Bellevue, Washington – June 2, 2016 – The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo today introduced the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala that can be found in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. The latest generation of Pokémon video games will launch in North America on November 18, exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. In addition to the details about these powerful Pokémon, new characters in the game and new features were also revealed.
The two legendary Pokémon that appear on the packaging of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon play a crucial role in the story. Solgaleo and Lunala hold the key to the adventure that can be found in these highly anticipated games.
Name: Solgaleo
Category: Sunne Pokémon
Height: 11?02?
Weight: 507.1 lbs.
Type: Psychic/Steel
Ability: Full Metal Body
Along with today’s new trailer, the official Pokemon Sun/Moon site was updated today. It includes information about one aspect that wasn’t really mentioned in the video: a QR Scanner.
Here’s the rundown:
In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, there is a QR Scanner function that allows you to see information about Pokémon when you scan QR Code patterns. With the QR Scanner, you scan in a QR Code and check the information about the Pokémon that corresponds to that QR Code. There are QR Code patterns in various places all around you, so try scanning them.
Register Pokémon in Your Pokédex!
By scanning in special QR Code patterns you can register Pokémon of the Alola region to your Pokédex and find out where they live. If you scan in the QR Code for a Pokémon that you haven’t yet caught, you can check its habitat and search it out.
Share QR Code Patterns of Pokémon!
You can display the QR Code patterns for Pokémon you have caught in your own Pokédex. If you and a friend show each other the QR Code patterns for Pokémon you have caught, you can both register the Pokémon in your Pokédexes!
Last month, the first Pokemon Sun/Moon gameplay trailer was shown, complete with a first look at the new starters. Now we have another update on the upcoming entry.
Here’s a new trailer:
Today’s video shows quite a few things. First, Solgaleo and Lunala are confirmed as the new legendary Pokemon names (and we get to see their abilities). The trailer also shows off other characters in the game, customization, and the Rotom Pokedex.
