While there are increased rumors online on "Pokémon Z" and "Pokémon GO" release dates, Nintendo Direct remains mum about the issue. The Japanese Coro-Coro magazine November issue may be carrying more details about the fan favorite games.
According to the recent footage that features a "blue-gemmed Zygarde Core," fans could expect seeing more news on Pokémon in the magazine's December issue, which is slated for a Dec. 15 release. The magazine did not unveil further details concerning the games, but many fans are optimistic that it may concern "Pokémon Z" or "Pokémon X, Y, and Z" anime movie.
Furthermore, details on the 20th anniversary release remain vague, according to Crossmap. The report further heightened the level of anticipation for the two games and the movie as Niantic received a large sum of funding from The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, and Google. There is a possibility of the company receiving more funding should it reach the target dates.
Meanwhile, "Pokémon GO" is the closest Pokémon world simulation as it mimics Pokémon catching, training, trading, and battling in the context of reality. Players having the game on their devices will receive instant notification should there be Pokémon within the vicinity.
Furthermore, game developer Niantic will offer the game in a version that relies on Bluetooth-enabled wristwatch paired with a smartphone. This will notify gamers in the event of a Pokémon being nearby with LED and vibrations.
According to Pokémon's official website, "Pokémon GO" will be publicly launched in 2016 for both Android and iOS mobile users. Fans are speculating a Feb. 27, 2016 release date since this will be the 20th anniversary for the highly successful and fan-favorite Japanese anime franchise, Ecumenical News reported. The publication added that the upcoming game will feature the next "legendary monster" Zygarde in its final form.
