All we know about it so far is that it will act as a storage system ala Pokemon Bank and that you'll be able to trade with it. Will we be able to battle? If so, will there be any single player battle facilities? What about minigames or a version of Pokemon amie? People have come to care about their Pokemon, so the prospect of being able to do nothing with them outside of just staring at them.
Normally I'd understand the silence. After all the app isn't releasing until 2020, but the fact that it could resolve the current cut Pokemon controversy makes the silence incredibly odd to me. THough I must say this entire prerelease cycle has been incredibly odd to me with baffling decision after baffiling decision (dropping the cut dex bomb in a random Treehouse segment, a 24 hour live stream to announce a single Pokemon, and so on).
