The Pokémon Sun and Moon for 3DS and the Pokémon GO will make for an interesting 2016 for fans of the franchise as both are designed to further bolster the game title. The Sun & Moon will reportedly get packed by Pokémon Legendaries but with augmented reality and other game-changing features on GO's side, the former is likely to be overshadowed.

The latest on Sun & Moon is courtesy of YouTube channel TyranitarTube, which ventured a guess that 3DS gamers will soon enjoy Pokémon Gold and Silver Legendaries Hu-Oh and Lugia. In the past, Pokémon has featured Legendaries on the box art and for the Sun & Moon the same was left blank as seen in the CoroCoro manga April 15 edition. The signs seem getting stronger that for the upcoming title Legendaries will be part of the deal.

And TyranitarTube is convinced that for the Pokémon Sun & Moon to be distinct from the predecessors the Legendaries involved will be of the mega-evolved variants. That is suggesting that Hu-Oh and Lugia on the Sun & Moon will be the super-upgraded forms that gamers have seen from the Gold and Silver phase.

But nothing is written in stone for now, which indicates too that previous rumors remain valid - that the likes of Zygarde, Volcanion and Magiana, originally listed as main characters for the Pokémon Z, will still be part of Sun & Moon.

Now on to Pokémon GO, which according to Movie Pilot, is essentially a redefining of the whole Pokémon gaming experience. While the past incarnations mostly carried over on the hit Pokémon elements, GO is the original thesis that got boosted exponentially. It's all about a tiring gameplay that was given a fresh shot in the arm.

"It's the same basic idea, but the gameplay mechanics have been massively changed up" the report said.

There will be Trainers that can be personalized to players' likings and augmented reality really is the game-changer that allows "actual involvement" on gamers' part. "The gameplay itself (is) taking precedent over the narrative, Movie Pilot said, adding that this alone makes the Pokémon GO a definitive cut above the rest.

The Pokémon Sun & Moon release date has been set for the Holiday 2016, meaning it'll be mostly a Christmas gift for 3DS owners, while the Pokémon GO is yet to announced for a specific rollout timing.
