The new details for Sun and Moon have been revealed on the official website.


The video and the website revealed the names of the new Legendary Pokemon: Solgaleo and Lunala.

SOLGALEO

Category Sunne Pokémon
Height 11'2"
Weight 507.1 lbs.
Type Psychic/Steel
Ability Full Metal Body

Since ancient times, Solgaleo has been honored as an emissary of the sun. It is referred to with reverence as “the beast that devours the sun.” Solgaleo's body holds a vast amount of energy, and it shines with light when it's active. It has a flowing mane with a remarkable resemblance to the sun. Its signature move is Sunsteel Strike, an attack that charges at an opponent with the force of a meteor, disregarding the target’s Ability.

Solgaleo’s Ability is Full Metal Body, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. With the Full Metal Body Ability, a Pokémon’s stats will not be lowered by the effects of an opponent’s moves or Ability.

LUNALA

Category Moone Pokémon
Height 13'01"
Weight 264.6 lbs.
Type Psychic/Ghost
Ability Shadow Shield


Since ancient times, Lunala has been honored as an emissary of the moon. It is referred to with reverence as “the beast that calls the moon.” Lunala is constantly absorbing light and converting it into energy. With its wings spread to absorb the surrounding light and glittering like a crescent moon, it resembles a beautiful night sky. Lunala’s signature Moongeist Beam attack releases an ominous beam of light that disregards the target’s Ability.

Lunala’s Ability is Shadow Shield, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. With the Shadow Shield Ability, a Pokémon will take less damage from an attack that lands when the Pokémon has full HP.

ALOLA REGION

Your new adventures in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will take place on the tropical islands of the Alola region! The Alola region centers around four islands rich in natural beauty and an artificial island. Many Pokémon that have never been seen before occupy these islands.

MAIN CHARACTERS

PROFESSOR KIKUI

Professor Kukui is the Alola region's dependable Pokémon professor. He lives near your home and looks out for you. He's passionate about his research into Pokémon moves and has sometimes taken direct hits from Pokémon when there was something to be learned from it. Sporting a white lab coat slung casually over his bare torso, he shows off his own unique style.

LILLIE

Lillie is a mysterious girl who assists the professor. This young girl is about the same age as your character, and she's working as Professor Kukui’s assistant for personal reasons. She's not fond of making Pokémon fight in battles, but she loves reading and has devoured many books. Lillie will play an important role in the story of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

FRIEND/RIVAL HAU

Hau is a Pokémon-loving young boy with a big appetite! He's the same age as your character. When you move to the Alola region, he makes friends with you right away. He has a real weakness for malasada, a famous treat in the Alola region, and he is always in search of malasada shops. He is a big-hearted boy who really loves Pokémon.

NEW FEATURES

QR Code: there is a QR Scanner function that allows you to see information about Pokémon when you scan QR Code patterns. With the QR Scanner, you scan in a QR Code and check the information about the Pokémon that corresponds to that QR Code.By scanning in special QR Code patterns you can register Pokémon of the Alola region to your Pokédex and find out where they live. If you scan in the QR Code for a Pokémon that you haven’t yet caught, you can check its habitat and search it out.
You can display the QR Code patterns for Pokémon you have caught in your own Pokédex. If you and a friend show each other the QR Code patterns for Pokémon you have caught, you can both register the Pokémon in your Pokédexes!

Well, let's see...

The legendaries: I'm not a big fan of psychic types (really, for example, I used to change the time of my console, to make my Eevee evolve into an Umbreon instead an Espeon :yesyes:), but I enjoyed their designs.

The Alola region: Looks beautiful, but I think we'll spend some time in order to find a way to travel between the islands (until we teach our Pokémon to fly, or surf).

The new protagonists: I liked them, both look cute (despite the fact I think the girl's cap[?] kinda bizarre roftl).

The new professor, assistant and rival: I liked them, mainly the professor and the rival, which really looks like Hawaiian people (I think). But, the assistant, don't know, blonde, skin really white... She doesn't look like hawaiian, but, she is cute, and "she's not fond of making Pokémon fight in battles", is she N's sister? roftl

The QR code function looks really useful, and the Rotom Pokédex sounds kinda funny.

I wanted Solgaleo to be a Psychic/Fire type :yesyes2: :sisi2: but I'm ok with Lunala :yesyes:

Maybe we will travel with a boat:argh2:

For the QR code... I want a new QR code injection like with Shuffle roftl
And... will Rotom register itself in the Pokédex?? :doubt::doubt:
