The Official Twitter tweeted that Pokemon Go is released in UK — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.81.30.16 (talk) 08:48, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Because of this and the release in Germany a day ago, should we just go with July 13, 2016, as the EU release in the infobox? The vgrelease documentation says that UK dates in the infobox "should only be used if a release is exclusive to that country or there is a large difference in the release date. In most cases use first EU date instead of UK.", which just happened here. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 10:33, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'd assume so, yes. Anarchyte (work | talk) 10:42, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think that works fine, yeah. Additionally, a {{refn}} could be used to explain the staggered release despite the infobox showing the date for the earliest one. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 10:46, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:12, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As another option, we could use the software infobox, as this isn't really a traditional game. It would solve the issue of the release date, and have other relevant info that the video game one doesn't, such as support for languages and the release version. I added an example on the right, thoughts? Just adding this in case the current way remains controversial (it was at first). ~ Dissident93 (talk) 11:16, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) We can collapse the release dates, if that's what you wanted to achieve. IMO the note does enough. To collapse it, use:

{{Collapsible list

| title = {{Video game release||July 6, 2016}}

| titlestyle = font-weight:normal;background:transparent;text-align:left;

| {{vgrelease new|AUS|July 6, 2016|US|July 6, 2016|EU|July 13, 2016|JP|July 2016|CAN|July 2016}}

}}

Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:28, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's possible too. We would still have to add Canada and Japan (we normally wouldn't add Japan for non-Japansed developed games. However, for such a globally popular game, and one that has its origins in Japan, we should make an exception). So when it's finally released worldwide, that's five different regions represented. I edited your example to show what it would look like when complete. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 11:50, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Plus the note, that'll need to be included somewhere. {{refn|group=note|name=EU Release|''Pokémon Go'' was released at different dates in [[Europe]]. It was first released in Germany on July 13, 2016 and then in the United Kingdom on July 14.}} Anarchyte (work | talk) 12:20, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
With the staggered roll out playing havoc with typical infobox convention here, might I suggest we list the earliest date only, and include a jump link to the release section, where we can put a more verbose table of regions and dates. -- ferret (talk) 20:15, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, we should be using the collapsible list template now. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 23:51, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page views

Are you surprised, given how many people are playing the game? It's huge. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:55, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Which still kind of proves the point in that there was very little hype before the game was released (compare this instead to Overwatch), but exploded in popularity once it did last week. To go from 5 views a day to 800,000 in pretty much a month might be something Wikipedia has never seen, or least, very rarely. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 03:11, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the last 6 months for Overwatch (video game) for comparison. -- Anarchyte (work | talk) 06:33, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As of 14 July, players can now submit new locations for inclusion in Pokemon GO.[1]

GA in a couple months?

When the article dies down in popularity and edit rate, this wouldn't be too hard to get up to GA. The references are there, all that needs to be done is write it out. I'd be willing to say it's almost there now, but it'd probably fail due to it being released last week and the article isn't stable. Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:58, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Any word on if it will become unprotected before then? :) --211.30.17.74 (talk) 00:36, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The current semi-protection expires on July 28. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 00:38, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the heads-up. --211.30.17.74 (talk) 00:47, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the article right now will become unprotected in about two weeks, but yesterday when the last protection expired, there was tons of immediate vandalism and it was reprotected. You should consider registering an account and getting more acquainted with WP generally if you are interested in editing these kinds of articles. TimothyJosephWood 00:39, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
'These kinds of articles'... do you mean popular articles? video game articles? Is there any chance that pending changes might be trialled at some point rather than semi-protection? I have considered registering an account, but I don't want to make that level of commitment at this time. --211.30.17.74 (talk) 00:47, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There's no real commitment in making an account fwiw. All that's required is an email address (it can be a throwaway one for all we know). You actually have more security with one than without since then no one can readily see IP and trace it. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 00:49, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I meant popular ones. They are more likely to need protection due to their popularity. Also, as Cyclone said above, an account can be more secure. Right now I can see your IP and can almost certainly tell in about 30 seconds where you are and what organization owns your address if it's static. TimothyJosephWood 00:51, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, I take that back. Geolocate must be wrong. Not a single thing you've typed has been upside down. TimothyJosephWood 00:53, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)'These kinds of articles' likely refers to popular video game articles. Many video games articles eventually end up with year+ long or even indefinite protection due to reoccurring vandalism. The more popular or visible the game in culture, the more likelihood that the vandalism never quite goes away. At the current level of activity the article is seeing, I believe PC would be too big of a burden for reviewers (I am a reviewer and watching, though I am not making any substantial edits), but in a few weeks it may be possible to give it a try. -- ferret (talk) 00:55, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dang, @Ferret:. Thanks for the info about the protection situation. I hope that pending changes will be trialled in the future. --211.30.17.74 (talk) 01:08, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You could always ask on WP:RFPP to see if it'll get lowered. It probably won't happen but it could be worth a shot. If not, you can always use the {{edit semi protected}} template. Anarchyte (work | talk) 01:46, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, maybe when the current batch of protection is up I'll try that. I have been making requests on the talk page, but some of the stuff I want to do is a bit fiddly to describe - like consolidating the Dean Takahashi VentureBeat article's references into an a,b,c format. --211.30.17.74 (talk) 02:03, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The depth of scholarship and the potential for scholarship is something to consider before considering Pokemon GO as a special page. I expect that there will be scholarly, peer-reviewed articles and book chapters about Pokemon GO. There has been for Ingress, and also for Zombies, Run! (a 2012 exergame). Would a rush to GA for Pokemon GO mean that potential scholarly sources are 'crowded out', or not integrated as well, down the track? --211.30.17.74 (talk) 06:03, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pokemon Go Plus

