Rumor: Pokemon GO could add 100 new Pokemon and more in a big update next month
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, Rumors | 5 Comments
Rumor has it that Pokemon GO will be receiving a major update next month. Based on analysis of the game’s code done by people associated with web scanner PokeVS, 100 new normal and Legendary Pokemon will be added. That’s in addition to the possibility of player-versus-player battles, raising the Pokemon you catch similar to Tamagotchi pets, and trading.
GamesBeat, who reports on today’s story, says it’s unclear if Pokemon GO’s update will be dropped entirely at once over time. However, PokeVS’ before-and-after comparisons of the code indicated where the updates are expected to be implemented. Niantic told GamesBeat that the “Gen 2” is planned as an update, but didn’t share anything further.
Continue on below for the lineup of 100 Pokemon said to be coming to Pokemon GO.
