Since its release in 2016, Pokemon GO has taken the Pokemon community by storm. An Augmented Reality (AR) game for mobile devices, requires players to travel to real-world locations to discover and capture Pokémon. Additionally, players can train and evolve these Pokémon. Since its launch, “Pokémon Go” has accumulated over 632 million downloads and over $5 billion in revenue.
While the mobile game may not be as popular as it was after its release, many players are still obsessed with catching more Pokémon in 2022. In addition, Niantic is constantly releasing new updates and events for the game to keep more people interested in the game. Pokémon GO now includes around 700 Pokémon to collect, a big improvement from the original 150 in 2016.
Recently, a player proved that the mobile game is still addicting. In a post on Reddit, a user named lightguard23 found his iPhone burning after hours of playing Pokémon GO. This is evident in one of the images he posted. Despite the app being minimized, several icons in the game HUD are still visible.
Am I playing too much? lightguard23 asked self-deprecatingly. It didn’t take long for many members of the Pokémon GO community on Reddit to give their answers to lightguard23’s question. The post got more than 5,700 votes in one day, and most people think it’s something they like to do, and they should continue to play the game even if the phone burns.
It seems that this old man has really played for a long time. After all, the burn-in phenomenon on OLED devices has been well controlled. It is worth referring to the latest OLED version of the Switch. According to the test of the YouTube channel WULFF DEN, the burn-in phenomenon on the OLED version of the Switch requires more than 3000 hours of continuous playback.
