The game developer of "PokÃ©mon GO," Niantic, and its game publisher, The PokÃ©mon Company, is planning to make a big announcement later this week. According to reports, the company is currently cracking down game tipsters; however, gameplay footage, as well as other leaks, have continued to increase and spread all over the Internet.

In a report by NeuroGadget, the company seemed to be following a timeline in making big announcements regarding the game. The beta version of "PokÃ©mon GO" was released on Mar. 3, which was followed by another beta announcement on April 7. Both events happened during the first Thursday of the month. On May 5, Niantic and Nintendo have released a teaser details about the upcoming game. Although it is not as big as the two previous events, many fans believe that the company will be making their announcements every first Thursday of each month.

Although the game has been slated to be released in 2016, nobody really knows when the company will release the full version of the title. As of now, all fans have are merely just rumors and speculations coming from different online gaming publications. There are rumors suggesting that the game might be released in June or sometime during the summer.

Meanwhile, Morning News USA reported that the new "PokÃ©mon GO" does not carry enough features most fans expected. The publication said that the manner PokÃ©mon trainers train their PokÃ©mon has changed significantly, which prompted many gamers to speculate that the new title will have a much different gameplay many players are used to.

Despite some negative reviews on the "PokÃ©mon GO" beta, Nintendo is hoping that the new game will be able to captivate many PokÃ©mon fans once it hits the market.

The game is said to be available for free during its release, according to a report by GottabeMobile. This would be good news to millions of PokÃ©mon fans all over the world.
