You can continue on below for a bunch of information about the new reveals. This includes Z-Moves, Alola trials, kahuna, new Pokemon, and more.

London, United Kingdom: August 1, 2016— The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo revealed powerful Z-Moves in addition to new characters and Pokémon that can be found in the highly anticipated Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon video games, available exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. These fascinating Alola region characters and Pokémon will appear in the latest generation of Pokémon video games that will launch in North America on November 18.

Z-Moves
Z-Moves are a new element that has been introduced into the Pokémon battles in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. Z-Moves are powerful moves that can only be used once during battle. The explosive force of a Z-Move is the result of both the Trainer and Pokémon releasing their full power together when their wishes resonate with each other. All Pokémon are capable of using Z-Moves in battle.

To use Z-Moves, two key items are required: a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal. The Z-Ring fits on a Trainer’s arm, and Z-Crystals are set into it. If a Pokémon holds the same variety of Z-Crystal as its Trainer, the two will be able to resonate with one another.

To guide 3DS owners’ play this summer, Nintendo has released a Summer Gaming List. It’s meant to be “a video game version of all those summer reading lists you had when you were a kid.” The list “is great for any kind of player, whether you are a more casual gamer looking for something easy to pick up and play, or a serious fan ready for a challenging adventure.” It can also provide fans with knowledge about games for Nintendo systems.

Here’s the full list:

For the Action Buff – Kirby: Planet Robobot
For the Collector – Pokémon Omega Ruby / Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
For the Competitor – Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
For the Social Butterfly – Animal Crossing: New Leaf
For the Thrill Seeker – Mario Kart 7
For the Disney Fan – Disney Art Academy
For the Adventurer – The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
For the Nostalgia Lover – New Super Mario Bros. 2

And Nintendo’s explanation of the list:

“The list is simple: Just start with the game that feels best for you and work your way through the rest. You can battle enemies with Kirby while waiting for the burgers to be done in your backyard, paint princesses while playing in the park or unleash a Final Smash while relaxing on the beach. You can even race with Mario and friends during a road trip to your favorite summer location (just watch out for flying Banana Peels!).”
