Pokemon Sun

If you thought the deluge of Pokemon Sun & Moon info was going to stop anytime soon after the several new trailers we got this week, you’re sorely mistaken. The official Japanese website revealed that the next wave of new information will be released on Wednesday, September 14th, at 10 PM JST / 3 PM CEST / 9 AM EDT / 6 AM PDT. This new info will likely come in the form of a new trailer.

That’s not all, though – the next issue of CoroCoro magazine is set to be released next week as well. The magazine has previously teased that it would reveal Rockruff’s evolution, among other things, in this issue. Historically, we should get leaked scans of the issue a couple of days ahead of its official release, possibly as early as this weekend. We will keep you updated.

We’ve been wondering who that Professor Oak-looking character is from the new Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer. As some had suspected, it’s not Oak himself. Instead, it’s a relative.

4Gamer confirms that the character is Nariya Oak, Professor Oak’s cousin. Aside from that we don’t know much. 4Gamer says that Nariya studies the region and Alola Forms… and that’s pretty much it!

The big question stemming from the just-released Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer concerns the character above. Who is he? If anything, he seems to be a part of the Oak family, as the name shown is the same as Professor Oak’s Japanese name.

It surely can’t be Professor Oak, right? Perhaps some sort of relative?

The Pokemon Company has just published another new trailer for Pokemon Sun/Moon. It’s almost entirely gameplay, but there are a few seconds of CG mixed in as well. Watch the trailer below.

As part of the latest Pokemon Sun/Moon website update, new comments were shared from director Shigeru Ohmori. He spoke about why he settled on the titles (“Sun” and “Moon”), the time difference between the two versions, and expressing night and evening.

Head past the break for all of Ohmori’s comments.

When Nintendo shared its PAX West lineup a couple of weeks ago, it said fans who pre-ordered Pokemon Sun/Moon at the expo would receive “a collectable gift.” Now we know what that is. At its booth, Nintendo was giving out an exclusive poster.

Here’s a better look at the gift from Nintendo’s Twitter page:


Thanks to Uro31 for the tip.

The second live-action Pokemon Sun/Moon was published on the Japanese Pokemon YouTube page today. It has some brief snippets of footage, including what seems to be a first look at Cutiefly’s evolution.

We’ve attached the screenshot of the Pokemon above. For the full video, watch it below.

One of the new elements in Pokemon Sun/Moon revealed today is the Poke Finder. The feature is built into the Rotom Dex, making it possible to take pictures of Pokemon at certain photo spots scattered throughout Alola. Pictures are evaluated, and you’ll unlock new functionality such as the ability to zoom in as you improve.

We’ve included some Poke Finder screenshots below.

Dexio and Sina, who were present in Pokemon X/Y as the professor’s assistants, are returning in Sun/Moon. The two will show up throughout the adventure as players progress.

At some point, after battling them, Dexio and Sina provide the Zygarde Cube. You’ll be asked to find Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells in the Alola region. Cores and Cells can be found across the world.

The Pokemon Company has issued an official press release about all of today’s Sun/Moon news. We have content pertaining to the new Pokemon, characters, Poke Finder, and time differences.

And the recap:

Today the Pokémon Company International and Nintendo revealed exciting new information for the latest games in the Pokémon franchise, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, coming to Europe on 23 November and available exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

Newly revealed Pokémon include:

Type: Null
Type: Normal
Type: Null is a Synthetic Pokémon which was constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon, making it adaptable enough to complete a mission that requires a Pokémon as strong as the Pokémon of mythology. The mask fitted to this Pokémon’s head is a piece of equipment designed to control its power. Type: Null is the partner Pokémon of a newly revealed character—Gladion, the taciturn enforcer of Team Skull, who places a high value on being strong in battle.
