Niantic will reveal details about new Pokémon in Pokémon Go on December 12

The official Pokémon account on Twitter says more characters are coming to Pokémon Go. More details will be announced on December 12. It is not yet clear whether it concerns the entire second generation of Pokémon.

More Pokémon are coming to Pokémon Go, and more details will be announced on December 12, that state in a Tweet from the official Pokémon account. It is not clear whether the new figures will actually be added on that date, or whether it is just an announcement.

It may be the second generation of Pokémon, which consists of a total of one hundred figures, but it could also be that it only concerns the legendary Pokémon that are still missing from the game. References to the second generation have already been found in the source code, but the missing legendaries are also already in the code.

There have been rumors for some time about the arrival of new characters to Pokémon Go. For example, Starbucks has announced that a special Pokémon-themed drink will be available from Thursday. The announcement states that this will be accompanied by the release of new characters in the game.

Niantic announced on Tuesday that a sponsorship deal has been signed with the American provider Sprint. In that announcement, the creator of Pokémon Go confirms that more information will be released on December 12 about the addition of more figures in the game. Niantic does not provide further details.

The maker of Pokémon Go also announced an update for the app on Wednesday, which should be available on Android and iOS in the coming days. After the update, it will be possible to send multiple Pokémon to the professor at the same time. This can be done by holding down the figure. The different Pokémon also get an icon that shows their type when they are chosen for battle or training in a gym.
