Pokemon is one the most popularly recognized titles in the world, not just the gaming world. One if its largest games across the globe is Pokemon GO, which changed the mobile gaming industry entirely and brings some new faces with each generation released.
So far there have been five, with the newest coming out on Sept. 16 of last year. Each generation brought into Pokemon GO comes from the core game's generations.
With six and seven on the horizon, Generation 8 is one of the additions that will be coming to the game.
