The latest trailer for Sun and Moon was on Tuesday and it had a lot of information in it. I have contemplated on it and will now give you my thoughts on this wonderful trailer. Let's go!
Dartrix
Rowlet's middle evolution is gothic and a bit self-centered. I adore this Pokémon. I especially love its leaf bangs. It's too adorable! It is still Grass/Flying and has the ability Overgrow. It seems to shoot feather darts from it's wings (hence the name) which looks really cool. The ability seems standard and sort of bland. I wonder if the final evolution will get a better ability. Still, I like this design.
Torracat
Litten's evolution is a slightly bigger cat. It sports a flame sac shaped like a bell under it's chin. This is an interesting touch. I'm used to the fire starters breathing fire (ember to flamethrower) and wonder if there will be any new fire moves made for this particular 'fire bell'. This Pokémon is Fire type and has the ability Blaze which is another typical Fire starter ability. Again, I like this design.
Brionne
The Water clown turns into a Water dancer as Popplio evolves into Brionne. This design is definitely on the more feminine side like Braixen. It is Water Type and has the standard Water Starter ability Torrent. It is also lighter in color than it's pre-evolution and still just as happy. I am not sure what I think of this evolution. The 'ears' are strange looking and I still don't know if I like Popplio. Still, it's an okay design.
In general, I like the evolutions. Just like before, I am still leaning towards Litten or Rowlet for my starter. I just don't know which I like better. It all depends upon the starters' final evolutions. Speaking of which, the designs all seem to point to those notorious Chinese leaks. Dartrix's dart throwing and leaf bangs definitely point towards a feather archer. Torracat's front legs are beefier than it's back legs and it's Pokédex entry mention's their strength. That and the flaring flame sac all seem to point to the wrestler evolution. Finally, Brionne's more feminine appearance definitely looks like it's heading towards the siren/mermaid evolution. I hope this isn't the case. I am not a fan of the Fire wrestler and the other two are okay. I was just really hoping for better designs. Still, only time will tell.
Festival Plaza
When I first saw this, I was reminded of Join Avenue in Black/White 2. It seems that Game Freak has improved upon the idea where you can interact with other players and get items for coins that you earn here. It looks like fun and I especially love the bouncy house shaped like Drifblim.
Poké Pelago
Have you ever wished that you could use the Pokémon that are in the PC? Well, now you can! This new area is a bunch of islands that the Pokémon in your PC can visit. There is an island for collecting beans and attracting new Pokémon. There is an island for leveling up and even an island for finding treasure (like evolution stones). I love this idea and can't wait to try it out for myself. It reminds me of Pokémon Daycare and I wonder...is there a cost to use this area? I mean, like in Daycare, the longer you leave the Pokémon, the more you spend to get them back. Is it like that? Also, if you leave the Pokémon on the leveling up island, will you get notified if they learn new moves? Or will it be like Daycare where they learn new moves without your knowledge/consent? Still, it's a great idea!
Mega Evolution Confirmed
One of the biggest questions has been answered! Yes, you can still mega evolve your Pokémon! I had a feeling this would be the case but it is nice to have it confirmed. The only issue is that there doesn't appear to be any new mega evolutions which is very disappointing. I guess Butterfree will never get that Mega Evolution....maybe an Alolan form though? Please?
Special Demo
On Oct. 18 there will be a special demo of the game(s) released. The big thing about this is the special Pokémon you will be given to experience it with. That's right - it's Ash-Greninja! Thanks to a new ability called Battle Bond, Greninja will now turn into Ash-Greninja when an opponent is defeated. While this is cool....I don't know if I like this Pokémon or not. I guess I have to think on this some more. I mean, the design is cool but still....I don't know. Also, due to the incredibly specific name of this Pokémon (and appearance), does this mean Ash will be in the games too? That would be interesting.
Well, there you have it. The new trailer had many ups and downs but will still thrilling. I cannot wait for this game and may play the demo version on the 18th. I still don't know which starter I want but I'm sure that's how everyone feels at this point. Still, I like where everything is going. Well, that wraps it up for this week. Leave me a comment with your opinions of the trailer and don't forget to follow me so you don't miss out on any future posts. Until next time, keep on gaming and blog happy!
