I'm super excited to see this and I'm hoping there's no odd distance limitation. My friends span the globe and I'd love it, if this is a good way to get new and interesting postcards.
It works be great to see mushrooms create opportunities to create friendships too. One thing at a time, I suppose.
You can friend someone by using their code. It's a sequence of numbers that aren't obviously related to the person.
But you can't add a friend by putting in their name. I think this is Niantic's way of making sure we aren't spammed by invites by people with less-pikmin-oriented goals.
I'm going for a way to friend other local players and that's not easy to do.
Oh! You’re right. I was thinking you could add someone from a mushroom but you can only react. It would be nice if there was a toggle to allow yourself to be friended. I can understand why there might be privacy concerns and you might not want people to be able to add you, but they could make it an opt in system. I see the same people all the time, would love to be able to interact.

I was trying to respond to your comment but I think I accidentally downvoted it or something? My app is displaying weird, and I’m still not used to the interface. Sorry if I did downvote.
What do you mean about creating friendships? What change would you want to see? It seems like you could make friends with another just by seeing them on a mushroom in your area. I’m occasionally tempted to add the names I keep seeing when I’m out and about.
