Update: Several Youtube channels have saved and re-uploaded the original videos. This also gave us what are presumably the English names of these Pokemon. We’ve put them past the break.

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon appear to have suffered from a potentially big leak. While not officially confirmed, now-removed video clips show what appear to be a bunch of new Pokemon. Since this does seem legitimate and falls under spoiler territory, we’ve posted the gallery showing the new creatures after the break.

With the Link’s Awakening DLC pack releasing for Hyrule Warriors, Koei Tecmo has released a new, extended trailer, showing off content such as Marin, Linkle’s Pegasus Boots, the Koholint Island Adventure Map, and new costumes. Check it out below:
