Niantic and The Pokémon Company announced that an additional 80 Pokemon will begin to appear in Pokémon GO later this week. These include Pokémon originally discovered in the Johto region from the Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games, including Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile. In addition to Pokémon that will appear in the game for the first time, the latest update introduces new gameplay mechanics for Trainers to master, including new encounter gameplay, new Evolution items, two new Berries, and expanded outfit and accessory options for their Trainer avatars.
“Today is a momentous occasion for Pokémon GO as we welcome more Pokémon and build upon the encounter and capture mechanics for the passionate global community of Trainers playing the game,” said John Hanke, founder and Chief Executive Officer, Niantic, Inc. “Pokémon GO is a live experience which we’ll be continuing to support and evolve in new and interesting ways for years to come.”
Not sure how many people are out playing Pokemon Go still, but it’s nice that the company is still adding content. And to be fair, it’s a lot nicer being able to be outside and not have hundreds of people blocking traffic. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go stare at my phone all day as these clan won’t clash themselves.
