The latest teaser for "Pokémon Sun and Moon" is out, and it not only displays many new Pokémon, but also confirms earlier leaks about the three starter Pokémon. Interest in the upcoming games has increased, thanks to Pokémon GO. Furthermore, "Omega Ruby" and "Alpha Sapphire" remakes are back into the United Kingdom sales charts since they are the most recent games released for Nintendo 3DS.
The Pokémon Company released a trailer on Monday, Aug.1 in an attempt to raise the hype, besides introducing several new features and Pokémon, according to Metro UK. The latest update includes Alola forms for several original Pokémon - new types for Exeggutor and Vulpix to suit into the Hawaiian setting.
In addition, there is a new concept of Z-moves that can only be applied once per combat. While all Pokémon can use the moves, there is need for a Z-Ring for trainers and two Z-Crystals. In case the ring and Pokémon have the same crystal, gamers can use the super powerful move.
The latest trailer teases an actual toy Z-Ring that players can purchase. The Z-Ring lights up and vibrates when used in the game.
The teaser has explanations for Oricorio, Minior, and Gumshoos. Oricorio changes form and dancing style when it drinks the nectar from specific flowers.
The rock/flying-type Minior possesses an outer shell to protect its relatively cuter inner form. Gumshoos, which evolves from the mongoose-like Yungoos, has a haircut uncannily similar to Donald Trump.
The trailer looks fantastic, but the best part is that it inadvertently verified leaked images of the three starter Pokémon, according to the same publication. The sketches first surfaced online a few months ago, but they could not be verified as real. However, the character highlighted by the red circle in the trailer proves that these are the final forms of Littlen, Rolet, and Poppilo.
Just like Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur, gamers will pick one of the three starter Pokémon when they start the game, before finally evolving it into finals forms. "Pokémon Sun and Moon" will launch on Nov. 18 on Nintendo 3DS.
Here is footage for the latest update:
