Providing positive feedback to people to manipulate them into wanting to spend more time doing the thing that might give the reward. Slot machines, and other forms of games of chance fall into the same categoryBen O'Steenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330754112283510575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633173984973725986.post-78025464132145746642016-07-26T11:56:19.601+01:002016-07-26T11:56:19.601+01:00My very brief thought- I agree about the discovery...My very brief thought- I agree about the discovery and catching of the Pokemon as being the reason people are playing a not very slick game- but I don't think its gambling (it doesn't cost anything? or maybe time DOES cost).

While it is fun for a while, the novelty wears off and many turn it off (which saves precious battery life and makes the pokemon easier to catch).<br /><br />Pokemon is huge. It's absolutely massive.
