Nearly two years after launch, trading is officially coming to Pokemon Go.
Niantic announced this morning that trading will arrive alongside a new Friends system, which will offer various social features online or nearby.
Each player will have their own Trainer Code that they can share with friends to exchange friend requests. Once someone has accepted your friend request, that player will appear on your Friends List, where you can interact in various ways.
In a Q&A for members of the press at E3, Niantic software engineer Kirsten Koa clarified some of the new features surrounding Friends, including trading, special new eggs, a new Gifts feature, and more.
