Pokémon Go Teases Trainer Versus Trainer Battles

This morning, the official Pokémon Go twitter account tweeted an image that raises a lot of questions.

The image shows your standard Pokémon Go trainer standing on what appears to be a makeshift arena, like what you would see in the core games or anime when one trainer battles another. This could be a tease for battles against NPC trainers, but the more likely conclusion to jump to is it's a tease for players versus player battles – something that has been conspicuously absent from Pokémon Go since its release in 2016.

Our Take
When the game originally launched, players (and I include myself in this group) were flabbergasted that Pokémon Go game did not have trading and battling.

I am personally not interested in battling other Pokémon Go trainers, but if this is in fact what Niantic is teasing, it's definitely a big deal and something that is long overdue for the game.

However, Wolfenstein is more than just a stepping stone. Over the years the pulpy WW2 has changed several developers’ hands, constantly transmuting and bouncing all over the place tone-wise, but has never lost its identity, even when both Medal of Honor and Call of Duty arrived, choosing to wallow about in arcadey violence instead of following the more realistic and procedural design of more modern WWII titles for two decades. With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus out in a few weeks’ time, we thought it pertinent
