So, something my son was giving the Pokemon Go app grief over was the ability to have pvp battles... "it's something they had like waaay back" he tells me. I don't know when they officially had it in the Pokemon canon of games, but it's now here for the Pokemon Go app.No longer do you have to fight only at a gym, you can 'fight' your friends!
The new update introduces "Trainer Battles".Now, I'll preface this with the fact that I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
I got the screen and update the other day, but didn't actually get the ability to have the battles.
Plus, it's been work and haven't had a chance to actually have a fight.
But you go into your friend list and then click one and if they're a 'Best' or 'Ultra' friend you can challenge them from wherever you are. If they're less you'll have to be 'near' (not sure how near tho').
When you pick a fight you pick a league (I guess that means more to people who are Poke'fans).
Then have at 'er.
Do you play? What do you think of the trainer battles?
