Niantic aims to make "Pokémon Go" more exciting and interesting to play for all the players all around the world. This resulted in the creation of the "Pokémon Go" buddy system that is expected to be released next week.

The creative company made an official announcement on September 2. The Pokémon Go Development Team stated on its website that the next addition to Pokémon Go will be the Buddy Pokémon, according to Game N Guide.

So, how does the Buddy System work? This new buddy feature allows the player to pick any pocket monster he likes and they can both travel together or follow you around to hunt or go to Pokestops and gyms. The said cute and a little creature will be roaming outside of its Pokeball. It is definitely fun and by just wandering together with your buddy little creature, you can earn some Candies. You can also have extra bonuses and other various rewards and experiences.

According to Forbes, in a buddy system, it plugs up some of those annoying late-game holes that occur when you cannot get sufficient Growlithe candies to save your life. There is also that friendly connection between the player and his Pokémon as they explore the world together and conquer the adventure by themselves. This would be a great experience!

So, who could be the right and best buddy for you? The player can choose any little creature he likes to be his buddy. On the other hand, it is advisable that you choose the ones that can develop into rare creatures or just simply go for the rare pocket monsters.

The Pokémon Go Hub recommends best buddies such as Kabuto, Omanyte, Grimer, Charmeleon/Charmander and Dratini/Dragonair. You can earn one candy for every two kilometers distance by just walking with any of them. Once having 100 to 125 candies, Dratini can be developed into a Dragonite and Charmeleon into a Charizard. Other best choices are Haunter, Gloom, Wartortle/Squirtle and Machoke.
