Pokémon GO Finally Brings Team Changes – That’s How It Works

In Pokémon GO you can soon change the team! Niantic confirms that this feature will be introduced in a matter of days.

A request from many players:  The team change was desired by many players and now Niantic finally implements this feature.

If you chose the wrong team and could not take on arenas with your friends, that will change now. With the team change in Pokémon GO, every player can now change his team.

This is known about the team change

When can I change? Niantic calls the start time for the team changes February 26th. From 22 o’clock an item will be available in the shop, which allows you to change.

How does the change work? In order to change, you have to buy the team medallion in the game’s in-game shop. Only by this item is a change possible.

How expensive is the team change? This item costs 1000 poké coins, which corresponds to about 10 euros. After purchasing the medallion, you can use the item and do the team change.

How often can you change teams? You can not change your team daily. In 365 days a change is only possible once. If you decide on a different team, you have to swear loyalty to the team for at least a year.

You have to keep that in mind:  If you still have Pokémon in areas that still need gold, then you should wait a bit. When you change teams, all your Pokémon will return to you. So you will not be sitting in any arenas anymore. You will not receive any coins for the return.

What do you think about the team change? Will you change your color?

Pokémon GO also wants to change the special research: These goals are pursued:

Pokémon GO Is Planning To Make Changes To Special Research

When new special research comes in Pokémon GO, the tasks are probably a bit different. That’s what Niantic says.

What is it about? The special research in Pokémon GO is a special order series that players can do. There is also a story to follow. In the end, a special reward awaits you like the mystical Pokémon Mew. This is only possible through this specialized research, not in the wild.

In the future, the form in which the special research takes place could change. An employee of Niantic explains that there is still working on the Fine-Tuning.

Who spoke there? Matt Slemon is Product Manager at Niantic and spoke in an interview with Polygon about the past, present, and future of Pokémon GO.

What did he say? As Polygon reports, changes to the special research are likely planned. It seems like they want to do tasks in the future that keep the players in mind.

With regard to the special research, Slemon says in an interview:

We try to find out what the right amount of it is. Part of the specialized research we’ve published has definitely been a bit overwhelming for some of our casual players. In terms of simply flooding them with research.

Our intention is to make it so that the storylines are not just checklists. So you do not go through four or five of them at the same time and do not even remember which task belongs to which specialized research or why.

What does the statement mean? That sounds like Pokémon GO will be hosting special research in the future, whose tasks will then really fit the theme. And have more meaning.

Maybe there will be less individual tasks in the future, but a larger thematic reference to the tasks that exist. But that will show up.

What do the players say? On Reddit, the interview is already being discussed diligently.

Negative falls on the previous special research on that you had to catch certain species for some tasks but appeared only a short time more often in the wild. So the user writes tehstone:

I think the big complaint was the need to catch or develop species that are actually very rare but more common only at the time of publication of the specialty research. 
This definitely created a “Hurry or you have problems” feeling

As an example on Reddit also Ditto is called. It was still easy to catch at the beginning of the special research when Niantic provided more Ditto spawns. Those who arrived at the point of research only after the increased spawns, had to look weeks or months after Ditto.

What changes would you like to make to the special research in Pokémon GO?
