Pokemon GO Plus officially arrives on Friday. Like most products though, some folks have managed to get their hands on it early.

In the past, Nintendo has said that Pokemon GO doesn’t track distance walked when the app is running in the background. However, it turns out that this isn’t true. Reddit user c-a-m-i says that his egg and buddy distance increased by 1.1km with the phone locked during a test session.

We’ve often talked about how Pokemon GO has positively affected the sales of the core Pokemon games. The Wall Street Journal now provides a closer look by examining the situation in Japan.

The image above shows how Pokemon GO has boosted sales of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Red/Green/Blue/Yellow, and 3DS hardware as a whole since launch. It’s cooled off slightly as of late, but overall, it’s clear that GO made a notable impact.

Thanks to Zoner for the tip.

According to Slice Intelligence, the paying population of Pokemon GO has declined by 79% since July of 2016.

The mobile game industry is a notoriously fickle one, as it seems even the titanic Pokemon GO is losing some of its thunder. The number of in-game buyers within Pokemon GO has decreased by 79% since July 15th, and Pokemon GO is no longer more profitable than all other mobile games combined.

Specifically, it has generated around six times more revenue than the second most profitable mobile game in the month of August.
