Well, like I said, the timing would be about correct. Have Regigigas close out the summer to buffer the release of Gen 5 in August or so, maybe have one more returning Legendary, but beyond that, it’s pushing it.
When it comes to release dates, I speculate 10-11 months between major wave releases (Halloween doesn’t really count as it’s usually only a few Pokemon). In this case, all of Johto was released in February 2017. The first wave of 50 Pokemon from Hoenn was in early December 2017. The first major wave of 20+ Pokemon from Sinnoh was in October 2018. If that trend continues, we could be seeing an August release, but I can see it being pushed to September based on the events going on in the summer.
Wow, I more or less called it in that first paragraph. Now that we know that Unova is coming out in September, I can’t help but wonder when we will see the first Unova Legendary. Due to Regigigas still not out (earliest opportunity now is late-September) and with Halloween to follow, I can’t help but wonder if Unova Legendaries will be pushed into November. This schedule is looking a wee stretched now.
Or we could get Gigas in quests, that wouldve been amazing
I don’t see the point of that since it’s a Legendary, albeit one harder than usual to obtain in anything before ORAS. Still, this is Niantic we’re talking about. They still have the Sinnoh Mythicals left to get in, and I imagine that will start to crowd.
What would be rad is kicking off Unova with Victini Special Research, since it is technically the first Pokemon in the Unova Pokedex.

I mean the breakthrough
Victini wouldve been awesome.but Im giving them another 2 years
That’s quite optimistic–although I certainly hope so as well–but then again, Niantic really needs to start chugging out these Mythicals. I’m still wondering how they’re going to deal with the Phione/Manaphy pairing and the two forms of Shaymin.

Maybe the Manaphy quest will also reward you a 100km egg or something for Phione

Oh god, that would be both interesting and excruciating for a lot. XD
Welp, there goes my hope for Gigas being in the breakthrough, we get the same Mon that seems to have like 10% overall encounter rate instead
But yeah, 100km would take a looong time 
If you can put the 100km Egg in a Super Incubator it would not be a problem to me.

I imagine they wouldnt let that happen - bit Its still 67km
Yes it is, but it is still 33,3km less you have to walk. And you can still use the Infinite Incubator. But I doubt Niantic would make that happen as well.

It’s such a unique thing though that I’m interested to see what Niantic has planned. With Unova starting soon, they’d best start chugging them out, because Sinnoh was when Mythicals went a little ape.
Unova Legendaries I think are going to be quite difficult for me to get a great IV-one on since I’m working a lot more now so I only have opportunities early in the morning and towards the end of evening.

More or less what I expected, but I was a little shocked with how Black and White Kyurem got treated. There’s not much to tell that they even got the features of Zekrom and Reshiram respectively by their moves. I expect the Therian and Incarnate forms of the Forces of Nature to get alternate moves like Giratina did.

Cant wait to get my hands on the Tao trio, likely going off after M2
I hope so too. Zekrom is my favorite of the two, and it’s a freaking beast.
