THE QUESTION EVERY POKEMON GO PLAYER IS ASKING.... WHERE IS DITTO?


The phenomenon that is Pokémon Go — the free mobile game that puts Pokémon into real life using your phone's camera — is worldwide. Tens of millions of players are catching Pokémon and exploring the game's limits at all hours of the day, all over the planet.

You'd think someone would've found Ditto by now.

Yet, as of this writing, no one has. He's the elusive #132 in the Official Pokémon Pokédex — the encyclopedia of all official Pokémon, and the backbone of Pokémon Go. His number slot is there in your in-game Pokémon Go Pokédex, and folks have even dug into the game's code and found plenty of evidence that he's in the game.

And the CEO of the game studio behind Pokémon Go, John Hanke, said during TechCrunch Disrupt this week:

"I couldn't tell you how to find Ditto, because it wouldn't be any fun if I did. It will happen for you, I promise."

Excluding Legendary Pokémon — which are said to be coming at some point, likely in a bigger way than simply being capturable — Ditto is the only Pokémon of the original 151 represented in the game that's yet to be found.

Fans think there's a good reason for that: the nature of what Ditto is. Look no further than — what else? — the Pokédex for more on this logic.

"Ditto rearranges its cell structure to transform itself into other shapes. However, if it tries to transform itself into something by relying on its memory, this Pokémon manages to get details wrong."

Of course! As Reddit user "validproof" explains, when Ditto was introduced originally (on the Pokémon cartoon in the 1990s), it was a sort of mutant Pikachu. "What is interesting is that it is unable to fully transform in the beginning, and so it says 'Pikacha'/'Pikachan.' validproof wrote on Reddit.

All of which is to say: Ditto is almost certainly hiding in plain sight.
