[Suggestion] Add new Buddy Pokémon feature

[PenaPP]

There is an upcoming update 0.37.0 for Android and 1.7.0 for iOS that is supposed to bring Buddy Pokémon feature. More info here: http://pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/en/post/ver-update-091016/

I have seen that the API already contains some relevant code (https://github.com/ST-Apps/PoGo-UWP/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Buddy), it would be nice to see the feature in PoGo as well ;)

the issues tab is for issues with the pogo app not for suggestions

[Dragoncat4]

Sometimes suggestions were present and accepted. I think it's good idea to let know to devs that certain features are active in official app.

[WavingLawyer644]

@Dragoncat4 ok i saw that before devs accepting peoples suggestions but i did not receive the buddy pokemon update yet still have not tested the buddy system yet and the Pokemon GO Plus Support Feature i think that the devs will accept this suggestion and merge a dev created code into PoGo so we will have Buddy pokemon and i hope that the devs adds Pokemon Go Plus support or MS Band Support just my suggestions

[PenaPP]

@angelo1979 I also wasn't sure about placing it here, but while I have seen other suggestions among them, I decided to submit that as well. Anyway I think that MS Band support is already one of the pull requests, but it looks like it is not finished yet... https://github.com/ST-Apps/PoGo-UWP/pull/1159

[WavingLawyer644]

@PenaPP yeah i remember seeing that pull request

[ST-Apps]

Closing because we already have our roadmap.

Things will be added when we can (we all have a life to carry on, we don't work 24/7 on this project :))

[WavingLawyer644]

so i would think this will not be in the next PoGo Update these Devs work so much to keep a app running

[djeliam]

When will be the new update

[WavingLawyer644]

@djeliam i don't know only the devs know when it's time to release a update i'm not a dev i ain't working on bug fixes or issue fixes

[Dragoncat4]

@ST-Apps just keep in mind that it's basicaly the same as eggs and walk distance is calculated. What is missing is the obtaining of candy. (I just tested it, I walked 5 km on PoGo and it counted, but had to log on official app to gain candy).

[WavingLawyer644]

@Dragoncat4 you have it tested it on a debugged app of the PoGo app

[Dragoncat4]

The last version, 0.29 iirc. Applied buddy in official app and then walked in 0.29

[WavingLawyer644]

@Dragoncat4 oh ok thats cool

[lmcarreiro]

@ST-Apps you said that you have a Roadmap... could you put it in a wiki page here on github?

[WavingLawyer644]

@lmcarreiro the devs should put the roadmap on wiki page or somewhere on github

[PenaPP]

@ST-Apps Placing roadmap on some public place would be nice :)

@Dragoncat4 How did you obtain that new official version? I can only see old version on both Google Play and iTunes yet. Anyway it looks like it shouldn't need much work to make it working in PoGo (I guess mostly UI work will be needed).

[WavingLawyer644]

the update for iTunes App Store is not out yet. i did not get the update yet i wish i got it but did not receive it yet. for the google play store it's not available to update yet. you will have to download a APK for latest Version of Pokemon go. but for the Latest Version PoGo App is .29 so no new version yet i wish they released a new version.

[PenaPP]

@angelo1979 You should use more punctuation in your sentences :) But I guess I got your point - even though we can only see version 0.35.0 on Google Play, we can download APK of version 0.37.0 (https://apkpure.com/pokemon-go/com.nianticlabs.pokemongo). Thanks

[WavingLawyer644]

@PenaPP ok i will put punctuation's all over my comments.Thanks
