You can also transfer Pokemon from Red/Blue/Green into the game if you have the eShop versions.

I believe this was the sum-total announced in the stream.

They also presented all the mainline games and then presented Sun/Moon, so it looks to be Gen 7, similar to Black/White releasing at the end of the DS era.

"As we celebrate 20 years since the launch of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green in Japan, the next era of Pokémon games is being announced! Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are coming out for systems in the Nintendo 3DS family in holiday 2016, with a new world, new Pokémon, and new adventures to discover! Watch the first teaser for Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon at the top of the page." - Pokemon Website

From the direct. Updating as it comes. Shocked this wasn't up the second it showed up.

Now playable in 9 languages including Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Pokemon RGBY are forward compatible with Sun and Moon via Bank.

IceDoesntHelp · Feb 26, 2016

Someone get that Pokemon art tease. Looked like a bird Pokemon to me, but it was like a second glimpse.

EDIT:

Neoxon · Feb 26, 2016

And wasted on the 3DS. Game Freak couldn't have waited until the NX Platform to do Gen 7, could they.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the games will be great. I just wish they just wrapped up Gen 6 on the 3DS & wait for the NX Platform for Gen 7.

Chû Totoro · Feb 26, 2016

With Chinese they will sell trillions of games lol

Hash Slinging Slasher · Feb 26, 2016

day one

bomblord1 · Feb 26, 2016

Not even a single screenshot :/

Escalario · Feb 26, 2016

They didn't even show the footage of it lol.

Vyse The Legend · Feb 26, 2016

"Revealed"

They showed absolutely nothing.

Diprosalic · Feb 26, 2016

same engine too as it had the "3D available in some places" under the logo.

DrROBschiz · Feb 26, 2016

Why so little info?

Cuz NX cross platform game

wiibomb · Feb 26, 2016

I'm so disappointed in the announcement.

well at least we got 3 bits of info:

possible new gen?
Holiday 2016
Pokemon B/G/R/Y transfers

and... that's it...

Regiruler · Feb 26, 2016

More info in OP than there was in the Direct.

Cheesy Steve · Feb 26, 2016

I'm surprised that they seem to be skipping the "third" version are jumping straight to gen 7.

Firemind · Feb 26, 2016

pics or gtfo

because everybody knew
and fucking 3DS
at least it sounds like a new gen but ROFL

Griss · Feb 26, 2016

How can you be so clueless as to how to properly announce a game?

PurpleSquid · Feb 26, 2016

what a waste of everyone's time. they honestly made a direct just to show the logo. Hell, I'm still confused on what sun and moon actually are. is it an anniversary game or is it a new gen? TPC continues to disappoint.

MistaBowaa · Feb 26, 2016

Even this was speculated due to the Hong Kong stream

There was nothing new compared to the leak we got yesterday though.

You should know how Game Freak does this.

You don't know how this works, do you?

Kouriozan · Feb 26, 2016

I was expecting this, haha.

MulderYuffie · Feb 26, 2016

I like how it didn't even specify if it was Gen 7 or not.

What a great 20 year anniversary video!

cmChimera · Feb 26, 2016

Did they specify 3ds?

netgrimoire · Feb 26, 2016

Did anyone screen shot any of the models/modeling/art that they showed (super quickly)?

yoonshik · Feb 26, 2016

javac · Feb 26, 2016

"We're" only disappointed because the name and logo leaked, keep that in mind people. Most people were expecting nothing prior when we found out that it would only be 5 mins long. Very excited, Pokemon is always a drip feed of info, nothing new.

cmChimera said:

Yup.

JRBechard · Feb 26, 2016

Even if it is on NX, I couldn't see them waste the 3DS install base either. Could be both.

wrowa · Feb 26, 2016

Well, that was pointless.

JohnDrake · Feb 26, 2016

Lol, we don't even know fi the games are a new adventure with new Pokemon or something else.

woen · Feb 26, 2016

This is really bad, you don't just show 0,5sec artwork-making of footage and the logo/release date, you have at least to say if it's a new region, new gun, show the legendaries, the starters, the heroes, some cutscene... They really know how to kill the hype especially after a leak that leaked...everything they showed ?

Mr. Smiley · Feb 26, 2016

Nothing more to do than to dissect the ever living fuck out of the art assets.

Crocodile · Feb 26, 2016

Thanks to the leak that direct was kind of pointless

antennaehead · Feb 26, 2016

"Some areas also playable in 3D"
Oh FFS Nintendo!

Puruzi · Feb 26, 2016

should've had footage, no point in that being a direct

dissapointed

jediyoshi · Feb 26, 2016

enhance

RedX · Feb 26, 2016

Could have shown more, but I'm still HYPE nonetheless

Forkball · Feb 26, 2016

We need frame by frame screen grabs.

No footage, mother of god.

RBY to SM sounds awesome, but uh, how are they gonna get around Level 255 Golbats?

The title cards alone would have been amazing... if they hadn't been leaked 24 hours previously.

Snaku · Feb 26, 2016

Ugh, nothing about Go. Gen 7 stranded on old hardware when the portable NX is launching at the same damn time. The fuck, Nintendo? This is why your hardware launches are fucking duds. Sun/Moon should have been the premiere NX launch titles. What the fuck are you doing?

Blackleg-sanji1 · Feb 26, 2016

So we gen 7 right that wasn't clear to me?

True Fire · Feb 26, 2016

What a terrible reveal compared to Gen VI. The leak didn't help, but neither did the Nintendo Direct with zero substance.

backflip10019 · Feb 26, 2016

They acted like Pokemon Bank for R/B/Y and adding Chinese is a huge deal. What a waste of everyone's time.

Emulator exclusive.

goomba stomper · Feb 26, 2016

A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch...

...But to be fair I liked that a lot, much better than the Super Bowl ad.

MegaManTrigger · Feb 26, 2016

It was so obvious that this would be a 3DS title, people who thought this would be in NX were being unrealistic.

Caronte · Feb 26, 2016

This is what I think too.

SkullHydra · Feb 26, 2016

The XY announcement was magnitudes better than this.

Azure J · Feb 26, 2016

I'm actually pretty excited for this. Also, fuck yeah finally working out a way to use RBY Pokemon in later titles.
