Today the Pok\u00e9mon Company International and Nintendo revealed exciting new information for the latest games in the Pok\u00e9mon franchise, Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Pok\u00e9mon Moon, coming to Europe on 23 November and available exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.<\/p>\n
Newly revealed Pok\u00e9mon include:<\/p>\n
Type: Null \nType: Normal \nType: Null is a Synthetic Pok\u00e9mon which was constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pok\u00e9mon, making it adaptable enough to complete a mission that requires a Pok\u00e9mon as strong as the Pok\u00e9mon of mythology. The mask fitted to this Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s head is a piece of equipment designed to control its power. Type: Null is the partner Pok\u00e9mon of a newly revealed character\u2014Gladion, the taciturn enforcer of Team Skull, who places a high value on being strong in battle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jangmo-o \nType: Dragon \nThe Scaly Pok\u00e9mon Jangmo-o has the pride of a warrior and never neglects its training in its pursuit of becoming stronger. This Pok\u00e9mon uses the scales on its head as a weapon both offensively and defensively. It lives in harsh locales, like canyons, where it can train.<\/p>\n
Alolan Raticate \nType: Dark\/Normal \nRaticate in Alola live in urban areas, leading to a higher-calorie diet than that of Raticate elsewhere. This means they have tough bodies but have gotten a lot fatter. They stockpile huge amounts of food in their nests and prefer fresh fruit and high-class ingredients. Alolan Raticate is the Totem Pok\u00e9mon of the trial that takes place in Verdant Cavern on Melemele Island in Pok\u00e9mon Moon.<\/p>\n
Brand-new characters in the story were also announced\u2014members of the Aether Foundation, an organization that works in the Alola region and conducts various research projects. Residing on Aether Paradise, the artificial island that they created, their goal is to care for and provide shelter to Pok\u00e9mon that have been hurt. Members of the Aether Foundation include:<\/p>\n
Lusamine \nThe beautiful Lusamine is the president of the Aether Foundation.<\/p>\n
Faba \nFaba can be identified by his signature accessory\u2014green sunglasses. He is the Aether Foundation\u2019s second-in-command.<\/p>\n
Wicke \nAs the assistant branch chief of Aether Paradise, Wicke has a very caring personality and supports Faba. She is loved by all of the Aether Foundation\u2019s employees.<\/p>\n
Employees of the Aether Foundation \nThe staff members of the Aether Foundation appear to have various uniforms depending on which division they belong to.<\/p>\n
All over Alola, rumours speak of creatures that possess mighty powers and pose a threat to humans and Pok\u00e9mon. They\u2019re called Ultra Beasts, and there are said to be multiple Ultra Beasts in existence. It seems that the Aether Foundation is conducting research on these Ultra Beasts, referring to each of them by a code name. UB-01 is an Ultra Beast that has a body composed of a glass-like substance. It constantly changes shape, and its movements resemble that of a young girl. Whilst evidence of something like a survival instinct can be observed in UB-01, no one knows whether it has a will of its own or any emotions at all.<\/p>\n
Whilst exploring Alola in Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Pok\u00e9mon Moon, players will encounter Dexio and Sina. These two originally appeared in Pok\u00e9mon X and Pok\u00e9mon Y as the professor\u2019s assistants. They will give you an item called the Zygarde Cube and ask you to collect Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells which can be found all around Alola. If you collect enough, the path to finding Zygarde may become clearer!<\/p>\n
A brand-new feature called the Pok\u00e9 Finder will debut in Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Pok\u00e9mon Moon. This feature allows players to take pictures of the Pok\u00e9mon they find. It\u2019s loaded into the Rotom Dex and, when used in certain spots scattered throughout the Alola region, you can snap pictures of Pok\u00e9mon. The pictures you take will be evaluated, and as you take better pictures, more features\u2014like the ability to zoom\u2014become available.<\/p>\n
A huge difference between the two game versions\u2014Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Pok\u00e9mon Moon\u2014was also announced. In previous games, you could discover certain Pok\u00e9mon in only one of the two versions of the game. Now, in addition to this feature, there will be a difference in the way time is set in the two games. The two worlds of Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Pok\u00e9mon Moon are 12 hours apart and are tied to the actual time in real life. Pok\u00e9mon Sun operates on the same time as your Nintendo 3DS system, but time in the world of Pok\u00e9mon Moon is shifted by 12 hours. Some Totem Pok\u00e9mon which appear in the trials throughout the game will also be different in each version. Players will encounter different Pok\u00e9mon on the same route depending on whether it is day or night, which means players will have different experiences according to their chosen version of the game.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
