Pokemon GO's latest update brings us new Pokemon and Pikachus in Santa hats

As scheduled we've got more Pokemon additions to add to our Pokedex in Pokemon GO- and there's a seasonal surprise from Niantic, too. 

Aside from the traditional 150 - give or take - we can now get surprised as Togepi and Pichu start hatching from eggs. These are the two named Pokemon but there are a few more on the cards taken from the Johto Region (explored in Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver). 

Niantic promises that there's certainly more to come over the next few months which'll give us the opportunity to give Pokemon GO a little extra love over the holidays. You can share your experiences of the newest Pokemon - preferably in hilarious situations - by using #PokemonGO on Twitter.   Join our Pokemon GO hub and leave your friend code!

Speaking of holidays, it looks like Pokemon GO's contribution is that now when you spy a Pikachu in the game he'll be sporting a rather dashing Santa hat. D'aww. Again, Niantic urges you to share your experiences using #HolidayPikachu. 

What Pokemon are you hoping to see in the coming updates? Let us know in the comments!
