In an interview with TechCrunch, Niantic CEO John Hanke confirmed that new Pokémon would be released at official Pokémon Go events. Like in the game’s trailer, trainers would have to work together to defeat and catch really strong Pokémon or perhaps legendaries.
“You will see new Pokémon come into the game around special events at certain times in certain parts of the world,” said John Hanke. This news does not come as a surprise, especially for Pokémon Go trainers that were familiar with Niantic’s other game, Ingress where players do gather around for global events every few months.
Another interesting feature that is coming is the player battle. John Hanke did not confirm when this feature is coming but is definitely on the roadmap.
