Future Developments

Recently, the developers hinted at the introduction of Generation 8’s Dynamax mechanic in the near future. This year’s anniversary artwork for the game featured a Dynamaxed Wartortle alongside the trio of Starter Pokémon from the eighth generation: Grooky, Scorbunny, and Sobble.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of most Generation 8 Pokémon, especially since the Sword and Shield generation was largely overlooked in favor of the more timely Generation 9.

Director’s Vision

The director of Pokémon Go has expressed that the team has been considering Generation 8 for some time. While no specific details regarding timing or launch strategy were disclosed, the focus remains on honoring the source material and ensuring a meaningful introduction of these Pokémon into the game.

As players look forward to the arrival of Dynamax mechanics, they can expect an engaging new gameplay experience that reflects the unique traits of the Galar region and its Pokémon.
