What things do you hope/expect to be added to Pokemon Go.

[AgentKallus]

Now that trainer battles, gyms and tradings are all up and running in go what else would you like to see?, what to you expect to see?

I'd like:

• A deerstalker hat Pikachu to tye in the movie release.
• Buddy candy in gifts/pokestops (amount relativ eto how much can be earned by walking a certain distance.
• Pokemon to be released not by gen but more randomly. (controversial I'm sure)
• A gen 8 pokemon revealed in go?maybe?
• Transfer any pokemon across to gen8 including hatted ones, mythical and ones not from kanto
• Another way to earn pokecoins.

• A gen 8 pokemon revealed in go?maybe?

We kind of already had this with Meltan (Gen 7.5? Gen 7.9? Gen 8?), though I can see Go doing this again (we've had new Pokemon show up in side games before their proper debut before).

I'd like to have special events where the mph cap is removed and I can go tearing down the interstate, hatching all dem eggs and racking up tons of candies for my rare, needs-5km-per-candy buddy Pokemon. Won't happen, but I'd like for it to. I second having another way to earn coins. Maybe by battling other players? I want all of Gen V to be released all at once and completely supplant the spawn rates of currently existing Pokemon, make it feel like the game is new again (or when Gen 2 was released and suddenly there were dozens of new Pokemon to catch). I want the three separate teams to actually MEAN something in the game beyond "but now you don't get coins." I want Smeargle, because that empty spot in my Johto Dex is driving me crazy. I DON'T want the next 2 EX-Raid Pokemon to be "Deoxys again...but in a different form!" I want to be able to delete eggs. I want to be able to have the ability to decline taking an egg from a Gift. I want a week-long event where every time you increase someone's friendship, it counts as 2 days instead of one. I want some way of being able to communicate with players in-game, even if we're only allowed to choose from preset phrases, and the ability to see if anyone is in a raid lobby from far away. I want to be able to trade items. I want a shiny Sneasel.

Idea: Small chance for Unown to appear during Community Day, where the Unown letters spell out the Pokemon of the month.

More stability in terms of trading to Let's Go.

What I think we really need (that's also realistic) is abilities. We have so many Pokémon, like Shedinja and Castform that are worthless without them. Given, most abilities couldn't be a direct one-to-one transfer from the main series, as the battle mechanics are entirely different, but many could easily be adapted to Go, such as Intimidate lowering the damage taken from the opponent, or Pick Up allowing you to find items if the Pokémon is your Buddy. If they need to, they can even make Go-original abilities to balance everything out.

That thing about Pick Up is also interesting possibility. Specifically, abilities used by your Buddy Pokémon could have a very interesting effect on the game, and actually make your Buddy more than just a glorified candy dispenser.

What would be cool feature is one that tells you when active players are nearby so you can find people to trade and battle with easier.

To expand on this, what we desperately need is a "RSVP system" for Raids. If I see a Raid off in the distance, there needs to be a button I can click to say "I'm on my way," and then once I'm there, a button to say "I'm here and ready." This would solve several issues with Raiding. Most importantly, to players who are still not at the gym, it could display the number of people who have said they're on the way, and how many people are there. This way, you'll never have to go out of your way to get to a Raid, only to find out that there's no one there. Also, it would allow people at the Raid to know that others are coming, so they know to wait until they get there. My area has a big problem with starting Raids the moment the egg hatches, so if your three minutes late, no Raid for you. This would make Raids so much easier to use, and I may actually go out of my way to Raid things that aren't Legendary if we had this.

I'm taking full credit for this one, I'm just saying. Now I'm not saying I'm a prophet or anything, but...
(And yes, I know it's only for a couple days instead of a full week, but it's still amazing that they did it anyway.)

 

[Evanibble]

Better trading system would be amazing.

I also like the idea of knowing if there are any other players nearby. The only times i've seen other players is if they're frantically tapping their screen. Otherwise, anyone with a phone in hand just looks...well, normal. Also, it makes it easier for introverts like me to actually do these raid battles that are four or five star, since i'll know if there is enough people at a gym nearby.

Also I'd like the next special event to come out soon. Like Jirachi or something would be nice.

And some means of getting region-locked Pokemon. I know they're locked for a reason, but I don't think it's necessarily fair (this could easily be resolved by improving how trading works).

-Being able to trade with people who are far away. (maybe they can make this available only for ultra friends and up)
-Coins awarded per pokemon in a gym per day. (they could reduce the cap from 20 pokémon's in a gym to 5 or so)
-Only being able to see the country's name instead of exact location when sending gifts.
-Being able to see if there are people at a raid from distance.
-Lower waiting time for a raid to start. (I always do 1 or 2 level raids because there are never people at a raid in my neighborhood and I think it is annoying to have to wait such a long time because I know there aren't going to enter more people. Or they only lower the waiting time for lvl 1 to 3 raids and keep the 3 minutes for lvl 4 and 5)
-Being able to see if there are other players nearby.

I understand the frustration, but that would really open up the possibility of an illigimate trade market, suching as people selling Shiny or 100% IV Pokémon. That really is something this game should avoid.

-Only being able to see the country's name instead of exact location when sending gifts.

Why? It's not like it's some sort of massive breach of personal information. Personally, I like seeing the city locations, especially when I get sent a gift from places like New York City or Washington DC.

And if it is a privacy concern, it shouldn't really matter, as you can control who you're friends with and who you send gifts to. To be blunt, it's called friends for a reason, the idea is that it's people you know on the list, so them knowing what city you're in shouldn't be an issue.

Now that trainer battles, gyms and tradings are all up and running in go what else would you like to see?, what to you expect to see?
I'd like:

• A deerstalker hat Pikachu to tie in the movie release.
• Transfer any pokemon across to gen 8

Two wishes granted so far, thought home will likely cost.

I'd also like the best friend damage boost to be increased in raids so that tier 4 and 5 raids are more feasible in more rural/suburban/ normal cities but not just the city centre.

 

[Monox D. I-Fly]

• A gen 8 pokemon revealed in go?maybe?

Isn't Galarian Weezing technically Gen 8? Gen 6 is the only Gen whose Pokemon isn't in Go at all.

After PvP was added to the game, what are the new features or updates to be ... The only thing I'd really hope for is Pokéstop submissions.

Pokéstop submission actually already is a feature in the game, you just need to hit level 40 first.

I want an easier way to evolve Meltan. I don’t have a smartphone and my iPad doesn’t have 4G WiFi so getting certain things in Go is difficult for me. I can’t walk all of the kilometers necessary to earn Meltan Candy and I don’t get many wild Pokémon at home.

For whatever it's worth, for the current month, the Mystery Box lasts an hour instead of 30 minutes, and Meltan are spawning more often during that time period, so right now is the easiest time there's ever been to get a Melmetal.

I am going to guess Sylveon will evolve via friendship level.

 

[Pokemon Power]

I have a feeling that Gen. VI Pokemon will start showing up in late 2020.

 

[Bguy7]

That's not a particularly wild guess, seeing as Pokémon of a new generation have always shown up at then end of the year for the past four years...

Definitely I've already started on my shiny lucky eevee
