I speculate, perhaps groundlessly, that they could be racing to add the other traditional elements of Pokemon, e.g. battles and trading. So long as they begin to deliver those before people forget about the game, they can get a second, probably much longer lasting, wind.

I certainly couldn't see myself being a devotee even if they added those features, but kids the world over devoted countless hours to the gameboy games, and that's pretty much what they were.

P.S. When "playing" equates to "biking around town, walking around town, etc", I'm A-OK with play volume being an important element to "success"!

You are correct about the trading part.
