Who makes Pokémon Go?

Niantic, Inc., an American software development company based in San Francisco, California, is best known for developing and publishing the augmented reality mobile games Ingress and Pokémon Go. The company was formed in 2010 by Keyhole, Inc. founder John Hanke as Niantic Labs, an internal startup at Google, before it was spun out of Google as an independent entity in October 2015.

Niantic's systems use high throughput real-time geospatial querying and indexing techniques to process more than 200 million game actions per day as people interact with real and virtual objects in the physical world.

Thought it was Nintendo because I recall their stock going up during the initial Pokemon craze.

Made a wild guess and got it right. I have never played it but my oldest daughter was hooked for a while.

I have to admit that when I walk my dog I chase Pokemon, it is fun well for me anyway 😁

I put Nintendo, thought I was right as they are the owner of the trademark for Pokémon. Pokémon Go is something I never heard of. I just thought that Nintendo made it Go
