-Aiming for mid 2019
-New mechanic(Z move Mega equivalent) Boost Abilities(beta name), once per battle get a stronger version of an Abilitiy, examples:
-Flame Body and Poison Point increase chance to 60%
-Serene Grace 2.5x chance
-Overgrow Blaze Torrent Swarm etc when full health moves 0.5x pow 50% health 1.5x pow caps at 2x pow at 10%
-Italy region
-Has new gym/trial replacment, currently under the name Challenge Quest
-There will be 8 Challenges
-How Challenge works: You go into a large dungeon, inside a tree for grass, underwater for Water, etc, and basically have traverse it. Then, you have a battle with the Challenge Master, which is sorta like a Gym Battle but there is no healing items on either side, battle style is on set, all Pokemon level 50, and it's equal terms, like if they have 3 Pokemon, then you can only pick 3 to use.
-Pokemon follow you, you can talk to them to go to Pokemon Amie/Refresh equivalent, and you can talk to them to go to action mode, where they, depending on the Pokemon, have some sort of special effect. Most Water types are Surf Dive and Whirlpool combined, most Flying fly you and you have the option to soar with most fully evolved Flying types, Pokemon with sharp parts are Cut, etc. You unlock a lot of these effects in story and it teaches your Pokemon how to use them, so you can't catch the early bird Pokemon and instantly be able to Fly. The game is still in mostly planning and model creating, so that's pretty much all I have.
