Pokemon Go's newest Throwback Challenge is about to start, with new tasks to complete and a chance to capture another Legendary Pokemon. Pokemon Go has started the rollout of its Hoenn Throwback Challenge, a new weekly challenge that pays homage to Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. The new Throwback Challenge has 9 different parts, each of which rewards players with a mix of berries, Pokemon encounters, and other prizes.
