Pokemon Go, the augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic, has recently introduced its fourth generation of Pokemon. This update has added over 100 new Pokemon, including the starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup.
Generation 4, also known as the “Sinnoh” generation, is based on the Pokemon games Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, which were originally released on the Nintendo DS in 2006. This means that fans of the original games will be able to catch their favorite Pokemon from that era, such as the Legendary Pokemon Dialga and Palkia.
One of the most exciting features of the Gen 4 update is the addition of “Sinnoh Stones,” which are required to evolve certain Pokemon from their previous forms. These stones can be obtained through various in-game activities, such as completing research tasks or participating in raids.
Another notable addition is the introduction of “Physical” and “Special” split attacks. In previous generations of Pokemon, the type of attack a Pokemon used would determine whether it was physical or special. However, in Gen 4, each move is either physical or special based on the move itself, rather than the type of Pokemon using it. This change adds more strategy to the game and allows players to create more balanced teams.
In addition to the new Pokemon and gameplay mechanics, the Gen 4 update has also introduced new avatar items and updated the game’s graphics and user interface. These updates make the game more visually appealing and easier to navigate.

The Handheld version of the Pokemon games use to take years for a new generation to release, Pokemon Red and Blue came out in 1996, and 22 years later, there have been seven generations. But unlike them, Pokemon Go came out in July 2016, and not even two years later we’re almost done releasing Gen 3.
One of the reasons is that handheld games had to create an entirely new game for every new generation they released but in Pokemon Go, they have to just put the new Pokemon in the existing framework.
The Ruby/Sapphire Gen 3 is almost done in Pokemon Go, so it’s not too early to think about Generation 4, the Diamond/Pearl era.
Pokemon Go Releases:
July 2016: Gen 1
December 2016: Small Gen 2 group (babies)
February 2017: Vast majority of Gen 2
October 2017: Small Gen 3 group (ghosts)
December 2017: First large chunk of Gen 3
January 2017-Present: Ongoing Gen 3
So going by the above timeline it takes around 6-7 months from a Gen launch to a few Pokemon of the next Gen release and 7-9 months for the mass release of the next Gen.
But Gen 4 Niantic made it more staggered and longer. Gen 3’s release has been going on since October, about four months ago.
This is way better than just dumping 150 new Pokemon at once as they can keep the players engaged for a longer period of time. So by the time players will be done with Gen 3, Gen 4 will be almost there.
So going by the above timeline Gen 4 will start at least teasing its Pokemon by May/June, with a full release in June/July.
June/July release maybe a little later is also ideal as it will be summer and the best time to go out and play an AR game. As opposed to Gen 2 and Gen 3 winter releases when players cannot go out.
Gen 4 has lesser Pokemon than Gen 3. with just over 100 new Pokemon. But It will be a fun generation, with the “creation trio” of Legendaries, Diagla, Palkia, and Girantina that are pretty much Pokémon Gods for all intents and purposes.
If Niantic sticks to this timeline then they will probably release all seven current generations within its first 3-4 years on the market. But by then, there might also be a Generation 8, released on the Switch, and wouldn’t that be something if GO and The Pokemon Company managed to coordinate a simultaneous release?
