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