After reports of code diggers discovering new Pokemon from Generation II inside "Pokemon Go's" update file, fans have been waiting for official confirmation from Niantic. The company was quick to announce in a tweet that players will start to receive the new pocket monsters from eggs. However, Niantic apparently plans to release the newcomers in batches instead, which seems to be a marketing move to drum up interest for the game.
In a previous report from Gamenguide, data miners discovered a bunch of "Pokemon Go" system files that refer to "baby." This appears to be the biggest hint that led to the baby Pokemon from Generation II being released. In Niantic's tweet, they state that "Professor Willow has discovered Togepi, Pichu, and several other" through hatching some eggs.
