Pokémon GO made some waves at the San Diego Comic-Con, and fans of the mobile game are about to get some important details about their teams and more.
First off, you should know that no new legendary Pokémon came out at the event, and the confirmation comes straight from the helm of Niantic Labs, John Hanke.
Hanke did reveal an important aspect at the video game panel, though, in form of the leaders for Team Instinct, Team Mystic and Team Valor. However, you may first want to have a look at this handy guide to what each team stands for.

The leader of Team Valor is Candela, who wears a white jacket with red highlights mirroring the team's color. Members of Team Mystic will see Blanche as their leader, who rocks a pair of glamorous shoes with a long blue trench coat. Team Instinct is the only one that is being led by a male character. Meet Spark, who wears a gold-colored hoodie and a black jacket, with matching gold gloves to boot.
Pokémon GO's fans did get confirmation of another rumor. Word was that an Eevee evolution will get its name from the Eevee brothers from the Pokémon cartoon, and it seems that it came to be.
Player can name their Eevee Pyro, Rainer and Sparky before they evolve the critter to get Flareon, Vaporeon or Jolteon.
After spilling the beans about this particular detail, Hanke told the audience that Niantic is paying close attention to all its fans' suggestions. One good reason for that is that the feedback from the community could massively help the developers improve the game.
One suggestion that Niantic is pondering upon is Pokémon trading, a feature that was essential in the console games. Another is the ability to breed Pokémon, as well as working on PokeGyms and PokeStops. Fans also recommend to introduce foreign objects able to modify how a Pokestop functions.
Players also suggest that PokeCenters be introduced that allow teams to tailor their PokeStops for team play. Predictably, fans are ever asking for new, limited quantity Pokémon to be added to the mobile game.
"It's stuff that's not in Pokémon GO today, but is something we are working on bringing to the product," Hanke says.
However, Hanke underlines that for the moment, his company focuses on keeping the servers running, patching up the glitches and continuing to roll out the game in more markets.
He adds that Niantic is confident in the Pokémon GO's longevity, and as such, it plans that the game grows over an extended timeline.
