Niantic boss John Hanke has told TechCrunch that the developer talks “quite a lot about” player-versus-player (PvP) action in Pokémon Go.
“I have 10 year old son – he’s my Pokémon expert, we play together – he wants to battle his friends in Pokémon Go,” Hanke said.
“Battling is something we talk a lot about. It’s probably something that will make its way onto our roadmap.”
As you may expect, there’s no timeframe on — or official confirmation of — the addition.
