Quite recently, Niantic has rolled out an update<\/a> that brought Ditto and a Thanksgiving event to Pok\u00e9mon Go. But people who have dived into the game\u2019s code discovered hint that Niantic may be introducing a huge update in December.<\/p>\n

According to the people who\u2019ve worked on the PokeVS web scanner, the current code for Pok\u00e9mon Go indicates that Niantic may be planning to add 100 new normal and legendary Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong> to the game. These include the Pok\u00e9mon found in Johto<\/strong>, as well as Mew<\/strong> and Mewtwo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition to the new Pok\u00e9mon, this update will also bring with it new features such as a Tamagotchi-like Pok\u00e9mon breeding feature<\/strong>, the highly demanded trading feature, as well as PvP battles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is no secret that Niantic has been working hard to bring the so-called \u201cGeneration 2\u201d update online. However, with new Pok\u00e9mon codes found in the mobile app, it appears that the \u201cGeneration 2\u201d update will be arriving much sooner than anticipated.<\/p>\n

Of course, until Niantic themselves confirm that the update will be going live in December, you should take this news with a pinch of salt.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
