Speaking to IGN about future game updates and features for Pokémon GO, Niantic had a lot to say about features fans have been longing for.

“Trading was mentioned in the initial launch trailer of the game, so that is definitely something that we want to get to at some point,” Bhargava told IGN. “I think the priority has always been, you know, what is the feature that we can launch now that we feel will get the community excited and energized. So we do continue to talk about some of the features that you mentioned, and they are on the roadmap. We just haven’t fully investigated those and talked about how would we want to bring those into Pokemon Go. So that is definitely something that we’re focused on.”

From what we can take about this is that Trading and PVP battles will definitely make their way soon, but it will take some time to be properly implemented. It is unfortunate that they were not able to add these during the Pokémon GO boom, but knowing that they want to include someday is good news. For their next few months, they are trying their best to bring the Hoenn region Pokémon to the game.

“For now, though, we thought it had been a while since the Pokemon from the Johto region came out, that was in February,” he added. “So we definitely felt the need to bring out the Hoenn region Pokemon, so that became the focus, and dynamic weather came through that. So that’s the focus now and we definitely want to get to those other features very soon.”

When asking about features such as an increased storage limit and a higher level cap, they are looking into it.

“We’re actively discussing that at the moment. It’s something that we ourselves as fans have requested on the product team and the marketing team. So the teams are actively looking into that.”
