Following the recent release of "Pokemon Go" Gen 2 Update, avid gamers of the hit augmented reality game might see the addition of the Shiny Pokemon. Dataminers have reportedly discovered a secret file code suggesting this new development as of late.

The said dataminers have found the hidden file code from 0.57.2 version of "Pokemon Go". It could confirm the arrival of Shiny Pokemon to the hit freemium mobile game at some future time, GeekR8 reported.

While the launching of the Gen 2 Update have fueled the excitement of fans in playing the game and go out to catch the new set of pocket monsters, they still wish to capture the Shiny pokemon. If these datamined codes are proved to be legit, then it's a wish come true for the fandom of "Pokemon GO" soon.

As all die-hard Pokemon game fans already know, the Shiny Pokemon creatures are known as special variants that have diffirent colors as opposed to their respective regular Pokemon version, both the Gen 1 and Gen 2. But one must note that Niantic has yet to confirm the addition of Shiny Pokemon to the game. 

In more news, the game developer has already confirmed their plans for the popular game this 2017. Three major updates are coming, one of which is the addition of Legendary Pokemon like Mew, Mewtwo and legendary birds to "Pokemon Go". The other is a major overhaul of the game's gym battle system. 

Also, Niatic CEO John Hanke has also announced that a new Pokemon Go Plus is in the works for release. Back at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) held in February at Barcelona, Spain, Hanke talked about working on the new version of the device, which is something to look out for.

"Pokemon Go" will be celebrating its first anniversary this summer since it first launched on iOS and Android devices in July last year. Stay tuned for the latest news and updates.
