New Sun and Moon gameplay and Pokémon! The video shows new Pokémon, new evolutions and new moves! Let us know what you think of the new Pokémon designs and gameplay mechanics!

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.

Two New Pokemon Revealed for Pokemon Sun and Moon

The upcoming edition of CoroCoro magazine reveals two new Pokemon via a set of leaked images, further adding to the number of obtainable creatures in Pokemon Sun and Moon.

Images have leaked from the latest edition of CoroCoro magazine, showing off two new creatures that will be making their debut in the upcoming Pokemon Sun and Moon.
Since the announcement of the new Pokemon titles, Nintendo have been keeping quiet about what new features Sun and Moon will be bringing to the franchise, making it all the more excitement-worthy that we are finally getting to see more of the new creatures.

Pokémon Sun and Moon's legendaries, trainers and more revealed in latest trailer

Pokémon Sun and Moon's starring legendaries make their full debut in the game's latest trailer, alongside a closer look at the game's central region. Watch the video above to see the psychic/steel-type Solgaleo (on the cover of Sun) and psychic/ghost-type Lunala (the face of Moon) show off their special move.

Nintendo announces new information regarding Pokémon Sun and Moon will be revealed June 2nd

Small news message today: The official Japanese Pokémon Twitter has put some further information out about the timing of the announcement on June 2nd. It confirmed that the information will be posted to the official Japanese website at 22:00 JST. That's 13:00 UTC, 14:00 BST, 15:00 CEST, 09:00 EDT, 06:00 PDT and 23:00 AEST. We'll post the news the second that it comes so be sure to keep checking back.

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.

Take a closer look at Pokémon Sun and Moon's new starters

Five more Pokémon have joined the series' cast of 722, thanks to this morning's reveal of Pokémon Sun and Moon's starters and, more mysteriously, the legendaries on the boxes' covers. Stateside, we got a trailer that briefly showed off the fire, water and grass-types that trainers will have to choose from on Nov. 18, when the Nintendo 3DS games launch. (Japanese fans were treated to an even longer look at the Generation 7 Pokémon titles.)

Picking a starter Pokémon might be the most important decision a trainer makes in-game. But how does one choose? Helpfully, The Pokémon Company has since updated the games' website with deeper descriptions of the three newbies. With the increased information, we're here to help players start building their team of Pokémon so they can be ready when the games arrive, six months from now. As for the legendaries, we still don't know too much — but that won't stop us from offering our take on the Pokémon pair.

Rowlet

This little guy is called the "Grass Quill Pokémon." Clearly inspired by an owl, this grass/flying-type has a clear fashion sense — check out that leafy bowtie.

Even classier is Rowlet's steely silence, despite the friendly demeanor. The official description mentions that the bird can "attack without making a sound," giving it the ability to fly past its blissfully ignorant foes to land some killer kicks or send some leaves in its direction with the move Leafage.

As any owl can, Rowlet can also spin its head almost 180 degrees. We have to appreciate the commitment to real biology here, even if that particular note freaks us out a little.

Pokémon Sun and Moon arrive november 18th, starter Pokémon and cover Pokémon revealed!

In a brief trailer released this morning, Nintendo gave eager Pokémon masters some important details on the forthcoming Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon: the games will launch on November 18th; as usual, each game will include a new as-yet-unnamed legendary mascot and new grass-, fire-, and water-type starter Pokémon.

The starters include Popplio, a water-type seal; Litten, a fire-type disinterested-looking cat (so, a cat); and Rowlet, a grass- and flying-type owl with an adorable little leafy bow tie (clearly the best of the three). Pokémon Sun's story will presumably revolve around the big sunny lion on the cover, where Moon will feature a big crescent-shaped bat.

First Pokémon Sun and Moon info is coming next week

New information about Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will be revealed on May 10, producer Junichi Masuda confirmed. The reveal is planned for 8 a.m. PT., and Masuda's teasing that it's "big news to everyone in the world."

Several official Pokémon Twitter accounts retweeted Masuda's announcement, including the North American one. In a blog post, Masuda neglected to say whether the news would come in the form of a livestream and offered no further hints.

Regardless, it's the first time fans will learn more about Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon since they were announced for a worldwide holiday release. The Pokémon Company revealed the logos and release date for the Nintendo 3DS games in February, after a trademark application hinted that they were the next titles in the franchise.

