wow guess who's back at it again with the new p o k e m o n t h r e a d
sun & moon is the seventh generation in the series and is in the alola region (basically hawaii)
unlike previous six generations the new games change the core mechanics of gyms as the player has to beat the island challenge trial (defeating a 'totem' pokemon which summons the same species of pokemon as it to battle the trainer) and the grand trial ('leader' of the island, so essentially a gym)
much like mega evolution introduced in generation 6, there is a new feature in battle called z-moves. the player wears a z-ring and a pokemon holds a z-crystal. moves of a certain type are transformed into the z-move (e.g. if the pokemon is holding a grass z-crystal and knows a grass move, that move will transform into the grass z-move, bloom doom). they deal a lot of damage and have rly fancy animation but can only be used once per match. some pokemon (snorlax, eevee, pikachu, raichu) have special exclusive z-moves (pulverizing pancake, extreme evoboost, catastropika, and stoked sparksurfer respectively) with exclusive z-crystals. snorlax's z-crystal can only be obtained with a munchlax given to you if you purchase game before january 2017.
another big feature is alola forms of pokemon in which pokemon from previous generations are given a new look and type to suit the new region. they're pretty damn sweet. only 10 have been announced: sandshrew & sandslash as ice/steel ; vulpix as ice & rapidash as ice/fairy ; exeggutor as grass/D R A G O N ; marowak as fire/ghost ; raichu as electric/psychic ; meowth as dark (persian hasn't been announced but is likely also going to be dark iguess) ; rattata & raticate as dark/normal.
differences between sun and moon announced so far are that rockruff (new rock doggo pokemon) evolves into two different forms, two HARAMBE
pokemon (1 for sun, 1 for moon), and that the game are set 12 hours apart
new starters are pretty nice too (POPPLIO IS SUPERIOR) and the enemy team for series has announced to be team skull.
pokemon in the PC aren't useless anymore & there's a festival thing THAT I DON'T REALLY GET so
release date for japan, america, australia is 18th november whereas us europeans get it 5 days later on november 23rd
there's a demo coming out on 18th october which features ash's greninja from the anime which you can transfer to the main game a month later so make sure you get it!!
for friend code stuff (if they add friend safari back, etc) i'll put here (just post them in thread!)
