If you ever played Ingress, you’d know Pokemon Go is just a skin for it that Niantic applied 3 years later. Literally the same nodes you battle over were now just Pokemon gyms.

I think they released a new reskin of their product line last year in the guise of Monster Hunter which is also similar to Ingress and Go.
And the Harry Potter game.
