Pokémon GO
The App Store has put out a new image for Pokémon GO implying more Pokémon from the Sinnoh Region will be available very soon. This image showcases more evolutions of classic Pokémon, specifically Tangrowth, Ambipom, Gallade, Lickilicky, Mamoswine and Yanmega and the Baby Pokémon Mime Jr., Happiny and Bonsly. These evolutions, except for Mamoswine, are now currently available, requiring the Sinnoh Stone to evolve. In addition to that, Cranidos, Shieldon, Glameow and Combee have also started to appear in the wild
