'Pokémon Sun and Moon' are the next new games in the Pokémon franchise.

There is a leakage of the April CoroCoro magazine and the issue has more information on the much-awaited Pokémon games. The details include the film that features Volcanion and Magearna, as well as the "Pokémon Sun and Moon" game that is slated for a release during this year's holiday season.

From the magazine, it is official that the first Gen 7 Pokémon, Magearna, which was unveiled back in February, will certainly be a Steel/Fairy form, Serebii reported. The Gen 7 Pokémon joins Klefki and Mawile as the only Pokémon with that kind of typing.

The Japanese magazine issue as well features its first "Pokémon Sun and Moon" coverage, which is simply a tease. The magazine revealed a still of the covers to the game, although with most of it whitened to keep the details under wrap.

The March issue of the same magazine revealed that CoroCoro will gradually begin unveiling details on "Pokémon Sun and Moon" in "special features" of the publication in April. Although the latest reveal may not have turned out to be what fans wanted, it appears every month from now until the official launch of the game, there will be information about the upcoming Pokémon games.

In the May CoroCoro issue, fans should expect to see what new Pokémon will be put on the covers of "Pokémon Sun and Moon." Furthermore, there is likelihood The Pokémon Company releases information about "Pokémon Sun and Moon" before the next issue of CoroCoro. As a result, fans should alert for such details and we will keep you updated.

Meanwhile, gamers around the world were a little bit disappointed when Nintendo and the Pokémon Company released footage on April 3 at a Japanese variety show. Against fans' expectations, the two companies released footage that was new to Japanese viewers, but it was not new to the rest of viewers around the globe.

Nintendo and the Pokémon Company recycled the content that was displayed during the Nintendo Direct event of "Pokémon Sun and Moon" to the gaming audience of Japan, according to Cinema Blend. As a result, there was no new gameplay footage as seen in the trailer courtesy of YouTuber MyGamingBoulevard. Based on the ratings of the video, it is clear that fans were not pleased at all.
