As check in the promotional image released via thePokémon GoTwitter story , Team Valor will be led by Candela , Team Mystic will be headed by Blanche , and Team Instinct will be guided by Spark .
you could also expect somemajor change coming to Pokéstops , an area Hanke seemed to recover peculiarly interesting , per the written report .

In other speech , it seems like they ’re only just getting originate . Unfortunately , Hanke did n’t offer a specific timeline of when the novel features and updates will become available and suggest the company ’s adult antecedency is improving the plot ’s wildly unreliable server electrical capacity .
" I do n’t have a date for you , " he said . " We ’re working really hard to keep the waiter up and running . We ’re working on it , but its gon na take a little longer . "
Basically , there ’s a good chance thePokémon Gocraze is n’t going anywhere .
