Pokemon is getting a reboot.
Yep, this blog will report on things happening with the upcoming Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. (I apologize for the e in Pokemon, my current computer doesn't have a means of making an accented-e. <_>)
As you can see, this screenshot is from a trailer showing off a Z-Move, a new type of move. A couple of years ago, Pokemon came out with Mega Evolution, creating new temporary evolved forms of famous Pokemon that made them stronger. This new generation will (probably) replace that with the new Z-Move system, where Pokemon have over-powered moves that do a lot of damage! Like Mega Stones, Z-Stones in a Z-Bracer are used to do a coordinated attack!
And we found out recently that it's not just 18 Z-Stones. Now the Pokemon company is distributing a free Munchlax with the moves Happy Hour(which does the same thing as Splash - zippo) and Hold Back, which I don't know much about. When you evolve the Munchlax, you can equip it with a special Z-Stone called Snorlium-Z, which gives its own signature Z-Move, Pulverizing Pancake!
Also, old Pokemon are gaining new forms - the games take place in the Alola region, which is a tropical archipelago similar to Hawaii. As such, many old Pokemon that emigrate there have change their appearance and even type - Sandshrew and Vulpix and their evolved forms are now Ice-type Pokemon and Meowth and Rattata are now Dark-types.
Don't worry, there are some new Pokemon. The starters are a grass owl called Rowlet, a fire kitten called Litten and a clown-nosed seal called Poplio. I've already reserved my copies and I hope you go visit Serebii.net and check out their news. So long for now!
(The information I got from Serebii.net and the recent Nintendo Direct for 3DS.)
