Pokemon Go has announced additional details about its upcoming Season of Celebration, which kicks off on December 1st. This week, Pokemon Go is launching its first 3-month themed season that will serve as a backdrop of sorts for the game. The seasons will feature various Pokemon and events will also tie into that season's theme. The first season is the Season of Celebration, which officially begins on December 1st and runs until March 1st. The Season will feature in-game events celebrating various Pokemon regions and the other big changes coming to the game.

Other big changes coming to Pokemon Go this month include the addition of Kalos Pokemon, an increase in the Level Cap, and a re-worked Go Battle League. Other events are also planned during the month of December.

To kick off the event, Pokemon Go provided new details about the Season of Celebration, including which Pokemon would appear as part of the event, along with details about the December Community Day and the Kalos Celebration event. Here's everything we know so far about the Season of Celebration:

Featured Pokemon Appearing in the Season of Celebration

Certain Pokemon will spawn more often depending on whether you live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.
