Pokemon Go Gen 2 release date
The new Pokemon Go update has shed some light on the Gen 2 release date.
Pokemon Go's new update contains evidence of Gen 2 Pokemon, which has come as great news for fans.
The latest Pokemon Go update was ripped apart by data miners, who uncovered nearly 40 new moves, which surely points to the release of Gen 2 Pokemon.
The last time Niantic introduced new moves, Pokemon Go fans were treated to the release of Ditto, which was quickly followed by the first Gen 2 Pokemon.
The secrets were uncovered by Pokemon Go fans over on The Silph Road, alongside potential new features like Evolution items and shiny Pokemon.
You can check out the secrets for yourself by looking through the gallery below:

The introduction of new moves should make up for the new distance tracking changes, which will potentially make it harder to hatch eggs.
Pokemon Go currently tracks distance travelled through GPS. This means that players sometimes rack up a few additional steps, even when they're standing still.
Pokemon Go update v0.53.1 also makes text fixes, and updates the Apple watch to display Eggs obtained from PokeStops.
Fans had expected the Pokemon Go update to land this week, especially after last week's nest migration.
