With Pokémon Go, it has always been the goal to make players get up, go and travel. This happens locally but can also take place globally. This brings us to a juncture, and that is where get the Regional Exclusive Pokémon sliding in. With each new generation of Pokémon Go, a few Pokémon have been kept exclusive to certain regions, and with the increase in Pokémon and locations, the list of regional pokemon & locations have increased. Although these Pokémon can be found in Eggs, they are still restricted to a specific geographical area.
Regional Pokémon: Definition
In Pokémon Go, walking and traveling are important components. As a way to promote traveling in Pokémon Go, they made certain Pokemons only available in some specific regions. It can be an island, a country, a continent or subcontinent, or even coastlines around the equator. To find these regions’ exclusive Pokémon, the player needs to go there.
Rise of Gen 6 Pokémon
With Niantic releasing more Pokémon across the globe, some Pokémon have proven to be harder to locate. These are scattered around the globe. Thus, the dedicated trainers need to travel to locate these regional exclusive Pokémon. The pandemic has also made meeting trainers from different countries more challenging. As a result, obtaining regional Pokémon is not as simple as it used to be.
With the announcement of the addition of Gen 6 Pokémon coming into the game, there are a total of 40 regional Pokémon in Pokémon Go. They are divided into 6 Gen categories.
