Polygon recently spoke with Niantic product manager Matt Slemon about all things Pokemon GO. Slemon talked about the mobile game’s past, present, and future.

As for what lies ahead, Slemon said that Pokemon GO is almost at “the point where our original launch trailer promise has been delivered”. While there will be “small iterations to our existing features”, the team is now going to concentrate a bit less on traditional Pokemon features and focus on “features that are more about really showing what it means to be an AR real-world game”.
