Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are the eighth pair of main games in the Pokémon franchise, and the first and primary games to be released as part of the series' seventh generation of games. Announced in a special Nintendo Direct on the release date of the original Pokémon Red and Green, the two games are set to be released for Nintendo 3DS in November 2016, as part of the Pokémon 20th Anniversary celebration.
In Europe, these games will launch with "Fan Editions", which include a copy of the game and a steelbook case featuring the Legendary Pokémon of each game and a map of the Alola region on the inside.[7] In North America, players can purchase a "Steelbook Dual Pack" exclusively on Amazon, which comes with both games in a steelbook case.[8]

As we celebrate 20 years since the launch of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green in Japan, the next era of Pokémon games is being announced! Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are coming out for systems in the Nintendo 3DS family in holiday 2016, with a new world, new Pokémon, and new adventures to discover!
Using Pokémon Bank, you'll be able to transfer Pokémon you've caught in the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console versions of Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow into your copy of Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon. Pokémon from Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, and Pokémon Y can also be brought into Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon in the same way.
Visit the Pokémon Bank page for important details on the planned update to support Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.
Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will be the first games in the Pokémon series to allow players to choose from nine languages to play in. In addition to English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish, players will now be able to play in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese.
Story
Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are set in the new Alola region, consisting of a series of tropical islands of varying climates. A group known as Team Skull is terrorizing the region. Also in the region is the Aether Foundation, who are studying powerful creatures known as Ultra Beasts.
Gameplay

This section is a stub. You can help NintendoWiki by expanding it. |
Rather than taking on a series of eight gyms to battle the Pokémon League and become the region Champion, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon instead has players traveling around the Alola region taking part in the island challenge, a rite of passage in the Alola region in which trainers must complete a series of trials on each island, culminating with a battle with the island's Totem Pokémon (a stronger version of a normal Pokémon) and the Island Kahuna.
The battle system has also been adjusted from previous games. While the core mechanics have not been changed, the player can tap the bottom screen to see each Pokémon's stat buffs and debuffs, by pressing L and A simultaneously when selecting a move the player can view its information, and if the player has battled the Pokémon before then the move list will indicate how effective each of the player's moves are on the opposing Pokémon. Finally, certain Pokémon have a "Z-Move", a powerful attack that can only be used one time per battle if the player has a Z-Ring and the proper Z-Crystal.
