Whole bunch of Sun/Moon revealed!

(Not obvious but I photoshopped Eevee's head on Orgodemir, the Demon King from DQVII - I love the remake of DQVII)

HOLY S%*@, GAME FREAK! WHAT SORT OF SAKE WERE YOU DRINKING WHEN YOU CREATED THIS, AND CAN I HAVE IT?

Seriously, this is what a lot of people were freaking out over when they saw this new Z-Move for Eevee. Yes, two new signature Z-Moves have been revealed for untouched Pikachu and untouched Eevee, which means you can never evolve them. Pikachu got a pinball move which I think will be Ash's secret weapon if they ever have him do the Island Challenge - I can probably forgive the writers for making Ash look like something from a B-rate Saturday cartoon after Kalos if he spams this - and Eevee...

Well, meet Extreme Evoboost which totally rips off of Power Rangers; Eevee's eight evolved forms appear and empower Eevee... and he gets a boost doubling all his stats. Yep, it's like the side-effect of Ancient Power and Silver Wind, boosting all your stats, DOUBLED. This means that it'll be the OP in Little Cup but they'll probably ban Z-Moves in Little Cup considering they are so OP.

Of course, we now know how Z-Moves work. It's not enough to simply have the gem in your bracelet and have your partner wearing a gem... you have to select the Z-Move option and then the move you are going to transform into the Z-Move for that turn. (Yes, like Mega Evolutions, you can only use the Z-Move once in battle, and only once. It's a secret weapon.) So a move has to be sacrificed to become a Z-Move. Even so, Extreme Evoboost is going to be totally broken in Little Cup...

Also, if you know about Rockruff, the little dog Pokemon, we found out that it evolves into the wolf Pokemon Lycanroc... but what Lycanroc becomes depends on your version. If you get Pokemon Sun, Lycanroc will be a desert wolf which gains a signature move that is the Rock-type Quick Attack, AccelRock. (Yes, that is how it is written.) But if you get Moon, Lycanroc becomes a bloodthirsty werewolf which gets Counter instead. Now I have more fuel to the fire for AuraGuardian's joke vid about Pokemon who can kill Superman... Lycanroc Midnight Form with Focus Sash... ^_^

We get info on two new Pokemon - Pokemon Sun gets Passimian, a Fighting-type monkey which plays footballs with giant berries and has the ability Receiver, which is only useful in double/triple battles. If the Pokemon next to it dies, the ability transforms into the fallen's ability, meaning that the opponent has to deal with another dose of that ability, which triggers right away if it was something like Intimidate. Pokemon Moon(the version I will start with) gets Oranguru, a white gorilla which looks like a wise sage(it's even called the Sage Pokemon) which is Normal/Psychic and has a chance of having Telepathy, meaning it can avoid getting hit with the partner's Surf/Earthquake/etc... and it should because of its signature move, Instruct. It's probably going to be a go-last move like Counter which allows Oranguru to teach the partner how to focus and causes the partner to use the move it had just used AGAIN! That means: Those Pokemon which survived by hanging on with one HP? Nope, it's dead now. :D

Anyways, we also get some minor stuff about the Pokemon-Amie thing, called Pokemon Refresh. It seems that now you have to groom your Pokemon. You can ignore that, but if you want that shiny Crobat, you have to keep grooming it! Also, it seems that it mitigates the use of status removal items like Antidote as you can use a medical swab to clean it of the poison and paralysis conditions.

Finally, I relate the fact that yes, Virginia, you can customize your trainer to look like you, or your dreamboat fantasy girlfriend, or whatever, thanks to the huge amount of style options. I don't see as many for my self-insert avatar(the boy) but I'm sure we'll see something soon. Also, it seems that you buy clothes(or dye clothes) with Festival Coins, so I think that this game will take place during a festival and you can earn coins by mini-games or some other method. Maybe that Pyukumuku task gives you festival coins? Anyways, there's a lot of new stuff.

EDIT: I also forgot to mention the new Ultra Beasts that appeared, UB02 Beauty which looks like a woman with the hair looking like a waterskipper, and UB02 Adaption, which looks like a muscular red mosquito man, both attacking Tapu Koko. (I also mislabeled the Ultra Beasts as Pokemon but we don't know it they are Pokemon or actually aliens which are separate and thus uncatchable but you might fight them.) It looks like this "great catastrophe" I mentioned last post might be the Ultra Beasts invading the world and the Guardian Pokemon trying to drive them away. Stay tuned for October, when the Pokemon CO releases even more new info as the release date draws near! ;)

In the meantime...

I'll be playing my digital copy of Dragon Quest VII for the 3DS. I'm at the third-final land to be freed, but I need to get Multiheal for that dang Cumulus Hex. X(
