The "Pokemon Sun & Moon" game is scheduled to be released on Nov. 18 in many countries, while Europe will only be able to enjoy it by Nov. 23. Fans can actually pre-order the game now. However, it looks like someone was able to obtain an early copy of the highly anticipated game from The Pokémon Company and has released several screenshots of it online.
Several screenshots of Rowlet, its base stats, and Pikepek's evolved form have made its way online, on very popular forums. Then, there is also Trumbeak, a story element, as well as some of the game options. There was also the moment where the player is about to choose a starter set from the main menu and the Pokemon, Pokedex, Bag, and Trainer Passport option screen.
Siliconera added that the other screenshots include the legendary characters, Solgaleo and Lunala, as well as screen captures of Rowlet and Popplio in the heat of a battle. Another image capture showed the in-game character riding a Charizard on the pocket game's Poké Ride.
The Pokémon community is now all hyped with all these leaks. Players are already familiar with it or have an idea about it, but there are also new things the upcoming game will be offered for the first time, like the Trainer Passport. It is speculated that this feature will assist the players in keeping tabs of their acquired Pokémon characters in the game.
Back in 2013, a similar incident happened when "Pokémon X and Y" was about to be released. There were several story elements that came in as a surprise to the fans.
Meanwhile, pre-orders are up for the "Pokemon Sun and Moon," and retail outlets are offering promos for the game. Amazon is taking $8 dollars off from its original price of $40 for each game. Non-Amazon Prime members can even avail of the promo. Fans opting to purchase the game via the Nintendo 3DS online shop can download the game ahead of its release date, but the game will remain locked until the official release date.
"Pokémon Sun and Moon" will be released in many regions for the Nintendo 3DS on Nov. 18, while Europe will have the game by Nov. 23.
