Looking ahead, summer speculations

The adventurers' week is coming to a close, as is the month of May. So, what does the coming summer have in store for us? Summer is, after all, the obvious season for playing Pokemon Go.

Niantic has announced some kind of major gym revamp as the second out of four major changes to the game during 2017. The first was the release of generation 2. In order to have room for another three early summer looks like a good time to implement said revamp.

Recently we got the cryptiv message that summer will be legendary. If nothing else it's an indication that legendary pokemon might be on their way.

There is data in the code referring to 'raid'. What 'raid' means is unclear, but the word definitely implies something done in a group.

Associated with the information about raids goes an implicit implementation of push data. The information available explicitly states something about raids in your vincinity, but more interesting in the long term is the word 'vincinity'. It opens up future implementations of things happening near you, but outside the small space within which you can catch pokemon.

In any way, enjoy the warmth and start walking.
