In "Buddy Adventure," you can not only interact with your "Buddy"
(a Pokémon of your choice from your collection) by feeding it
berries and giving it virtual pats on the head, but you'd also be
able to see your friends' Pokémon at the same time. You can then
interact with them,
Basically, you and your friends would need to have the feature
enabled and be in the same location for it to work.
之后的 "Buddy Adventure" 功能，让你可以玩弄附近朋友的 Buddy。
不过没提到会有什么好处。
另外虽然台湾已经开放了，
文章中也提到 Niantic Wayfarer 下周开放给所有 LV 40 的宝可梦玩家。
