Pokémon GO has lost millions of users in recent weeks. Users who have basically gotten bored of the same in-game over and over again. It was clear that this was going to happen. However, the truth is that the game will include new features soon. We have only seen 10% of what is to come. And this is that Niantic could have prepared for the game.
Pokémon Trade
We have known this for a long time. The possibility of exchanging Pokémon was coming. Within the game code there are already references to this function. You can search for Pokémon that users offer, and we can also offer one Pokémon in exchange for another. I guess what will happen is that if the deal is interesting, the Pokémon trade will take place. The Battle Points of the Pokémon will also influence here, too, and not just the fact of exchanging one Pokémon for another.
A companion Pokémon
In the style of Pikachu with Ash Ketchum in the cartoon series, or in Pokémon Yellow, we can select a partner Pokémon May he always go with us when we are walking down the street. This Pokémon will be able to get candy. We assume that they will be candies of the same type of Pokémon, so we can use it to evolve the Pokémon we want. The more we walk with him following us, the more candy we will have to make him evolve. It will not be necessary, therefore, or at least not so much, having to catch the same type of Pokémon over and over again to get the candies of that type. This will add to the game the factor of having to go out, activate the game, and go the distance with that partner Pokémon.
Legendary
It was clear that the Legendary Pokémon were going to arrive sooner or later. But now the code already includes references to the catch each legendary pokemon. We do not know more, if these will appear or not in any city, if it will be by hours, by places, or will be delivered at special events. At the moment there is not enough data on this, so it seems that Legendary Pokémon like Reshiram or Zekrom will continue to be the great unknown of the game for now.
Types of incense
So far, there is only one type of incense, which attracts all kinds of Pokémon. However, it seems that specific types of incense for each type of Pokémon could soon arrive. For example, incense that only attracts bug and plant Pokémon, or only fire-type Pokémon. If we want to get this type of Pokémon to fight in a gym, a specific incense could be very useful.
Virtual reality
How could it be otherwise in a game that innovates due to its augmented reality, virtual reality was also going to be the protagonist in this game. How will it be? Well in principle there is no way to know. Walking down the street with virtual reality glasses on doesn't seem very safe. In fact, playing with Pokémon GO is already causing accidents. How much more to put on glasses that do not allow us to see. Perhaps virtual reality has something to do with a way to be able to play Pokémon GO from home. That would be great. It would not only add an incentive to the game itself, being able to play it from home, but also to the world of virtual reality. For example, many gamers would be driven to buy some virtual reality device, even if it is based on Google Cardboard, with a cardboard structure, just to be able to play the game from home. Pokémon GO could also be responsible for the success of virtual reality with users. It has already managed to bring many new features to the world of video games on smartphones, and why shouldn't this be another one.
