A successful game that saw downfall later
Pokemon Go was very popular at the end of 2016. But, Now, I rarely see someone playing the game. I installed the game lately on my phone using Tutu Helper(http://tutuhelperappios.com) as the game was not available in my country at that time. I played it for 5 days and stopped.
