The latest Pokémon Sun and Moon news that dropped Oct. 4 finally revealed the middle evolutions of the Alola Region Starter Pokémon , Litten, Popplio and Rowlet and a lot more information.
There’s a lot to go through including the return of Mega Evolutions, the confirmation of a Sun and Moon demo that includes a special Pokémon.
Check out the latest Pokémon Sun and Moon trailer and we’ll break down what was shown.
First, the middle stage of the Alola Starters were shown off with Rowlet evolving into Dartrix as it keeps its Grass and Flying typing.
Litten evolves into Torracat and remains a Fire-type.
Popplio evolves into Brionne, the Water-type.
There are two new game modes as well in Pokémon Sun and Moon. The first is Festival Plaza, which acts a lot like the StreetPass Plaza on your Nintendo 3DS. In this mode you can meet other players and earn special coins by completing requests from those you walk by.
You can then use the special coins to purchase upgrades to your own Plaza or special items.
The other game mode is Poké Pelago, which is a place where you can store your PC Pokémon In this mode, you can befriend Wild Pokémon or have your unused Pokémon find treasure for you, like evolution stones. You can also train them on a special island of the Pelago using special food that raises certain stats.
However, the return of Mega Evolutions is big news for Sun and Moon as many thought the Alola Forms and Z-Moves will replace them. The new trailer shows off the Mega Evolution and some of the more common Megas in the game. No new Megas were shown, unfortunately.
And then we have the confirmation that Sun and Moon will have a special demo starting Oct. 18. Just like the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire demo, you can transfer your data over to Sun and Moon and the special Pokémon that you receive. In the case of the Sun and Moon demo, Ash Greninja is an actual thing having the ability Battle Bond.
Pokémon Sun and Moon will release in North America Nov. 18 and in Europe Nov. 23.
