[BLOG] Sun & Moon confirmed in Nintendo Direct

After speculation on it yesterday, we finally have confirmation - Pokemon Sun & Moon are real and they're coming some time this year.



In a Nintendo Direct that recounted the last 20 years of Pokemon game releases and showed video of games from all the generations in all languages that they were available in, it was announced that the new games Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon are going to have a worldwide release in late 2016. In addition, both games will be available in the previous seven languages that games have had as well as two new ones - regular and simplified Chinese.

It was also announced that the first Pokemon games - Red, Yellow and Blue - are going to be released to the Nintendo eShop tomorrow as paid digital downloads. It was explained that while Nintendo had always endeavored to have two different generations backwards compatible, they'd never been able to make the connectivity link between the Game Boy and DS hardware work. So therefore with these new digital download versions, it's now possible for you to get Pokemon from the original generation games into Sun & Moon (and possibly the other modern Pokemon games, but that wasn't stated so we'll have to see).



Speculation about the new games started when the logos for both games were leaked, as well as trademark filings for "Pokemon Sun" and "Pokemon Moon" in Europe being revealed. Domain names were also registered for both games that directed back to the main Pokemon website.



Obviously right now, little more is known about the games but as news emerges we'll update you. Stay tuned for more!

Yes that's Minecraft-me in my av. Done by Reiu who is damn talented!
