Your Pokedex in Pokémon Go is about to get much bigger, as creatures from the Sinnoh region make their way to Niantic and The Pokémon Company’s mobile game. A new trailer for Pokémon Go teases the arrival of the first fourth-gen Pokémon, including starter trio Chimchar, Turtwig, Piplup and the legendary Giratina.
Sinnoh-region Pokémon made their series debut in 2006’s Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and they’ve been a long time coming in Pokémon Go. Niantic and The Pokémon Company didn’t provide a specific date for the arrival of Sinnoh-region Pokémon, but their release appears imminent.
In addition to a new generation of Pokémon, the developers of Pokémon Go are making some changes to the game “based on Trainer feedback.” According to The Pokémon Company:
Moving forward, the weather feature will have a reduced effect on the rate at which Pokémon appear.
As you explore a given area, you will notice that a greater variety of Pokémon species will appear over time and at different rates.
Certain areas, such as parks and nature reserves, will now contain more varied Pokémon species.
