Do not despair, Niantic keeps its promises. And it is that the creator of Pokémon GO has not forgotten his roadmap in terms of new functions and features. If we knew months ago that they were already working on the issue of exchanging Pokémon, now we already have that function. And it seems that the same will happen with the battles between Pokémon trainers that have been in high demand. The date? Before the end of this year 2018 Pokémon GO will end the year as a complete game.
The statements come from the head of marketing in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa region) of Pokémon GO, Anne Beuttenmüller, who has confirmed to the Gram publication that there will be player versus player fights at the end of the year A feature present in the rest of the games in the backbone of the Pokémon franchise, and still absent in Pokémon GO, despite have been confirmed for a long time. But it is not the only information that Beuttenmüller has provided.
In Pokémon GO they not only work to add new features, but also to improve those that are already present. That is why the recent friends feature, with which to add profiles of other trainers, and also the exchange feature , which allows you to send or receive Pokémon from others, will be outlined soon.Beuttenmüller has not detailed anything, but there will be improvements when it comes to identifying true friends or adding notes about different friendships. Something logical since, since the function was launched, players have shared their profile number on social networks to be added by anyone, getting a list of friends who don't really have any kind of relationship. Hopefully, with the new improvements, you can sort the list of friends or create different spaces.
There is less information regarding the improvements in the exchange of Pokémon. At the moment they seem to satisfy Pokémon GO players, who have to share real physical space to be able to send and receive these beings. In addition, Niantic has thought about the details, and has introduced a new type of Pokémon that comes to light only when it has been traded. They are the lucky Pokémon, and according to Beuttenmüller they will not be the only ones. There will soon be new Pokémon in Pokémon GO, although we don't know if they will be more variations or new generations.
Without a doubt from Niantic they know well how to maintain the hype or expectation regarding their goose that lays the golden eggs. According to market research firm Sensor Tower, Pokémon GO has already produced 1.8 billion dollars in revenue since its launch two years ago And continues to rake in two million dollars a day with its integrated purchases, with players from the United States and Japan being the ones who invest the most in the title. It is also known that it is the Google Play Store that manages 58% of these operations, leaving the Apple Store at 42%. This last piece of information is surprising, since it is usually iPhone users who are most willing to spend money on applications and integrated purchases.
Pokémon GO has already celebrated its second year of life with a summer full of events.And it is that this game has not only found a good vein among players who buy content from the title, but also with commercial agreements with shopping centers and other places Of this In this way they can place special poképaradas or meeting places where players can gather under the excuse of an event. We will have to see how the fight between coaches will change the mechanics and practices of the game. At the moment we will have to wait until the end of the year to enjoy this function. Meanwhile, there will surely be new changes and events to keep us glued to this augmented reality game.
