Embark on a global Pokémon GO adventure! Many Pokémon are region-exclusive, meaning you'll need to travel the world to catch them all. While initially there was just a handful, the number of regional Pokémon has significantly expanded. This guide organizes these elusive creatures by generation, making your quest for a complete Pokédex a little easier.
