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

Rival takes the starter yours is strong against.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Who's to say he's not this games Dawn or Bianca?

I knew I had seen him somewhere...

Those better be it's shiny colors.
 
Just in case people missed it, there's hints of true customisation in it.

The male character is seen wearing different shorts.
 
Oh nice. The game comes out a day after my birthday. Time to preorder it. Lol. Hopefully I can find a store that will sell it early, lol.

Made this real quick.


So the island is based on Oahu. The southern volcano is Diamond Head, the city is Honolulu/Pearl Harbor, and the mountain with the waterfall is Sacred Falls.

Obviously this island is too small to be the entire region. How many islands will it be? Obviously they have to have the main island.
 
Presumably the opposite player character gets the starter you're weak to and is your primary rival like Brendan/May and Calem/Serena.
 
Gamefreak's technical inability is just sad. While I'm glad that the overworld seems to be continuously moving towards being actually fully 3D...the visual quality reminded me of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker. It's probably better than that but certainly not by a large enough margin. That overworld looks just rough.
 
Starters look once again pretty horrible. Need final evolutions to decide.

Any signs of Mega Evolutions? Really hope they are not spending their ressources on those again, but rather real evolutions and just new Pokemon.
 
Why wouldn't they just wait until the NX next year and release Z this year?

These Pokemon look really uninspired.
Because no one cares about Z and just because the next handheld comes out doesn't mean youll get a game for it.
Overall, starters are pretty bad and legendaries look over designed. Overworld looks great though and hopefully the other legendaries and Pokemon this gen look a lot better, no updated Pokemon models should mean they had more time for new Pokemon and hopefully put more effort into them than the starters and Moon legendary.

You always start in the smallest part of the map and work into the mainland inward.

Looking at that map, I wouldn't be surprised if you get surf early and go south towards the bigger islands.

Tons of water pokemon. More likely is a generation mix than exclusive Gen 7 mons
