"The buddy system seems like the first part of a more traditional pokemon combat system"

#PokemonGO: It seems like the buddy system is the UI part of a more traditional pokemon combat system.All they would have to do is add in a button for calling your buddy. He comes out does an attack, takes some damage and raises the capture rate of the attacked pokemon.Besides making a lot of fans happy, it would also make potions / revives useful for people who don't do much gym battling.Edit: Minor text fixes. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2c6J1vl
