The site provides third-party information about the popular mobile game Pokémon Go, the website's name being a deliberate misspelling of the name of the game. Downs decided to sell the website on the basis that he did not have enough time to run it. Pokeymongo sold for US$3500 on bidding website Flippa.^[6]
