The wait is finally over! After a long week of speculation and teases, the first wave of Gen 4 creatures are now live in Pokemon GO and players are able to head out and find them in the wild.
After the drama surrounding yesterday's update, some players began to worry that Gen 4 may be delayed, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Pokemon GO players around the world have begun spotting new creatures in the wild, so it seems like the first wave of Gen 4 is officially here.
"The world of Pokémon GO is evolving once again! This week, keep an eye out for Pokémon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region, featured in Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl, and Pokémon Platinum! Get ready to see Pokémon like Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup as they appear in Pokémon GO for the first time ever.
Pokémon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region will be making their way to Pokémon GO in waves! So, you can look forward to discovering even more Pokémon over the next few weeks appearing in the wild, hatching from Eggs, and battling in raids. Stay tuned to our official channels for updates about new Pokémon, new features, and expansions to existing features like Pokémon storage and more!
More discoveries from the Sinnoh region await, Trainers, so let’s get ready to GO!"
Here's a look at the official launch trailer...
Details surrounding the update are still being compiled as the community of players try to figure out exactly what is and is not currently available. For example, it seems new evolutions have not been unlocked yet, but hopefully that will arrive soon.
