Someone pitched this idea as a joke and the japs didn't realize it was a joke. It's the only explanation

Pokémon GO used to be just an April Fools' joke as well.

I figured it would be a moderately successful gimmick that would sell well for a few weeks or maybe months and then disappear.

But it seems to a complete failure from the get go. Almost all the reviews I've seen have been extremely negative, even by outlets that are usually very pro-Nintendo.

The kits are too expensive, too difficult to put together, too easy to break, and the games they are designed to support are shallow to downright terrible.

You know, if this sells like hotcakes Nintendo can just pay a Japanese man to crap in a box and sell that. Nintendophles will buy that up.
