Pokemon Go on HoloLens?

Anyone consider running or knowing a way to run Pokemon Go from HoloLens? I ran into this: http://mspoweruser.com/play-pokemon-go-windows-pc/.

The emulator solution won't work on the HoloLens. The app must be a UWP app to run on the device, and a straight port (if it were a UWP app) would just make it run as a 2D app. That said, Pokémon Go would be an excellent candidate for a mixed-reality experience. Now, if only Nintendo were willing to create a version that ran on the HoloLens.... I'm sure it would be awesome
And just to show how much cooler it could be with mixed reality, CapitolaVR already made a prototype: http://www.roadtovr.com/what-pokemon-go-could-be-like-if-it-was-really-augmented-reality/
I love the concept here. I bet it could be pushed further.
The only downside is you'd have to either be tethered to a huge wifi network like at a university, or on your phones hotspot.
