Niantic says future Pokémon releases will focus on natural features over wild spawns
Wild Pokémon spawns in Pokémon Go have been an issue all year round, with fans becoming increasingly frustrated by every new Pokémon locked behind research, eggs, or a gimmick.
With the increasing number of ticketed or gated new spawns, Dot Esports decided to put the question to Pokémon Go’s director, Michael Steranka, at the 2024 Pokémon World Championships on Aug. 17. We wanted to know if new wild Pokémon might ever make another appearance and what Niantic’s strategy is for potentially adding new Pokémon to the game.
