Niantic, the makers of a little app that seems to have caught on - GO Pokémon, is it? - has announced that Pocket Monsters from the Unova region will start appearing on 16th September.
As part of the rewards (as if they weren't coming regardless!) for completing all three parts of the recent Global Challenge, three weeks of Ultra Bonuses have been unlocked, and Week 3 sees the arrival of Pokémon that fans first caught back when Pokémon Black and White launched on Nintendo DS.
Below is all the information released from the Pokémon GO Live webpage, including the chance to catch Unown forms from 10km eggs, regional exclusive Gen I Pokémon hatching from 7km eggs in Week 2 and the appearance of Jirachi via Special Research (use our guide to find out exactly how to nab the blighter):

This was honestly my favorite gen of all.
Trubbish time baby!
Black and white is my favorite gen, so I'll try checking this out
Yeasssss. Serperior darling the time has come I hope we get Gen V clothes too.
TEPIG!!!!!!
i like to call him Gannon with two Ns
as I was reading I thought it was gunna say catch generation V starter Pokémon in Pokémon sword and shield
@Santoria
It's up there with gen 1 & 2. The only thing I hates are most of the designs.
P.s. isn't it a little soon for gen 5? I'm still trying to get all Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokemon. Besides that, at this rate, Pokemon go will be up to gen 8 in a couple of years. Hard to make this game as enjoyable with everything released and nothing to look forward to.
Gen 5 is a mixed bag for me. Some of the designs are decent, but the majority of them range from meh to just plain awful in my opinion.
That said, I'll still be going crazy trying to fill in the new Dex entries.
Took them long enough!
Can’t wait to have to collect 1000 candy to evolve larvesta.
I Need 3 more Friends. Please add me 2346 9294 3667! Thx
Gen 5 already!? I've barely made a dent in the Sinnoh Dex...
Finally, I’m so excited!!!
I see a lot of people saying too soon, but as a reminder the Gen IV Pokémon came out in shifts starting last year at the same time. My guess is Gen V will be the same way.
Least favorite generation overall, but there are a handful of gen 5 Pokemon I really like. Most notably Haxorus, Galvantula, Serperior, Bravariy and well that's about it.
But there are some 4th gen Pokemon that aren't out yet. I still haven't seen even a single Gible and nothing from the Garchomp family even on gyms. And there is almost always that one guy, with a crap load of rare candies who gets the fully evolved pseudo legend like, the day it comes out.
Figures, happening right after my visit to California. lol
...I can finally catch Mr. Mime, Farfetch'd, and Kangaskhan?! All I'll need after that is Mewtwo and Lapras and I'll have completed the Kanto Dex!
Tauros is the only Gen 1 Pokémon I still need - YAY!!
I got my Farfetch’d in Okpo, South Korea, my Mr Mime in Edinburgh, Scotland and my Kangaskhan in French Perth, Australia.
@mousieone
Also, I’d think the Galar versions like Weezing will come out in December. That’s a lot of new Pokémon - not that I’m complaining.
@Jango296 Gen 4 arrived in October last year, how have you not got every available one by now? Most of us have been waiting months having nothing new to catch!
@Sandro89 A little soon? Gen 4 started appearing in GO in October last year, its been nearly a year!
@KayFiOS You can get a guaranteed Lapras from the special Fast Start research quest in case you haven't done them yet. I can't remember what step it is but it's one of the rewards.
Me: Ugh, tired of Pokemon Go.
Pokemon Go: Coming soon: Krookodile!
Me (dusting off digital pokeballs): I'm in.
WOW! Scolipede will be mine!😍
@Rob3008
Yes, this guy is absolutely right. If you advance enough on the breakthrough missions, you'll receive a Lapras.
@Gumbo1995
Like I said: at this rate it isn't going to take long for GO to catch up to the mainline games. When that happens you're not going to be able to catch new mons for 3 years or so.
