Will.i.am has taken time from his very busy music career to talk about Pokemon GO, of all things. This stems from a collab between the Black Eyed Peas and Marvel's Masters of the Sun, which has an augmented reality app to go along with it. With AR on the brain, Will.i.am stopped to ponder where Pokemon GO's competitors are.
We have a new instalment of this intellectual property that we're going to bring to culture later on in this year. For example, there’s Spotify and then there’s also Deezer, Apple Music and Pandora. There’s Instagram stories, and then there’s Snapchat. For everything there is another thing. But Pokemon Go? What’s the other Pokemon? It doesn’t exist, right? There is no other that.
And that s*** made a lot of money. But nobody is trying to go out into the world and do that s*** because to do that you have to have augmented technology. I’m just saying you have to start to identify and see things, trigger things and place things. And it’s amazing that there is no other Pokemon Go. For everything you can imagine, there is another thing. Except for that one. Wow it’s crazy!
I guess Will.i.am hasn't heard about the upcoming Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, and Ghostbusters AR games that are all very similar. I mean, I think they're pretty similar looking, but perhaps I'm not thinking on the same level as Will.i.am.
