Since it first launched in July 2016, Pok\u00e9mon Go <\/em>has slowly been adding more and more Pok\u00e9mon to the game in a number of different ways. This includes a number of very specific ways to encounter certain species of Pok\u00e9mon\u2014such as Niantic\u2019s own take on region exclusive Pok\u00e9mon.\u00a0<\/p>
Since Pok\u00e9mon Go <\/em>takes place in the real world and doesn\u2019t have the same distinctions, or limitations, as the main Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>games that release multiple different versions on Nintendo consoles, there are no \u201cregions\u201d to separate Pok\u00e9mon spawns in the traditional sense for the series. So instead, the developers decided to use things like country borders, hemispheres, and even timezones paired with regional names for parts of the world to fill the hole. <\/p>
This type of region-exclusive Pok\u00e9mon applies to encounters of all types, and here is everything you need to know about which Pok\u00e9mon are locked in what areas, along with various other details. <\/p>
