Update: More Pokémon! A new rumor suggests 100 extra Pokémon, including those elusive legendary types, will be launching by the end of December 2016.
Check out everything else we know about what's coming in Pokémon Go:
Pokémon Go has been out for almost six months now, and while the app has progressed a lot in this time - just remember how unstable the servers when it launched - there's still lots more work to be done.
Some of these features are ones that developer Niantic spoke about prior to the release of the game, while others have been promised since the game's release.
One feature in particular, the 'Nearby' functionality, is something that Niantic removed from the game to reduce the load on its servers, and we've yet to see its proposed replacement rolled out globally.
Without further ado, here's our guide to every new update rumors as well as the tweaks promised by Niantic so far.
Pokémon Go rumors
The latest rumor is Niantic is almost ready to launch the next batch of Pokémon upon the unsuspecting public. A second generation of monsters is rumored to be landing in the game by the end of December 2016, but Niantic has yet to confirm an official date.
After the launch of Ditto earlier in November 2016, rumors began suggesting the next batch of monsters, which may include some of the legendary generation one Pokémon, we've all been waiting for.
The Silph Road dug into the code of the Pokémon Go app and reports it expects Niantic to update the app in the coming weeks.
Fingers crossed you'll be training a Chikorita very soon.
Tracking feature
When Pokémon Go first launched it included the 'three-steps' feature, which displayed a number of steps to show you how close or far away you were to a nearby Pokémon.
However, when Niantic's servers were experiencing server difficulties in the wake of Pokémon Go's overwhelming popularity, the feature was disabled.
Since then we've seen a new tracker roll out across the US, Canada and Australia but there's still no news of a worldwide update. Those in the UK are hoping for the feature to roll out as soon as possible.
Trading
Trading was a key component in the original games, but it's remained absent from Pokémon Go despite repeated assurances that the feature is on its way.
In the beta, trading was a local-only affair, meaning that you couldn't trade with players over the internet, but Niantic hasn't yet confirmed how it expects trading to work in the final game.
We can't wait for trading to make its way into the game. It always feels like a bit of a waste transferring rare Pokémon just because they're a duplicate, and it'll be great being able to put them to use.

Player-vs-player battling
Another feature that's been rumored for some time is battling between players.
As it currently stands the only battling functionality in the game is between players and opposing gyms, but since before the game's release Niantic has been promising that PvP battling is coming.
