@peterthegamer: An addition of social features would be cool but probably already on their feature list somewhere; if everyone was able to add their own Pokestop then the servers would be flooded in an instant (just like when it launched, and nobody wants that anymore); they're already planning on adding a new generation every 6 months (rumor); and making a story mode would kind of ruin the "Go" aspect of the game...
@panzerghost: Nintendo has done this kind of thing before, make a special edition 3DS for a game but still sell the actual game separately while always keeping the $200 price tag.
