Developed by Niantic, "Pokémon GO" is an augmented reality game for mobile phones for iOS and Android devices.

"Pokémon Z" fans are disillusioned by the latest updates about the game's release date given earlier reports had pointed towards a 2016 launch.

There were rumors that "Pokémon Z" will be released this February if not the first quarter of 2016. However, the most recent reports indicate that the game is unlikely to be launched this year since it is still under development. The game developer, Game Freak, has not yet confirmed whether the game will come out this year or not, rendering every information just but a rumor.

The development of "Pokémon Z" is still at its early stages, making it impossible for Game Freak to release it to the Nintendo gaming consoles anytime soon. A full-length feature on "Pokémon Z" was covered in the Japanese gaming magazine CoroCoro in the December 2015 issue, where it displayed all the five forms of Zygarde, a fusion of two legendary characters of "Pokémon X and Y," according to Movie News Guide.

Zygarde was described as one of the legendary Pokémon with a dual form of character like the Dragon and Ground Creator. Zygarde is expected to be the main element of Pokémon.

Meanwhile, although "Pokémon Z" may not be released this year, the mobile augmented reality game "Pokémon GO" is ready and it is the game to come out either this month or during the Q1 of 2016.

According to Gamespot, game developer Niantic has almost confirmed the release of "Pokémon GO." The company posted on its official website that CEO John Hanke will soon be discussion further details concerning the game and how they developed it to get would-be-trainers into the outdoors.

The company is reputable for putting something new in the gaming community and "Pokémon GO" will be its latest released expected to shake up the industry. In the last three year, Niantic has been defining the genre of real world gaming through smartphones and tablets to link the digital world to the physical world.

The upcoming "Pokémon GO" improves the challenge of the real world gaming design, and it takes the great franchise and sets its many brightly colored monsters across the world. The game incorporates a new Bluetooth wearable device Pokémon GO Plus, which was created by Nintendo.
