I would love to see

- Bug fixes (goes without saying really)
- Trading between players
- Pokemon breeding as a way to produce high IV eggs (you'd breed your best to your best)
- Battling giving a small boost to a winning Pokemon (perhaps equivalent to 1/4 a stardust power up)
- Battling between players
- More Pokestops/gyms in suburban/rural areas
- Later generations of Pokemon being released
- Inclusion of very rare shiny Pokemon

I'd love to see some mechanism in the gyms to enable lower level characters to actually effectively take part, maybe have a tiered system of gym occupation? Not sure how that would work with the teams but Niantic is smart I'm sure they could figure something out. As it is people are going to be shut out pretty soon with just those who have the time/interest to level to the max levels getting a look in. I'm fine with top honors going to top players but you need to make the gyms accessible to everyone in a meaningful way.

I'd also love to see a way to cut short the cut sequences and a way to disengage in a battle. It gets really irritating if your battling a particularly recalcitrant rattata and there's a buzz that tells you a, potentially rare, pokemon has popped up.

Do you mean from gyms or from wild Pokemon? Because you can definitely run away from fights with wild Pokemon as I often do when a zubat is being stubborn :P

Personally, I'd love to see:
Trading
A Pokemon Amie type feature for more intractability with our Pokemon
Battling between trainers

Niantic are already taking requests for PokeStops but I would like to see more stops in rural areas :)

Later generation Pokemon. Tired of generation I. We moved on from that 16 years ago, you know.
A better system to level up/evolve Pokemon than running into it and catching it so many times.
Pokemon Amie.

I would like to see these changes:

Gym Training: be able to select a specific monster to fight present at the Gym instead of working your way up from the bottom

Poke Balls: more higher level Poke Balls as you increase your level. Since the XP points rise exponentially, increase the percentage of higher Poke Balls at the Poke Stops

Higher XP Levels should get their power respected: at level 22, a CP 80 Pidgey should not be able to deflect 3 poke balls and break out of a 4th ...

And a way to find TMs for customizing pokemon
THIS. It's so disappointing saving up tons of candy to evolve a super strong Pidgeotto and then have the Pidgeot come out knowing Steel Wing or something. Likewise for mega rare Pokémon, finally hatching a rare Magmar from an egg and then not being able to use it as it knows Karate Chop is just ugh.

I wanna put a top hat and a coat on my pikachu before I leave him at a gym..
Ahahah I love this idea. Do you think they'll ever do Pokémon fashion like this? Imagine a giant Squirtle on top of a gym with a monocle and tuxedo on ♥

New gens of Pokemon please. we need more
It has been confirmed over the weekend that Pokemon from other generations will be implemented in future updates of the game, since they do want every Pokemon obtainable eventually. Launching with just 1st Gen Pokemon was likely a testing ground and to celebrate the 20th anniversary.

Speaking of what I want to see implemented - shiny Pokemon. If finding a shiny was already an exciting experience in the main games then I'm sure it'll be in GO as well.
Gone forever for personal reasons.

I would love if they did away with the fleeing of Pokemon. Only some Pokemon can teleport or run away in the games, but not every Pokemon.
I know this is so annoying. I tried catching a Tentacool earlier today, but it broke out the ball and ran away. This feels like the safari zone, and I was never a fan of it.
One does not simply get too old for Pokemon
If everyone would stop wonder trading Zigazagoon's that would be great

I basically resort to rebooting the app, is there another way to stop the process?

When trying to catch a wild Pokemon, there is a button in the top left that looks like a little man running with wind behind him. Tap that and you will abandon the wild Pokemon and go back to the overhead map. The Pokemon will still be there on the map in case you want to retry :)

I was thinking about this earlier and I'd like something to happen with the cool button colours Easter egg in the menu. This is the cool glitch where if you keep the Pokéball icon held down as the menu loads and then keep your finger pressed down whilst scrolling over the various menu buttons, they'll all appear different colours. The colours seem to represent the three legendary birds with a purple one thrown in (Ditto? Mew?), so I'd love for them to add some sort of code system with this or 'password' system where you can get cool items or Pokémon from it haha.

Mass Transfer - if I have 20 Pidgeys to hand off to the professor, it would be great to be able to select them all somehow and send them all at once. That process is a pain after a long night of hunting :)
Oh god yes definitely this! I mention this all the time to my friends whilst playing together and we're going through the inventories, it takes soooo long to transfer all of the rubbish filler that you'd never need in a lifetime. An option to mass transfer would be beyond wonderful.

First and foremost, definitely fix the bugs. I think everyone wants that.

Secondly, I'd really like a way to customize the moves or attack power of individual Pokémon. It's annoying to finally get a decent Pokémon you've been looking for, only to see its attacks suck (i.e. Gyarados). Either with TMs or Move Tutors or something, but c'mon, give us a little customization here.

Also, trading would be the bomb.com. I know they're planning on implementing this eventually, but it really is a core essential to the Pokémon franchise. Besides, I really want the Nidoqueen my fiancé has and I just can't seem to catch one myself right now. So, there's that.

I can actually do without the Amie thing. The little animation when you tap them is sufficient in my book.
