John Hanke, who is the CEO of Pokémon GO developer Niantic, was at San Diego Comic-Con on Sunday and dropped some hints regarding the future of the immensely popular mobile title. Hanke also reconfirmed that trading will eventually be coming to Pokémon GO. Here’s a summary of what he discussed during the event:
- Sorry about the servers: Hanke told the San Diego crowd that they “weren’t provisioned for what happened” and that they’re working on keeping the servers up and reliable before they add new features. Similarly, Hanke also says they’re working on fixing things like the busted Pokémon radar system.
- Rare Pokémon are coming: “There are some rare ones that haven’t showed up yet that will be showing up.” That’s important, given that only 145 out of the total 151 Pokémon have been accounted for by players worldwide.
- Your team will be more important: Each Pokémon team — Team Instinct (Yellow), Team Valor (Red), and Team Mystic (Blue) — has one of the three Legendary Bird Pokémon associated with it, and that might play into which of those same birds players can catch. “They’re kinda aligned with the teams, and we might have something to announce about the teams soon,” says Hanke. Plus, the leaders of each time will start dispensing advice to players sooner rather than later, Hanke says.
- Turning Pokéstops into Pokémon Centers: Hanke hints you’ll be able to turn some Pokéstops in the game into Pokémon Centers, where you can heal your Pokémon, in accordance with the original video games that Pokémon Go is based on.
- Players haven’t found everything: Players of Pokémon Go have independently discovered that giving an Eevee the name of “Pyro,” “Rainer,” or “Sparky” will ensure that it evolves into Flareon, Vaporeon, or Jolteon, respectively. Hanke says there are plenty more little “easter eggs” like that which players haven’t found.
MUST FIND EASTER EGGS
Oh god, more Easter eggs…..
NEED TO GET THEM!!!!
Thank you.
Pokemon Centers and more bug fixes. Anything to make the experience even better.
Yes put this on an actual console not a phone
How could this game ever work on a console? The whole point is to leave your house to play it.
Put it on the New 3ds it could work
It’d need a constant internet connection, like phones, for that to work. I don’t see it ever happening.
Dont underestimate Nintendo they have done things that are pretty impressive
Yeah, because the New 3DS has cell service and a GPS function, right?
Oh, wait.
that could be changed they alter alot during localization so it isn’t Impossible
Yes, it could be possible on a new system. Not the New 3DS that’s already been out for a year and a half.
true but i’m not ruling it out
Anyone try naming an Eevee “Mikey”? (The fourth Eevee Brother)
Or the Kimono girls?
It seems to be random
Maybe some kind of daycare system inside those Pokécenters? Or a garden to grow berries in? Maybe even custom stops which companies can buy which serve as, for example, Kurt’s house (the guy from g/s/c who makes custom Pokeballs)
Battles between trainers, trade Pokemon and items between trainers.
Better Pokemon radar which can serve as a system which makes it easier to index where certain Pokemon can be found. Should also be able to share this data with your friends.
More ways to use your Pokemon, perhaps contests or real gym battles. Maybe special league campaigns where, for example, every MediaMarkt is a Pokemon gym and you have to beat those to get to the MediaMarkt league.
Legendaries should be really strong and require multiple players to fitters weaken and then catch.
I like your ideas, especially the daycare and trading items.

They should add fighting vs the wild pokemon, and fights bettwen people in real time
when those things are applied you will have the best game ever made
and if you do the fighting like in the old days, w/ turns, even better
