That initial success was enough to send Nintendo stock soaring (Nintendo didn't make the game, but owns a piece of the company that did -- Niantic), adding more than $7 billion to its total value.
Those numbers can be hard to believe, but T-Mobile CEO John Legere noted on Tuesday that his company's network had experienced the growth first hand.

The unprecedented success of Pokémon Go isn't just good for a mobile game. The app is now on pace to start competing with the likes of Snapchat and Google Maps.
"At its current rate of growth, Pokémon GO is on track to pass Snapchat within a couple of days on Android," wrote Robbie Allan, mobile product manager for SurveyMonkey, in a blog post. "Plus, as unbelievable as it sounds, Pokémon GO Android could surpass Google Maps itself as the largest user of Alphabet’s mapping data."

Allen warned that mobile games tend to flame out quickly, noting other apps have fallen as quickly as they've risen.
"History hasn’t always been kind to games that generate tremendous hype. Back in 2012, Draw Something consumed the public consciousness for a few weeks before its user numbers dropped like a stone. Nintendo’s last mobile game, Miitomo, met a similar fate, finding early success that was ultimately unsustainable," he wrote.
