Pokémon Go app bringing a whole new gamified experience to the augmented world of catching creatures online backed by tokens? It’s only a matter of time until a hacker produces a tweak of this game bringing the love for Bitcoin to the world of Pokémon. For those who can’t wait for someone to implement Bitcoin into the latest Pokémon Go app, there are some other choices. There are currently two video games that involve the sport of catching Pokémon with Bitcoin added to the experience. https://news.bitcoin.com/pokemon-go-integrated-bitcoin/

Isn't that against the rules of both App Store & Google play ? I'm not sure. Even if it's not , all the services and games out there go through Google API to accept payments so It's unlikely that this is going to happen unless Google play itself add Bitcoin which also unlikely since Google didn' t show any interest in Bitcoin since it creation.

Will be interesting because this game is breaking records on first days. But how it could work? Like a faucet, finding hidden bits, or using bitcoin for in-app buyings? There are some games that are similar to faucets, and didn't have problems with applestore or googleplay rules. But with in-app buyings it could be a problem with the rules of this stores.

If Pokemon GO integrated with bitcoin, i'm sure it will affect the price of bitcoin and bitcoin become popular. Because many people playing Pokemon GO right now.

Pokemon Go is the hottest mobile game right now and I am waiting for Niantic labs to open the servers in Europe for players because it looks like a very interesting concept of a game and I haven't played their other game Ingress so it would be a completely new experience for me. As for integrating Bitcoin with the app, I don't think this would be possible at all because both Apple and Google have their own payment solutions and they won't allow Bitcoin to even touch this app market of theirs when they can be pushing their own payment apps.

yeah. I agree. if a hackers hack Pokemon Go app and implement bitcoin into the game, it will break the rule, so probably bitcoin will get negative perseption. and I think creating similar game containing bitcoin is better than hacking this Pokemon Go game.

Maybe because you are in a bitcoin forum? It's only normal to talk about and associate bitcoin with everything here in the forum. What if someone implemented Bitcoin to the popular Pokémon Go app bringing a whole new gamified experience to the augmented world of catching creatures online backed by tokens? It’s only a matter of time until a hacker produces a tweak of this game bringing the love for Bitcoin to the world of Pokémon. For those who can’t wait for someone to implement Bitcoin into the latest Pokémon Go app, there are some other choices. There are currently two video games that involve the sport of catching Pokémon with Bitcoin added to the experience. https://news.bitcoin.com/pokemon-go-integrated-bitcoin/Unfortunately that is impossible to implement it in the app. OmegaStarScream already metioned that google play and ios are not allowing bitcoin as payment. It could happen if there will be a black market outside the app where we can buy ad sell pokemon go stuff using bitcoin.

I really dont understand why Google shows no interest in Bitcoin. Google typically is ahead of the curve in a lot of tech areas and this seems right up their alley - even if not doing any coding and only accepting as a payment option. I have been playing Ingress for a few years now and when they started doing in-app purchases my first thought was Bitcoin however I doubt we will see that for quite awhile. We are moving in the right direction, nice and steady. Give it time. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

OP is just asking "What If". Well if Pokemon Go will integrate Bitcoin to their system it will be good result to Bitcoin because it will become more popular. Pokemon is also very popular game. I used to play old version of it in gameboy and i played also in my computer using emulator. Lots of pokemon player will use Bitcoin if this will happen.

That would be great thing because Pokemon Go is already so popular and it would boost the popularity of the Bitcoin for sure. So if it would be possible to have Bitcoin as an payment with in Pokemon Go it would be awesome.

Rather integration in the actual game, why make a standalone game that has also the same features as Pokemon Go like those the same features as flappy bird apps. But you know it's not that easy to make a real time GPS navigaton game in-app and most of the people in the globe will not drained their battery because their GPS is always on then finding only small satoshis around. The rewards must be high in any kind of bitcoin game application. If they will only earn a little no way it can boost the popularity of bitcoin.

I often wonder how the fuck a game like this with in app purchases of round $1 manages to deal with the fees associated with credit cards and traditional payment methods. Definitely the sort of app where the owners would benefit from being able to pool a bunch of micropayments made via cryptocurrency and then settling them in a lump transfer into fiat through an exchange.

If that happens, it will be a huge help for bitcoin to get more popularity because you can see that even though the pokemon go is not internationally released, many people are waiting and some of them are willing to use their money just to get full experienced on pokemon go and if they use bitcoin as another mode of payment, i'm sure that most of them will get curious and start to do research about bitcoin and if they understand bitcoin it will result for a great amount of adoption ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) .

This game has had an insane amount of success, I presume it is because Nintendo has paid famous youtubers to upload videos all over the place. I mean it can't be a coincidence that I see so many people doing it. And once a couple famous one does it, the rest follow as well. If you added actual money reward as well like bitcoin, it would be even bigger of a hit.
