Pokemon GO and Bitcoin would be a killer combo

[Cryptonitex]

I don't see how this could happen.

1. Who spends the BTC, that are distributed?
2. The problem is, that the location is fakeable. There were already some altcoins that tried location based mining.

I am agree with you, pokemon go is really popular and i know that many people donate a lot of money in this game, if nintendo would add bitcoin as payment system, they can earn much more money.

Pokemon Go would potentially have some additional funds generated by accepting Bitcoin, but to be honest the player count is going to drop off pretty rapidly due to the lack of end-game content. I personally stopped playing because I'm not a completionist, and holding gyms is a worthless waste of time because they can be solo'd by someone else and building it up takes a long series of training the gym.

It honestly isn't fun, and if it had something to do with my Pokemon other than power, evolve and take gyms for 10 minutes, I might be more interested. Sadly that doesn't exist so far. True Player v Player battles will also likely never happen, or at least not for a long time, due to the lack of localization and a majority of things being client-side so far. Their games revolves around the Google Maps API and AI in gyms, and battles with other people looks a long ways away.

It's a fun game, don't get me wrong, but there just isn't enough to do at a point.

Of course, active development and marketing would be needed.
Great results could be reflected in the price.

It would be great opportunity for millions of people to even heard anything about bitcoin. But does it have any advantages comparing to e.g. Google Play payments, which are simple as a click (after you verify your card)?

For me, all of that just like a dream...
It's possible to make a way of payment like google payment... but isn't a click you always need to put your amount or writing that. because basically the system is different and try to use it for one concept.

I imagine that You can earn bitcoin while playing pokemon go maybe i will be a pokemon master hahaha just a thought

Ahaha, that's the most ridiculous way. Bitcoin can be obtained because it will not only play pokemon for pokemon don't accept bitcoin for various things about the game. You can only get bitcoin of pokemon, if you sell your Pokemon account or provide services to users of the bitcoin

[rekinthis]

Yea it would be pretty sick to have bitcoin incorporated into PokemonGo but idk how they would make it work :/

it is definitely not going to happen at least not any time soon and most probably not in this game, bitcoin is still not a huge thing so they wont pay a lot of attention to it

[praprata]

It would be a killer combo but that is because of the fact that Pokemon Go would be involved and not Bitcoin.
Pokemon Go is allot more popular then Bitcoin ever going to be but that is just what I think.

[drwtsn32]

I think instead that t would be a combo to kill Pokemon GO.
They must resolve the issue with VPNs first. Before they can actually consider bitcoin to be integrated.

[Wandering Soul~]

That would be great but I don't really see a reason why would niantic would do that cause pokemon go is already popular and there are tons of stuffs to improve and add to make it more popular

[puremage111]

as we alrdy have bpok, xpoke, pokechain and lots of pokemon go coins, but the problem is, we have no idea how long can the pokemon trend goes :/

[oceanriver]

for sure it would be cool but to be honest it wouldnt affect me as i actually dont play that game, besides that, i think that it would help bitcoin

Well I played around with a Chicken faucet last night, where you walk around in a 3D world and you pick up coins,  it was very basic but fun to do. I can just imagine porting this idea into Google maps and walking around in the real world, picking up Satoshi's.

Who leaves a Penny, if you see it laying there on the ground?

Just now checked the faucet. Chicken offers: 50 (75%), 100 (24%), 500 (1%) Satoshis for every dispense you claim. Average is currently ~67 Satoshis. Claim a new dispense every 120 minutes!

Around 67 Satoshis every 120 minutes??? Sounds like a joke to me.

That would be a not so good idea because if you can earn bitcoin like that then the bitcoin value will drop as players could just grind out alot of them. So many people play pokemongo that bitcoin would be overflowed and be worthless.

[Tanic]

Am I the one whe never tried to play this game? haha But I think it would be really a good combo if the game would be with payment by bitcoins. Not just Pockemon Go, any popular game would be. I even heard there is the Snake game with bitcoins.

[severaldetails]

I think for pokemon it is too late.
The hype about it is already going down, but I am sure another game is already being programmed that will fill that gap.
All it would take is one bigger company to implement bitcoin as a payment system.
Maybe even with the option to trade goods amongst the users (with a little fee for the company, of course).
That would be something a lot of people could not resist, even if the game itself would not be something they usually do not play.

[coynedterm]

I have been testing it out and it's still very stages but you can tell the game has huge potential if they add more stuff, like more complex battle system with turns instead of just tapping on the screen which is pretty dumb and so on.

But the great thing would be to get BTC instead of those coins. Also being able to buy stuff with BTC (you can already do with fiat but not BTC).

I hope that we can see BTC in games like this. Imagine the extra incentive of getting BTC and not only Pokemons.

Yes right thought, we have another scope in bitcoin world. During leisure we could play game parallely we could make some money for us. That's a good sorry best COMBO . I hope more interesting and thia type of game to be launched next. So that playing game would not be only for time pass but for earning money.
