Weve seen flash-in-the-pan app releases before, but the excitement usually fizzles out in a day or two.

Pokmon Go has been out just over a week now, and it already has more daily active users than Tinder, is rivaling Twitters sizable ranks, and has made an 7.5 billion impact on Nintendos stock.

In fact, Im willing to bet that if you took Nintendo and Pokmon out of the equation it would barely make a dent in the App Store.

But thanks to Pikachu and Co., millions of users are willing to overlook the crude interface and repetitive gameplay as they wander their neighborhoods trying to round up as many creatures as they can.

Pokmon Go may be the first app that has taken augmented reality mainstream, but its heavy reliance on the smartphones screen has already been blamed for car crashes and other mishaps, and at some point users are just going to get tired of holding their phones all day.

And thats why the Apple Watch could take the game to the next level.

Smartphones provide a better experience than a handheld console like the 3DS would, taking full advantage of our mobile phones cameras and sensors.

If you can find one for sale, theres already a wrist-worn 35 accessory, the Pokmon Go Plus, that lights up and buzzes when Pokmon are nearby, in case your phone is tucked away and you cant feel it vibrating.

The smartphone game guides you to find Pokmon by indicating with one to three paw prints how far away they are.

To catch them, you flick Pok Balls at them from your smartphone screen.

To evolve them or level them up, you feed them Candies (dont worry, this is all in our beginners guide ).

Any of this could be done on the wrist, and could result in longer game sessions if you can leave your smartphones display off for a few more minutes at a time, giving your battery a break.

Id even wager that a lot of Pokmon Masters would pay to unlock a smartwatch app as an in-app purchase.

Of course, paying hundreds for an Apple Watchwhich still requires an iPhone to workjust for a kid to play Pokmon is a stretch.

But while kids already monopolize their parents iPhones, Pokmon Go requires constant vigilance.

Eventually, the watch app could be the bulk of the experience, with the smartwatch app providing a log of your progress, like the Activity app for the iPhone.

It would turn their backyards into an RPG and the Apple Watch into a new kind of gaming system, one that doesnt get in the way of where youre going.
