A large update for Pokémon Go is reportedly coming this December and bringing with it over 100 new Pokémon for users to catch. The update includes not only the addition of Pokémon from the second generation of the orinal Game Boy Color games, Pokémon Gold and Silver, but also allowing for players to challenge one another to battle, trade, and even raise their Pokémon like pets. According to the update, Mewtwo and Mew, two legendary Pokémon that were not previously available within the game are now listed as coming to Go following the December update.
While the contents of the update haven’t been confirmed by Niantic Labs, analysis of the in-game code by PokéVS reveals where the update could be applied. The update could reinvigorate interest in Pokémon Go this holiday season as fans have been eagerly waiting for the game to gain a more steady stream of content. Pokémon Go has reached over 500 million downloads since launh but since then user activity has dropped considerably due to lack of content and updates to draw interest for newcomers and the already established player base.
