When "Pokemon Go" was announced, it was speculated that the game would release sometime in 2016, in celebration of the franchise's 20th anniversary. Developer Niantics, who has partnered with Nintendo and Game Freak, revealed that it will release more information before this month is over.

"We're not quite ready to talk in more depth about 'Pokémon GO' than what was revealed in the announcement press release and assets," Evan Dexter, a representative from Niantics, told Nintendo Insider. "Come mid-October we'll be able to start going into more depth about our plans for the game, and about our plans for real world gaming overall."

"Pokemon Go" is expected to release in 2016, although a more specific window has not yet been announced. There was also a rumor flying around the Internet that the game was cancelled, but Kotaku Australia has reported that the rumor was false and that it originated from a spam video, not from an actual source from Niantics or Nintendo.

Nintendo Insider also pointed out that some fans had security concerns due to the game's use of augmented reality on smart phones, mostly because "Pokemon Go" will need to gather private information such as a person's location and private data stored in the device -- information that malicious players could hack and sell to third parties.

Niantics will need to address these concerns as they further explain the mechanics of the game. The trailer also indicated special events that may allow players to capture rare Pokemon such as the legendary Mewtwo.

"Pokemon Go" will allow Android and iOS users to capture, train and fight Pokemon in the real world using augmented reality. Players can also utilize an optional accessory, the Pokemon Go Plus, which allows players to enact actions like throwing a Poke Ball without having to look down at their phone screen.
