Why do people refer to the Pokemon series as "Pokemon Go"?

[osaka35]

I still call my 3ds a gameboy, so I can't really say much. BUT if it helps, just assume they're trying to be intentionally ironic. It can help with the headaches.

Pokemon Go to the polls

I don't know man. People still call it Pokémon here... with an accented e.
My best guess would be because Pokémon Go is popular and they didn't know about Pokémon until recently.

Waiting for Pokémon GoGo or the Go Pokémon Go.

I can't provide proof atm cuz im on vacation, but as far as i know, every Minecraft LPer calls the series Go, every Pokemon P0rnhub video calls it Go, and all kids toys channels call it Go.

I saw a chinese bootleg Pokémon playing cards deck and it said "Pokemon Go" on the back.

Perhaps clickbait, otherwise everybody is so frickin' stupid in this world that they think the whole series is Pokemon GO.
Pokemon GO Blue
Pokemon GO Red
Pokemon GO Green
Pokemon GO Yellow
Sounds fun. 4 new ways to get hit by a truck.

And to make matters worse, Nintendo stupidly delayed the release of that Pokémon Go watch-device-thingy which would have sold like hotcakes but by the time it's out.. no one will care.

It's been released 5 days ago, even though it's about 10$ more expensive than it was said to be.. But they definitely would have sold more if it was released with the app.

I totally forgot about Portugal's Nintendo Store and what a surprise, it is in stock but for some odd reason the UK store says it'll only have stock late October. Wonder why.

Thanks for the link.

I don't understand the question, you telling me, that people think all of pokemon is Just called pokemon go?
How exactly? Is just a free to play mobile game.

While I would normally be in disbelief over this kind of thing, sadly the world has taught us ignorance unfortunately runs deep for some people.
