I didn't see this posted anywhere and thought it might be of interest to those who've actually used it... Pokemom Go Maker: Coding error gave company access to your emails
I downloaded this app Thursday night at midnight and was walking around my street trying to catch some pokemon. My wife yells at me "Your 30 years old and your playing pokemon!" to which I replied "gotta catch them all" and kept walking.
I grew up with the show and the gameboy game when they were the biggest things around for my age group. Also played the card game for a little bit of time. Its been a lot more fun for me to show it to my daughter who is turning 5 in a few days. She loves going on walks with me, lots of hour long walks because she wants to try and catch more, and i'v even shown her the show because its on Netflix and she loves it. My wife on the other hand is wondering how she ever married such a giant nerd.
Seems like a cool idea, I was never into the Pokemon stuff though. Nintendo stock gained like 8 billion dollars in a week, pretty amazing.

I assume, then, Nintendo gets a cut--but what's the monetizing aspect of Pokemon Go? Microtransactions? Do you buy the balls used to capture pokemons?
