Following yesterday’s leak via European trademarks, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon have been officially announced. Both were just revealed via a special Pokemon Direct broadcast.

No actual gameplay was shown – instead we were treated to sneak peaks of quick development footage. However, we do know that the two games will be launching around the world this holiday on 3DS. English, Italian, French, Spanish, Korean, German, and Japanese languages will be supported along with traditional and simplified Chinese.

Today’s Pokemon Direct will begin one hour from now. We’ve embedded the live stream below, similar to past presentations.

Since the broadcast will only last five (update: six) minutes, we’ve decided that a live blog wouldn’t make much sense. However, any major news will be added to the site immediately.

Update: And she’s gone!

Walmart put up some stock of the Fire Emblem Fates New 3DS XL yesterday, though it ended up selling out. Now, however, Best Buy is taking orders for the system again right here. Like Walmart, it’s unclear how long this will be available – probably not too long!

Back when Pokemon Yellow originally came out, players needed a Surfing Pikachu in order to access the mini-game Pikachu Beach. Moreover, the only way to obtain this Pokemon is with a copy of Pokemon Stadium.

Thankfully, Pikachu’s Beach is still in the 3DS Virtual Console version of Pokemon Yellow. Additionally, you now only need to talk to the man in the Summer Beach House near Fuchsia City to play.
