pokemon go alolan formsSummer is here and Pokemon GO is celebrating with new Pokemon variants with a distinctly tropical vibe. If you’re a long-time Pokemon fan you probably know what I’m talking about. Niantic announced that they will soon be releasing Alolan forms of the original 150 Kanto Pokemon.

“Sunny days are ahead! Whether your forecast calls for rain or shine, we’re celebrating all around the world by introducing some special Pokémon from the tropical Alola region to Pokémon GO. Get ready for some of the Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region to appear in their Alolan forms! These unique variants were first seen in the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon video games, and they will make their way to Pokémon GO in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for news related to this exciting change—and don’t forget to tell your friends! Stay safe, and happy exploring!”

Alolan Pokemon have unique traits and skills that set them apart from their Pokemon “ancestors”. What this means for the AR game is still unknown since Niantic has been skimpy on the details. But, we’ll let you know as soon as we hear more.
