Obviously there’s still the game’s first ever Community Day Classic to get through, but beyond that it is almost time to start looking forward to what February will have to offer.
As trainers are looking to the future, it’s not surprising that thePokemon GOdevs (and dataminers) are, as well. The latest datamined code includes all kinds of hints and previews about what is on the horizon for the mobile AR game in the near future. In addition to thequest text for Community Day Classic, there are some other interesting lines of code related to some upcoming Pokemon forms, a new kind of bonus, and some Lunar New Year event details.

As always, it’s important that trainers keep in mind that none of this intel has been confirmed by Niantic. Often the datamined information is accurate and hits the game in this form, but since it is not live there, there’s always the chance it will be tweaked and changed before it officially goes live. The datamine was a pretty large one, so the following breakdown only includes the most exciting portions for trainers who are looking for a recap…
New Forms
The code suggests that two new forms are on the way for Alcremie and a Normal Forme Deoxys. At this point, there are no hints abouthow the new Alcremie form changes might be triggeredinPokemon GO.
