The official Japanese Twitter account has accidentally revealed the final starter evolutions of Pokemon Sun & Moon via the covers of some TCG starter decks. While these evolutions have been known for months thanks to leaks and were confirmed via datamining the recent demo, this is their first official acknowledgment. However, it seems like this was not planned – the tweet was deleted about 30 minutes after it was posted.  Rowlet’s final evolution is known as Junaiba in Japan, Litten’s is Gaogaen and Popplio’s is Ashirenu.

Did you know that Jangmo-o was the first creature created for the new generation of Pokemon? Game Freak revealed that noteworthy to tidbit during a recent interview.

As for the most entertaining Pokemon to design for Sun/Moon, director Shigeru Ohmori pointed to Alolan Exeggutor. He explained that “When the designers first came up with the idea, the background is that the sun in Alola is so strong, that [Exeggutor] just keeps growing and growing.”

For the most part, the Pokemon Sun/Moon demo is the same on all 3DS systems. The experience itself is exactly the same obviously. Differences on New 3DS and regular 3DS (plus 2DS) systems come down to how it runs.

Just as we’ve talked about before, the demo disables things like Miiverse on older 3DS systems. It also causes the system to fully reboot when it’s closed.

You can view a comparison video between the New 3DS and regular 3DS below. Again, they’re mostly the same, though the New 3DS seems to handle the last battle better in terms of performance.
