Last June 30 marked the ending of "Pokemon Go's" beta testing, which also indicated the upcoming official release of the game from the augmented reality mobile game's developers. A hypothetical guess upon the "Pokemon Go's" talked-about release is pushed to July 11, which is Nintendo president's death anniversary.
This theory would be fitting since during Iwata's time at Nintendo, he became the face of the company, and ushered in Nintendo's most successful financial area with the Wii and the Nintendo DS, Game Rant reported.
There is a huge wave of support coming from fans of "Pokemon Go" in Reddit regarding the July 11 release rumor, as they expressed enthusiasm and shared memories with the founder's greatest glory.
As of press time, Nintendo and Niantic are tight-lipped on the game's release, but the July 11 date will be a perfect moment to relive Iwata's outstanding vision that touched the mobile realm.
However, if "Pokemon Go" will not be slated on July 11, it could be suggested that the game's launching may be somewhere between July 20 and July 25, just in time for the celebration of the annual San Diego Comic Con (SDCC).
For years, San Diego Comic Con has been the birthplace of new video games and consoles. As it is considered as one of the biggest entertainment events of the year, Nintendo could keep the "Pokemon Go" hype stronger and wider in case the official game's release will be hinted on the conference, Game Rant has learned.
"Pokémon Go" is an augmented reality mobile game for Android and iOS that is being developed by The Pokémon Company and Niantic, a former Google startup that is popularly known for its earlier augmented-reality mobile game "Ingress."
The game will be available as a free-to-play application from Google Play Store and App Store. Its peripheral device Pokemon Go Plus, which will take actions like capturing Pokemon without opening a Smartphone, is also available now for pre-order in the United States at a $34.99 price tag.
