Fans are dying to know whether Niantic has plans to bring the highly requested addition of Legendary Pokemon Mew and Mewtwo including the Legendary Bird trio, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Hanke said, "I can say with certainty that we will see more of that this year."

The big boss of Niantic further revealed a couple of features that will be getting a major overhaul via the next update for "Pokemon Go". These said features involve the gym battles and playing together. Hanke pointed out that when players share one common goal, that would strongly motivate them to play with friends as well as meet other people.
