So! For those of your who haven't heard, a new set of pokemon games are coming out this year. I don't know about you but I'm suuuper excited! The starter pokemon are super cute this time around, it's going to be a tough choice for me between Litten and Rowlet.
The Starting Lineup
I can't wait to see what they'll evolve into! I'm kind of hoping that will leak before the game comes out so I can have a bit of an easier time making my choice. ^^;
The Legendaries
We don't know anything about the legendaries yet other than their appearance. When I first saw the game logos I was sure I wanted Moon version but now seeing the legendaries themselves I'm a little bit creeped out by that bat thing so I'm swinging more towards Sun now myself. Still, until we know their type it's hard to chose for sure. And there's that release date! Right after my birthday! The perfect present for me, thanks Nintendo! XD
Other Info
It looks like the region is inspired by Hawaii maybe? Anyway, it has a fun island feel to it. I was really hoping you would be able to customize your trainer like in X and Y with different hair/clothing/body options but it looks like they didn't bring that to these new games. You will however get to chose the skin color of your trainer. Also, for those of you who use the pokemon Bank, a new update will be released so that you can transfer pokemon from the recent Red, Blue, and Yellow games to the bank and from there you can transfer any of your pokemon in the bank forward to the Sun and Moon versions if you wish. Exciting!
So the lion legendary is Solgaleo and it's Psychic Steel type!
The bat thing is Lunala and it's Psychic Ghost!
And finally, the region will be called the Alola region!
Man, I'm having a tough time choosing the legendaries. I like the look of solgaelo better I think but I don't think there's ever been a ghost legendary before so that one is pretty intriguing!
XD I wish I had played Alpha Sapphire just for the reason that I liked Team Aqua more than I liked Team Magma XD
As for sun and moon though, that's a good question peachy!
It's gonna be super hard for me to pick between Rowlet and Popplio for starters. I almost always go for water types at the beginning but Rowlet is so cute too! It might be nice to branch out! XD Also I'm super excited about Lunala! I really like ghost type pokemon and especially when they have Psychic moves!
Annnddd... I am super excited about the tropical theme of the region XD I love tropical stuff!
Also Zig, Litten looks like Yuna with a bit of fire in her XD
My cat gets them a lot lately. My parents decided that she will be an outdoor cat now and so she glares at us through the window just like in your signature.
I'm excited for the new games. I think I'm going to go with the grass starter this time instead of the fire type. I'm going to pre order a copy of one of the games next payday.
I'm kind of curious to see what the evolved forms of the starter pokemon will be.
I think I'm going to download the game digitally directly to my 3DS. It's pretty awesome not having to carry cartridges around! I'm super curious to see the evolutions as well. I wonder if they will leak before the games are released...
The battle system is looking less flashy with the application of better graphics. I'm liking that. They've come a long way so far.
Good to see they haven't run out of new pokemon ideas yet though
I'm kind of surprised that they're still coming up with more ideas for pokemon yet honestly. I mean there's over 700 currently plus more coming with sun and moon.
