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

"Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon" are among the highly anticipated games in the "Pokémon" franchise. Latest reports indicate that when the Pokémon Company finally releases the duo titles, they will have an official strategy guidebook and the burst evolution feature.

"Pokémon Sun and Moon" will release late this year with a 350-page guide, according to Siliconera. Gamers from Canada and the United Kingdom can get the standard guide for "Pokémon Sun and Moon" via Amazon. Similarly, these players can check the collector's edition through the same website.

Reportedly, the "Pokémon Sun and Moon" guide will include a detailed walkthrough of the upcoming games. Besides the locations for the Pokémon, the guide will come with lists of moves, items, and the way players can obtain the items. Avid fans of the franchise will as well get important tips for getting the most out of communications, including the pullout map of the region.

There are speculations that "Pokémon Sun and Moon" will release with the burst evolution. The feature is from "Pokémon Reburst," which is a 2011 manga series published in Japan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine.

The "Pokémon Reburst" introduced a strategy called Burst that allows trainers to fuse with their Pokémon in the form of a Pokémon-human hybrid. The feature is likened to a cosplay in an entirely new level.

The Burst strategy uses an item referred to as Burst Heart, which has a diamond prism shape. It is alleged that this diamond prism is in the "Pokémon Sun and Moon" logos.

Meanwhile, after the reveal of Starter Pokémon in "Pokémon Sun and Moon," avid fans have speculated what the evolutionary line would be like. A new sneak peek may have revealed the typings of the evolutionary line for the upcoming game starters.

YouTuber pdwinnall spotted some code in the Japanese Pokémon website where some of the likely typings surfaced for the evolutions of the starters. However, this is mere rumor and there is no official confirmation from The Pokémon Company concerning the evolutions and their typings.

Based on the released clip, the "Pokémon Sun and Moon" Japanese website has fields left blank in the code as the YouTuber inspected the resources. The first two fields show the typings Grass and Flying, which connote Rowlet's typing.

The third field is left blank with the fourth one being Fire (Litten's typing). Field 5 is the Water typing that refers to Popplio's typing, but the sixth field is blank as well.

Here is a sneak peek for more information on the upcoming titles.
