Explore the Alola Region in Pokemon Sun and Moon Trailer

That page also has a screenshot of the world map:

Very atypical looking for Pokemon

Wow lots of branching paths and it looks more vertical less grid shaped. I'm impressed.
 

Awesome designs as we've seen already but the typings are odd.

Solgaleo is Psychic/Steel; other pokemon with that typing: Beldum, Metang, Metagross, Jirachi, Bronzor, Bronzong.
Lunala is Psychic/Ghost; other pokemon with that typing: Hoopa. (Not unbound)

Their typings are cool just... not super interesting. I kind of like Lunala's typing but Solgaleo not being fire is a surprise to me.

We can see that there are 4 major islands (2 gyms each?) and then a man made looking resort/structure in the middle of the map. There's also two smaller islands visible in the bottom left and top right.
 
Hah, I knew the bat would be Psychic! Just doesn't make sense based on how the moon is treated in the past, of course it would be Dark type. Ghost is cool too, do we have that typing yet?

Psychic/steel is disappointing but it still looks cool.
 
Seems pretty small considering how small was the first island

Where are the water roads ?

On the positive side : Rotom Pokedex and I hope the rival is the girl (professor's assistants) she is badass, I hope we have finally a good use of the 2nd screen too
 
There's a ROTOM in my WHAT NOW?

I gotta say, as good as the game looks, Pokemon Company sure throws together some oddly composed trailers.

Also Kukui's assistant looks like she might be an actual, serious rival instead of the saccharine friend with a battling spirit thing they've been doing since Gen 4.
 
Legendary Pokemon signature moves are probably dual type or something. The professor specializes in moves, there's gonna be something new
 
Pretty fine with Solgaleo not being fire, since I plan on using Litten. Hope there are some secret post-game islands under those clouds. :>
 
Rotom Pokedex marking goals and objectives means they can make the game way less linear and could even have sidequests im starting to get hyped this 3d change could be much more than just a visual change
 
Oh geez, not looking forward to that Rotom thing at all. My Pokedex is gonna keep calling me "pal" when I'm trying to read about stuff.

"Cubone wears the skull of its dead mom, pal! Aw, poor little guy!!"
 
I really love the main player character designs, plus the customisation options are great.

that snow white girl must explode in the sun.

SPF 50+, all day, everyday! (It's nice that Game Freak are continuing to teach kids the importance of wearing hats, even when you're getting randomly mauled by adorable furry animals in tall grass.)
