Pokemon GO Hints at Potential Additions of Galarian Pokemon

The developer of Pokemon GO has hinted that the game may get additional Galarian Pokemon in the future. One of the developers working on Pokemon GO recently addressed the fact that the game does not include any Galar Pokemon and hinted at the possibility that this could change in the future. Only 20 of the 112 Pokemon who made their debut in the Galar area are presently accessible for purchase, which means that a great number of fan favorites are temporarily unavailable.

Players of Pokemon GO have expressed their desire to see additional Galar Pokemon added to the game in a public forum. Galar was the area that was introduced to the Nintendo Switch for the first time in Pokemon Sword and Shield, which were the first major mainline series games to get the console. Despite the fact that Pokemon Sword and Shield is getting up to its fifth anniversary, a significant number of fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of new content that has been added to the mobile augmented reality version of the brand. On the other hand, there is a valid explanation for the delay.

Players of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet had to wait for four years in order to capture one of the most difficult-to-get Pokemon. A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player must put in hundreds of hours of work in order to acquire one of the Pokemon that is considered to be among the most difficult to acquire throughout the entire history of the game.

Unfortuitously, if the team at Niantic is required to wait for Nintendo and Game Freak to release new mainstream Pokemon entries, it is possible that it will be some time before fans see a big rollout of the most current Pokemon to enter the franchise. Although Pokemon Legends: Z-A is the next game to be announced, it is more of a side game than a typical addition to the franchise that features two different colors. Fans will have to wait and see till Game Freak discloses more information about the game before they can determine whether or not there will be a limited number of new Pokemon added in compared to a conventional game.
