Generation confirmed?

The article's infobox states that the game is part of Generation VI. Has this actually been confirmed? I would have thought now that it's more likely this game will be part of Generation VII. If the information is not confirmed, can we just remove it? Kidburla (talk) 21:17, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

2015/2016 confusion

"....held by Niantic CEO John Hanke on March 14, 2015, but was later cancelled..."

Isn't "2015" supposed to be 2016? Chaossy (talk) 20:22, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Slightly late, but you are correct. Hopefully someone should fix it soon with more eyes on the page. --Super goku (talk) 16:01, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Pokémon Go Plus

This is confirmed to be $34.99 and may be released in late July (they will try for that). Kurt22 (talk) 22:25, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Size and weight

Unlike core series, it's not fixed. Pokémon can be lighter/heavier and/or smaller/taller than the usual norm. For example, I have seen a picture of 0.65m/4.8kg Raticate (marked with XS for weight). Eridanus (talk) 12:55, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Pikachu can be caught as starter Pokémon

As seen in this picture a player can get pikachu by walking away from the other three https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cm3wRieW8AA0cgM.jpg:large Veilor (talk) 22:39, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Eeveelutions

The article currently says that eevee evolves based on its moves but that doesn't seem to be the case based on the data being compiled here - unsigned comment from Spexile (talkcontribs)

I read the post and thought I maybe understood what it wanted, but then I looked at the data spreadsheet and it pretty much stopped making all sense to me... The only thing I can understand from it is that, yes, it does appear Eevee's evolution criteria is not just the move it knows. Beyond that, I don't know it'll even be possible to draw any conclusions from that spreadsheet. Tiddlywinks (talk) 23:24, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Regarding Available Pokemon and Items

Item list should be updated to include the disposable incubators. This user has found them at PokeStops with capability to incubate up to 3 eggs in total, one at a time. Possibility of stronger incubators?

Also, current PokeDex is listing user's owned pokemon out of available 250. While there have been little to no reports on Generation II Pokemon being seen or caught, it should be noted that the game is listing them as a possibility, likely at higher trainer levels. - unsigned comment from Carson3000 (talkcontribs)

You may want to double-check, are you really looking in the Pokedex (like here) when you see something like "X/250", or are you actually looking at just the Pokemon collection? Tiddlywinks (talk) 06:13, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
(edit conflict; sorry) I don't think the 250 capacity is (necessarily) any indication of Gen 2 Pokemon in the works. It's much more plausible, given the game mechanics, that the developers wanted to give people enough capacity to own more than one of each species. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 06:15, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
You can also purchase a Pokémon Storage Upgrade for 200 PokéCoins, so I really don't think this is a good argument. --SnorlaxMonster 07:47, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Eevee evolution

People suggest that it depends on its special move; Body Slam is Jolteon; Swift is Vaporeon and Dig is Flareon. Unfortunately, I cannot test that. Eridanus (talk) 08:19, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

See #Eeveelutions above. --SnorlaxMonster 08:25, 11 July 2016 (UTC)


Team Descriptions

I would if I could... but the descriptions of each team/faction should be listed under the Pokémon GO#Teams header.

Here they are:

Instinct (Yellow)

"Hey! The name's Spark -- the leader of Team Instinct. Pokemon are creatures with excellent intuition. I bet the secret to their intuition is related to how they're hatched. Come and join my team! You never lose when you trust your instincts!"

Mystic (Blue)

"I am Blanche, leader of Team Mystic. The wisdom of Pokemon is immeasurably deep. I am researching why it is that they evolve. With our calm analysis of every situation, we can't lose!"

Valor (Red)

"I'm Candela -- Team Valor's leader! Pokemon are stronger than humans, and they're warmhearted, too! I'm researching ways to enhance Pokemon's natural power in the pursuit of true strength. There's no doubt that the Pokemon our team have trained at the strongest in battle! Are you ready?"
