The second generation of Pokémon and new items arrive in Pokémon GO
Table of contents:
Though they've taken their time, things are about to change in Pokémon GO. And they are no longer rumors. Niantic has confirmed that more than 80 new Pokémon will arrive starting next week to the title, both on Android and iOS. Good and long-awaited news that also does not come alone. And it is that the game will have other interesting news. But grab your desire for matchups between trainers. At the moment it remains among the pending tasks.
After the introduction of the eight baby Pokémon a few weeks ago, nothing was known about the Pokémon from the Johto region That is, those that arrived in the Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver games more than a decade ago. Just rumors and lines of internal code that suggested that Niantic, creators of the game, were preparing its arrival. Now it's official. Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile will be present on the map. Of course, it seems that we will still have to wait a few days before seeing them and being able to capture them. But this is only part of what is coming to Pokémon GO.
Evolution Stones
Niantic only talks about 80 new Pokémon for a reason. They are the genuinely new ones. Eight of them have already arrived in the form of babies, and there are many others that are evolutions of the first generation that were only seen with the arrival of this second generation.Between all of them there are more than 100 Pokémon, although getting them all will not be an easy task. Now to give new forms to certain Pokémon it will be necessary to get evolution stones. They will be special items distributed through the pokéstops They will be a mandatory requirement to find some evolved forms.
New Capture Features
At Niantic they have listened to those players who found it difficult to change the type of Pokéball or who did not want to waste time searching the inventory for berries. That is why these contents now have carousels directly on the capture screen With this they are directly accessible on the same screen in which the Pokémon is seen, without having to move between menus.
Niantic also alerts players that they may encounter new reactions from beings to capture. It seems that they could now move more or react differently depending on the trainer's actions, or the objects thrown.
New Berries
Another novelty is the introduction of two new types of berries The Latano, shaped like a banana, are responsible for slowing down the movement of the Pokemon. Therefore, they will be the best option to capture the most elusive Pokémon. On the other hand, the Pinia berries manage to double the number of candies of the type of Pokémon that is going to be captured. Of course, as long as it is captured in the next launch.
More options for the avatar
Finally, the variety of existing options for creating and customizing the avatar has been expanded. Each Pokémon Trainer will have additional hats, shirts, pants, and shoes to create their own unique design.
