Pokedex increase?

[havocthecat]

So once I hatched an igglybuff, my pokedex went from 149 to 159, but I hatched a Magkid and now it's at 240. Anyone know why the massive increase when I'm not seeing any Gen 2 out in the wild?

It's preparation for the rest of gen 2. Only the babies are available right now.

Congratulations on the babies!

It looks like we'll each have placeholders all the way up to the highest-numbered species we've currently caught or hatched, and then no numbers after that species.

Niantic is using the same species numbers as the main series games. So we get placeholders for the rest of gen two (not yet released) around the babies (released in eggs only).

Basically, the overall Pokemon series has a 'National dex' order that all Pokemon in all generations are listed by--Magby is #240 in the National dex organization, so now that you own one it's started to acknowledge that 239 other species come before it numerically.

Non-hatchling gen 2 pokemon aren't out yet, but there's hope they will be soon. I'm pretty excited. :D
