Strap on your backpacks and hike up those jorts, trainers – a big update has been announced for Pokémon Go.
The big news is the arrival of Gen 4 Pokémon in-game, which are arriving “soon”, according to Pokémon’s official blog post and a teaser video, which you can watch below.
There’s no Stephen Fry doing a David Attenborough impression this time, but there are several teases of the Sinnoh-region critters we first saw in the Nintendo DS games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The ones teased seem to be the Grass-, Fire-, and Water-type starters Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup respectively, plus the ominous Ghost- and Dragon-type Giratina, one of the game’s toughest legendaries.
