The next in-game season of Pokémon Go begins tomorrow, March 1st, and focuses on the Hawaiian-inspired region of Alola.
This is the area seen in the seventh generation 3DS games Pokémon Sun and Moon, in which players explored an archipelago of islands and slayed a suitably sun-drenched menagerie of creatures.

The commonly seen creatures Pikipek and Rockruff have already been teased, suggesting we’ll be seeing them tomorrow alongside dragon-type Jangmo-o and legendary creature Tapu Koko.
