search engines<\/a> record and report on all of the searches that take place each month. At its peak, Pok\u00e9mon Go related searches were a couple of times higher than they are now. The sudden popularity of the game for a month or two has been followed by a sharp decline in interest from people who use the search engines.<\/p>\nUser Engagement<\/h2>\n
The number of people who continue to play the game is another key factor that has to be considered before deciding whether or not Pok\u00e9mon Go is a fad that\u2019s coming to an end. User engagement is still high as the games Monthly Active Users (MAU) levels off from its high of over 50 million users in July 2016.<\/p>\n
There may not be as many people playing the game as there was when it was first released, but it has still retained a large number of players. Its current user numbers may have dropped but they are still much higher than any other similar games out there.<\/p>\n
New Features<\/h2>\n
New upgrades and features are in the pipeline and one of the biggest developments and additions to the game will be Pok\u00e9mon Go Plus. Pok\u00e9mon Go Plus promises to enhance Pok\u00e9mon Go gameplay and has the potential to retain more users and attract a whole new audience of players. Other developments are sure to be introduced as a follow up to the massive success of this game when it was first released to the public.<\/p>\n
How Pok\u00e9mon Can Avoid Becoming the Latest Fad<\/h2>\n
To avoid becoming the next online fad, Pok\u00e9mon Go will have to evolve and keep its existing users happy. There are many ways this can be achieved. Turning Pok\u00e9mon Go into a service, adding new user experiences and continually adding fresh, exciting content, are all ways this can be achieved.<\/p>\n

However, this does not mean it\u2019s the end of the road for Pok\u00e9mon Go because it still has a huge legion of fans who are active users and there are many developments planned in the coming months.<\/p>\n
