As a nice surprise for any hardcorePokemonfans looking forward to the launch ofPokemon Ultra SunandUltra Moonon November 17th,Pokemon GOplayers can now dress their avatar with new items from the Alola region. Better yet, these newPokemon GOavatar items are available completely free of charge.
Pokemon GOfans that boot up the game will be greeted by a message from Niantic announcing the new threads. Both the male and female versions of thePokemon GOavatar have unique sets of clothes they can equip, though their tropical theme may look a bit odd in the coming winter months.
Regardless, fans aren’t likely to complain about the addition of some free cosmetic items, especially those based on the upcomingUltra SunandUltra Moongames. After all, some fans had expressed disappointment thatPokemon GOseemed to beignoring the launch of the two games, and while some may have preferred a special event, these free clothes are better than nothing.
What’s interesting is that these new Alola region avatar items aren’t even the first cosmetics from theSunandMoongames that have been added toPokemon GO. Last month, Niantic added a free Mimikyu hat to the game as part of itsHalloween 2017 event, so players can give their avatars a decidedly Alolan flavor if they so desire.
DespitePokemon GOfeaturing numerous cosmetic items based on theSunandMoongeneration, it doesn’t appear as though Alola region Pokemon will be coming to the game any time soon. After all,Pokemon GOstill has yet to introduce the vast majority of third generation Pokemon to the game, and since the Alola region wasn’t introduced until Gen 7, chances are good that it will be years before they’re added.
While the wait for Alola region Pokemon inPokemon GOmay be a long one, at least Niantic has gifted fans withSunandMooncosmetic items to help tide them over.
Pokemon GOis available now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
