Pokémon Go passes $1.2 billion in revenue and 752 million downloads

Pokémon Go has now earned a total of $1.2 billion in revenues and 752 million downloads, according to Apptopia, an app intelligence startup based in Boston. Its total revenues for 2016 were at $950 million. So, while 2017 may not see the app making as many headlines in mainstream news, the pocket-monster catcher still has plenty of traction.
