Pokémon GO, the augmented-reality game for iOS and Android by developer Niantic, is about to get a lot more exciting this week with the release of 50 Pokémon and weather coniditons – both which originally appeared in Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire!
“Starting later this week, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, and several more Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region in the Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire video games will start appearing in Pokémon GO for the first time ever—with even more to be discovered over the next several weeks! We’ll also be introducing a new dynamic weather system in Pokémon GO that will change the way you and the millions of Trainers around the world discover, catch, and interact with Pokémon.
You’ll want to start paying even closer attention to your local weather patterns, Trainers. In addition to the in-game map being updated with cool new weather visuals, weather near you will impact Pokémon in a variety of ways. For example, you’ll find your odds of discovering Mudkip splashing around will greatly improve on rainy days, as certain Pokémon types will be more commonly found during various weather conditions. Additionally, attacks of certain types will be more effective during some weather conditions, so a Charizard’s Fire Spin will perform better on sunny days, for example. Rain or shine, winter or spring, your gameplay experience will remain fresh, making your time outdoors even more exciting.”
The weather conditions in Pokémon GO come with following effects:
- Sunny (default) – Grass, Ground, & Fire-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Rainy – Water, Electric, & Bug-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Snowy – Ice & Steel-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Foggy – Ghost & Dark-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Windy – Dragon, Flying, & Psychic-types get increased damage and spawn rates
In addition to the Gen III excitement, Ho-Oh’s reign as a Legendary Raid Boss has been extended an extra 48 hours and will now be available until December 14th, 1pm PST!
What Gen III buddy are you hoping to catch? For me it’s gotta be SEEDOT!
Let’s play your bets on what will come first;
Gen 8 of Pokemon or
Gen 4 to Pokemon Go.
Gen 4
Gen 4
I hope Gen.4 (I literally only need a Dusk Stone for 1000 some CP Murkrow with almost perfect EV’s and IV’s)
Samesies. I’ve stocked on all the Gen 4 cross evos
I also only need like 6 more Horsea till Kingdra (Which will be God of my team)
Unfortunately I still can’t find a good enough Horsea. I do have a kingdra, but it’s not great
Gen 6
If GO will keep expanding, gen 6 will be added some time from now, probably with Megas. How do you think they could handle megas in GO?
They won’t probably
Unless there is an actual battle system added by then
Megas could be used in Gym battles
I feel they’d be more broken then in the main games then
There is a battle system. When someone gets in your way you punch them and a fight ensues.
Would my fakemon regional bug be OP? It’s Bug/Normal, has 500 BST total and its ability works like leftovers. You could only get it by evolving the weak mid evo at level 40.
Under those conditions then no its fine, but seems like that’s way to late for such a crap second stage
I like to imagine that YouTube asked for Bill Wurtz to do something and he was just like
“… nah”
I wonder how many years from now Youtubers like Jacksfilms will say no. Many people already said no this year.
Such as..?
Why? (I don’t know much about youtube stuff).

I almost cried
……..I need a minute
So my dog just spent a solid half hour licking my forehead…
Poor dog. Its tounge is probably full of sweat and eyebrow hair!
I mean she must’ve liked it enough to keep licking me for so long
How the (already great) Stufful line could’ve been better:
Stufful Normal/Fairy
Bewear Fighting/Fairy
Nahhh
It’s painful how much the Stufful line was like my fakemon
