It seems like a foregone conclusion, but Niantic's John Hanke confirmed that trading is definitely coming to Pokemon Go, even if it might not be in the immediate future. He said, "I’m sorry, I don’t have a date for you...We’re working really hard to keep the servers up and running...It’s at the top of our priority list."

If Go wants to enjoy longevity and maintain a strong attach rate in the coming weeks and months, then dedicated trading is an absolute must, especially considering that local trading was present in beta versions of the game. Fingers crossed the update comes before the end of the summer, when players will start migrating indoors.
