Pokemon Moon

Did you know that you can high-five Pokemon in Pokemon Sun/Moon? If you’re in Pokemon Refresh and tap the screen above one of your party members, the cute move will be triggered.

Apparently not all Pokemon will be up for a high-five. Polygon writes that creatures that it works best with creatures that more closely resemble animals. Litten, Growlithe, Meowth and other bi- and quadripedal Pokemon will be fine with sharing a high-five.


Unsurprisingly, Pokemon Sun/Moon boot up much quicker on New 3DS systems compared to the old 3DS. YouTube user bagszipoke provides an exact comparison in the video below.

Game Freak has a habit of including its office in the Pokemon RPGs. The tradition still holds true in the latest games, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. A video showing Game Freak’s office is posted below.

Most Pokemon in Pokemon Sun/Moon evolve naturally. In other words, once they reach a certain level, they’ll move on to their next form. There are quite a exceptions, however. Some Pokemon have special conditions that need to be met before they evolve.

Kotaku now has a list up that goes over many of these exceptions. With new Pokemon introduced this generation, it certainly comes in handy. Continue on below for the information.

Before the launch of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, information about some of the exclusive Pokemon was published online. However, that wasn’t the full list.

With Pokemon Sun/Moon now fully out in the wild, we have a better idea about the exclusives. Head past the break if you’re interested in knowing which creatures can be found only in each title.

Amazon’s Pokemon Sun/Moon Steelbook is one of a few new Dual Packs that launched for the two games. Check out an unboxing video below.

This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Pokemon month continues with some Pokemon Sun/Moon gameplay. Watch the full episode below.

North American retailers are offering all sorts of bundle packs. Amazon has the steelbook, and Best Buy/GameStop are selling a standard version with two codes that unlock 100 Poke Balls each.

Now on launch day, Target is selling an exclusive Dual Pack of its own. Copies include figures of the starters Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio. Place an order here if interested.

A massive amount of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon footage is now online – including the final boss and ending. We’ve rounded up all of the various videos below.

Nintendo started handing out bans to Pokemon Sun/Moon pirates this week. Not only are they unable to play the games online, but they’re also unable to access internet services on the 3DS itself such as the eShop.

We heard a few reports that some of the folks affected would only be banned fifteen days – mainly those who had only committed a first time offense. However, it would seem that it’s actually permanent.

In a customer service email Nintendo is sending out in Germany, bans won’t be undone and “undoing this is out of the question.” You can read it in full below.
