As for PokeStop Showcases, trainers will be able to submit their Pokemon to contests at certain PokeStops around the world. Each Showcase will have a different category that trainers will compete in to earn the top spot.
For the first PokeStop Showcase, the category will be to see which trainer can submit the biggest Pokemon.
The other feature teased in the blog post is Route Creation. Not much is known about this feature, though Niantic has called it “a brand new way for Trainers to explore the world around them.”
The Summer Game Fest demos will be available from June 9 to June 10, 2023, so those trainers attending the event who also happen to be fans of Pokemon Go should take advantage of the opportunity to see what’s in store for the mobile game in the months to come.
