Pokemon Go Christmas Event is beginning!
Pokemon Go is using the Christmas Event to release some new Pokemon. Many hoped that Niantic would release either a Legendary Pokemon or all of the Gen 2 Pokemon and this does not seem to be the case. The game released about 8 Pokemon that all need to caught by hatching them eggs.
There is also a special Pikachu that has a Christmas hat on. There are supposedly more normal Pikachus spawning during the Holiday season as well. The Pikachu with hat does not have any special abilities or anything like that he just is extra cute.
Message from Niantic on the event
Published on Dec 12, 2016Professor Willow has discovered Togepi and Pichu hatching from Eggs! Starting later today, Trainers will have the opportunity to hatch these and several other Pokémon that were originally discovered in the Johto Region in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games. These are the first of more Pokémon coming to Pokémon GO over the next few months.
The Appearance of baby Pokemon!
The Pokemon Go is unveiling the first set of Gen 2 Pokemon. In total Gen 2 is expected to be around a 100 new Pokemon but only 5-7 new Pokemon are expected to have been released so far. The Pokemon released are the baby Pokemon that evolve into the normal types of Pokemon that are known in Gen 1. These baby Pokemon were initially released in the game Pokemon Gold and Silver.
The Pokemon released are believed to be.
- Togepi -
- Pichu - Evolves into Pikachu
- Tyrogue - Evolves into Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee/Hitmontop
- Smoochum -Evolves into Jynx
- Cleffa -Evolves into Clefairy
- Igglypuff -Evolves Jigglypuff
- Elekid -Evolves Electabuzz
- Magby -Evolves Magmar
These Pokemon are not available to be captured in the wild but must be hatched in eggs. This means that players need to buy some incubators and go out walking. Its been pretty cold in a lot of places recently so its hard to say how much enthusiasm for the game this will gin up.
