What would you ask the creator of your favorite game if you ran into him on a plane trip? Doctor PoGo has been lucky enough to sit next to John Hanke, creator of Pokémon GO, and has taken advantage of the situation. Thanks to the conversations that have been echoed by various media, we now know that Niantic Labs, the company that developed the Pokémon title, is immersed in the new features of the titleAnd without features that many have been waiting for a long time.
Media such as NintendoEverything affirm that Doctor PoGo knew before anyone else that Niantic is already working on the fourth generation of Pokémon The one that includes beings as characteristic as Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup, or the charismatic Lucario. With this the number of creatures available to discover throughout the world would increase to 493, expanding not only the beings on foot, but also filling the raids with new legendaries. Quite an addition for those who still want to complete their pokédex. But there is more.

Another point on which Niantic would be focusing its efforts is the battles between trainers Something that has been rumored for a long time .And it is that the creators of Pokémon GO have always spoken that this function would be on their roadmap to the satisfaction of all players. Now, when and how they would be are still the doubts that fly over our heads. And it does not seem that these features will arrive with the next update.
Of course, while they arrive, Niantic continues working on the day-to-day of the game, improving some aspects such as the Raids, which They will receive modifications to be more accessible to any player. The levels and powers of the Pokémon that are already present in the title are also monitored and changed to prevent players from taking advantage of one and others from falling into disuse. A balancing system that is key to maintaining fair play throughout the world.
Also novel is the intention to increase the maximum level to which a player can climb, expanding the possibilities of the most advanced followers and experienced. And new items will be included to give more depth to the game mechanics. Presumably they will be objects that have to do with certain evolutions of some Pokémon, although the idea of finding new objects related to the upbringing and care of these pocket beings is not ruled out. Objects that would end up being sold through the in-game store to swell the coffers of the title.
Last but certainly not least, it has also been revealed that Niantic intends to hold the Pokémon GO Fest 2 Yes, the second part of the disastrous Pokémon festival that disappointed thousands of players last year after the title malfunctioned.Something that not only led Niantic to return the entry money to the participants, but also to face a million-dollar lawsuit in the face of the organizational catastrophe that was the first edition. They will have a chance to redeem themselves and satisfy the players, and once again have all the attention on them.
The flight shared by Doctor PoGo and Hanke also spoke about spoofing A problem that has been attacking Pokémon GO practically since the day it hit the app stores. And it is that there are many players who break the mechanics of the game and decide to look for Pokémon from home, relocating their position virtually, with the tools of a hacker. Something that ruins the experience of the title, which promotes walks through the city to capture Pokémon, but also makes the experience unfair for the rest of the trainers. Element that Niantic continues to fight by banning and blocking accounts of those who take advantage of these bad techniques.
However. At the moment it is unknown when the new functions will arrive All that remains is to be patient and enjoy the different challenges and additions such as Professor Willow's investigations. Functions that invite you to play daily if you are a true fan of the title.
