Niantic has been following a trend of releasing an application update for "Pokemon GO" every two weeks. If Niantic will stick to that routine, the next update will be scheduled on the 5th of this month. As reports from different websites and hints from "Pokemon GO" creators Niantic Labs, the predicted "Pokemon GO" update looks to be just in time.
Buddy Pokemon Confirmed for 'Pokemon GO'
Niantic just confirmed Buddy Pokemon through "Pokemon GO's" official Facebook page. The post stated "Trainers, the upcoming version of "Pokemon GO" introduces a new Buddy Pokémon experience. You will be able to pick your favorite Pokémon to become your buddy." Here is the entire Facebook post by "Pokemon GO's" official page:
As reported by The Verge, Buddy Pokemons will appear beside the "Pokemon GO" trainers character in the trainer's profile. It will also grant the "Pokemon GO" trainer extra in game reward with candies.
'Pokemon GO' Generation 2 imminent?
With Buddy Pokemon for "Pokemon GO" being correctly predicted by several websites in the past week, does "Pokemon GO" generation2 be next in line? As "Pokemon GO" player usage declining more and more, Niantic is rumoured to go all out with the next update and to start off with the new Buddy Pokemon feature. Will generation 2 with 100 new species of Pokemons making their debut in the "Pokemon GO" world be enough to keep players engaged into the game?
"Pokemon GO" generation 2 egg hatching charts has also spread the internet making rumors of an impending "Pokemon GO" generation 2 addition for the next update even stronger. Here is a preview of the egg chart made by Pokemon GO Hub.
