According to reports, Hanke has not announced concrete details about Pokemon yet but talked about what fans can expect. He said that Pokemon trading and PvP are features which were previously incorporated in Pokemon Go but because of server problems, it wasn't fully integrated.

He added that many deferrals on major features could be due to initial glitches and Niantic still has to fix the basics. Nevertheless, he assures the fans that PvP and trading are on the way. Hanke also has a vision of Niantic live events. He said that he loves events and he wants Niantic to do it this year. "It's complicated, though, to do them at the scale that 'Pokemon GO' demands," he explained.

Players are excited about a possible Pokemon Go update and in-game event. Pokemon Go did not hold an in-game event for the New Lunar Year and fans are now hoping that Niantic will release a Pokemon Go update and in-game event soon.

According to reports, Niantic released new Pokemon Go updates for iOS and Android which were not major but rather small and significant nevertheless. The changes include reduced starting time, text fixes and resolution of connectivity-related issues with the Pokemon Go Plus accessory and iOS wheelchair support for Apple Watch.

Reports claim that a Pokemon Go event is possible, especially because a new batch of Gen 2 pocket monsters are about to come out. All code changes in APK updates seem to lead to the arrival of Gen 2 Pokemon. New Pokemon include Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Espeon, Umbreon, Merrill, Bellossom, and Hoppip. There will also be collectible evolution items, two types of berry and new items to dress up your avatar. The hit game has reportedly made 600 million USD in its first 90 days.
