Pokemon GO, Niantic's AR-based mobile game on the world's largest IP franchise, runs on the principle of slowly releasing content such as new Pocket Monsters, Mega Evolutions, regional forms, and different forms of existing critters. These periodic releases keep players hooked to the title despite its relatively stagnant gameplay attributes.
One of the driving factors behind this model is Pokemon's core principle: "Gotta catch 'em all!" This leads to fans staying engaged even when they are dissatisfied with several aspects of the game.
This article highlights all the unreleased Mega Evolutions, regional variants, & forms in Pokemon GO as of November 2024.
