Pokémon Go director Michael Steranka teased the future of the popular mobile game, including the long-awaited addition of Sword and Shield’s Galar Pokémon in a new interview.
The addition of new Pokémon to Pokémon Go has slowed significantly in the game’s recent history, a fact that Steranka himself admits to and even confidently says is for the good of Pokémon Go‘s longevity. Still, the unrushed pace of new content combined with the pressure to add the latest and most hyped Pokémon resulted in the Galar region being, unfortunately, skipped in favor of Paldea. Nearly a year after adding more than a dozen Pokémon from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Galar still hasn’t seen any love, but Steranka says that’s going to change.
