Pokeballs
Since Pokemon Gold/Silver there have been an addition of a great number of different pokeballs to the games.
Apricorn
This is an Apricorn. Apricorns special fruits that are native to the Johto region. They appear to be related to Berries, and are encountered only in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver.
Apricorn Collection
In the games/anime you would collect apricorns and bring them to to a man named Kurt, who was basically a pokeball blacksmith to craft pokeballs.
Apricorn Colors
These Apricorns came in 7 different colors each one creating a different type of pokeballs, which were more proficient at capturing different types of Pokemon.
Fastballs
For example during the anime Kurt gives Ash, Misty, and Brock each one fastball. Fast balls are made from red Apricorns which are used to catch Pokémon which run away quickly and easily. Given how quickly Pokemon seem to flee these days, these could come in useful in Pokemon Go.
Apricorns in Game
Adding Apricorn trees to the game would add an extra feature. Something to grab anywhere you would find trees.
Apricorn Minigame
The game is about encouraging you to get outdoors. But it would be nice if you had something to do in idle time. Crafting your own pokeballs from collected Apricorns with a small minigame would give Trainers something fun to do when you can't be out catching them all.

You want something from the game in Pogo? you would have to add substance instead of screen mashing to it to get that kind of thing.

No one knows what Master Balls are made from, fyi. Kurt only makes specialty balls.

I never got into the acron business. Seemed like too much work for little reward

You don't understand. Pokemon GO isn't about the consumer having fun. It's about them getting tired of pokestops and spending money.
mrhatnklogs
Patience is a virtue. Gonna be playing this game for months. With all the money they're making ofc they'll fix it and even add some features

I always upvote Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver. Still my favorit Pokemon game to date :D
ClonePH
This is a very good idea. Gen 3 is coming so I hope Niantic sees this post.
Caribbean992
They need to remake crystal!
ModernWanderer
I like it, send it to niantic! Spam them! Did you create a reddit post for this already! What are you still reading for! Go go go!
idontevenknowsillymonkey
That's actually a really awesome idea and an interesting element they could add to the game. With the issues they've had with even base 1/2
idontevenknowsillymonkey
features, though, I'm not that hopeful that something like this would come to fruitation.

Hey @OP Fast Balls are made from white apricorns.
BayazTheBenevolent
lol, OP talking about adding new features when all Niantic has done so far was to remove features. (And make minor text fixes)

The little red fruit looks like a dog penis.

Yo. Huge fan of Pokemon but hate Pokemon GO. I want to become an Apricorn farmer/gatherer, pretty please?
NerdN1
I don't play Pokemon GO, but from what I hear there are a number of features and bug fixes that should probably take priority over this.

I was recently watching Johto Champions and I am pretty sure the fast ball was made from the white apricorn.
DrFreakBerg
Yeah they won't add anything like this

People don't seem to realize that now that the hooks are buried now starts the freemium blood milking. God help their poor mobile souls.
Jusmar
They don't need freemium when they have your daily shopping, eating, and movement habits recorded with video of your area/home/work.
jackpkmn
You think they are gonna say no to milking it harder?
Jusmar
If that creeps you out ignore the CEOs connections with In-Q-Tel, The CIAs venture capital firm on geospatial Intel.
Jusmar
There's so much data to analyze there they can just sell that right now and live like kings.

The new encryptions were cracked today. Some scanners will likely be up by tomorrow morning.

I'll be content either way. I have enjoyed Pokemon Go for what it is ! :)

Johto always was and always will be my favorite region.

Also Fast balls were white apricorns.
PorneliusHubertII
kanto is my alltime favorite. cant beat the classics man.

I agree and completely forget about the apricorns

Hoenn region best region

Hoenn supremacy! Blaziken is so badass.

Have you ever looked at a Cyndaquil? Let alone a god damn Larvitar? that shit is adorable.
metaspy
For all we know this is in the game, but the "johto" region is Japan only
guiltyviper
What do you mean by this? I've played through crystal which takes place in Johto. Definitely not Japan only
Emby
Johto is literally inside Japan. The 4th Gym's city is based on Kyoto. Ingame region maps overlap with various real world places.
metaspy
I mean we are in countries other than Japan right now, for all we know there are region specific nuances
nvrCryWolf13
if anything they might either add the apricorns to the pokestops or the additional balls there. I know theyre adding metal coat to the stops
SlothOfDanger
For what? Evolving pokemon?
nvrCryWolf13
metal coat is to evolve certain pokemon like onix or scythe into steelix and scizor
SlothOfDanger
Well yeah I know in the main series, but how would they do that in GO, through trading still?
nvrCryWolf13
it's a required item when evolving. it'll show the number of candies plus item needed.like onix needs 100 candies and metal coat for steelix
SlothOfDanger
Ah, makes sense
