Is Pokemon just going to act as a thinly veiled privacy invasion tool?
Pokemon Go encourages you to share your location at all times. Now they want to know when you're sleeping.
Next app: Pokemon Budget! Upload your invoices to track spending habits and catch rare Pokemon for saving money!
Saving?
I think you mean spending on obscenely high margin stuff.
This weeks special! Catch a Mewtwo by purchasing any two tabacco products or a combined total of one litre of products containing high-fructose corn syrup!
Yeah. In retrospect, I think I was wrong. It would be "save $500 to unlock" on categories where the "50% off" version is still a 200% markup.
I don't totally understand the reasoning behind Pokemon Sleep needing to be a thing, but Pokemon Go's entire core premise requires knowing your location in order for the gameplay to even work at all, so I could understand having an issue with wanting to share your location, but damn, that's pretty much the one case where that'd be understandable.
... dammit, I'd use this.
