More details about Pokémon Sun and Moon will be announced next Tuesday, May 10.
Pokémon director Junichi Masuda made the announcement on his blog, saying the information would be revealed “around 21:00 JST” on May 10th. That’s 5am PT/8am ET/1pm BST.
We’ve seen very little about the new 3DS installments in the Pokémon franchise. The games are scheduled to release in Holiday 2016 worldwide. The last installments, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, were remakes of the classic Generation III Gameboy Advance games and were well received for the most part. Before that, we got Pokémon X and Y, which were fairly popular installments released on the 3DS in 2013 and was our first look at Pokémon’s completely altered visual style.
It will be interesting to see if Sun and Moon really alters the formula of Pokémon. More than likely, these games will still follow the typical formula but considering we didn’t get a 3rd installment of X and Y (Z?), fans have plenty of anticipation for these new titles.
Are you looking forward to Pokemon Sun and Moon? Will you buy them on release? Are you excited to see the new footage? Let us know in the comments below.
