Pokemon go team leader names revealed.JPG

The incredibly successful launch of Pokémon Go around the world marches on, with the game arriving in App Stores in France and Hong Kong over the weekend, with Hong Kong being the first Asian location other than Japan to have the game.

Meanwhile, MacRumors reports that at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, Niantic CEO John Hanke revealed some snippets of information about what new features fans can expect in future updates for the game. It’s fair to say that he didn’t give all that much away, but he did reveal that we can look forward to new Pokémon, and also the ability to be able to trade Pokémon with other players.

The names of the team leaders for Team Mystic, Team Valor, and Team Instinct were also revealed as Blanche, Candela, and Spark, respectively, along with their pictures rather than the silhouettes that appear in the game (because they weren’t finished in time, apparently!). Hanke said that the team leaders will soon be given a more prominent role in the game, communicating with players and offering advice.

Finally, it appears that Nintendo’s recent statement that it didn’t expect the massive success of Pokémon Go to have much impact on its quarterly earnings as it only has 32% of The Pokémon Company didn’t go down very well at all with investors, sending Nintendo stock falling 17% at its lowest point, knocking $6.4 billion off their value, representing Nintendo’s biggest decline since October 1990.
