Instead of being the worker bee, this is your shot at building the hive. Become the queen (king?).

The next hype wave will be the addition of legendary pokemon. This will be followed by the trading update and the battle update. After that, McDonalds corporate promotions and new generations are in the works.

Good luck :)
