5 Features We Want In Pokemon Go

Thanks to Pokemon Go, many people who previously spent their free time crushing candies in their bedrooms, are now leaving the comfort of their homes to catch Pokemon. Nintendo released the game to the public on July 6, 2016, and it has since garnered a huge fan following worldwide.

Here are 5 features that we, as avid Pokemon trainers, would like to see added to Pokemon Go in the near future.


Better Battles

As of now, the only instance of battles in Pokemon Go is if you head to a local Gym, and challenge the Pokemon left there by another trainer -- which is not exactly a true multiplayer experience.

It would be fun if we could battle other trainers around us, and maybe receive rewards every time we defeat them. In all previous Pokemon titles on Nintendo consoles, the battle system included turn-based gameplay, where players could choose what attack to use next. However, in Pokemon Go, all we do is tap and swipe continuously on the opponent Pokemon.

This could be made better by adding more gestures for specific attacks, so that the trainer has more control over the battle mechanics.

Trading Pokemon

Previous iterations of Pokemon games allowed players to trade extra Pokemon with their friends in exchange for certain items, or more Pokemon. This is another major omission from Pokemon Go, and we hope the developer Niantic adds it to the game soon.

It is quite common to end up with the same Pokemon twice, so if we could trade this extra Pokemon with our friends in exchange for, say, Pokecoins, or another Pokemon that we need in our collection.

More social features

Another thing that we found missing from Pokemon Go is integration of social features, such as the ability to add friends, local leaderboards and public profiles.

How cool would it be if Pokemon Go automatically brought in your friends from Facebook, Twitter and Google+ that are playing the game, and allowed us to view what Pokemon they have captured, or maybe even challenge them to a battle? It would make us want to spend a lot more time in the game than we already do, if that’s even possible at this point.

Pokemon Go should also allow players to head out in the search of Pokemon together with their friends, gaining extra XP for things they do in groups. With enough friends, we can even start our own local tournament, and battle friends to emerge as winners!

Luckily, Niantic has already said that they are planning to add more social features to Pokemon Go in future updates.

Push notifications

To catch nearby Pokemon in the game, we need to have the app open on our phones. This demands a lot of power, and the device ends up running out of battery very quickly.

What could help in this scenario is if Niantic allowed the app to automatically send us push notifications whenever there are Pokemon or Pokestops around. This will make the experience much more fun, and we won’t have to worry about running out of juice anymore.


Better Avatar customisation

When we first start playing Pokemon Go, we have to create our own character with which we are identified throughout the game from there onwards. However, the customisations available right now are extremely limited, and most of the players end up looking more or less the same.

This could cause confusion later, when Niantic brings the ability to add friends to Pokemon Go. Along with more clothing items, players should also be allowed to log in to the game with their social network profiles, and automatically import a profile picture for easier identification.