It seems like the Pokemon Go Plus doesn't fit under development, though I also don't think there's enough information on it to pull it out as its own article... thoughts? Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 16:03, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it to the gameplay section since it's more integrated with that aspect of the game. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 18:10, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ishihara and wife were Ingress players

Please add the following in the development section:

According to Hanke, the partnership with Ingress was "largely driven by" Ishihara and the Pokemon Company. Ishihara and his wife played Ingress, seeing it as a "perfect match" for Pokemon.[1]

City Spirit Go - Chinese clone

Please add information about City Spirit Go, a Chinese clone of Pokemon Go, to the article.

In China, Google services are banned by the Great Firewall. Players of Pokemon GO in China have bought IDs for the Australian Apple Store, used a virtual private network to use Google services, and used a GPS spoofer because there are no Pokemon to catch in China. A clone app called "City Spirit Go" is available in China, and was released shortly after Pokemon GO's beta test in Japan.[1]

I think this article would be greatly enhanced by a photo of a business using Pokemon GO tie-ins as advertising. this is the only free example I've seen thus far, though and it doesn't seem like the clearest example.

technical issues

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.

Al Azhar

The current source for the prohibition by Al Azhar University is from a very small Croatian news website (only 4,000 Facebook likes) being told by "an official".

I see only very few other sources carrying this story, one of which is a British tabloid, and I'm surprised that the other British tabloids who love to paint Islam as a puritan "other" aren't reporting it. This source mentions that state government are denying any statement by Al Azhar, and it is in fact the government researching the security of the software.

Pokémon Go is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game developed and published by Niantic[1]. It was released in July 2016 for iOS and Android devices.

The infobox and first sentence of the article incorrectly lists the Pokemon company as the publisher. The publisher is Niantic. [2] [3] [4]

Original source, eurogamer is incorrect.

Bendthaus (talk) 03:31, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The concept for the game was conceived in 2014 by Niantic after Google and The Pokémon Company collaborated on an an April Fools' Day project called Pokémon Challenge.[5] This project lead to Tsunekazu Ishihara and John Hanke discussing the possibilty of a new game.[6] Ishihara had been a fan of developer Niantic's previous augmented reality game, Ingress, and saw the game's concept as a perfect match for the Pokémon series.[7] Niantic used data from Ingress to populate the locations for PokéStops and gyms within Pokémon Go.[8]

The Development section states that the game was conceived by Iwata and Ishihara which isn't true. The design came from Niantic and obviously drew heavily from ingress. Credit for conception of this game was likely interpreted incorrectly from the original source.

Add source to claim

The source that is next to the text "The concept for the game was conceived in 2014 by Satoru Iwata of Nintendo and Tsunekazu Ishihara of The Pokémon Company as an April Fools' Day collaboration with Google, called Pokémon Challenge." does not support the claim made in the article. The CNET article given only confirms the existence of Pokemon Challenge, not the connection with Pokemon GO.

Please add this official video as a source to that claim instead, and change the year to 2013. The exact part where they talk about Pokemon Challenge inspiring Pokemon Go is around the 3:30 minute mark. Thank you. --211.30.17.74 (talk) 06:40, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The video was uploaded in 2014 though, meaning the Nintendo E3 video is mistaken. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 08:24, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps it's due to the planning for the Pokemon Challenge prank spanning from some point in 2013 to April 2014? The CNET source does not support the assertion currently in the article. --211.30.17.74 (talk) 08:39, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niantic,_Inc.)?

Just wanted to ensure the proper company got the publisher credit. :)

Thanks!

Purpose of PokéStops and Pokémon gyms?

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)[reply]
