Pokémon Go finally gets trading and a friends list, rolls out this week

Niantic announced today that Pokémon Go will soon be getting two big features: Pokémon trading and a friends list. These have been requests from the community since the AR title app launched in July 2016. The features will roll out later this week, according to a studio blog post.

Pokémon Go is a huge mobile hit that earned over $1.2 billion in revenue in its first year. While it’s not the giant phenomena it was during that first summer, it still has millions of players and is one of the most popular mobile games in the world. New content still keeps its players engaged and can bring back lapsed fans.
