In Pokémon GO, the 3rd generation could be unlocked soon. First traces are now available in the App Store.
Trainers around the world are currently waiting for news about the 3rd generation for Pokémon GO. A few weeks ago, the developers announced that the new monsters would be coming to the mobile game soon.
A new advertisement for Apple users is raising hopes.
Update: 3:30 PM
Now it’s official: With this trailer, Niantic announces the new Pokémon of the 3rd gen
Update 12:10 PM
In the meantime, the image of the 3rd generation has been replaced by an image of Aerodactyl. Whether the image of the 3rd generation was just a mistake or if Niantic is trying to hide a big announcement is unclear.
Let’s continue with the original article.
3rd Gen Release soon? App Store advertisement is a good sign
A new advertisement for Apple Watch users has now been spotted, showcasing the starter Pokémon from the 3rd generation. The advertisement can be found in various countries and has been confirmed by several players.
This is what the advertisement looks like with the gen-3 starters “Flemmli”, “Geckarbor”, and “Hydropi” (via Reddit user mpiano888):
A similar preliminary announcement occurred during the last Halloween event in Pokémon GO. On October 17, we reported about the found Halloween announcement with the gen-3 ghosts. Two days later, on October 19, the Halloween event was then officially announced.
We suspect that a new Pokémon GO update will soon be released, providing us with the last necessary files and preparations for the 3rd generation.
Gen 3 release date still unclear
Unfortunately, a precise release date cannot be established at this point. However, the new advertisement suggests that the release is not far off, and new monsters will soon be rolling through the world of Pokémon GO.
During the Halloween event in 2017, we found the first gen-3 monsters in the game. Niantic stated that the remaining Pokémon from the Ruby and Sapphire editions would be gradually available in December. Unfortunately, there is still no more accurate official information regarding the release. We expect Niantic will comment on this soon.
The hype train is therefore picking up speed, and players are excited about the announced content update. Are you already looking forward to the new Pokémon?
Well prepared for the 3rd gen in Pokémon GO:
