By now, gamers already know that by Monday next week, Dec. 12, a new Pokemon Go update will be rolling in to enable trainers to do multiple Pokemon transfers to Professor Willow, and add in a few iconcs and Candy Counts to the game.

The older version of the game had audio files for species 1-151 in the game, but now it seems like its moved to 1-251. Bearing this in mind, Gen II Pokemon may just make their way into Pokemon Go soon!

Aside from that, the new update is also bringing in new gender's for the Pokemon, as well as code for Shiny Pokemon variants in the game. Shiny Pokemon are extremely rare, and they have high collecter's value in the main Pokemon games.

The new Pokemon Go update will also bring with it other fun features as well, like the Baby buddy position, sponsor placeholders like the Grill and Smoker, as well as Pokemon Costumes. Gamers can now dress up their Pokemon with the first set of costumes labeled under Holiday. Talk about whopping updates.
