Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will launch in Europe on November 23, exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

These are among the first Pokémon players will encounter in the game. In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, players will be able to choose between the newly discovered Grass- and Flying-type Pokémon Rowlet, Fire-type Litten, and Water-type Popplio.

For a Pokémon Trainer, knowing the Pokémon types and how they match up against one another in battle is vital. Grass-type Pokémon are strong against Water types, but weak against Fire types. Fire-type Pokémon are strong against Grass types and weak against Water types. And Water-type Pokémon are strong against Fire types, but weak against Grass types.

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon were announced at the end of February in celebration of the franchise’s 20th anniversary. Aside from some snippets of development footage, not much was shown. We also haven’t seen much of the games overall since then. Starting today, that’s starting to change.

The first Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer is now up, and it shows quite a bit. Rowlet, Litten, Popplio are confirmed as the starter Pokemon, and we also have a November 18 release date (November 23 in Europe). Alola is confirmed as the major region, and we’re also able to get a glimpse at the two mascot Pokemon.

Take a look at the debut Pokemon Sun/Moon gameplay trailer below.

We’re less than half a day away from some big Pokemon Sun/Moon news. Director Junichi Masuda promised information for early tomorrow, and has continued to make a big deal out of the event since then.

Masuda shared another brief update on his blog a few hours ago. In his post, he mentioned that fans should subscribe to the official Pokemon YouTube channel. One would have to assume that we’ll be getting a video (trailer) of some sort.

Regardless of what content is coming tomorrow, we’ll have it all here on the site!

Thanks to thedonrob for the tip.

In Japan, Game Freak has filed for a couple of interesting trademarks. The Pokemon developer registered the names “Solgaleo” as well as “Lunaala”. Folks are now speculating that these two could be the mascot starters in Pokemon Sun/Moon.

A trademark for “Gigareki” was also registered separately, but it’s not entirely clear what the name is for at present.

While it’s unknown if any of these trademarks are actually tied into Pokemon Sun/Moon, the possibility is certainly there. We can look forward to receiving official information on the two games within the next few weeks.

Update: In slightly related news, here’s an update on the Pokemon Elections pertaining to the movies from Serebii:

For the Pokémon Elections, announced last month, it is confirmed that the distribution Pokémon at the movie will be the winner. To enter, you need to get a card when prebooking the ticket and then send your vote in before May 8th. The winner will be announced in June and then distributed at the movie

In last month’s issue of CoroCoro, the magazine announced that its coverage of Pokemon Sun & Moon would start with this month’s issue. The first partial scan of said issue has come out and sadly, it doesn’t reveal much at all. In fact, it mostly seem to tease next month’s issue, where apparently the game’s covers will be revealed.

That said, we don’t have any full scans yet so they might still hold some new info, but I personally wouldn’t count on too much being revealed this month if they’re even saving the covers (and thus the first look at any Pokemon) for the next issue. Nonetheless, we will keep you updated should any other interesting news come out of this month’s issue.

Update (4/2): Bumped to the top. Nothing new was shown, sadly. Masuda was in attendance, but they only went over the trailer that was shown during the Pokemon Direct in February. This was technically the first TV airing of the video, but it’s disappointing nonetheless!

Original (3/26): It was already made clear that we’d be getting a proper look at Pokemon Sun/Moon in the near future thanks to CoroCoro’s upcoming issue. However, we now have confirmation that gameplay will be shared very soon.

Next week’s episode of the Japanese variety show Pokenchi (Gathering at the Pokemon House) is confirmed to show the first TV aired footage of the new games. Game Freak director Junichi Masuda should also be in attendance to talk about Sun/Moon.

Pokenchi’s upcoming episode airs on April 3 in Japan.
