Introducing You To the Next Generation Of Monsters Coming To Pokémon Go

We're still waiting for Mewtwo to show his face in Pokémon Go (and for the game to stop crashing), but developer Niantic continues to work on its popular, augmented reality monster hunter. A recent patch improved the game’s raid system as well as the Pokémon Go Plus accessory functionality. However, a group of dedicated dataminers have uncovered hidden files that reveal Niantic is working on adding the third generation of Pokémon into the game.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire released in the U.S. in 2003 for the GBA, and introduced fans to 135 adorable new Pokémon. They definitely aren’t as iconic as many of the pocket monsters from the first generation, but some of them are pretty cool looking in their own right (I'm not talking about Probopass). Almost all of the 135 new Pokémon have no relation to either of the previous generations (excerpt for for Azurill and Wynaut), which gives this generation a unique feel. However, Gen III helped balance out the Pokémon types overall, as it significantly increased the amount of Dark and Steel Pokémon and introduced a lot of new Pokémon with dual types.

Game Freak’s 2014 remake Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire also introduced a variant of Mega Evolution called Primal Reversion for the legendary Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre, so it will be interesting to see how Niantic incorporates these creatures into the game.

For those of you who didn't play Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, here is a quick look at all 135 new Pokémon we'll likely see added to Pokémon Go at some point in the future:
