Pokemon GO Needs to Stop Adding New Generations

gamerant.com:

Pokemon GO released in 2016 and instantly became a cultural phenomenon. Groups of strangers all gathered to play together, running around public areas to catch Pokemon. The thing is, the quest to «catch 'em all» was much easier in 2016, as the game included only the first generation of Pokemon. This generation introduced 151 Pokemon, and GO had less than that due to the game's legendary Pokemon releasing months later. Nearly six years later, developer Niantic just introduced Pokemon from Sun and Moon, the series' seventh generation, into the game. When the generation finishes rolling out, players will be able to obtain 809 different Pokemon species within Pokemon GO.

However, this approach only makes sense if every Pokemon actually becomes available. Long time players of Pokemon GO are unhappy with how Niantic decides to introduce new Pokemon into the game. Players can complete their Pokedex for the first two generations, but gen three and onward all remain impossible to finish. The rollout of Sun and Moon's Pokemon is already well on its way, but Niantic should focus on releasing some missing species before rushing too far past them.

Pokemon GO first introduced species from the game's third generation, Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, in 2017. This generation includes many fan favorites, such as the box art legendaries, Groudon and Kyogre, as well as the ever popular starter, Blaziken. There are a total of 135 new Pokemon from Ruby and Sapphire, yet the grand total available in GO is just 134. Only one Pokemon has eluded making an appearance in the game for five years, and that is, fittingly, the chameleon Pokemon Kecleon.
