Recent "Pokémon Z" news revealed that Dark Mewtwo may be featured in the game along with three more Legendary Pokémon.
Christian Today reported that Dark Mewtwo's appearance in Bandai Namco's arcade game "Pokken Tournament" could be hinting at the existence of "Pokémon Z." Dark Mewtwo could be the third Mega Evolution for the psychic Pokémon and may be featured in the highly-anticipated 3DS game.
Dark Mewtwo is the latest boss character for the "Pokken Tournament" game. IGN also speculated that this new form of the psychic Pokémon may appear in future games such as "Pokémon Z."
Some say that Dark Mewtwo could be the combined version of "Pokémon X and Y" and "Pokémon Z." Others suggested that this new form is exclusive to the "Pokken Tournament" game and might not be featured in other games.
CT commented that the psychic Pokémon could also be another time-exclusive event gift, similar to Shiny Xerneas and Shiny Yveltal. Other details pointing to "Pokémon Z" are the different forms of legendary Pokémon Zygarde and the launch of "Pokémon XY and Z" anime series.
There are speculations that "Pokémon Z" may be released with Mewtwo's new form before another entry is published in the series. According to Kpopstarz, the 3DS game is currently being developed by a third-party company instead of Game Freak and The Pokémon Company.
Christian Post reported that "Pokémon Z" may feature three Legendary Pokémon instead of just Zygarde. Xerneas and Yveltal from "Pokémon X and Y" are also said to appear in the upcoming title.
The "Pokémon Z" release date is rumored to be released during the first quarter of next year. More news may be revealed this month as series director Junichi Masuda makes his appearance in an episode of Pokémon no Uchi (Pokémon Get TV), a variety show in Japan.
There are speculations that Masuda could be bringing the latest "Pokémon Z" news then. The game director has a track record of making guest appearances on Pokémon's variety shows in the past and revealing major game announcements.
