| 00:00 - 00:03 | I was working in Niantic's Pokemon Divsion |
| 00:03 - 00:05 | and John Hanke came in |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | and he was pissed |
| 00:07 - 00:09 | He said "You guys need to step it up!" |
| 00:09 - 00:11 | "Our users are dropping like flies" |
| 00:11 - 00:13 | the employees threw out some ideas |
| 00:13 - 00:17 | generation 2, decreased walking requirements, shinny mon |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | until some smartass said: |
| 00:19 - 00:24 | "make new mon only available from eggs and put a hat on pikachu" |
| 00:24 - 00:27 | "a santa hat" |
| 00:31 - 00:32 | "a hat" |
| 00:32 - 00:36 | and John loved the idea!!!! |
| 00:36 - 00:41 | new pokemon only available from eggs in winter and a new hat! |
| 00:41 - 00:46 | So all of these people who were waiting for legendaries, |
| 00:46 - 00:54 | or waiting for trading and PvP battles |
| 00:54 - 01:01 | now have to hatch all old eggs before they can hatch anything new |
| 01:03 - 01:08 | good thing its the middle of winter! |
| 01:08 - 01:12 | people will need to walk in the freezing cold to make room for new mon! |
| 01:12 - 01:16 | and incubators are still 150 coins each |
| 01:16 - 01:22 | that's over $2.00 per incubator |
| 01:24 - 01:28 | You can't even discard old eggs if you wanted to take advantage right now |
| 01:34 - 01:38 | We had tell the Niantic customer service employees |
| 01:39 - 01:44 | to just start responding to emails with "r." |
| 01:42 - 01:47 | One guy asked if they are getting increased pokemon storage |
| 01:47 - 01:50 | so i told him |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | here you can upgrade your pokemon storage |
| 01:53 - 01:56 | It's only "$2.78" |
| 01:57 - 01:59 | get used to it, fanboy. |
| 02:01 - 02:02 | You want mew/mewtwo? |
| 02:02 - 02:04 | nope not yet |
| 02:07 - 02:11 | a santa hat and new mon only in eggs. |
| 02:13 - 02:15 | maybe.. |
| 02:15 - 02:22 | maybe we should get rid of wild pokemon and just start selling them |
| 02:24 - 02:28 | we have more people complaining about the game than we do playing. |
| 02:28 - 02:30 | John Hanke has lost his mind |
| 02:30 - 02:31 | - he's crazy |
| 02:31 - 02:33 | - money crazy |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | he doesnt have a clue |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | he's crazy for santa hats. |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | that man loves his santa hats. |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | do you plan to keep working for Niantic? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | - no im going to start a new company |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | we're going to make santa hats for pokemon go |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | looks like a good business. |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | You want a pikachu with a hat? |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | maybe someone in the audience? |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | Screw Niantic I'll sell you incubators for half the price |
