"Updated usage of Pokemon buddy"

#PokemonGO: When the buddy system was first released, it was a godsend for obtaining candies from pokemon otherwise not seen. Since the advent of rare candies, this benefit has been severely diminished and in many cases not very helpful. My idea:Allow added benefits such as a passive from your selected buddy pokemon depending on type. These benefits can provide small bonuses and be individualized to the pokemon or broadly applied to the elemental type class (dual typing will have one assigned bonus).For example: If you walk a fire type like magmar, his ability could be flame body Player experiences decreased hatching time by 10% Grass types: Growth- Increased experience gained by 5% Electric types: Paralysis- Pokemon encounters are paralyzed and easier to catch (similar to nanab berry usage). Psychic types: Telekinesis- Increased range to spin and catch pokemon. Fighting: Sparring- Increased damage dealt to gyms by 10% Dragon: Aura - Increased chance of having other dragon types spawn Fairy: Meteor Shower- Increased stardust per catch by 10%Pokemon buddy switches could only occur once a day if the player wants to switch and the resulting bonus can be tiered depending on eithera) The trainers level b) The pokemon's level that they are walking c) The distance the pokemon has been walkedThis last part could be used as an incentive to stick with your same buddy for better benefits, or to walk your most powerful type for the best bonus. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2KZTyIP
