'Pokémon Z' release date: Junichi Masuda making big announcement in November?

It has been a while since folks last heard anything about "Pokémon Z," but all that could be soothed soon if the scheduled appearance of "Pokémon" games director Junichi Masuda at a popular Japanese TV show offers anything special.

Masuda made the announcement via Twitter and now folks eagerly awaiting for the release of "Pokémon Z" are excited. Will fans get some update on the game which has so far been quiet in almost all of October?

Of course, it could be premature to conclude at this point, but seeing that the usual media outlets like the CoroCoro Magazine have failed to provide an update on the said game, his coming appearance seems a bit odd and, well, fishy.

Many are hoping for a release date and hopefully, this will be the case. But if not, what else could Masuda be discussing on the TV show?

Well, he could end up tackling other stuff like perhaps the Zygarde forms or maybe even the Ash Greninja which will be appearing on the "Pokémon" anime. If not those, he could be appearing to shed some light on the real score behind the Pokémon Go mobile app.

The possibilities on the reason behind his TV appearance are endless, the release date of "Pokémon Z" included.

Other than that, it would perhaps best to pray that the Nov. 14 edition of CoroCoro holds something that would interest Pokémon fans. The October issue has been leaked but sorry, no word about "Pokémon Z" game there.

A consolation, of course, comes in the form of the "Pokémon XY & Z" anime instead. According to the leak, the first Pokémon of the Week will be Xerneas. This will be released during the initial telecast of "Pokémon XY & Z." It will be followed by Yveltal then Zygarde.

Well, right now, that is just about it. "Pokémon Z" fans may have to wait until mid-November for possible updates so let us just wait and see.
