Pokemon GO has now been updated with Gen 2/Johto Pokemon, and a whole bunch of other stuff including new clothing/etc. Video here:


You can also get Genesect via code for X/Y and OR/AS if you didn't get one last year, the event will end on
February 28.
In North America, this is through the code GENESECT20 and in Europe/Australia it's through the code GENESECT2016.

The missing Mega Stones in Sun/Moon will also be gradually released as well. They can be gotten earlier via Online Competitions as a present for entrants, but will be released fully for everyone later.
The Pokemon Company has put out a new note clarifying how the currently missing Mega Stones are going to be distributed. In the note, it explains that the Mega Stones will come through two means
First, given as a present to players of Online Competitions, such as with the Mawilite and Beedrillite in the upcoming 2017 International Challenge February competition. Here, a limited amount of players will get the code ahead of a wait period of 1 to 2 months before all players get the code.
Second is just through a code that will be given to all players through various events/online postings with no wait period
The method will vary depending on the Mega Stone and they intend to go through these methods until Summer. As always, we'll bring full details on the Mega Stone distributions as they come.
As mentioned, the
Mawilite and
Beedrillite will be available from the next Battle Competition.
