"I'm reminded of how poorly designed Pkmn Go is by playing the newly launched Fire Emblem Heroes"

#PokemonGO: So why make the comparison? Because they're both top tier Nintendo IPs capable of making big $ games. The difference being that Niantic either seems to not really care and also really doesn't seem to have capable game designers.First off the bat with Fire Emblem being launched I notice a few common sense things that will give it longevity in the mobile market and a more satisfying/deep level of play.A story mode. Fire Emblem Heroes has a story mode with several difficulty levels. You're constantly given rewards for progressing through this story mode.Special maps that change everyday. A special map pops up everyday that allows you to unlock a new character by beating them. Yes I said everyday.You also are rewarded for logging in. This is one thing Niantic did get right!Depth and strategy. There is a strategic depth in Fire Emblem Heroes that allows for more tactical battles, and makes it pretty fun and challenging at times more so than just button mashing to victory.There is also an event going on right now, and as soon as that event is done, I'm sure there will be a brand new one to directly replace it. This is the biggest thing Pokemon Go has messed up on. They make an event like what every 2-3 months? That's not how you keep a mobile game alive.You can tell the health/popularity of the game by looking at its youtube stats. Right now Pokemon Go keeps trending lower and lower in the youtube community, to the point where it will be impossible to make anymore popular pokemon go videos.Because that's how many people are just dropping it and moving on. Even most people on this forum don't even play anymore, they just come here hoping to hear about a new update. I've just never seen such bad game designers as Niantic. There is so much they can do, but yet they do so little. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2lklKpo
