Right between Reset Camera and Point Camera, fans with sharp peepers saw a <strong>little round grey head<\/strong> with two identical antennae. Since the sighting, we haven\u2019t seen any more slips &#8211; so to speak. However, the data mine has quite literally blown the roof off of the tiny trailer reveal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to a Pokemon <strong>data mining group<\/strong> called <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/poke_miners\/status\/1589258581857157121?cxt=HHwWgoCyvdGQl44sAAAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"PokeMiners\">PokeMiners<\/a>, who painstakingly searched through Pokemon Go\u2019s game files. We now have what is believed to be a 3-dimensional asset of the mystery Pokemon. The 3-D asset clearly shows a little blueish-grey creature with a round head, short body, and long arms. The asset also shows two matching antennae protruding from the top of the creature\u2019s head.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A new blog has been added! <br><br>November 6, 2022<br><br>A new discovery!
