Demand Niantic to Extend Pokémon Go Trading Range

The Issue

I have been a dedicated player of Pokémon Go for years, yet the game's trading system has always been a source of frustration. Despite living in an era where social media connects us with people from all corners of the globe, we are unable to fully engage with them in this mobile game due to restrictive trading range limits. Currently, players must be within 100 meters of each other to trade Pokémon - a rule that severely hampers the global potential and spirit of this game.

The essence of Pokémon Go is about exploration and connection. However, it seems contradictory that while we can make friends worldwide through this platform, we cannot trade with them unless they are physically nearby. This limitation not only restricts our gameplay but also undermines the very concept of a "mobile" game.

It's time for Niantic to listen and act upon its user base's demands. We urge Niantic to extend the trading range limitlessly so that players can truly enjoy global interaction and engagement in their gaming experience.

With over 1 billion downloads globally as per Sensor Tower data (2020), imagine how much more engaging and inclusive Pokémon Go could be if these restrictions were lifted!

Niantic, it’s time you gave your users what they want – limitless range for trading. Sign this petition if you believe in breaking down barriers in our global gaming community.
