Where Can Pokemon Go Next?

Pokemon has only been out for one week and users are already looking to the future of the game. Right now the game has millions of people around the world walking aimlessly through their neighborhoods. However, users already want more and more content for Pokemon Go.

Rumors of the next update include more Pokemon from the next generation. For all of those who grew up in the 90s and played all the Pokemon games on Gameboy, the 2nd generation includes Cyndaquile, Totodile, and Chikorita those were all in the games Gold, Silver, and Crystal. This could change the game in many different ways as many Pokemon nerds will finally get their questions answered. Is Cyndaquile better than Charmander? It Pikachu better than Pichu? When will we get to see first generation Pokemon fight and battle against second generation Pokemon?

Another feature that Pokemon Go users are hoping for is a trade function. This could allow for friends of the same team to trade Pokemon to help each other out and take over gyms together.

The most exciting feature that could become a reality would be a battle function. This could allow for random people to run into each other and battle for experience. This could also allow for friends to finally test out and decide who is the ultimate Pokemon Go master. Battle functions could prove to be difficult because you would have to force random people to accept battles from strangers. However, this could definitely become one of the favorite features.

Tournaments could provide an even better competition than just the gym takeovers. Tournaments could be sponsored at certain Pokemon stops throughout the day and winners can win a new 20 kilometer egg or even just bonus experience.

Daily challenges can be another way to spice up Pokemon Go. Although there are already challenges in place they don't change on a daily basis. So having random daily challenges like check into 10 different Pokestops. Take over one Gym today. Win a battle with a weaker combat powered Pokemon. Then there can be some that are geared towards the exercise initiative that Pokemon has undertaken. Like complete a 5 km egg in 40 minutes or travel 10 km in an hour.

More Pokemon in secret places. For example, right now I can walk in the city or any downtown area and I will find hundreds of Pokemon all over my downtown just by walking back and forth for 20 or so minutes. However, I went to my local park and started walking around one of the paths and I found maybe 10 Pokemon in the same amount of time. I would like to see maybe less Pokemon check ins in the residential and more of them out in parks and in nature. That way we get kids out in nature more than just going into downtown areas.

Lastly is a share function. This could be used to share your latest catch and share your location via Facebook or Twitter. That way other Pokemon masters can see where some of these more rare Pokemon are located. Or you can brag about your most recent Snorlax or hatching a legendary Pokemon.

Pokemon Go has the potential to be as big as any social media and I think will last throughout my lifetime and eventually will turn into holograms in front of our faces.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
