In response to this, Niantic is believed to be working on a number of new features that are set for release soon.

Pokemon Trading has been rumored as well, given some ideas from the code regarding this feature. Based on the code, this new feature allows the player to make an offer to help trade a specific item with other players, who will then send back responses to the offer.
Moreover, "Pokemon Go" game is also expected to receive different variations to offer special and unique features. However, it is also important to note that not all these features may actually happen.
