WHAT VERSION YOU ARE GETTING??

I am getting Moon, no questions about it.



The news comes via the first real trailer for Sun andMoon, which introduces the new starters. They include: a fire-y cat thing named Litten, a goofy seal-like creature named Popplio, and a very round owl called Rowlet which wears some strategically placed leaves. As is typical with the series, the starters represent fire, water, and grass-type pokemon, adding some strategy to deciding who will accompany you throughout the game.

The trailer also gives us our first real look at the actual gameplay, which, unsurprisingly, doesn't look too far removed from past games in the series.Pokemon Sun and Moon will feature 3D graphics once again — the feature was introduced with X and Y back in 2013 — and the art style looks largely unchanged.

Pokemon Sun and Moon will be coming to the Nintendo 3DS on NOVEMBER 18TH, 2016

***NEWEST TRAILER***
The Pokemon Company also revealed six new Pokemon, including Gumshoos and Mudbray - each part of the evolution chain for already-revealed new monsters Yungoos and Mudsdale - as well as Oricorio, a dancing bird that changes style depending on the Alolan island it's on.

The game's islands are a major focus, with the trailer also revealing the Island Challenge. Described as "your rite of passage", it appears to be the new games' main quest, seeing your trainer sent to complete trials according to each island's theme, facing off against special Totem-form Pokemon and fighting Kahunas, each island's boss trainer.

Also announced are two new features, Poké Ride and Z-Moves.

According to the Sun and Moon website, Poké Ride is enabled by special Pokemon that can help you cross impassable terrain. It's not an HM in the same way as Fly or Surf, but rather specific to the special Pokemon that help you in each situation (these Pokemon can't be caught and added to your team).

Z-Moves are theatrical new special moves that can be used once per battle, but there are specific prerequisites to use them. The player will earn a Z-Ring, into which they can place Z-Crystals. If a Pokemon is holding the same Z-Crystal as the player has equipped, they can then use a Z-move. There's one Z-Move per elemental type.

The new games will arrive for 3DS on November 18 in the US and November 23 in the UK.

I really hope rowlet gets some amazing stats, or popplio will be incapable of learning any ice attacks, cause that typing is awful

My biggest worry with this game is that they'll have litten's evolutions bi-pedal. When they did that for fenniken, absolutely killed my hype for her
