NPC Gyms, Gym Leaders, Gym Badges

How come Niantic haven't introduced NPC Gyms with Gym Leaders, Gym Badges, Elite Four and Regional Champions yet?

I'm bored with fighting normal gyms and would welcome NPC Gyms for the game. I hope the upcoming gym re-work will introduce this into the game.

Can you please explain what all this entails for someone who has been away from Pokémonfor a long time?

NPC is a non playable character like gym leaders in the old games. Basically you would walk along and be stopped by one to challenge and increase your xp

Gotcha. Thank you. Sounds like that would be fun.

Niantic haven't introduced many key features including pvp and trading. Despite that they should still find a way to give gym badges through other means (like beating ten/hundred rock type or fire Pokémon) but NPCs and gym leaders probably won't come anytime soon as they are still trying to get trading in the game

i dont understand why people keep looking forward to Trading.. its stupid and unecessary.. it will only encourage more cheat and more bots... Trading is a totally stupid and useless thing
NPC, a lot of NPC, is the only thing that can revive this lousy linear boring game..

Totally agree. Remove gym color totally, and make them all NPC. So no matter if you're yellow, red or blue, you can fight NPC together. And they give pokecoins if you get to a certain level while fighting. This would totally remove the incentive to have bots and best pokemons. And it would be nice to go to a gym, find some players there, and gang together against the NPC to rake some coins. Trading only bring more botting and spoofer into the equation. Hope it never come.

Lol, I guess because how you want to play must be the only correct way then? I'm happy to wait until they know how to introduce it without bots, but I can't wait for trading. And I don't really care about gyms, NPCs, PvP, anything like that. I just want to:
A) Get as much as I can in the Pokedex, and
B) Get every medal to gold. Relax, everyone has different personal goals, I'd prefer if they never brought in NPCs if that meant trading worked.
