Pokemon Go Will Officially Include PvP Battles and Trading

February 14, 2017 by Jordan Coetsee

“Soon”, says CEO John Hanke.

Even if you haven’t played the game, the mere sight of fanatics exploring their neighbourhoods whilst swiping their screens in a hunt for Pokemon demonstrates that Pokemon Go was one of the most successful projects of 2016.

After the launch, we have already seen the introduction of new innovations such as Buddy Pokemon and Nearby systems, now they’re expanding the capabilities of the Pokemon-world by introducing PvP battles and Trading!

In an interview with the CEO of Pokemon Go, Hanke stated that “It’s going to be done soon.”

“It is what it is. I’ll take the massive wave of hysteria we enjoyed, and just deal with the fact that it’s caused us to take a bit longer to get the rest of the features up. We’re really happy to make our users happy.” – John Hanke

Reportedly, The Pokemon Company intentionally held several features back in order to make the game friendlier to newcomers. This stimulates our excitement for what’s to come in the Pokeworld.

Finally, we will know who the very best is.
