Pokémon Go adds Togepi and Pichu and Christmas Pikachu

Six months after its release, the game is getting its first major tranche of new poki(C)mon

Poki(C)mon Go is getting bigger. Six months after its release, the game is getting its first major tranche of new poki(C)mon, with fan favourites from the second generation of games including Pichu and Togepi joining the roster.

The poki(C)mon, originally introduced in Pokemon Gold and Silver for the Game Boy Color, won't be immediately accessible on the game map like typical creatures in the game. Instead, they will begin to hatch out of eggs from Tuesday, according to Poki(C)mon Go developer Niantic Labs.
