A Whole New Set of Pokemon
The main draw of every new Pokemon game is the weird and wonderful creatures you’ll be able to capture along your journey. Sun and Moon really comes out of the gate running in this regard, as they’re introducing a wacky and colorful cast of new Pokemon. We don’t know exactly how many new Pokemon Sun and Moon will add on just yet, but so far we’ve been introduced to about 30 new ones.
Some of these are just ridiculous, like the sandcastle Pokemon Palossand or the pink bear (featured above) named Bewear, who gives death hugs. Of course one of the most popular Pokemon so far has been Mimikyu, a Ghost type that wears a Pikachu disguise because it’s tired of being scary and wants to be loved.
Nintendo and the team behind Sun and Moon have been very vocal about the wacky tone of the new games and new Pokemon, saying that they really wanted to go all out for the series’ 20th anniversary. You can read more about the wacky tone of the game and why it could be a good thing right here.
