The release of new monsters in Pokémon GO is a highlight for many trainers. The director of Pokémon GO has commented on plans for future monsters.
Who made these statements? Michael Steranka is the Director Live Game
of Pokémon GO. Already in June, Steranka commented to MeinMMO on the recent releases of new monsters.
Now he has again commented in an interview on dotesports.com about how new monsters should be introduced into Pokémon GO. And why this should happen less and less in the wild in the future.
“Considering the wide range of features”
What did the head of Pokémon GO say? The director states in the interview: I think we always try to highlight or consider the natural features of each individual Pokémon.
As an example of this approach, he mentions the recent release of Zwips. This Pokémon consists of two mice. They are always found together and never alone.
This Pokémon was available during the Hyperbonus event both in a limited research task and in field research. However, since the event, it can also be found as a reward from team-play tasks.
Steranka says about this: This is a Pokémon that we thought was perfect for something like team play, where you play in a group with other people. That’s where the Pokémon is currently located.
How is this plan being pursued? This strategy is also to be pursued with future monsters. The Pokémon GO team wants to “consider the wide range of features” for upcoming monster releases, according to Steranka.
While there are still many Pokémon that can be encountered in the wild, there are simply Pokémon and suitable features that are just too perfect to ignore
.
So, it can be expected that new monsters will find their way into the game more and more through features like team play, hatching eggs, or in other ways, rather than simply appearing in the wild.
What do you think about this? Do you find this approach creative and appropriate? Or would you prefer new Pokémon to simply spawn in the wild? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.
