During the last Nintendo World Report, J.C. Smith, Pokemon Company's International Director for Consumer Marketing, revealed one key information about the upcoming Pokemon game. During the event, Smith was asked, almost begged in fact by several news outlets to give, at the very least, one word that would describe their latest offering.

While hesitant, Smith spilled just one hint to satisfy the urges of his interviewers – "flowers." His teaser sent Pokemon fans into a frenzy; speculating on what "flowers" might mean for what was speculated to be the company's latest project — "Pokemon Z."

Unfortunately for them, it seems like the speculations are unfounded as recently, The Pokemon Company announced its partnership with Niantic, a Google start-up, in developing a Pokemon mobile application – "Pokemon Go." While the confirmation is exciting for long-time fans of the successful franchise, the development of "Pokemon Go" seems to be an indication that "Pokemon Z" has been put in the back burner. Nevertheless, the Android mobile app is more than enough to satisfy fans' "Pokemon" fix.

So what does "Pokemon Go" has in store for the series' key demographics?

Three days ago, John Hanke, founder of Niantic, explained the very exciting ins and outs of the application their working on. According to him, it would allow players to experience being a Pokemon trainer in the context of the real world.

"For the first time, Pokémon will roam free in the real world. Pokémon GO will allow players to capture Pokémon who inhabit parks, shopping areas, sidewalks and the countryside all around the world. Imagine discovering a Squirtle hiding along the waterfront in San Francisco, a Bulbasaur at Shinjuku Station or a Pikachu beneath the Eiffel Tower," he said.

Neither The Pokemon Company nor Niantic has revealed the official release date of "Pokemon Go." However, it has been confirmed that the app would be available for free for both Android and iOS users come the turn of the year.
