We've not got much to tell you at this stage, but thanks to the official Pokémon Twitter account we now know that there's new Pokémon heading to Pokémon Go, with details set to be unveiled on December 12.

It's not just new Pokémon either, as we're being teased with a "few new experiences and in-game events" planned to take place before the end of the year.

In other news that's relevant to our American readers, Niantic's John Hanke also announced a new partnership with Sprint, details of which you can find below.

In addition, we are thrilled to announce that we are working with Sprint to create a special Pokémon GO experience at over 10,500 Sprint locations around the United States. As part of this collaboration, Sprint, Boost Mobile and Sprint at Radioshack stores will become PokéStops and Gyms, giving you even more places to stock up on Poké Balls and Razz Berries and to battle your friends. Sprint locations will also feature in-store charging stations to keep your Pokémon GO sessions going even longer. Sprint also brings a great network and an unlimited data plan to support your search for Pokémon no matter where they are hiding.
