Generation II Coming to Pokémon GO: Trailer

Pokémon GO is about to get even bigger!

It has been announced that Pokémon GO is set to receive a huge update later this week with a ton of new content.

  • New Pokémon: over 80 new Pokémon from the John region will soon begin appearing in the game
  • New Evolutions: some Kanto Pokémon will be able to evolve into new Pokémon using new items that trainers can find at PokéStops
  • New Encounter Gameplay: several new encounter actions for Pokémon have been added, meaning they may react differently than before! Items can now also be selected in the capture screen using the new item carousel
  • New Berries: two new berries will be added to the game both bringing new benefits to trainers who use them. The Nanab Berry will slow the Pokémon it is given too, making it easier to catch, whilst the Pinap Berry will double the amount of candy you receive if you successfully capture the Pokémon in your next turn
  • New avatars and wardrobe items: finally players will be able to give their avatar a completely new look with an expanded selection of hats, shirts, pants and more!

It’s been a long time coming, but it’s almost finally time to catch those Johto Pokémon! Who’s excited?!

  1. Whelp I’m suddenly more interested in the game again. I won’t lie I’m probably one of few that still check into GO every so often to try and catch a few Pokemon here and there hoping that I can get something I don’t have yet. I think the number one reason I stopped playing a lot was the weather tho rather than the lack of updates. People like to joke around about the idea of people still playing it, but honestly it makes sense less people would be playing it around this time of the year. In my case for instance I can’t say Winter is the best time of year to go on frequent walks. There’s snow everywhere most of the time and when there isn’t it’s still pretty cold out in general. I go to work and that involves a lot of walking around, but that’s work and I’m confined to a specific area that I can’t leave. Plus I can’t just have my phone out all the time when there lol Once nice weather hits again I’ll probably go on long walks again and that’s really when Pokemon GO shines. During decent weather.

  2. wait if there is only 80 new pokemon coming plus the ones already out that makes 88 pokemon from gen 2 that means some are still missing excluding the legends, that means 6 pokemon regular mons is missing

  3. Just a fun little tidbit
    2000- Crystal
    2002- Ruby/Sapphire

    2 years

    Pokemon Go took almost half that time just to add those mons to a mobile game….

  4. Good news. TPCi actually wants to distribute all missing Mega Stones until Summer (to all players, not just the ones who participate in online competitions). Nice to know they’re handling the issue. Now I might actually start to transfer my mons to Sun/Moon.

    Reply
    • That’s good at least, but I still find the online competition getting the mega stones early as kind of stupid. Why can’t they just distribute the Pokemon and the Megastone together? (Like Magearna and the bottle cap). It makes the most sense to me to do this.

  5. So anybody alive?
    Barbor
    The Barnacle PKM
    Steel/Poison
    Sturdy/Iron Barbs HA: Corrosive
    a relatively small pokemon resembling a tick or a sand dollar, they are encased in a ultra hard pod like shell with numerous spines, beady red eyes poke out at the bottom and they have screw like feet and a cone on their underbelly resuming a top-shell or a screw
    “Barbor crave and fest on metals, they anchor themselves onto nearby boats or even pokemon and use caustic acids to break down the material the experience is painful and destructive”

    similar to all barnacles they have sky high defenses and rely on disabling opponents with status moves

  6. Finally my Legendaries are names

    Thunder
    Tonzurgon (Thunder in French and the words Azure and Dragon)

    Quake
    Bebardle (Quake in German, Earth in Dutch and Turtle)

    Scorch
    Quelinfer (Scorch in Spanish, Ling Guang, and Inferno)

    So what do y’all think?

    Reply
  7. Okay, I have a fakemon that I like and I want to share it;

    Toxinin (Toxin + Ronin)
    Poison/Steel type
    The Warrior Pokemon
    Ablity: Destinied-He’s only super effective on Fairy and Dragon types and he is 4x weak to normal, grass, fire and water.

