Luckily, Niantic has already said that they are planning to add more social features to Pokemon Go in future updates. Another thing that we found missing from Pokemon Go is integration of social features, such as the ability to add friends, local leaderboards and public profiles. Pokemon Go should also allow players to head out in the search of Pokemon together with their friends, gaining extra XP for things they do in groups. With enough friends, we can even start our own local tournament, and battle friends to emerge as winners! How cool would it be if Pokemon Go automatically brought in your friends from Facebook, Twitter and Google+ that are playing the game, and allowed us to view what Pokemon they have captured, or maybe even challenge them to a battle?
