Sure but I'd argue the success of Pokemon Go is not because of AR but in spite of AR.

I am very skeptical people play Pokemon Go for it's AR integration considering other AR games aren't nearly as popular and frankly the gameplay itself is pretty poor.

Pokemon Go seems popular because it's Pokemon on mobile.

And the game is also unplayable until you turn the AR off, unless you love wasting all your Pokéballs because one arm can't quite flick the balls in the right direction while the other arm awkwardly holds the phone just so.
