The Pokémon Company released a trailer today for 'Pokemon Sun' and 'Moon' that has all things interesting - from a glimpse of the Alola region starters' final evolutions to meeting familiar characters from previous pokémon games.
As per GameSpot, Rowlet evolves to Decidueye, Litten transforms into Incineroar, while Popplio becomes Primarina. As promised by the gaming company in previous statements, the final evolutionary forms are unique to the earlier installments.
Rowlet, originally a grass/ flying type, transforms into the grass/ ghost-type Decidueye. Sporting an owl-like façade, it has a signature move known as Spirit Shackle, a ghost-type move that damages the opponent and prevents them from switching out.
Litten, a pure fire type, eventually evolves into Incineroar, a fire/ dark type pokémon. This wrestler pokémon knows the new dark-type move Darkest Lariat, a signature move that ignores any stat change of the enemy.
Lastly, the water starter Popplio becomes the mermaid-like Primarina, changing its type to water/ fairy. Sparkling Aria, its unique water-type signature move, can heal the burns of its targets.
The video also showed the remaining Alola guardian deities, namely Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini. Along with Tapu Koko who has been introduced months before, they share a unique Z-move dubbed as "Guardian of Alola," dealing 75 percent damage to the opponent's health.
A few pokémon were also introduced in the clip. Cosmog is a psychic type that has the ability "Unaware," while Persian's dark-type Alola form has been officially presented.
Perhaps the thing that made pokémon fans scream with excitement is the return of some well-known characters in the series. Cynthia, Sinnoh region's champion, and Wally, the player's Hoenn rival, makes a comeback and can be recruited in a team battle in the Battle Tree. Moreover, the famous Red and Blue, original characters of the pokémon game, will challenge the player to a fight eventually.
The success of the Pokémon franchise dates back in 1996 when 'Pokémon Red' and 'Green' were launched in Japan, followed by the US Red and Blue versions in 1998, as per Polygon. The cultural phenomenon spread like wildfire, resulting into further installments and spinoffs. Its latest success is seen in the viral 'Pokémon Go,' and will likely carry on to the highly-anticipated release of 'Pokémon Sun' and 'Moon' on Nov. 18.
