• Sun & Moon Starters, Box art, Release Date all revealed

    Big information coming this morning for the upcoming Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon games.

    === Starter Pokemon ===



    Name: Rowlet
    Category: Grass Quill Pokémon
    Height: 1 '00 "
    Weight: 3.3 lbs.
    Type: Grass/Flying
    Starting Move: Leafage

    The first of the potential partners is the highly adaptable Grass Quill Pokémon, Rowlet. This Pokémon can fly silently through the skies, sneaking up on its opponent without being noticed. It can attack its opponents using powerful kicks, and it can also attack from a distance using the razor-sharp leaves that form part of its feathers. Rowlet can survey its environment and turn its neck nearly 180 degrees from front to back, so it can see directly behind itself. When in battle, Rowlet turns its head to face its Trainer when waiting for instructions.



    Name: Litten
    Category: Fire Cat Pokémon
    Height: 1 '04 "
    Weight: 9.5 lbs.
    Type: Fire
    Starting Move: Ember

    The cool-headed Fire Cat Pokémon, Litten, is the next choice for a first-partner Pokémon. Litten’s fur is rich in oils and is immensely flammable. It constantly grooms itself by licking its coat, collecting loose fur into balls. It then ignites these hairballs to create fireball attacks. When the time comes for Litten to molt, it burns off all of its fur in one glorious blaze.



    Name: Popplio
    Category: Sea Lion Pokémon
    Height: 1 '04 "
    Weight: 16.5 lbs.
    Type: Water
    Starting Move: Water Gun

    The third possibility is the acrobatic Sea Lion Pokémon, Popplio. Popplio can create balloons made of water from its nose and utilize them to create a variety of different strategies and attacks in battle. This Pokémon is better at moving in the water than on land, and can swim at speeds over 25 mph. On land, it uses the elasticity of the balloons it creates to perform jumps and acrobatic stunts.

    === The New Region ===



    We have also learnt that the name of the region is Alola region. A little of the region can be seen in the released trailer (below).

    === Box Art ===



    The box art has been revealed for the upcoming games and with it is the reveal of the box Pokemon. A Sun lion and a Moon bat (? or possibly a dream catcher). Discuss below.

    === Release Date ===

    The games will be released November 18th in the US, Australia and Japan and November 23rd in Europe.

    === Trailer ===

      We got the good starter poke, the edgy emo poke and the one I'm not sure about yet but looks like it's going to be a clown so I'm pre-disliking it.
      I giggled at Alola. I'm sorry but that's just as unimaginative as that cat's design. That's about as creative as making a game about cats in Africa and naming it Africat. Changing one letter or adding one won't make the name any less irritatingly punny.
      And oh boy I can not wait to be offline for a week trying to avoid all the spoilers since once more Europe will be getting the game 5 days later.
      About legendaries - less random stuff all over the place, more simplicity and we'd be golden.
      I am looking forward to it, don't get me wrong. I dealt with fairy types, I'll deal with this. But I won't be happy about it and I won't like it. Even though I whine, I know I'm still going to buy it.
      Not mad. Disappointed.
      Again.

      fIGHT ME AND TELL ME what's wrong with Rowlet? That's literally the only good thing about anything involving this whole thing.

      The starters look great! Can't decide between Popplio and Litten, guess I'll have to wait for the evolutions.
      I hope Litten becomes bipedal and Popplio a water/Fairy fun looking clown, as for Rowlett give him a suit to go with that leaf bowtie.

      Initially, I wasn't sure what to think. As I look at them more, I like them more and more. Especially Rowlet. I really didn't like Rowlet before, but the more I look at it, the more I like it and may pick it.

      I'm interested to see what Litten evolves into. I can see it evolving into an Egyptian Anubis. The markings on it look like one Anubis is, all black, fire (since it is the Egyptian lord of the underworld). The only thing that makes me second guess it is the fact that Anubis is a dog and not a cat.

      Popplio...meh. We will see on this one. Initially not all that impressed, but that also what I said with Froakie at first...until I saw Greninja.

      I'm all for the Grass/Flying type Rowlett. I LOVE Owls and I can't wait to see how it does. Now, personally, and only for pure aesthetic reasons I DON'T actually care for Litten, But as with all starters, We'll see. Now...I've been seeing ALOT of Popplio dislike. And it's kinda sad. Now, I am not gonna lie, but I REALLY Don't like Clowns. BUT The sea-lion part of him I really like. So for now the two I like most are Rowlett and Popplio. I'm hoping he's actually a Power house on the competitive scene. So maybe like Chespin (which I still don't personally like, Popplio will win over many people. I plan on playing with All 3 Starters to get a feel for each and I can't wait to see what they evolve into later on. xD
