After data mining the complete set of Pokémon GO Gen 2 families last Monday, Nov. 7, the latest update has finally revealed the starter models of these families. Nintendo and Niantic both confirmed that all of the Pokémon GO 3D models are in fact reprocessed 3D models from the Pokémon X and Y game.
Pokémon GO Starter Models
Pokémon GO Hub was able to render all of the Gen 2 starter models and concluded that there is an eerie resemblance of sorts from the current models. However, it is essential to take note that these starter models for Pokémon GO Gen 2 have not yet been confirmed neither by Niantic nor Nintendo so it's best to take this with a grain of salt.
View the new starter models of the Grass family (Chikorita, Bayleef and Meganium), Fire family (Cyndaquil, Quilava and Typhlosion) and Water family (Totodile, Croconaw and Feraligatr). In terms of Max CP of these species, below is quick rundown:
ID | Pokémon | Max CP |
152 | Chikorita | 1024 |
153 | Bayleef | 1554 |
154 | Meganium | 2484 |
155 | Cyndaquil | 955 |
156 | Quilava | 1557 |
157 | Typhlosion | 2602 |
158 | Totodile | 1066 |
159 | Croconaw | 1651 |
160 | Feraligatr | 2678 |
Pokémon GO - Where Are The Missing Pokémon?
On other news, many players have been left hanging following the revelation of Niantic that Pokémon GO Gen 2 will have 100 additions beginning with #152 Chikorita. The developer has not yet fully confirmed as to whether or not missing Pokémon will still be revealed before Gen 2 comes. Missing Pokémon starts with #132 Ditto, #144 Articuno, #145 Zapdos, #146 Moltres #150 Mewto and #151 Mew.
A recent report from Forbes speculated that considering Ditto's distinct nature, Niantic could have "struggled with how to implement his 'transform' mechanic." In the meantime, Pokémon GO Gen 2 release before 2016 ends has not been confirmed yet.
