A Japanese retailer accidentally published details of the release of the newest Pokémon game but the community were split on whether the release date for June 23rd was accurate! Well it has been confirmed, Japanese Trainers will be getting their hands on the sequel come June but European/US gamers will have to wait until Autumn before they have a chance to play!

Trainers will hail from the Unova region and the map has been given some updates offering players a chance to explore upgraded areas and some new ones including Hitogi city where your journey as a trainer will begin.
