Fans of the Pokémon genre that played the games back in Generation II --
Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver, and
Pokémon Crystal -- are no doubt aware of the trio of Legendary Dog Pokémon that were introduced in those titles. Unlike most Legenday Pokémon where the case is that they can't be obtained until later in the game, the Legendary dogs instead would constantly run around the world map occassionally appearing in and running from battle with the Trainer.
These Legendary creatures -- Entei, Raikou, and Suicune -- would pop up unnanounced early on and often in the game easily landing them on the more memorable side of the pocket monster list hailing from the Johto Region. Now one of these beasts, the powerful Entei, is being featured during March in Niatic's mobile title
Pokémon Go.
While Entei has previously been available in the augmented reality mobile game, this will mark the first time that Shadow Entei will be attainable to Trainers. As a part of the continuing Team Go Rocket event Trainers will be able to save Shadow Entei from Giovanni next month and add the creature to their line-up of shadow 'mons. If so inclined, players can also Purify these creatures for a price.
What do you think? Will you be taking part in the quest to capture Shadow Entei? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
