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.
