‘Pokémon GO’ generation 2 is finally here!

Niantic has announced the Pokémon Go Gen 2 update, which brings the Johto starters from the Gen 2 games Gold and Silver, along with new evolutions and more.

Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile — better known as the Johto starters — will finally make their Pokémon Go
debut.

Other non-starter Pokémon include Crobat, Donphan, Hoothoot,
Hoppip, Marill, Murkrow and Skarmory.

Official artwork for the Pokémon Go Gen 2 release also confirms the addition of new Eevee evolutions Espeon and Umbreon.

Overall, we can expect over 80 new Pokémon to join the game.

Niantic has re-done the encounter interface too. When engaging a Pokémon, new options will appear in a carousel, offering not just
Pokéballs but new berries you can use as well. Read more (2/15/17 8:30 AM)
