Datamining has revealed that Pokemon Go's latest update adds details for 100 new Pokemon, all from Pokemon Gold and Silver, as well as fresh evidence of the original 151's most mysterious absentee, Ditto.
According to TheSilphRoad, the Android version of the game's 0.45.0 patch added references in the game's code to Pokemon numbered 152-251 - the entirety of the Pokemon Gold and Silver Pokedex. That includes starters Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile, legendaries Lugia, Ho-oh and Celebi, and anime favourites Pichu and Togepi.
However, accompanying movesets have not been added for the new Pokemon, meaning these are simply references to actual content, which would need to be added with another update in the future - essentially, while it could arrive at any time, this isn't necessarily a sign that it will be anytime soon.
One new move that did get added points to inclusion of the elusive Ditto, one of six original generation monsters not to have (officially) appeared in Niantic's AR game thus far. Transform - Ditto's signature trick - now appears in the game with an accompanying animation, although it is not a part of Ditto's actual moveset right now.
TheSilphRoad points out a number of other smaller changes hidden in the update too, including code for the upcoming Daily Quests feature. We recommend reading the full article for exhaustive details.
Pokemon Go's updates have been coming thick and fast, including a number of improvements, tweaks and events - that may account for why it's still earning $2 million a day.
