PokemonGO is wildly popular. I'd be surprised if anyone here hasn't heard of it, and I'm sure many of us play it. Niantic (the company that made the game) seems to be planning on adding trading to the game in the near future. Once players start trading Pokemon, they will need a currency to value Pokemon with. We need a PokemonGOCoin. POGOC is a shitcoin I would buy in to.

I am pretty sure The Pokemon Company and Nintendo have the ability to block any usage of their trademarks, especially when they even use it on birthday parties. Where is this Niantix you speak of? Is it some China ripoff of Pokemon Go? In other news, I have to say Niantic made the right move after Ingress. What makes you think that they wouldn't simply use fiat for trading purposes, they rake in so much IAPs every second that using cryptos might even lower the profits from less savvy rich guys.

A few things:

1. Fixed the Niantic spelling error, thanks.

2. People infringe copyright and trademarks all the time when making shitcoins (See: Trumpcoin, Shrekcoin, and countless others).

3. Nobody will actually use the coin but shitcoins that have a hypothetical purpose tend to have higher values.

Honestly I just want to trade a Pokemon coin but I don't know how to make one myself.

The dev that will launch one could go in trouble because this is will be copyright infringement,the dev should first ask the copyright owner for a permission to use the name if they are indeed going to use the word Pokemeon

Dude this is shitcoin economy we are talking about. It's like Wolf of Wallstreet penny stocks with even less regulations. Nobody is going to care that they could get in to trouble for an altcoin they publish anonymously. Furthermore, I doubt this coin would get big enough for Nintendo to find out.

blockchain pokemon. You collect and trade colored coins of varying degrees of rarity until you catch 'em all. The coins show up in the wallet as the different pokemon. When you stake them enough they evolve. Now that I would buy.

While I think any iteration of this is an absolutely horrible idea from a practical place, the inside part of me knows this would probably be very popular. If TrumpCoin can exist, hell, the system has been broken  Grin

Would work best with tokens that represent individual creatures. Blockchain should only be there for trading records. Creatures should probably be in the block rewards. Leave all that gym and pokeball nonsense with the app.

Community, promise me we won't do this. Please.

We don't. It's a game. I doubt a lot of people will be intereste in a pokemon go coin if it cant even be use directly on the app. It's already enough that the game itself have poke coins which can be bought in app. It will just be another shitcoin.

I would not be in favour of yet another appcoin, which is what this sounds like. The article below brilliantly explains why they make little sense

I think we have enough shitcoins already without adding another one. I could still see someone at some point adding this though, not that it will do anything different from any other shitcoin it will just have the fancy name. I dont know if nintendo or anyone could even shuit it down either since it would be decentralised. Im not sure who they could send a court order to.

So many shitcoin only fancy names with no unique features and usage I will not surprise with pokemongo's popularity some is already setting up one for a pump and dump game I think there will always be a market for this

TrumpCoin
42coin
Potcoin
Bitcoin
And the beat goes on and on and on and on and.

Edit: why did Trump not respond to Trump.coin? Kanye did, they had to cease and desist. Seems like Trp would be on his shit more, but they dopay people atlabel s to stay on top of stuff like this.

Well asking for things like that someone is going to make a pokemon coin with no real use , most pokemon fans will fall in to that and end up with a bag of coins! iv seen it you ve seen it we all have seen it happens again and again.. if Niantic wants they can add bitcoin payments

If that coin came into existence then it will get a bigger fame and with get success within no time, but Only the company of pokemongo can create a coin with the name pokemongo, no other person or company can copy their name, but they can create another game like that and for tat they can create a coin.

Every month a lot of coins come into existence and I am sure after your this post some one will create his/her coin with the name PokemonGOCoin, but I don't know that it will get a success like the game or not.

This. There doesn't need to be a Pokemon Go coin there just needs to be something like Pokemon go that is backed by crypto. I am not sure about geocoin but it has a geocaching thing going on.

I love Bitcoin

And while we are at it, lets do a Kanye vs Taylor coin as well. Cheesy

Isn't LazOO something liket hat, a crypto that reward you to travel and take people with you? Granted is more Uber-like but the point is the same. Travel, burn gas efficiently.
