It’s hard to believe that the Pokémon franchise is 20 years old, yet is still as relevant as ever. Between an amazing Super Bowl commercial, the forthcoming Pokémon GO! mobile game experience, and the critically acclaimed Pokken Tournament battling rounds on Wii U, it has continued to win over millions of fans. But now, an even bigger evolution of the franchise is on the horizon.

This morning, Nintendo revealed a new trailer for its two forthcoming Pokémon games for the 3DS, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. First revealed a few months ago, the games will feature new Pokémon characters for players to interact with, as well as bold new adventures that will be the biggest for the series to date. Both games are slated to arrive on November 18, just in time for the holiday season.

The trailer focuses on the three new main Pokémon characters—the owlish Rowlet, the cat-like Litten, and the dog and seal combination, Popplio—to provide players with a quick look at what abilities they bring to the game. It also indicates a new visual push for the series, which goes beyond the highly popular Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, which released in 2013 and became instant best-sellers.

A completely different trailer was also released on the official Pokémon Japanese channel, showing players anticipating the forthcoming release of both games.

The push for these games has been tremendous so far, with social media buzzing over the new trailers. Fans have been chatting on Twitter about the new Pokémon characters, as well as what new challenges are around the corner. This will likely continue next month at E3, when more details about both Sun and Moon are expected to be revealed.

 

Both games will likely be big sellers for both The Pokémon Company and Nintendo, and promotions are likely to ramp up closer to the games’ release, including limited edition character giveaways and other goodies. Look for more information on these promotions in the months ahead, and as devoted Pokémon players always say, “Gotta catch ’em all!”
