Pokémon Go finally adds a feature that fans have wanted for years ...Middle East

Ever since the game launched, way back in 2016, Pokémon Go has been regularly updated with new content and seasonal goodies. But this new feature has been a long time coming, to say the least.

So, what’s the new feature being added? It is… remote trades!

Yep, that’s right. With this new update, players will finally be able to trade Pokémon with one another without having to be in the same place at the same time.

So, how will this new feature work? It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Niantic is going to make you work for those remote trades!

This new level of friendship is one step higher than ‘Best Friends’, the previous highest level, and we’re sure that you’ll need to send a lot of gifts back and forth before you become Forever Friends.

It’s worth noting that you’ll need to earn more friendship points — by continuing to interact through battles, trades and gifts — if you want to earn additional remote trades with the same person.

You’ll have to use “A special Remote Trade tag” to mark the Pokémon that you’re willing to trade. When you initiate the trade, you can pick three tagged Pokémon from your friend’s list. You’ll then each get the final say on which Pokémon you’re going to part with.

So, when are these remote trades starting? A “phased rollout” has already begun, with players in New Zealand being able to use the feature from Monday 8th December.
