"[unofficial/ApiDig] Pokemon "follower/pet" incoming in order to farm specific candies"

#PokemonGO: From various pokemon Api explorers on numerous forums/discord channels :There are evidences of a "Buddy" function in the last update that would allow you to make one of your pokemon a follower that would register the distance travelled with you just as an incubated egg would.The code seems to point out that doing so would instantly make this pokemon untranserable and unusable in combat for a set periode of time.It also seems that after a given distance travelled the pokemon will grant "Buddy Candies".The most logical explanation is that Niantic plan to allow us to generate specific candies by just walking with a specific pokemon.It makes sense because the current system is weird : if you want to level up a super rare pokemon (hello snorlax) you need to find it again numerous times.It also could point to a possible release of one or more legendaries becauce i don't think niantic will ask us to find 20 mewtwo in order to level up our first mewtwo. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2bQlVHr
