Is this game becoming more popular?

I'm new but it seems like there are also a lot of new players playing. Since I'm new I don't have anything to compare to. Is the game becoming more popular?

Always has been popular, grows more in popularity everyday.

Using google trends to get a general view of the game, it diffidently seems to have been becoming popular, but much more so than recently. My guess is the addition of Johto.

and then This game will die down ,sadly ,after a few years because no new significant content will be added to this MMO.

I believe there is plenty of new content they can still add. Will the game die one day, yes, but I don't think it will be for a long time. Plus the more stuff there is, the more attractive it will be for younger pokemon fans that learn about the game

The spike in players is probably because of the implementation of Johto, alongside people being on summer break and others coming back because of the news of legends, new HAs etc.

 

The spike will probably drop around end of September/October, then rise again for the event seasons and drop off again from there. I'd say in general that November-February are probably the busiest months since that's when we have event season and PSL.
