Pokémon Go to let players swap pokémon soon

/ 07:14 PM July 11, 2016

Addicted players of the viral smartphone game Pokémon Go can expect more reforms and exciting twists, such as allowing them to trade pokémons with each other.

In a report by Tech Insider, Niantic CEO John Hanke said that players could soon trade monsters to encourage them to cooperate in both virtual and real worlds.

“It’s kind of a core element,” Hanke said.

Also, Hanke divulged that virtual Pokémon Go “trainers”  would soon experience more ways to use Pokéstops and Gyms, which are landmarks designed for item restock.

Hanke also revealed that Pokémon Go would soon showcase a “global leadership scoreboard” that tallies all the world’s “valedictorian” and “salutatorian” players of the game. This will come side by side with the launch of Pokémon Go on other augmented reality (AR) devices, such as wearable gadgets.

“That may be a fun thing to take advantage of,” Hanke told the news site.

Pokémon Go aced both iOS and Android platforms despite its launch in a few ‘”favored” countries including Australia, the US and New Zealand.  Gianna Francesca Catolico
