UPDATE (5/16/2016): CoroCoro magazine released a third trailer, which people are reviewing extensively because of one scene in particular:

Nobody knows for sure who that mysterious Pokémon is, but there’s speculation from a brand new Pokémon to just an existing Pokémon like Eevee with decorations on the ears. Personally, I think it’s a new Pokémon from the starting routes, much like Zigzagoon or Rattata.

Now joining the legendary starters:

Rowlet

Grass Quill Pokémon

Type: Grass / Flying



Litten

Fire Cat Pokémon

Type: Fire

Popplio

Sea Lion Pokémon

Type: Water

My thoughts? I love kitties, so Litten will probably be my choice. But owls are awesome so why not Rowlet? The water starter once again seems underwhelming, but everybody said the thing about Froakie when he was first premiered and everybody loves Greninja. So we’ll have to wait until their final forms are released to see.

Also shown is the new region of Alola, which seems to be like Hawaii (aloha?). The Japanese trailer definitely seems to lean towards Hawaii as well. We can also see the new professor, probably Professor Palm?

The graphics look as good as Pokémon X, Y, and ORAS. Maybe a little better with new camera angles shown. Also, character customization is back! It was missing during ORAS, but Sun and Moon will probably showcase the return of the customization of clothing and accessories on your character again.

Lastly, we can see the new legendary Pokémon. They appear on the box art as well, but here we can see them in full glory.

Fire

Fairy

Fire

Fairy

Rumor has it, they have the names Solgaleo for Sun’s legendary lion, and Lunaala for Moon’s legendary bat. This is based on trademarks filed by Nintendo, and it kind of makes sense looking at them. By appearance, it seems like Solgaleo is aand Lunaala is a, but Lunaala’s eyes make me think maybewould be a new fun combination! Which means maybe Solgaleo would be a? That’d be awesome too!

Guess we’ll have to wait until it hits the shelves on November 18th in the US, November 23rd in the UK. At least we can preorder Sun and Moon now.
