Some fans, however, were dubious about the news given that Nintendo has been keeping mum about game updates for a while now. The outlet also pointed out that the big announcement may have something to do with the Pokemon movie rather than the game itself.

Christian Post reported that "Pokemon GO" and "Pokemon Z" will both be released at the same time in early 2016.

The outlet reported that "Pokemon GO" would allow players to capture Pokemon in their surrounding, including malls, gardens, parks and mountains where they are know to reside. This also meant that they can capture a Pokemon that belong to other gamers, which makes it more exciting.

"Pokemon GO" will be available in both iOS and Android devices.

On the other hand, not much information is known about "Pokemon Z." Recent speculations suggest that a new storyline will be introduced which will focus on Dark Mewto, the "hottest Pokemon in the Pokken Tournament. In addition, apart from Zygarde's evolution story, a new Pokemon with an untold story will also be part of the gameplay.
