It appeared that the long wait for "Pokemon GO" is finally ending soon as recent rumors claimed that the release date has already been set on Feb. 27, 2016.

According to Ecumenical News, there have been speculations that the much-awaited video game could already be enjoyed by gamers in their iOS and Android devices in just a little over two months from now, giving face to the 2016 release date theories.

However, the report advised fans "to take this one with a pinch of salt for now" considering that no official statement coming from the creator has been issued yet. Thus, they may need to read the content of the Dec. 15 issue of "CoroCoro" magazine first to find out if such rumors would be confirmed.

The report further revealed that "Pokemon Z" is also expected to get rolled out on the same date.

On the other hand, Movie Pilot noted five features that would make "Pokemon Z" a better version compared to its predecessors.

First on the list was the need to provide a fresh take on the highly popular "Pokemon" story.

"The Pokémon story has become so same-y now that it's starting to lose that childhood charm that carried it forwards," the report said. Would this be applicable to "Pokemon GO" as well especially that there have already been reports about its final release date?

The second point was about the inclusion of difficulty options. The report emphasized that "a difficulty setting option at the beginning of the game is a must for 'Pokémon Z.'"

The third feature that Movie Pilot harped on was on saving files which accordingly "One of the BIGGEST annoyances with the mechanics of the 'Pokemon' games."

A "rejig of the type strengths and weaknesses" was cited as the fourth necessary feature while the fifth one would be the addition of more post-Elite Four content.

Do you think more updates on "Pokemon GO" and "Pokemon Z" and their official release date will be divulged in the latest issue of "CoroCoro"? Keep posted!
