When Pokemon Go launched in 2016, it revolutionized both the Pokemon series and the world of gaming. Despite being quite simple in its early days, the game quickly attracted a massive player base. Over time, Pokemon Go has grown with new features, a wider variety of Pokemon to catch, and more players exploring the real world. Now, after years of requests from fans, the developers have finally added a long-awaited feature.
The new Forever Friends update for Pokemon Go now lets players trade Pokemon with friends no matter where they are in the world! This is a big change for the game, making it much easier to connect with other players, collect all the Pokemon, and be part of the worldwide Pokemon Go community.
This update introduces Friendship Points, a new system for measuring how close you are with other Trainers. You can earn up to one point per day with each friend by battling, trading, sending gifts, or teaming up in Raids. Plus, weekly challenges offer even more opportunities to boost your Friendship Points.
After you’ve become good friends with another player – shown by earning enough Friendship Points – you can use a special tag to list Pokémon you’re willing to trade. If both of you have reached this level of friendship, you’ll be able to see each other’s tagged Pokémon and trade them remotely. Both players need to confirm the trade, but if you agree, the Pokémon will be exchanged.
Pokemon Go has some limits on which Pokemon can be traded with others remotely. Here’s a list of those restrictions:
- Pokémon caught in the last 30 days
- Previously traded Pokémon
- Shadow Pokémon
- Mythical Pokémon
- Pokémon defending Gyms or Power Spots
- Pokémon currently set as your buddy
- Actively Mega-Evolved Pokémon
- Fused Pokémon
- Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta
- Pokémon placed at Pokémon Playgrounds
The video game industry is now focused on regularly updating games after they’ve launched, particularly for games that are constantly updated or played on mobile devices. Instead of releasing a finished game on a disc, developers now often release games with plans to add content and features later. This can sometimes mean games launch feeling unfinished or with less content than players expect. However, when developers continue to support the game, it can ultimately become a fantastic experience.
