Pokemon Go: 5 Things We Learned at Comic-Con
Pokemon Go took over the massive Hall H at Comic-Con today, a venue upgrade thanks to the unbelievable success the app has seen so far. John Hanke, CEO of Niantic, took the stage to discuss the game and what we can expect for the future.
While we didn’t get any concrete updates on Mewtwo, the Legendary Birds and the game’s other missing Pokemon, we did learn a lot about Niantic’s current focus, plus which features might be headed to the game once it’s available worldwide and servers are stable.
Pokemon Go Dev Confirms Trading, More Pokemon Are Coming
More Pokemon, trading, Pokemon Centers, and PokeStop customization are all being explored for Pokemon Go, Niantic's John Hanke revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con Pokemon Go panel.
Hanke said right now there's a certain set of Pokemon available, but that over the coming months and years we may see Pokemon from beyond the first generation in Pokemon Go.
Trading is also in development, though Hanke said that it's not ready nor does Niantic have a planned release date for the feature.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have a date for you
" Hanke said. "We’re working really hard to keep the servers up and running... It’s at the top of our priority list."
While adding Pokemon Centers is more of an idea right now, Hanke said that Niantic is working on PokeStop customization so that players can build up an area and use items to change PokeStop functionality.
6 of the Craziest Pokemon Go Stories
Pokemon Go isn't going anywhere. The tremendously popular and successful AR app has invaded popular culture and the real world, with roving bands of friendly trainers taking to the streets to catch them all.
It's not all fun and games, of course. As is the case with any enormous cultural happening, there's bound to be some unusual occurrences to accompany the otherwise normal user experience. Strange tales pop up more regularly than a Pidgey.
Here are 6 such unusual stories.
1. Pokemon Go Players at Risk of Landmines in Bosnia The whole point of Pokemon Go is to get players up and outside, walking around in search of wild pocket monsters. A non-governmental agency in Bosnia is warning players in the region to take especially serious the games start-up screen warning to be aware of your surroundings. The country, a central point in European conflicts for over a century, is littered with landmines left over from the 1990s. While the devices of modern war are a hazard to anyone, the agency is particularly concerned Pokemon Go players may wander into places people generally avoid.
Women of Marvel Panel Spotlights The Agents of SHIELD
Today's Women of Marvel panel at Comic-Con was an energetic discussion of all the incredible contributions women have and will continue to make to the company's creative output. As if the announcement of several new comic lines was not exciting enough, the crowd roared when already announced panelists Content Development Director Sana Amanat, producer Judy Stephens, social media manager Adri Cowan, Marvel Live host Lorraine Cink, writer G. Willow Wilson, and costume designer Ann Foley were joined by three of the stars of Agents of SHIELD Chloe Bennet, Ming-Na Wen, and Elizabeth Henstridge.
The panel began with the announcement of this year's Cosplay Variant cover series, a continuation of last year's very popular series. Several covers were shown while panelists marveled (pardon the pun) at the fact that this fall will see Marvel publish 20 female-led comics including Captain Marvel, Kate Bishop's Hawkeye, The Mighty Thor (Jane Foster), and the All-New Wasp. Special note was also made of Moon Girl, who Amanat announced would soon become "the smartest person in the Marvel universe."
