Pokémon fans will be ecstatic to know that the Pokémon Company has formally announced the release date for its much awaited RPG game, "Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon." According to the announcement, the game will be out Nov. 20 in North America. 

Unfortunately, Pokémon fans in Europe will have to wait until early 2016 for the same game. However, this sad news has a nice tradeoff with the availability of the "Pokémon Omega Ruby" Starter Box and the "Pokémon Alpha Sapphire" Starter Box in European shores starting Oct. 30. 

There are a lot of things in store for Pokémon fans as announced by the official rundown of the game. It reads: 

"You'll get to pick one of 20 Pokémon to become your partner. With the Pokémon you choose, head out on a quest to encounter all 720 Pokémon, including Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. Set off a grand adventure as you explore ever-changing Mystery Dungeons and connect with Pokémon to save the Pokémon world!"

Aside from this added gameplay feature, the game also carries mega evolutions that allow players to make action replay codes, and the ability to smash through dungeon walls.

The Pokémon gaming craze started back in 2005 when "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team" was released together with "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team." This gaming franchise has already released a total of six games that have been a huge hit to Pokémon fans all over the world, selling 13 million copies in 10 years. The last installment, "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity," was released in 2012. 

Avid gamers and fans of Pokémon would be treated with a Pokéball cartridge case and Hoenn Pokédex poster that comes free for every game purchase, very similar to what happened with the U.K. release of "Pokémon X & Y" in 2013.
