The release of "Pokémon Sun and Moon" is still a few days away, but those who pre-ordered the came can start downloading it on their Nintendo 3DS as early as now.

A report from TechnoBuffalo revealed that those who took advantage of the game's digital pre-order through the Nintendo 3DS eShop has an option of pre-loading the game on their handheld Nintendo consoles.

Each version of the game will use up to 3.2 GB of space, which means that players must make sure that they have enough storage capacity to be able to download the latest Pokémon game.

On the other hand, those who are still planning to purchase the upcoming "Pokémon Sun and Moon" will also receive a treat as long as they buy the game before January 11, 2017. Those who will do so will receive Pokémon Munchlax with Snorlium Z.

Meanwhile, there are reports claiming that players of "Pokémon Sun and Moon" would soon find themselves exploring a different region after they finished all the quest in the game's Alola region map.

According to Inquisitr, there could be a chance to see the game move towards the Sinnoh region where the adventures of "Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum" took place based on the evidence pointed out by a Reddit user named Dragonblessed.

The Redditor claimed that the Lustrous Orb, the Adamant Orb, and the Gresious Orb that can be seen in the "Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum" games can be found in the upcoming "Pokémon Sun and Moon" when players wander into the Teminus Cave of Kalos to fight against the renowned Pokémon Zygarde. However, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have yet to confirm if there is truth to the speculation.

While players in North America can start enjoying "Pokémon Sun and Moon" on Friday, Nov. 18, those who live in Europe will be able to get hold of the game on Wednesday, Nov. 23.
