Well... there it is. Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, coming Fall 2016 worldwide for the 3DS. There's been some brief snippets of concept art floating around but other than that, info about the games is largely unknown.

pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-sun-and-pokemon-moon/

As we celebrate 20 years since the launch of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green in Japan, the next era of Pokémon games is being announced! Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are coming out for systems in the Nintendo 3DS family in holiday 2016, with a new world, new Pokémon, and new adventures to discover! Watch the first teaser for Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon at the top of the page.

Using Pokémon Bank, you'll be able to transfer Pokémon you've caught in the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console versions of Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow into your copy of Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon. Pokémon from Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, and Pokémon Y can also be brought into Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon in the same way.

Visit the Pokémon Bank page for important details on the planned update to support Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will be the first games in the Pokémon series to allow players to choose from nine languages to play in. In addition to English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish, players will now be able to play in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese.

Much more information is on the way about Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. Keep checking Pokemon.com for the latest details!

Woo so Pokemon Sun and Moon is real? smiley I'm getting Moon for sure, my girlfriend will be getting Sun. Now if only I can find my 2DS before these games come out... >_> Also Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow are getting re-released tomorrow! And best of all, the glitches aren't patched which makes me very happy! smiley

Yup, Sun and Moon are quite real, I'd guess they're the start of Gen VII. Some people suspect the region it's in might be based off Spain. The aforementioned Magiana will be from these games I suppose.

Also you'll be able to transfer Pokemon from the new releases of Red, Blue and Yellow to Sun and Moon. smiley Apparently the Mew glitch works on these games too, but no idea if you'll be able to transfer the Mew after.

So many are confused as to whether Sun and Moon are seventh gen or 6.5. The picture of the movie Pokemon is now called Magearna, I liked the other one better. smiley I know what I'll be getting this year for Christmas, Sun and Moon.

I have no idea if I will get RBY on the virtual console, no money to buy them and I doubt they'll be free.

Apparently CoroCoro will start releasing info on Sun and Moon starting from the next issue released on April 15th 2016. All will be kind of quiet until then.

New info, Magiana's official name is Magearna, the Artificial Pokemon, and it is a Steel/Fairy type, so no new types here. It is a rare legendary/Mythical Pokemon meaning it cannot be obtained through normal gameplay, and will likely be downloadable only.

Thanks for that! In addition to the above vid I'll post more here:

Starters for Pokemon Sun and Moon!


The Grass/Flying type Rowlet.


The Fire type Litten.


The Water-type Popplio.





So a Grass/Flying baby owl, a Fire kitten, and a Water monk seal then. Sun and Moon is also set in the Aloha region. Looks based off Hawaii of course.



The legendaries look to be some kind of lion and a bat I think. Release date is November 18, 2016.


Changing skin colour is also back from X and Y, and it looks like changing clothes might be back as well.

So hard to choose only two of the three, I usually base my starter choice on the first few gyms. I hate struggling and dying early on, pisses me off. One reason why I never chose Charmander in RBY as my starter, the first two gyms would wreck it. But hey if it's compatible with XYORAS I have plenty of baby starter Pokemon and others that will let me dominate the first half of the game.
