The sport’s senior product supervisor Tatsuo Nomura informed Polygon at GDC 2017 that the method should happen within the real-world.
“We don’t want to just have that be an online game that you can just exchange virtually,” he informed the location. “You shouldn’t be able to exchange your Pokemon with someone who is 100 miles away from you … The person needs to be in your proximity.”
