Pokemon Go developer Niantic has bad news about the full Gen 3 release date.
Fans of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire will be disappointed with Niantic’s statement at the start of the Halloween event.
The next wave of Gen 3 Pokemon are pencilled in for an early December launch, but Niantic’s comments suggest the full Gen 3 release date will be staggered.
“The rest of the Pokémon first seen in the Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire video games will gradually arrive starting as early as December!” Niantic explained.
It could be that the next wave of Gen 3 Pokemon launch as part of a new event in early December, or start appearing in Raids.

Lasting until November 2, the Pokemon Go Halloween event introduces Gen 3 Pokemon like Sableye and Banette.
Spooky Pokemon like Gastly, Drowzee and Cubone will also spawn more regularly for the duration of the event.
Elsewhere, fans can capture a special Pikachu wearing a witch hat, while avatars can be dressed up in Mimikyu’s hat.
Other bonuses include double candy for catching, hatching and transferring Pokemon, while Buddy Pokemon will find candy faster.
Pokemon Go fans are also running out of time to take part in Niantic’s latest AR event.
