Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon Official Announcement
« on: February 25, 2016, 11:57:42 am »
[UPDATE]

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon have now been officially announced for release on the 3DS worldwide this 2016 Holiday season.





[Pre-Announcement Post]
Recent European trademarks have revealed two potential new games in the Pokémon franchise, which can be found here and here. With tomorrow's Pokémon themed Nintendo Direct, these are a real possibility.

Because these are only trademarks, we really don't know much else, other than that Nintendo was the company that filed them. Release dates, platform, etc. are all unconfirmed as of yet.

Excited by the possibility? :)

When the time comes, you can find more on Nintendo Direct 2.26.2016 here: http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/02-26-2016/

I, myself, am excited for these new entries. Although, I am surprised that they didn't make a 3rd game for the X/Y generation. It sounds like wasted potential.

Looks like they're completely skipping a special edition this gen.... That's disappointing ._.

Kind of a disappointing Direct. It didn't really say much other than that Moon and Sun will be out for the holidays. I was hoping they would at least show starters... or show anything for that matter. :-\  I think the coolest bit of info is that Pokemon Bank will be able to grab monsters out of the virtual console versions of Pokemon R/B/Y.

There a few remnants that we can pick up from the trailer, it's mainly just Artwork.  There's a pickup truck with a Machoke riding on the back, as well as 2 other Pokemon  that I can't identify.  Meanwhile a Blastoise is riding on the back of  what looks like a make-shift firetruck.  An Ambulance?  Seems to be a focus on featuring vehicles this time around.  A selection of designs for the interior of the Pokemon Center. 

A building that looks like it could be a Water Gym, it features a fountain and some palm trees.  Perhaps the new region is a more tropical region which on board with.  You can see artwork of Wingull in the bottom right corner of one of the shots which might point  towards that theory of being close to the sea, a real summery vibe. 

Edit: That might be our Male Trainer  outside the gym, clad in a Red and Black hat and jacket with Blue Trousers, looks pretty standard right now, I sure hope the trainer customization makes a comeback. 

Then there's that last part animating they Wireframe of that one Pokemon, no much to say other than we have our new Pidgey/Pidove/Taillow.

I'm sure there'll be another direct dedicated to this sometime during the summer where we will be introduced to the starters and perhaps given a release date.

I just couldn't believe some people were surprised by this. Despite the denials, I always knew there'd be a new Pokemon title this year; made too much sense for it to not happen.

Official cover art has been revealed! They also released a video with in-game footage.
I know it's just a trailer but to me it looks like they are finally getting rid of the isometric camera perspective.  :'(

Hm, I haven't been interested in a Pokemon game in a long time, but that one actually looks pretty cool. Might have to pick that one up.
