The rumors that had been surfing the Internet for hours were true after all. The third generation of Pokémon, those seen in the Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire games, land in Pokémon GO. At least in part. The confirmation is already official and, from this moment and in the coming weeks, it will be possible to meet several of them. Expanding your collection soon. But it's not the only novelty that Niantic has included in Pokémon GO

Third Generation Pokémon

Pokémon from the Hoenn region, typical of the games Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, begin to arrive in Pokémon GO. Specifically, and in a first initial step, they will be Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip. The first of the Gambe Boy games when you must start the adventure. Although Niantic affirms that they are not the only ones that can be discovered from this week already in the game.

Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip

Of course, it seems that the arrival of the rest of Hoenn's Pokémon will be staggered We will have to wait several more weeks to see new ones beings from this region. So the coaches must arm themselves with patience and be content with the official confirmation and arrival of this long-awaited third generation.

New Legendary Pokémon

The announcement trailer also leaves us other interesting clues about the near future of Pokémon GO.On the one hand there is the presence of a new legendary Pokémon. This is Groudon, also from the Hoenn region. Something that makes us think that, along with the rest of the legendary Pokémon like the current Ho-Oh, it would also be possible to meet Groudon in the coming days.

Other Hoenn Pokémon like Salamence, Shiftry and Ludicolo They all appear in the trailer in different environments. More than clear clues to the first third-generation Pokémon that will be available in Pokémon GO.

Dynamic Weather

The other great novelty that Niantic has shown is the weather. And it is that this real world variable is also important in Pokémon GO for different aspects. One of them is that is also graphically reflected in the gameThus, the appearance of the sky and the mapping environment is modified if there is a windy, rainy, snowy or sunny day. All these elements are reflected in the virtual world of Pokémon.

The other aspect that modifies the climatic weather is the presence of one or the other Pokémon And it is that each climatic situation makes it more prone or not the appearance of certain Pokémon. Thus, rainy days favor the presence of water-type Pokémon such as Mudkip.

But it doesn't just affect the Pokémon themselves. It also makes their attacks stronger or weaker Thus, fire-type attacks are more effective in the light of a sunny day, and not when it's snowing or raining . Qualities that give dynamism to the game and try to keep it fresh.

No Fighting Between Trainers

There are still many doubts to be resolved, and many more Pokémon to receive in Pokémon GO. However, it seems that Niantic is doing its homework, even if it takes a long time. In the air there is still the possibility of battles between Pokémon trainers A request that players have been making for some time and that seems to be still far along the development line of Pokémon GO .

At the moment we can only hope to find Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip, as well as the rest of Hoenn's Pokémon. The rest will remain hidden for several more weeks, waiting for Niantic to open the season to take over all of the third generation.
