'Pokemon GO' Trading system release date; rumors suggest an October release

It seems that the Augmented Reality game "Pokemon GO" has been losing some players in the past months, and now Niantic has finally released some much-awaited updates that may help retain its dwindling number of players. 

According to the Counsel & Heal, it is possible that the highly-anticipated update will be released sometime next month. The update is expected to include the trading system feature, which a lot of players have been asking for ever since the game was released. Aside from that, it is also possible for the new update to include a fix for the game's tracking system, which a lot of players have been complaining about due to the fact that it is broken.

Of course, the hype for the updates' arrival on October is palpable, but it is not yet clear how the trading system will work. After all, this is only possible through the use of an internet connection, but as to how it will specifically be facilitated is still unclear.

The reason for this purported release is due to the fact that some of the more dedicated fans have been working their way through the game's code and have discovered some of the features that Niantic is planning to introduce soon. According to NeuroGadget, some of the users have found some code that could mean that trading is allowed between players despite great distances. However, without Niantic's confirmation, it is still impossible to determine whether or not the code depicts the exact mechanic of the trading system feature.

These code pieces include phrases like "Trade_offer" as well as "Trade_search," which could possibly mean that players will be able to search for players open for trade and make a general trade offer for it. However, it is also possible for Niantic to add a private trade function if this rumor proves to be true.
