"Pokemon Sun and Moon" release date are definitely around the corner. Rumors and leaks are ramping up as the new "Pokemon" game is set to arrive.

Earlier today, new gameplay options have leaked online. According to a post on Reddit and 4chan, a screenshot revealed stats and abilities of some Pokemon such as Rowlet and Trumbeak, and the game's story elements. Also, gameplay options are out in the open before "Pokemon Sun and Moon" official release date. These options include toggling the Battle Effects, Battle Style, and Text Speed. Players can also view other players' activities such as where they chose a starter Pokemon.

In addition, menu options show the list of players' Pokemon, Pokedex, Bag, and a new feature called Trainer Passport. Although the latter was a "never before seen" option, players think that this might keep tabs on their major milestones, Shack News reported.

Legendary Pokemons were also revealed. For "Pokemon Sun," players will get a hold of a new Pokemon called Solgaleo. The said Pokemon is a Psychic/Steel type capable of moves like Sunsteel Strike and Metal Body ability and can transform into the Radiant Sun phase. While "Pokemon Moon" features Lunala. It is a Psychic/Ghost type with Moongiest Beam and Shadow shield ability. From the game's title itself, this legendary Pokemon can transform into the Full Moon phase, according to Eurogamer.

Meanwhile, the rumored tie-up of Niantic and Nintendo is still uncertain. However, fans assume that the game developers have something in store for them. Rumors suggest that the upcoming "Pokemon" titles will be incorporated to the popular "Pokemon Go" as the latter gets an update on the same date as "Pokemon Sun and Moon" launched.

"Pokemon Sun and Moon" is slated for November 18 release date. Prior to this, news and updates are anticipated to turn up in the coming days.
