Pokemon Go - Windows Phone

Anonymous · ‎21-07-2016

Back in 2000 or so I have a Game Boy and an N64 and a big shiny Pokemon Stadium cartridge (it was grey plastic not really shiny but its my memory so there). Anyway I was hoping to relive those days and be a Pokemon master and walk around shout Charizard I choose you...

But my loyal 950 let me down and I wanted to know what the big deal is. From what I can tell the big deal is maps, Pokemon Go is built around Google Maps and as my Rightmove app often shows Google maps and WP just do not play nice.

So what can be done, well the simplest it seems is to rebuild it with Microsoft maps but apparently this requires the maps to be populated with gyms and Pokestops and suchlike.

Alternatively a port of the IOS app is viable as the bridge to port the app already exsists, but I am short on dates and currently wondering if I will ever get some good Bulbasaur action ever again

Aye, took out an iPad and caught an Eevee and some Rattata, but the iPad is about four years old, locked up everytime I caught something so I got a bit miffed with it. That said it gave me the bug so I am continually awaiting announcements from Ninitec, but all we have is a statement from Microsoft saying they are working on it
