Update 2: The second special event is available if you’ve had the demo for at least four days. There is a small conversation with Lillie, who will be a main character in the full game.
Update: The first special event is now available if you’ve had the demo for at least a day. Talk to the man outside the Pokemon Center to recieve 10 Pretty Wings.
One of the incentives for playing the Pokemon Sun & Moon demo is the ability to send stuff from the demo to the full version of the game. In the demo, there are various tasks you can take on – once you clear them, your reward will be something that you can send to the full version of the game. Just talk to Professor Kukui in the Pokemon Center and select what you want to send. Note, however, that you need save data from the full version to do this, so you can’t send anything just yet.
Here is a list of tasks and their respective rewards:
- Clear the “main” part of the story, i.e. beat Plumeria – Greninja
- Beat three trainers on Ten Carat Hill, then beat the Ace Trainer near the exit – Star Piece
- Catch three Pokemon for the first time in the Pokemon-catching challenge on Ten Carat Hill – Nugget
- Talk to the woman on the eastern exit of the city (near the Slowpoke), then clear all the rocks with Tauros – Stardust x3

New Alola form revealed via the Japanese Alola Pokedex guide
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
As we’re getting closer to the release of Pokemon Sun & Moon, more and more Pokemon are being revealed – intentionally or not. In truth, the entire Pokedex has already been laid bare via datamining the demo that was released on Tuesday, but if you’re just sticking to the official channels, you don’t know everything just yet.
Another new Alola form has today been revealed, somewhat accidentally, via the cover of the official Japanese Alola Pokedex guide book. Among a variety of new Pokemon and Alola forms, you can also see the Alola form of Persian. Given Alolan Meowth, the existence of Alolan Persian is not exactly a surprise. For spoiler reasons, head past the break for a picture of it.

When asked about the starter Pokemon he’ll be going with, Masuda pointed to Litten. He said:
“At home I have a really tiny cat. …it’s 3 kilograms. it crawls around, gets right on my shoulder, so I’m a cat man. I think I’ll probably go with Litten.”

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon push the old 3DS to the max
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 50 Comments
Do you remember how Smash Bros. would restart after closing the game on an older 3DS system? Well, now we have another game that operates similarly.
Those who have been playing the Pokemon Sun/Moon demo on older 3DS models (not the New 3DS), noticed that the system fully reboots after it’s been closed. Miiverse is also disabled, and the Home Menu lags while the demo is open.
It just goes to show how many resources Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon require. Of course, if you’re on a New 3DS, you won’t ever run into anything like this.
