The team plans to support the game for many years to come, and we’ve only seen a sliver of what the game will likely be once the team has begun releasing regular updates.Īt this point, keeping the servers online and fixing major bugs (like the “three-step glitch”) are the priority for Niantic, but once the game is up and running smoothly in every market, the update we’ve all been waiting for should start to drop. During the Q&A portion, one fan asked about breeding, and Hanke confirmed it was under discussion.Īlthough we shouldn’t expect to see any new Pokemon in the game any time soon ( we haven’t even seen all of the original 151 yet), Hanke did allude to the fact that more generations of creatures will appear in the game eventually.įinally, Hanke told the crowd that only a tenth of the functionality that the developer wanted to include in the game was available at launch. Niantic has also talked about giving players the ability to customize Poke Stops and add Pokemon Centers to the game. According to Niantic CEO John Hanke, these three team leaders will dispense advice within the app, but other than that, their purpose remains a bit mysterious.Īs for new features, the team is still intent on bringing trading to the app as quickly as possible. Candela will lead the red team, Blanche is in charge of blue and Spark carries the torch for yellow. The most important reveal during the Pokemon Go panel was that each of the three teams (Valor, Mystic and Instinct) will have a leader. Admittedly I’m most interested in seeing what they do with the teams - as of right now, your gameplay doesn’t change at all based on which team you choose - but either way, there’s plenty of room for the app to grow.DON’T MISS: 6 incredibly rare Pokemon that are currently impossible to find in Pokemon Go
Possible new features include the team leaders interacting with players, the addition of Pokemon Centers, and the gyms becoming a little more interesting (although exactly how this will happen wasn’t specified).
The “Pokemon Go” panel also teased a number of updates to the app we’ll hopefully see in the future indeed, according to Kotaku, the game is currently at about 10 percent of what Niantic wants it to be. Diversity matters, even in things that seem kind of trivial. Candela, Blanche, and Spark are assistants to Professor Willow who works at a Zoology Academy. Again, there’s still a lot of work to do - but it’s a start. NOTE: This is an AU I made for Pokemon Go.
#CANDELA AND BLANCHE COMIC SKIN#
Admittedly the skin tone options for the Trainer avatars in “Pokemon Go” still leave rather much to be desired - not dissimilar to, say, a lot of makeup lines, many players have commented that the darkest options are still disappointingly light - but it’s worth noting not only that the teams feature women prominently in leadership positions, but also that they feature a woman of color prominently in a leadership position. They remained faceless and sans detail, with only their basic outlines and an association with their team’s color (red for Valor, blue for Mystic, and yellow for Instinct) to guide us in our choice.Īs I noted once before, I’m thrilled that two of the three team leaders are women furthermore, now that we know what they all look like, I’m also extremely pleased about the fact that they’re not all white. Up until now, when you’ve been presented with your team choices, you were told a little bit about each one - Team Valor values fierceness in battle, Team Mystic takes an analytical approach to studying Pokemon, and Team Instinct runs by, well, instinct - and introduced to the team leaders… sort of: Candela, who leads up Team Valor, Blanche, head of Team Mystic, and Spark, who runs Team Instinct, appeared only in silhouette. Heck and yes.įor the uninitiated, here’s the deal: Once your “Pokemon Go” Trainer reaches level five - which you do by amassing XP, or Experience Points - two new features of the game open up to players: You can join a team, and you can fight in gyms. I mean, yes, it was kind of a given that they’d be cool… but you guys? They’re really, really cool. And you know what? they’re pretty dang cool. But hey, guess what? The mystery has finally been solved! The design of each of the leaders for Team Valor, Team Mystic, and Team Instinct were revealed for the first time at the end of Sunday’s “Pokemon Go” panel at San Diego Comic-Con and subsequently tweeted out from the official “Pokemon Go” Twitter account. Ever since “Pokemon Go” launched, players have been staunchly declaring their loyalties to their pick of the three teams you can join once you reach a high enough Trainer level - even though we haven’t actually known exactly what the “Pokemon Go” team leaders look like.
