Spoiler warning, I guess? Admittedly you shouldn't be clicking on this if you didn't want spoilers though.

RELEASE DATES
November 18th - USA and Japan
November 23rd - Europe (I actually hate Nintendo)

Watch the reveal here:

EDIT: Doulie Discusses the Reveal!
MEDIA]

Although we don't know what the legendary Pokemon are called yet, we now have box art and slight in-game footage of both of them!

(Mega Entei and Baby Yveltal I swear)

As well as this, the biggest thing to come out of the reveal was the new starter Pokemon!

We start with the Grass/Flying (an all time first for a starter) -type Pokemon, Rowlett.

Now, probably my personal favourite, the new Fire-type, Litten! (Thank god it looks like it won't evolve into a Fire/Dark).

Finally, the pure water-type, Popplio!

We also got to see the new region that the games will take place in - the Alola region!

EDIT: Although I had thought Serebii was just making up a load of information, there is a second trailer which details Pokedex entries, abilities and more!

Video 2:

Rowlet can attack without making a sound! It flies silently through the skies, drawing near to its opponent without being noticed, and then lashing out with powerful kicks. It can also attack from a distance using the razor-sharp leaves that form part of its feathers.
Its visual abilities are impressive. The darkness of night is no obstacle to Rowlet! It can twist its neck nearly 180° from front to back so it can see directly behind itself. It has a habit of turning its head in battle to face its Trainer and receive instructions. The move Leafage attacks an opponent by striking it with leaves. Rowlet knows this move from the moment it becomes your partner!

Logical but also passionate, Litten always remains coolheaded and doesn't show its emotions on the surface.
Litten can attack with flaming hairballs! Its fur is rich in oils and immensely flammable. Litten grooms itself by licking its fur, and then uses the collected fur as fuel for fireball attacks! When the time comes for Litten to shed its old fur, it all burns up in a glorious blaze. The move Ember attacks an opponent by firing a small flame at it. Litten knows this move from the moment it becomes your partner!

Popplio's swimming speed is known to exceed 25 mph. It's better at moving in the water than on land. Still, when it's on land, it takes advantage of the elasticity of its balloons to perform acrobatic stunts and jumps.
Popplio can snort out balloons made of water! Watch it spin water balloons into a playful battle strategy! Both frivolous and hard-working, Popplio can easily get carried away—unleashing enough power in battle to make quite a spectacle! But Popplio’s determined spirit means it can usually be found practicing hard on its balloon skills. The Water Gun move attacks an opponent by firing a jet of water. Popplio knows this move from the moment it becomes your partner!


From the dex entries, we don't see much, although we do see that Rowlet will get a new grass-type move called 'Leafage.' Based on assumption, I believe that this will be the Vine Whip/Razor Leaf type of move in this generation as the other two entries talk about Ember and Water Gun.



So what do you guys think of all of the information that we got to see? Do you like the new starters, and which one will you be getting? Have you got any hopes for the new generation? Drop a comment down below!

So...here is what I think xD
The Grass Poke is awesome af equal to awesomeness with the Fire one xD
The water isn't as good but Oshawott wasn't good and had a beast evolution xD
And as for the Legends,Mega Entei is a funning beast I want him :D
And the other isn't a baby Yveltal but a Meg Shiny Noivern maybe? xD

Gosh I've been going back between getting sun or moon.

My tradition for getting the fire starter continues!!! I wish litten had a better name though. Rowlett is the main starter of the region for sure.

Hawaii confirmed!!

Thank goodness for trainer customization returning.

Hoping Fire type evolves into a good second typing. I'm hoping for Fire steel. Seems weird but I was thinking maybe he'd grow armor to. (kinda like Samurott) probably won't happen though. Im expecting fire normal.

I love both legends but the lion for my eye first :) might go moon though.

Lastly, the best part of the game, REAL SCALED BUILDINGS AND PEOPLE!! Gosh I've wanted this FOREVER!!! So pumped!!!

Though I was hoping it would come out in October like xy. I guess November isn't that bad. 6 months and counting.

FINALLLLY !!! ( guess matt's going to have towait 5 days :( ) ( I wonder when china's getting it)
Its been a tradition but the type I always go with through my first play through a game is always The Fire Type !
Originally I was going to get moon and I still kinda want but the legendary appearances might change my mind xD

ORAS had tonnes and tonnes of hype and wasn't great
Sun/Moon has moderate hype (in your eyes at least; pretty much opposite in everyone elses) so hopefully lower expectations = better game

FINALLLLY !!! ( guess matt's going to have towait 5 days :(

Well I guess I go against the majority in not seeming overly impressed in the fire starter.... Grass/flying though.... Oh yeah!

Pretty annoyed that I have to wait longer then the U.S. :(

I know, being a fire lover I wasn't that impressed, however it's grown on me A LOT over the past hours. Now It's one of my all time favorites! (Grass owl though is just so adorable!!! love him so much too!!!)
