Business Insider reports that one day trainers will be able “customize their functions” meaning that we can finally change the appearance of our avatars, same goes for customizing Pokéstops and Gyms. They also report that there will be some sort of global leader board and that the games augmented technology will be improved.
Pokémon GO might be coming to AR dedicated devices such as Microsoft HoloLens but nothing is confirmed for the time being. When the subject of AR devices came up, Hanke’s response was: “That may be a fun thing to take advantage of”.
