Pokémon Sun and Moon Starters Revealed. Releases November 18th 2016.

#TeamPopplio!

I like it! Having better proportions for character models is a huge plus. Brings it closer to a full scale RPG. Idk which version I want. Leaning towards Sun for that badass legendary, but I want to know their typing first.
 
Battles seem upgraded

- No more platform under the Pokemon, they sit on the ground properly.
- Trainers now show up in battle

Seems to work like Colosseum and XD did.
 
The English site has more info and art.

Owl is boss as fuck

So much so they even put it in the artwork with the weakass water starter
 
Releasing November 23 in Europe according to the official site.

Fuck they keep hating on Europe :(

All because of a couple of stupid stores. So unfair.

Anyway, game looks amazing. After the disappointment of X/Y, this looks like a game I can love.
 
I'm impressed. The overworld actually looks Colosseum/XD tier now. That's a bigger graphical upgrade than I expected.

Bet it runs like shit though.
 
Looks cool.

I don't think I will have any time to play this in November but maybe next year I'll pick this up.

God I hope there isn't a really cool special edition 3DS... I really don't need another one but they're all so tempting.
 
It is pretty fucking weird how the game is out in JP/US (edit: Okay, even earlier for US it seems, the 16th) on a freaking Friday (the 18th of November) while the UK/EU are getting it on the 23rd which is a freaking Wednesday.

Just wtf...
 
November 16th in NA
November 23rd in EU
November 18th in AUZ


Goddamnit why why that random week delay in EU.
They did it with ORAS too. Main theory is that a ton of European stores broke the street date on XY so they're now releasing their games later here to avoid that happening again - and tge leaks that followed
 
#TeamPopplio for sure.

Not sure why people think these are ugly, they're already a step up over X/Y's starters IMO. Except maybe Litten, but I think it'll probably grow on me if its evolutions are cool.
 
Due to my history of going with the cute bird starter if one is available (Gen 3, 4) looks like I'm going Grass Type this gen. I haven't started Grass since Gen 1.
 
Rowlet represent! Grass finally has the best starter for once. Although I like them all.
 
I'm picking up Rowlet.
 
The new Pokemon we've seen so far have been some pretty weird designs IMO. I like how quirky the starters are, though. Can't wait for final evos.
