Pokémon GO hasn't been even been out for a week (or at all in some regions), but Niantic is already planning for the future of the game; in a recent interview, Niantic CEO John Hanke talked about the features that will be coming down the line. One feature that fans are clamoring for is the ability to trade Pokémon with others; Hanke described trading as "a core element" and stated that it will be implemented in such a way as to encourage interactions between players in the real and virtual worlds.

Hanke also said that the game's PokéStops and Gyms currently exist in their "very most basic versions" and that in the future players would be able to "customize their functions in other ways." He also stated that a global leaderboard would be implemented so that players can compete to be the very best, and that Niantic is working on improvements to the games augmented reality functionality. He also hinted that Pokémon GO could be modified for true augmented reality devices like Google Glass and Microsoft HoloLens at some point.
