The Pokemon series, as it stands today, is not what people are shitposting on facebook and making news articles about.
Instead, we're going through the motions of typical childhood nostalgia for a point in the franchise that is completely incomparable to the modern games. The fact that virtually none of the fun and interesting gameplay features that make Pokemon what it is today are included in Go only serves to confirm this.
Also, if you think these memetastic phone users are going to buy a 3DS and SM you're severely deluded.
