New Pokémons and new Battle Mode revealed during E3!

Nintendo showed off gameplay footage of Pokémon Moon and Sun during its Treehouse presentation at E3 on Tuesday. It can be seen below.

The gameplay footage started with the young trainer at the beginning of the game, starting his journey to travel across the Alola region and introduced a couple of new Pokémon. Yungoos, which looks like a honey badger, was introduced during a random battle in the tall grass pretty early in the gameplay demo. An adorable-looking woodpecker-type Pokémon named Pikipek was also revealed in a random tall-grass battle.

The Pokemon Sun And Moon Commercial Will Leave You Emotional

If you are familiar with game reveals, then you know how easy it is to get caught up in them. We all saw what the power of a new trailer does but now fans are more enthusiastic for what lies ahead. Pokemon Sun and Moon are the two titles that have the internet a buzz due to a formal trainer. But a lot of fans might have missed a new commercial that was revealed with it.

This new commercial is based around a young Japanese boy that leaves his home country to start over with his mother in Hawaii. Many fans may notice that the locale is based on the tropical location of Pokemon Sun and Moon. As we see, the transition takes its toll on him, but he finds a commonality among him and Pokemon.

The commercial gives a very touching twist to the realities of life, which any gamer would appreciate. The best part is that the commercial is a lot more viable as it crosses the language barrier that only Pokemon is able to do. So if you’d like to see it, here it is.

The internet's reactions to the new Pokemon Sun and Moon starters

The trailer for the new Pokemon Sun and Moon dropped today, and with it came the announcement of three new adorable starter pokemon.

There's Litten, naturally everyone's favorite because a) it's a cat, and b) it provides endless fodder for "It's lit!" jokes. Rowlet, an owl with the body of a chicken nugget, that is either wearing a leaf bow tie or a bra. And last and definitely least, Popplio, a silly clown-seal that fully deserves all of the hate it is currently receiving on Twitter, because look at this thing:

Rarely does the internet ever agree on anything, but it's unanimous on this front — Popplio sucks. Bojack Horseman designer Lisa Hanawalt pretty much correctly identified that Popplio is a Miranda:

 

 Webcomic artist KC Green nobly tried to keep the peace with a flawless 30 Rock reference:

 

What's most interesting about all of these responses are the very modern ways we're all reacting to this classic, beloved game of our childhoods. Pokemon is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, which means that those of us who grew up with the iconic series are now old enough to be on Twitter to make snarky jokes:

 

And to reimagine pokemon doing very hashtag 2016 things:

 

Perhaps the most impressive part about all this is the insane speed at which the Pokemon fandom has churned out their interpretations. The trailer's been out for half a day and already we're seeing perfect mash-ups and way too many variants of extremely buff Pokémon evolution predictions:

 

 

Lastly, I present to you the most 2016 thing of all: an entire nation thirsting for a brand. Go Canada!

 

Can you imagine if the internet had been around at the height of the Pokemon craze? How many memes might have been birthed? How many Twitter fights we would have gotten into over which pokemon is best? (It's Psyduck, end of discussion.) Judging from the internet's explosive reaction today, it looks like we're making up for lost time.
