Why Did Pokemon GO Skip Gen 8?
Last updated
Have you ever wondered why Pokemon GO jumped right over Generation 8? Let’s dive into this mystery.
For fans keeping track, it seems like Pokemon GO took a leap over Gen 8. What’s up with that?
The Short Answer
Simply put, Pokemon GO hasn’t actually skipped Gen 8.
While it might seem like Pokemon GO bypassed Generation 8, the truth is a bit more complicated. The game introduces new Pokemons and features in stages, not strictly following the traditional generational lineup seen in console games. So, while Gen 8 Pokemons haven’t made a big splash yet, it doesn’t mean they’ve been skipped.