In April, Masuda appeared on a Japanese television show to debut what was teased as a new look at the next Pokémon games. Instead, he showed off the Pokémon 20th anniversary video that aired stateside ahead of the franchise's birthday. Later in the show, he joked that the games would include "over 10 new Pokémon."

User question: Will a Pokémon Sun rom for my Android phone be released?

A frequent visitor asked me if there will also be an Android version of the Pokémon Sun rom. While it's still early to go into detail about the technical possibilities, I do have high hopes that the roms will also be available to be played on your mobile devices. From the little technical details we know so far, Pokémon Sun will use the same engine and software as the previous generation of Pokémon games.

Hence, the Pokémon Sun rom will probably be available for Android too. Pokémon X and Y were the first versions that had a demo. If Nintendo releases a demo for Pokémon Sun, I will be able to confirm this news!

Two New Pokemon Names Discovered And Trademarked - Are they The Sun & Moon box art Pokémon?

It has been recently discovered that two new Pokemon names have been discovered and they are believed to be the names of some new Pokemon for the Sun and Moon video games. The trademarks for Solgaleo (ソルガレオ) and Lunaala (ルナアーラ) had been filed back in February.
The website Serebii reported that the two trademarks were filed by Yusuke Inui, a Japanese IP instead of by Nintendo themselves, Pokemon, Game Freak or Creatures since they all are stakeholders of the franchise.

It is possible that Yusuke Inui was a proxy to try and prevent any leaks of Pokemon Sun and Moon’s logo before they are officially announced.
As we have seen, major Pokemon Sun and Moon news is currently promised to be released this May making a lot of fans think that the new Pokemon Solgaleo and Lunaala might be announced as well.

Sony, Warner Bros., Legendary Pictures battle for Pokémon movie rights

According to a report posted on The Hollywood Reporter, The Pokémon Company is planning an auction for the Pokémon movie rights, which has led to a massive bidding war between several film studios.

According to the report, American film studios Warner Bros. Entertainment and Sony Pictures Entertainment have expressed interest in possessing the film rights. However, the report mentions that another potential bidder, film financing firm Legendary Pictures, may come out as the potential victor of the bidding war, despite a representative for Legendary declining talks of an offer being put on the table.

Legendary Entertainment's filmography includes box office blockbusters like 300, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Pacific Rim, and the 2014 reboot of Godzilla. Last year, Legendary scored big with the box office behemoth Jurassic World and the critically-acclaimed drama biopic Straight Outta Compton at Universal Studios, who currently has a five-year motion picture financing/distribution agreement with Legendary beginning in 2014.

Top 5 Possible Legendary Pokémon For Sun and Moon

It's a fact that the sun and moon lore of the new Pokémon games lend themselves for some very interesting legendary pokémons. Maybe even a new type of evolution will be introduced that has a sun and moon-related mechanic to it? In this video, the top 5 of most possible new legendary Pokémon are collected. What do you think will be new legendaries and cover pokémon? Let me know below!

Two videos show possible first gameplay features of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon

Interesting two videos have surfaced on the internet. The first one is from a Japanese TV show that hints at some stuff for the new Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. The other one, is right here, a supossed leaked video showing a battle between a Greninja and a new Pokémon called "Jalapaga". Its look very... Real! Have a look yourself:

Pokémon Sun and Moon = Gold and Silver Theory

Lately there is a new theory going around about the Pokémon Sun and Moon games. People  claim to have found evidence that the new games will take place in the same region as Silver and Moon. YouTuber TheOneIntegral has pieced together some interesting evidence. Think he is on to something? Watch the video here and share your opinion!

Six Things Fans Like to See in Pokemon Sun and Moon

As we wait for the release of the recently announced Pokemon Sun and Moon,we have collected the most wanted features by the fans.

Despite the excitement of Pokemon Sun and Moon‘s announcement during Nintendo’s Pokemon-themed direct, very little has been revealed about the upcoming game besides the fact that it will be a new main series title.
Due to the lack of information in the company’s brief presentation, all we can do is speculate about the upcoming games, though some eagle-eyed fans have noticed that the presented concept art hints at the next adventure possibly having a tropical setting. While we don’t know much about what the new titles are going to be like, here are just some of the things we hope will be in Pokemon Sun and Moon.

