![]() With the advent of mobile phones, Tamagotchi stopped being so popular. Doesn’t require much attentionwe can play when we have a moment, we see continuous progression because there are always accessories to buy and we are not going to fool ourselves, the Tamagotchi effect is there. Now…why? Well, the game is simple, very simple. The charm of the “simple” above the graphics and sophistication In the end, these rankings are not 100% reliable, but they do allow us to have an idea of the popularity of applications and, as you can see, Pou is still in good shape (for a potato with 10 years behind him). It appears in position 87 of the most popular above a classic like Uno and ahead of titans like Brawl Stars, Mario Kart Tour or the titans Clash Royale and Pokémon Go. If we take a look at the graphics of the consultancy in iOS segmenting the region, we can see that in Spain it is one of the most downloaded applications each month:Īnd on Android, more of the same, although in that aspect it is somewhat lower on the download list due to the tremendous competition in the Play Store.īut hey, beyond going to these graphs, which are still estimates, I wanted to take my Android to see where Pou is currently in the popularity ranking. If we look at the estimates from the Sensor Tower consultancy, we see that Pou continues to be one of the most popular titles every month on iOS (compatible with both iPad and iPhone) and on Android, where the terrain is much more complicated.
