The Pokémon Company is gearing up for another big announcement on "Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon" early next month.

Siliconera reported that the game studio is prepping to reveal more details about the upcoming games. The reveal will be held on Aug. 1, 10 p.m. in Japan or 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET/2 p.m. BST.

The report did not reveal any details regarding what the game studio will reveal in the upcoming announcement, but it speculated that fans might be given new information about the features of the upcoming games.

The company already released a new trailer for the two upcoming games early this week to reveal the new line of Pokémon. It includes the coward Turn Tail Pokémon called Wimpod who will come with the new Wimp Out Ability, the Disguise Pokémon named Mimikyu that hides itself from the enemy to avoid getting hurt, the Draft Horse Pokémon that will come with a special Stamina Ability, the Posy Picker Pokémon that has the Triage Ability and has the highest restorative moves in the battle, the Strong Arm Pokémon called Bewear that has a very powerful hug that can hurt its enemy and the Fruit Pokémon called Bounsweet that has the Oblivious Ability.

The trailer also unveiled new features for the next Pokémon 3DS games. One of which is the Pokémon Global Link website that will now authorize players to create their customized Friendly Competitions. The other one is called the Online Competitions, which is just like the matchmaking mode that challenges all players to vie for the best rating.

Also, early reports mentioned that "Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon" will have a new feature called Hyper Training, where players can improve the stats of level 100 Pokémon. This will be performed by a character called Mr. Hyper, who will work in exchange for bottle caps.

"Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon" will be released on Nov. 18.
