Cleffa and Igglybuff are Pokemon GO’s newest creatures that hatch out of 2km eggs. Pichu and Togepi are relegated to 5km eggs. On top of that, three other new Pokemon are in Pokemon GO.
Elekid, Magby, and Smoochum appear to be the final new additions – for now. These ones hatch out of 10km eggs.
Niantic will be adding more Pokemon from generation 2 over the next few months, but specifics are currently unknown.
We have several months to go until Free Comic Book Day 2017, yet VIZ Media is already confirming its involvement. Moreover, the publisher is planning something special for Zelda fans.
VIZ Media will make a special book available containing excerpts from the manga adaptations of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It will span 32 pages.
Free Comic Book Day 2017 will take place on May 6, 2017. You’ll be able to pick up the Zelda special from participating comic book stores.
Nintendo updated the Super Mario Run stickers for iMessage within the past week. These new ones are pictured above in the top row, and can be used now. The Super Mario Run stickers are now at version 1.1.
If the Xbox store webpage is anything to go by, it seems that Yooka-Laylee will be released in April.
The page has Yooka-Laylee listed for release on April 11. A Brazilian retailer also posted its own release date of April 7 for physical versions. While this is by no means an official confirmation, one could assume that we’re likely close to an actual official announcement from Playtonic in the near future.
The only slightly concerning thing here is that a physical version of Yooka-Laylee is nowhere to be seen. Missing out on a retail release wouldn’t be entirely surprising given the state of the console, but we’ll have to see what Playtonic and Team17 are planning.

Generation 2 Pokemon are beginning to roll out in Pokemon GO. We already know about Togepi and Pichu, and news about another one of the additions has now come in.

Since a mainline Pokemon has never graced a Nintendo home console, fans of the franchise are waiting to see if and when it will make an appearance on Switch. Of course, there has been plenty of speculation regarding a third version of Pokemon Sun/Moon for the platform.
When asked about Switch in a new Spanish interview, Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda said:
“Without a doubt, Nintendo Switch is the future, but we will have to wait until it goes out on the market and study how it can benefit from Pokemon. When people have it, we will have too see and deeply study how to use it so we can think how the next entries of Pokemon are going to be and how the saga can benefit from the new console.”
Masuda also mentioned that Pokemon has always evolved with Nintendo consoles, and will continue to do so. With the technology that’s available, they’ll explore how to highlight the series’ important aspect of communication.