    Toxinin were created to kill mythical fairy and dragon type pokemon. They are usually very depressed and are very difficult to train because of their lone wolf lifestyle.

  9. Well I wrote a few bits of dialogue attributed to a few important characters to meh fan region’s story… yay

    Reply
  10. A bit of random blurbs of dialogue… I could use opinions

    “You see,, not all Pokémon are like your Delulasma there. Most cannot reach their true potential like you and it have; that is where we, Team Vaccine, come in. Our goal is to make all Pokémon that perfect. Surely Someone like yourself would understand, right?”
    ~Team Vaccine Leader

    “We’ve been living in the shadows for our entire lives and it’s finally our turn to be on top! If we plunge the entire world into the shadows, we’ll be the ones to rule! It’ll be us, the Void Cult, and everyone else will be lowered to their knees before us!”
    ~Void Cult Leader
    “Ye arrrrre an persistent one, landlubber. That’s why you’re ourrrrr favorite nemesis. Nobody else puts up a fight!”
    ~Gold Shark Captain

    “Heheh! Hope your ready to break your keyboard, cause I’m about to click dragon rage a bunch of times and sweep your team! Good luck!”
    ~ First Gym Leader

    “I’ve trained flying types my entire 74 years of living! I guess you can say that my age is sky high!! Ohohoho! No? You whippersnappers have no sense of humor…”
    ~Sorenstone City Gym Leader

    “YOU ACTUALLY GOT HERE!? I’m FURIOUS!! I MADE A QUIZ GYM PUZZLE, MADE IT AS EASY AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE AND YOU GOT THAT MANY QUESTIONS WRONG!? HOW DID YOU…. Calm down… Calm down Logan.. You’re lucky I’m bored or I wouldn’t battle you… Prepare to lose, and I’ll embarrass the hell out of you for it…”

  11. Pokedex Entry: 210
    Gravenance
    Classification: The Grave Danger Pokemon
    Height: 7’01
    Weight: 324 Lbs
    Typing: Rock/Ghost
    Ability: Shadow Tag
    Stats:
    HP: 110
    Attack: 120
    Defense: 130
    Special Attack: 40
    Special Defense: 130
    Speed: 10
    Base Stat Total: 530
    Pokedex Entry: After being dead for centuries with its spirit stuck in a tombstone, this Pokemon has grown bitter and malevolent. It has forgotten all of its memories it had while being alive and has slowly lost its mind, becoming rather sadistic. Approaching one is greatly discouraged as it will attack without any provoking. It apparently seems to take great pride in falling over and crushing whatever comes close to it.

  12. Just hatched a shiny Pichu. And I wasn’t even trying to get one, but it took less than 30 eggs.
    It’s pretty much flawless in IVs but I’m not going to use it for anything because what I was trying to hatch was a male Pichu with HP Ice. This shiny is female and has no HP Ice.
    Also, don’t know if I should evolve it into Alolan Raichu or wait until we get a game where we can evolve into regular Raichu. Alolan Raichu looks like it spent too much time in the sun. To be honest, I don’t really like any of the shiny variants of the Pikachu line. I’ll still keep it but it’s a bit of a ”meh” feeling.

    • I always wanted to be a pirate
      But I also had this idea for a bunch of robotic Pirates for a series I had

      Captain Ironskull and the Metal Marauders

        • the captain has a harpoon gun for a peg leg and a robotic parrot bot
          also a gluttonous galley chef, a sly….Rasta bot hunter, and some kinda crazy tinkerer who operates the ship

          • But as cool as they sound they’re actually terrible at being Villians, especially compared to the real threat the Iron Armada led by the feared and vile Lord Nekros who seeks the legendary six panels to the inficube when reassembled can manipulate the very cosmos on whim

          • And this guy has a ton of elite henchbots….except the very comical and stupid duo of Slash and Burn
            A maniac buzzsaw wielding demolition bot and Burn a witty cold hearted automaton with a flamethrower staff, despite their deadliness they bicker and are genuinely bad at tasks that require them to not destroy stuff

