[DISCUSSION] The REALLY ANNOYING THING about POKéMON GO

[DanielJames]

You're always going to have people who follow what's currently popular, and it's no different with Pokémon GO. The trend followers will eventually move on to something else and the true fans will stick around. Try to look at it positively. If even 20% of those new people buy Sun and Moon, then that's great for Pokémon all around. For a franchise that's been around for 20 years, staying relevant is important. Pokémon GO has launched the franchise into unprecedented levels of success, and that's huge! As others have said on here, don't put down the newcomers. Encourage them to check out the games, watch the anime, play the card game, etc.
