Gen 2 is in full swing with the makers of Pokemon Go, Niantic, posting on their website today that you can now hatch a limited edition festive Pikachu, Pichu, Togepi and more! There will be some Pokemon that were from the Johto region in Pokemon Gold and Silver to be discovered as well. These are just a few of the new Pokemon that will be coming over the next few months and the people at Pokemon Go have asked that you use #PokemonGo on Facebook and Twitter while hunting and to post photos of what you catch. The limited edition Pikachu does not need to be hatched and can be found throughout the world from now until December 29th of this year. Here is a little clip from the announcement:

“Professor Willow has discovered Togepi and Pichu hatching from Eggs! Starting later today, Trainers will have the opportunity to hatch these and several other Pokémon that were originally discovered in the Johto Region in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games. These are the first of more Pokémon coming to Pokémon GO over the next few months. Be sure to use the hashtag #PokemonGO on Twitter to share your experiences as you explore your local neighborhoods with family and friends, walk to hatch these Pokémon from Eggs, and register them to your collection this holiday season. We can’t wait to see what Pokémon you’ve hatched! We also have another special treat for you. Starting later today through December 29, 2016, 10:00 A.M. PST, you’ll find limited edition Pikachu all over the world. These Pikachu will be wearing a festive hat to celebrate the season! Use the Pokémon GO AR camera when you encounter them in the wild to take their picture and share it with us using #HolidayPikachu.”
