'Pokemon Sun and Moon' release date news 2016: Demo will not be at Milan Games Week; Q&A session scheduled

The "Pokemon Sun" and "Pokemon Moon" demo will not be at the upcoming Milan Games Week, Nintendo Italy has confirmed.

While fans of the upcoming role-playing video games are eager to get a taste of "Pokemon Sun " and "Pokemon Moon" before its scheduled November release, Nintendo continues to be frustratingly vague about the demo. While the company seems to have confirmed that there will indeed be a demo for "Pokemon Sun" and "Pokemon Moon," there have been no updates about when and where it will be unveiled.

In addition, Serebii.net webmaster Joe Merrick commented on the cryptic Nintendo Italy announcement, saying that there is something "very odd" about it. Merrick is known in the Pokemon community and is a self-styled "Pokemon Master."

"That's odd," he tweeted on Monday, Sept. 26. "Nintendo Italy put out a press release about Milan Games Week and specifically said the demo for Sun & Moon won't be there."

"Time to put on my detective hat, something is amiss," he later wrote. "It's very odd that they'd specifically mention that it won't be there."

Despite the confirmation that the demo will not be at Milan Games Week, which takes place between Oct. 14 and 16, the announcement makes it sound like Nintendo is still planning on releasing the demo. The question now is when this will occur.

Meanwhile, there will be a "Pokemon Sun" and "Pokemon Moon" Q&A session with director Shigeru Ohmori and producer Junichi Masuda on Nov. 18. Nintendo announced the event via Twitter on Tuesday, Sept. 27. The announcement was accompanied by an invitation for fans to send in their questions for Ohmori and Masuda.

Fans hoping to have their questions answered by the "Pokemon Sun" and "Pokemon Moon" bosses can tweet their questions to @NintendoAUNZ, the Nintendo Australia and New Zealand Twitter page.

"Pokemon Sun" and "Pokemon Moon" will arrive for the Nintendo 3DS on Nov. 18.
