Video: Check Out This New Trailer for Pokémon Sun and Moon

Haha, looks just like what my cousins and I would do together!

Hyping this game up early, I see.

"Remember everyone, there's a real Pokemon game on the way! One you have to pay for!"

Highlights:

HATS OFF TO HAVING HATS OFF!
You can ride a Lapras, Stoutland, Tauros, and Sharpedo
Um... you can do a weird dance that makes your Pokemon do a special move (?)
Seems your trainer gets their badges Ash Ketchum-style
Mimikkyu looks cool in 3D
The bear thing does not
Eevee is not getting any new evolutions
Pokemon Amie confirmed, now with location-specific backgrounds and Porygon hair dryer
EDIT: And, most surprising of all, Dusk, Premiere, and Great balls confirmed

So the bracelet seems to make your Pokemon moves all powered up and stuff. Huh. Why isn't Nintendolife/Serebii mentioning this in their reports? They literally just showed off a new feature.

I really hope Pokemon Grooming is being added to Pokemon Amie and not just replacing it.

If Pokemon Amie is completely replaced by Pokemon Grooming I'm blaming the Fire Emblem Fates localization for it.

did any1 else notice that lv 123 eevee

@DarkKirby "...I'm blaming the Fire Emblem Fates localization for it."

But... why?

@edgedino That's it's dex number.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy oh lol why did i not notice that. i feal so ashamed now.

I have to say I am a bit surprised that we saw so many Pokémons from previous generations, still the more the better I guess :+).

Will be interesting to see what that dance like move does, even though it seems like it is tied to the special move which could potentially be the move for the fifth move slot.

In any case, really heartwarming video and I really hope we will see more of these kinds of videos ^^.

Pokemon Go is way more fun than I expected, but this is the game I'm waiting for!

Meanwhile everyone has forgotten about federation force which is really for the best!

That's a lot of 3DSs and them flipping open on screen in this commercial.

Gotta make sure people know this isn't a smart phone game.

And they've taken care to show that you don't miss any social outdoorsy summertime fun when you play the regular pokémon games instead of GO.

Good ad. And also kind of adorable.

@Pod nah Nintendo Japan have been using those kind of trailers for Pokémon for a good while now.

Way before Pokémon GO was on the scene .

Game does look great though. Can't wait till its released. I honestly believe that some of these Pokémon Go players would have their minds blown if they where shown a 3DS Pokémon game. Seeing how fully fleshed out it is. Lol

The depth in a single battle would shock them

So, given the fact that Pokemon Go is now the biggest game in US history*, I expect Pokemon Sun & Moon is going to see HUGE sales as a result of many people that have tried the Pokemon Go game being curious to see what a full Pokemon game is like on 3DS. Looks like Nintendo's strategy of using simple mobile Apps based on its franchises to help sales of its own consoles and games is very much working in this particular case—or at least that's what I now expect to see happen.

I just hopes this has the desired effect on Nintendo's side of things, of encouraging it to push its own consoles and hardware even harder and really work to make them the best experiences possible, rather than just making it end up moving much of its resources over to churning out a bunch of unpolished and gimmicky mobile Apps instead for a quick and easy cash grab.

PS. Now that was a great trailer.

These Japanese live action trailer are genius. They should make them for every country, the kids see what pokemon is really about (playing with friends) and we can remember fondly of when we were those kids and we had our gameboys instead of a 3DS. It's a perfect nostalgia operation.
Regarding the new features, I see that Pokemon keeps taking from Yokai Watch, witch is cool I guess, Pokemon needed some competition, GEN VI was a disaster.
I kinda wanna buy a lot of those N3DSXL and go smash them in the face of all the alleged "super pokemon fan" that have popped up this week screaming go play a real game you butt

@hepgius Yeah, I really enjoyed that trailer.

heheh, that was cool. Reminds me of the old Pokemon Blue/Red days.

Not sure why they insist on using XL screens to show off gameplay, the jaggies do not do the game any favors.

@BertoFlyingFox

The XL version is by far the most popular one in Japan, so it makes sense to showcase it on that model in a japanese commercial.

IMPOSSIBRU! You can't play 3DS in full sun

So many new things revealed! This somehow makes me even more excited for the game.

@Kirk not sure if Pokémon Go will help hardware. People who already have 3DS but not played a Pokémon game may now want to see what a full Pokémon game is about but for people who don't own 3DS machines I not sure they will now buy one just to play Pokémon.

