The Japanese Pokemon Sun/Moon website has been updated with more screenshots and art from the two games. We’ve rounded up the images below.
The Pokemon Company has now sent out an official announcement about today’s news pertaining to new Pokemon featured in Sun/Moon.
First, we have the following art:
And here’s the lineup of Pokemon:
Name: Tapu Koko
Type: Electric/Fairy
Tapu Koko is the guardian deity of Melemele Island, one of the islands of the Alola region. Tapu Koko’s Ability is Electric Surge, an Ability which has never been seen before. The Electric Surge Ability fills the field around the Pokémon’s feet with electricity when it appears, raising the power of any Electric-type moves for Pokémon on the ground and preventing any Pokémon from falling asleep.
Name: Charjabug
Type: Bug/Electric
Charjabug is the first Evolution of Grubbin, a new Alola region Pokémon revealed last month. Charjabug’s Battery Ability allows it to raise the power of allies’ special moves.
Along with newly-revealed Pokemon, a returning feature has been confirmed for Sun/Moon. We now know that it will be possible to ride Pokemon in the two games. You can see how this looks in Sun/Moon through the screenshot above.
Here are a couple of other random screenshots shared today:
Yesterday, seven new Pokemon leaked for Pokemon Sun/Moon. That prompted The Pokemon Company to release a new trailer for the game showing each creature officially. We now have the English equivalent of the video, posted below.
Atlus released a new commercial for Etrian Odyssey V. In Japan, the game is due out on August 4. View the advert below.
Circle Entertainment isn’t slowing down its efforts to localize 3DS eShop games. Today, the publisher announced plans to bring over Kingdom’s Item Shop (may go by a different name in the west) from PUMO, originally released in 2014.
Here’s the news from Twitter:
