Pokemon Sun/Moon

While the Pokemon direct yesterday was pretty disappointing we at least got the announcement of two new mainline games. At the end of the year we'll once again travel into the world of Pokemon with the seventh generation Sun/Moon.

While I'm no hardcore Pokemon by any means, I haven't skipped a generation and I'm looking forward to these new games. Even though I could have waited another year for the seventh generation, and would have been happy with just a Pokemon Z, this development makes sense in the light of the series 20^th anniversary.

But what exactly do we know about Pokemon Sun/Moon? Sadly next to nothing. The direct didn't show any trailer or something like that, but we at least got four pictures of concept art out of it, so let's take a look at them.

The first picture shows us that this time Pokemon will be strong integrated into everyday life and not just get used for battling. This is something we already have seen plenty of times in the Anime series, but in the games it had never been reflected. So with this new generation we may see Pokemon doing a wide array of everyday jobs.

Next up is, what looks like, a new Pokemon Center design. There is not much to say about this, but I really like the look of it.

Next up are several pictures that give us a glimpse in the architecture of the new region. I can't nail it down precisely, but the picture on the left gives me a tropical vibe with its Palm trees and warm, blue sky. Could the next region be inspired by the Caribbean?

Lastly we also got a glimpse at the first Pokemon from the seventh generation. It was only a early wireframe model, but it's pretty clear that this is the standard bird Pokemon, which you'll encounter early in the game. Every generation had it, every generation will have it.

And that's all that there is to Pokemon Sun and Moon so far. I'm looking forward to the game. What was your reaction?

And as always
