I hear this is what the creators of Pokemon Go used before they launched their product.



Niantic was an internal startup at Google before spinning out into an independent company in 2015. By that point they already proved out their business idea with a cult hit game called Ingress, off which Pokemon Go is based. So technically yes, you're right :)


LOL. Well they already had jobs where they could work on their idea. It's funny though he did kind of start lean and build up: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/History_of_Pok%C3%A9m...
