If you’re still playingPokemon Go, you’re probably going to be jazzed about the latest addition to the game: the Paldea region.A handful of new creatures are entering the fray soon, which is scheduled for a September 5 at 10AM (local) through September 10 through 10AM (local) debut.
Because it’s Niantic, this isn’t a full kickoff forScarlet & Violet; just a drip-fed rollout of a select few characters.
Here are the evolution requirements:
Bringing a selection of Paldean Pokemon into the fray still isn’t a big win
Rubbing salt in the wound, Niantic also announced in that same blog post that Unowns were returning to the raid pool,but they haven’t addressed many complaints from fans earlier this year. There are constant posts on many communitiestalking about how they play less(myself included) after the remote raid price was hiked to 195 Pokecoins in March of 2023.This is on top of stingy reward payoutsfor players.
Oddly, Generation 8 starters (and much of the Galar region in general) are nowhere to be found, which is confusing a ton of fans. The Pokemon Company has a lot of sway here in terms of what actually gets rolled out when, but Niantic’s track record has given folks pause as to when that might actually happen.
