Soon you will be able to pick a Pokemon Buddy to travel around with while playing Pokemon GO.
This news was confirmed today following recent reports that the feature was coded into the game but not set live.
For those that have not heard about the 'Buddy System,' Pokemon GO's Development Team have issued the following statement:
"The next addition to Pokémon GO will be Buddy Pokémon. You will be able to pick your favorite Pokémon from your collection to become your buddy, opening up unique in-game rewards and experiences.
"Buddy Pokémon will appear alongside your Trainer avatar on your profile screen, adding helpful bonuses such as awarding Candy for walking together. You’ll also have the ability to change your Buddy Pokémon at any time."
The Pokemon GO Live statement also advised gamers to keep track of their website for updates, with more features set to be revealed in the future. If you would like to head over to their site, click here.