A Better Rival

The original Pokemon games had great rivals that would occasionally pop up to test the player’s skills in battle. The Kanto region had Blue, Johto had Silver, and Hoenn had May/Brendan – as well as Wally. The thing is, as the games go on, The Pokemon Company seem to be diluting down the rival experience in place of allowing more characters to join the player’s journey. In the latest region, Kalos, the player has 4 friends that will turn up from time to time.
The thing is, while Blue and Silver’s teams would fill up and develop alongside the player’s, even the last time you encounter your friends in Pokemon X and Y, they still haven’t caught 6 Pokemon. Not only does this make them easier to beat but it actually serves to remove almost all of the threat in them challenging you to a battle. Here’s hoping that Sun and Moon brings back that same intensity that we saw when facing Blue in the Pokemon league for the first time.

Finally, The First POKÉMON GO Footage Appears!

Don’t freak out, but it looks like Niantic CEO John Hanke might have revealed the first gameplay footage of the company’s highly-anticipated mobile game, Pokémon Go, at SXSW. The footage has unsurprisingly made its way to the web and you can peep the clip (via YouTuber Eric F) for yourself above.

While many believe that the voice in the video sounds a lot like Hanke, we can’t 100% confirm this is authentic since he doesn’t appear in the clip. That being said, however, this does look like it’s legit, especially when you consider the fact that Pokémon Go will be field tested relatively soon in Japan.
In the short clip, Hanke talks about how monsters will be distributed all over the world, and how each one lives in the habitat that makes the most sense for its type. That means you won’t be finding a Squirtle out in the middle of the desert or Charmander in the sea. The encounter shown in the video features everyone’s favorite grass-type, Ivysaur. When the person who’s running the demo has trouble catching the little critter with a normal Poké Ball, they go into their inventory and switch to a Master Ball (why?!) instead. As you can imagine, it works like a charm.

Based on the footage shown, it looks like switching the ball type will be an important aspect of the title’s gameplay. It will be interesting to see whether this will play out as a micro-transaction within the game. I also wonder whether the monsters will be able to run away like they do in the RPGs. So many questions!

All-in-all, this project looks promising. What do you think of the footage? Is there anything in particular that caught your eye? Will you be playing this once it releases later this year? Let us know in the comments below.

Pokemon Theory - Pokemon Sun and Moon Location Revealed?

Since the announcement trailer for Pokémon Sun and Moon was released last week, people have been discussing in what location the new games will be set. Will it be based on a real country again like X and Y or will old regions be able to be visited again?

YouTuber Verlisify made a torough dissection of the Pokémon Sun and Moon trailer and makes a good case that Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will be set in... Hawaii! Want to find out what all the evidence is? Make sure to check out the video above!

Do you agree Hawaii will be state the next Pokémon region will be based on or do you have another suggestion? Let us know!

Pokémon Sun and Moon: What we know so far

First appearing on Game Boy in 1996, Pokémon has been a cultural phenomenon for two decades. You play as a ‘trainer’, travelling the land and capturing wild Pokémon (Pocket Monsters) before sending them into battle. It has spawned TV shows and movies, and remains one of gaming’s most treasured series. Now Nintendo has announced Sun and Moon, the latest entrants into its famous Pokémon series. Here is what we know so far…

Pokémon Sun and Moon will release ‘Late 2016’ for Nintendo 3DS

While there was no definite release date, Nintendo confirmed in a short celebratory Pokémon video that Sun and Moon will be coming for Christmas this year. It will release on the handheld 3DS, meaning it is the second fully-fledged Pokémon the console has seen following Pokémon X&Y (in addition to the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire remakes).

Pokémon Sun and Moon officially revealed, release later this year

Nintendo announced this morning that Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are the next new games in the franchise. The games will launch worldwide on Nintendo 3DS this holiday season. You can watch the quick reveal at the tail end of the series-spanning anniversary video above.

The games will come with nine language options, according to the announcement, including Chinese for the first time.

The news came from the company's special Pokémon-centric Nintendo Direct, held today in advance of the series' 20th anniversary tomorrow, Feb. 27. Fans discovered Pokémon Sun and Moon ahead of the official reveal, however, when the logos and trademark applications turned up last week in a European trademark database.



Pokémon Sun and Moon are the first mainline Pokémon games since Pokémon X and Y, which launched on Nintendo 3DS in 2013. These were followed by Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, which were 3DS remakes of 2003's Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire on Game Boy Advance.

Although little else is known yet about the two games comprising Pokémon's next generation of role-playing games, a new legendary Pokémon was recently unveiled. It's expected that Magearna, who will premiere in this summer's newest Pokémon movie, is the first of generation seven's new collectible monsters.

Information about the posibilities of a working rom for these games will be released later.
