Pokemon Sun/Moon only seems to support stereoscopic 3D with Poke Finder
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 51 Comments
Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon will have some stereoscopic 3D support, but its usage appears to be very minimal. IGN’s Jose Otero, who went hands-on with the games recently along with other media as part of a press tour, says he was told that the feature only works with Poke Finder.
Pokemon X/Y and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire all included 3D. It was disabled in a majority of the overworld, though the functionality was offered in most battles. The engine struggled at times, so cutting back on stereoscopic 3D should improve Sun/Moon’s performance.

Pokemon Sun & Moon file size
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS eShop, News | 25 Comments
Two days ago, we reported on the file size of the upcoming Pokemon Sun & Moon demo, which is about 400 MB or 3100 blocks. However, the official Japanese website for Sun & Moon, which is where that info came from, also revealed the file size for the full game via a warning that having both the demo and the full game downloaded would exceed the capacity of the standard-issue 4 GB SD card. The full game will take up 3.2 GB or about 26,200 blocks on your 3DS’ SD card. For comparison, Pokemon X & Y take up 1.7 GB and Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire take up 1.8 GB. Quite the jump up – the increased graphical detail in the overworld likely contributed a lot to that.
Overall, this makes Pokemon Sun & Moon the 4th largest game on the 3DS, behind Bravely Default, Bravely Second and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.
