Unfortunately, Game Freak didn’t quite manage to do what it needed to to hide some of Pokemon Sun/Moon’s secrets in the new demo. YouTube user Kaphotics has been data mining extensively, and has shared some major information about the final game. Head past the break for more.
While everyone is busy playing the Pokemon Sun & Moon demo version, CoroCoro have released some gameplay footage from the full version of the game. The video shows the player facing off against the first Totem Pokemon in the full version of the game – in Pokemon Sun, that is Gumshoos (in Pokemon Moon, you will encounter Alolan Raticate instead). Give it a watch:
Nintendo made good on its “late morning” promise from yesterday’s press release. The Pokemon Sun & Moon demo is out now on the eShop across Europe and the UK.
Fittingly for the last half of October, Pokemon Shuffle is featuring its latest update around Ghost-type and spooky Pokemon. There is a new stage featuring a special Spooky form of Sableye. There is also a safari featuring Zubat, Drifloon, Pumpkaboo (Spooky), Gourgeist (Spooky), Golbat, Crobat, and Pikachu (Spooky). There is a new stage for Driftblim, as well as returning stages for Hoopa and Landorus.
All stages except Landorus will run until November 1. Landorus will run until October 25 and can be played once a day.
A lot of data is getting mined from the Pokemon Sun and Moon demo, and the final forms of the three starters are some of the first to be hit. Head past the break to see the leaked models:
Monster Hunter Stories came to Japan on October 8. Capcom now intends to release a soundtrack based on the game, which is set for November 9 with a 3,000 yen price point. It has a cover jacket that’s the same as the game’s package illustration, where the protagonist is riding on a Rathalos.
Capcom’s soundtrack will include two discs. Additionally, all copies feature a full-color booklet. It also comes with a QR code that unlocks a usable in-game item.
Those playing through the new Pokemon Sun/Moon demo have spotted a new Alolan Form Pokemon. Since this might be considered a spoiler for some, head past the break for more.