  13. AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH EARTHEN SO BORED AND ANGRY
    The switch is nearly 2 weeks away and I’m so freaking antsy about it, today is just a gigantic obstacle in my next gen console conquest and Earthen hates things that get in his way

    Tomorrow I’ll have the new season of Race to the Edge to keep me busy but the upcoming week will be the last full week of preparation as we enter into what I call the endgame, where I gotta be absolutely prepared for the release because I don’t know how many pre-ordered for the Best Buy I go to but since the GameStop is literally next door that could thin out the herd

    Just need to pick up the console and game, I mean I preordered extremely early so I must have a decent window of opportunity, the very last thing I need to happen is my transaction or preorder to get botched and forcing me to wait

    Then I can spend the rest of the weekend in my basement with a bag of chips a case of gallons and playing what could easily be the #1 game of 2017

  16. I’m actually pretty stoked for this update. I got my hopes up when I saw that an update was ready, but it was just the UI update and not the actual Pokemon…….Either way I’m excited to actually get to catch some brand new (to GO anyway) Pokemon lol

    I honestly did not think I would make it this far. I have lost soo many pokemon though, but nuzlockes are so thrilling. On Ula Ula. Guzma and totem mimikyu killed so much, but that was to be expected.My starter is still alive and well, and I am not overleveled.
    Time to start my Poni island part of my nuzlocke, and there doesnt seem to be any big threats. Only the Guzma battle and maybe the Lusamine. Wish me luck!

    But everything is stabilizing and it’s showing up again

    I swear next time I just gotta get lucky and do everything on Amazon or have a account beforehand to avoid all the miscommunications

    But I have the whole morning off, gonna watch the new season of Dragons, maybe do a little shiny hunting and go have a nice diner meal

  30. Speaking of Yo-kai watch, I don’t even think it could run on Nintendo Switch. The gameplay HEAVILY relies on the use of the bottom screen, so unless they switch it up drastically there’s no way the series can continue.

  31. HOW TO AVOID SPOILERS

    Youtube: Filter out videos with Video Blocker, unsub from Nintendo/Zelda related channels that you know will probably talk about the leaks
    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-blocker/jknkjnpcbbgcbdbaampbjlhkcghmgfhk
    If you’re on mobile, your best bet is to avoid Zelda/Nintendo videos and clear your history

    Tumblr: Just fill this thing with a shit-load of zelda related tags and unfollow zelda blogs
    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tumblr-savior/oefddkjnflmjbclpnnoegglmmdfkidip?hl=en

    Pokejungle: Don’t roll over spoiler text

    If you are going to post leaks ANYWHERE, be curious and don’t put huge spoilers just out there for people to accidentally stumble upon.

      • Honestly I’m good with either one. Heck, they might give us Z, who knows?

        As long as I get to relive sinnoh again I’m all good. I’m just happy that we can finally play a Pokemon game on the TV, it’s a dream come true.

      • I want Switch, I’d be very dissapointed to see it on 3DS, for three reasons.

        1. Pokemon has always been on a handheld, and this would push home the fact that it truly is a hybrid.
        2. Pokemon is a HUGE system seller.
        3. IT’D BE POKEMON ON THE TV

        Reply
      • No way. SM was already pushing the 3DS’ limits, so that’s mean the Switch version would have to be held back in potential just to accommodate the 3DS. Plus that wouldn’t help switch sales all this much.

        Reply
  33. Im a fraud! I went into EB Games the other day, and almost cried, because they have all the switch stuff set up (ads and signs and stuff) telling you to pre-order it, but I already checked with them and they sold out of their pre-orders like an hour into the day they started… so here I am, not having any sort of zelda lined up, nothing pre-ordered and yet calling myself a zelda fan! I just really do not want to pre-order a wii u version, I want the switch version! I’m such a mess rn.

  34. Also Generation 2 on Go will probably have me paying for another couple of weeks or so.

    Unfortunately there is literally no incentive to play the game for people who don’t want to spend tons of money on it.