Lots of people will be perfectly happy with what Pokémon Go gives them. My friend messaged me last night saying how I must try Pokémon Go. Told him I have and while it's fun it's not for me. I want the full Pokémon experience.

His reply was that Pokémon Go is fun and that's enough.

Don't get me wrong, if Nintendo play this right and really push the next Pokémon game and show consumers how much depth there really is they can gain new players and new 3DS owners. Just don't think it will be a huge jump.

Would be better if it was Pokémon launching with NX handheld to be honest .

I am actually interested to see if past 3DS Pokémon games have seen a jump in sales since Pokémon Go was released

I do wonder how many people, bolstered by the Polemon GO craze, will go to the extent of buying a second hand 3DS to pick up the games. After all, it's pretty old hardware, and every game shop/tech exchange seems to have a healthy stock of used devices, often on sale for not much more than the game itself.

Does raise the questions, will there be Pokemon Contest, bases, and whatnot from the previous games?
Because it does seem like their taking more features out then adding new ones.

So much more excited for this than for GO.

If its permanent and a full time addition then I would die from happiness.
Imagine riding a tauros from the pokemon center to the gym, or inside the towns.
no more bycicles. =D!!!!!
YAY!

@kobashi100 Funnily, out of all of this, I just keep thinking that I really just wanna see a full "mid-gen" version of Pokemon on NX. One that is basically the same as the 3DS games in terms of overall design, including the angled top-down view and other Pokemon staples like that, but just with presentation and graphics that are on par with something like Ni No Kuni II, and possibly a more fully realised MMO-type online world too (along with a few other bits and bobs here and there, but nothing to spoil the winning formula). I still think this kind of game could be something genuinely stunning and a HUGE hit on NX, and I 1000% believe it could make NX consoles fly off the shelves (if it were done right).

1:25 - Pokemon Amie is apparently getting some extra feature.

Commerical implies no online co-op returning from Soul Silver, which was what, like 5 games ago?

Also shows no signs of Pokemon Go integration. They do realize if they don't do that, this game is likely going to sell less than previous installments?

@XCWarrior why would they integrate with Pokémon go. Completely different games.

One is a bit sized mobile game while the other has actual depth. To say no Pokémon go integration means less sales is a big statement to make. Let's see how Pokémon Go is doing once the summer season is finished.

Also remember the 3DS is 5-6 years old now. Isn't it normal to see a drop off this long into a console lifespan.

This game is gonna sell huge amounts. No doubts about it.

@kobashi100 But you have to take what's hot and use it to sell your other products. Remember Nintendo said they are going into mobile to entice people back to their systems.

So offer a Pokemon Sun/Moon preorder bonus or something. Like, in Pokemon Go you'll get special items to catch rare pokemon or whatever the in-game currency is. It helps Go users continue playing and it makes them aware of Sun/Moon.

That's how you increase sales. You meld what sells into everything else.

Heck, I'd do a Pokemon Sun/Moon bundle with a 3DS and that Pokemon Go watch all for $170. And now you are selling consoles, games and Pokemon Go to people all at once.

Seems a bit strange that they all have N3DSLLs...

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy I wouldn't rule out no new eeveelution just yet. Fingers still crossed for a dragon one.

I have been loving the trailers they've shown off for sun and moon. I feel as if this one will be something special. They're getting back on track!

I suspect that Pokémon Go will have a mild positive effect on sales for Sun and Moon. People who had stopped playing Pokémon may decide to come back now that there is so much world wide hype around the franchise. However, it will not be a huge gain.

Pokemon GO helps with the huge wait, would've been nice to have last year when we didn't have a game! I gotta say, the way he opens his 3ds bothers me for some reason, I think it's because his thumb touches the top screen and I wouldn't do that due to smudges haha. Still this is the kinda magic the main series games have that GO can never replicate. Bring on these games. Please bring the double pack to the UK!

Most of the things that I have been asking for are coming back. I'm absolutely loving the 7th gen so far.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy how does this prove that there are no new eevees? Just because there were Eevees and no new eeveelutions in the video doesn't mean we won't get one. They still have time to announce one.

Sucks that the trainers will all look the same this time. Yes we have different clothes and hats/ no hats, but the fave is the same and the hair is the same. I want short hair.

@Zoda_Fett @Radbot42 Okay, maybe a new Eeveelution isn't 100% deconfirmed, but there are 8 slots when the kid catches Eevee; 7 surrounding Eevee. It would be weird for another Eeveelution to not be with the other 7.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy yeah I didn't notice that until now, but hey I can still hope!
