By Sue Ng
Gamers welcomed the news on the Chinese mainland, where the wildly popular monster-hunting mobile game Pokemon Go has been banned since 2017.

Chinese gaming and social media giant Tencent has announced that its TiMi Studio Group is teaming up with The Pokemon Company, backed by Nintendo, to develop a new game – much to the excitement of mainland fans.

Tencent said the two companies had agreed to work together to develop the game, but it did not give further details or a timeline in a statement on its Weibo microblog account on Monday.
