I do not think we will see PVP until sometime in 2018. With as much struggle as they are having with the gym update I don’t see how they could possibly pull that out in the next five or six months
New content is the lifeblood of video games I do think they will release GEN three sometime this fall probably late September or October. Looking at the Pokémon they have released through raids leads me to believe they are giving an opportunity for trainers to finalize their GEN one Pokedex. I might be totally off base but I will be totally shocked if we don’t see gen 3 this year.
[Futurism] Gen 3: I think you’re probably right about when Gen 3 will be released. However, I’m afraid we will go through another dry spell like we did before Gen 2. I feel PvP should be the next update if we don’t get Gen 3. We need something within the game to keep users engaged when its too cold outside to play. Players would be able to meet up and battle inside. But in the end, I’m sure they have something good for us in store for our last quarter update.
I think that they will release it in September while it is still light out, weather should still be fairly decent so people will still go out and hunt. I don’t think they’d wait a whole year before releasing gen 3, gen 2 was only 7/8 months after the game came out. Plus they’ve got alot of players back with gym rework/raids/legendaries, they won’t want to lose the hype too quickly.
I think that the Gen 3 should be released between September and end of October 2017. This prediction is just mathematical: the game was released early July 2016 and 6 months later (February 2017) Gen 2 was released.
Indeed, even with the current Legendary event, the game is losing a lot of interest for a lot of players bacause we are more and more to caught every pokemons of Gen 1 and 2 (I just completed the pokedex 5 days ago !). So they need to keep the hype of the players by releasing this new Gen and then work new major features that will make the game better.
Also, Niantic annouced that they want to release a new big feature every 3 months. The Legendary are up since end of July so 3 months leads us to end of October.
PvP could be the next big relase if we stick to a release around October and another 3 months later, we should be able to fight each other around January 2018 at the latest.
My calculation according to my future experience. i can defently say that it will be release only niantic mess up a major update (like gym rework in past.). My speculation is they try to release PvP or trading But, instead of that they posponte pvp or trading and release gen3. With in 2 months it will happn.They r organising this events to fill your pokedex 4 the nxt big thing… but, as usual we get another gen… win win situation… kind off…
Nd stil some pokemon are left in pokedex.
I have to agree with the initial guess. I would think 1st qtr 2018. There has been no data mines from anywhere that niantic has been working on this. Trading and PVP should be next big ticket items.
Has anyone realized that we don’t even have smeargle or Delibird yet? They shouldn’t release gen 3 until we’ve got those and the rest of the gen 1 and 2 legendaries!
Quite honestly its time they release Gen3.Legendaries are good until Zapdos goes away.They will have to add more pokemon to make much awaited PVP AND TRADING more fun.Also Gen3 is assumed to have some good pokemon that shall change the entire meta.Im in favour of Gen3 being released before christmas (Although they should do it before mid september)
I think they will release Gen 3 sometime this month or beginning of next month. Then during christmas they will probably release Delibird. And smeargle might randomly be released kind of how ditto was released. Then Mewtwo during the week of new years.
I agree…they still have to put abilities into the game if not then we are pretty much just using the same pokemon wiyh different sprites…i wouldnt want PVP with the current system. I think the next step is to give us quests, shinies and team rocket…thay way we have enough to do while the fix the urban player issue and PVP.
Check out my topic ‘New types of evolution adding into Pokemon GO’ and ‘Limitations on evolution’. It would be great to see these coming out as new features.
To summarize all of our points, we may get Trading, PvP, Villian teams, Expended evolution feature and limitations, quests, harder version of capturing Pokemon, tournaments, abilities and more gens in the future. (Did I miss anything?)
I’m quite sure that Pokemon GO is still in the beginning.
kind off…
