The release of Pokemon Sun & Moon is getting ever closer, and we’ve reached another milestone today – the final event in the demo version is available today. Talk to the woman inside the building at the marina to see her off on her journey. As a reward, you will get a Comet Shard to send to the full game, which can be sold for quite a lot of money. Note that you can only start transferring items (and Greninja) once you actually have save data from the full version.
