The news comes from Pokemon Go fan site The Silph Road, which claims to have uncovered gender markers for Pokemon (though there's currently no way to view whether a given Pokemon is male or female). This could be Niantic preparing to add Pokemon breeding - a much-requested feature - to the game.
The Silph Road also claims to have found code that enables a Pokemon to be shiny. For those who don't know, shiny Pokemon are identical to regular Pokemon, save for their coloring. A shiny Charizard, rather than being the typical orange, is black with red wings, for example. Shiny Pokemon are exceedingly rare, so having one on your team is often considered a prestigious distinction.
More customization appears to be in the works for both Pokemon and trainers. Special costumes may soon be worn by Pokemon, though what these look like is anyone's guess. All we have to go on from the data is that the first costumes will be categorized as "holiday" costumes.
As for trainers, there appear to be new options for hair, shirt, pants, hat, shoes, eyes, and backpack slots, with customization items being categorized under "new," "sale," "purchasable," and "unlockable" labels. I think a cosmetic shop is incoming.
