By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Generation 7 is upon the world! (Except Europe and Oceania.)
Surely you don't need the likes of me to tell you this: The long-awaited Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon versions are now released by Game Freak. We've been publishing articles on it very consistently for several months now, and it's the last major release for a Nintendo system for 2016.

| The next big Pokémon adventure is now available for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems! Image source: The official site for Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. KoopaTV has covered every bit of content on that site, by the way. |
Like Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, players will not be able to post screenshots of their adventures on the games’ Miiverse community. Huge bummer and missed opportunity. However, given the opportunity to take in-game screenshots and photos, you can send them via the just-released Swapdoodle communication application.
In case you haven't followed our coverage at all, if you're wondering what version I'm getting (note the use of “getting” — as of publishing, I don't own the game, and I don't really know WHEN I plan to get it), it's Pokémon Moon. And I'm going to choose Rowlet as my starter. It seems like more people will get Pokémon Moon than Pokémon Sun, according to today's GameFAQs Poll of the Day and my small straw poll posted in my Pokémon Online channel, Fullmoon Island.
(I'm running something called Fullmoon Island, so you should expect that I'm getting Pokémon Moon.)
If you have any comments as to your experience with the game so far, or you want to keep this article nice and active with comments throughout your play experience, I'm fine with that. Don't expect much more Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon articles on KoopaTV after this.
I don't know if I'll cover my experience on a Planet Koopa thread like I've done for all my other playthroughs of Pokémon RPGs for the past several years since SoulSilver, or if I'll do it on Miiverse. No screenshots either way, but in terms of archival purposes Planet Koopa seems better. Miiverse might go and disappear once the Nintendo Switch is released, anyway!
This will not be the last notable game released this year. Don't forget: KoopaTV still has not released its 2016 videogame, and since it's called the 2016 videogame, that means KoopaTV has until tonight to December 31st to do so! Stay tuned! (KoopaTV is aiming for before December 31st, if you're wondering. Don't want to repeat last year.)
Super Mario Run does not count as a major release for a Nintendo system, and it's garbage anyway.
KoopaTV's 2016 game, which is heavily based on Pokémon's Super Contest system, was released on December 23rd!
According to a rumor, Pokémon Sun & Moon will also have another version released on the Switch called Pokémon Stars. Pokémon Earth or Planet would be a more fitting title since the sun is a star, but then again this game will probably never release.
ReplyDeleteWell, you know how I feel about speculating on rumours. The point of it is to try to depress current sales!
DeleteI was planning to go for Litten as my starter, but I've been leaning toward Rowlet lately.
ReplyDeleteWhy?
DeleteI saw their evolutions, and I don't like Litten's final form very much. Meanwhile, all of Rowlet's forms are great! (Rowlet also drew tons of Edgeworth comparisons for its second form.)
DeleteWould you like Incineroar better if, say, they weren't bipedal? So like Luxray?
Delete(Yeah, including on this very website's comments section.)
Hmm, yes, although even if it was still bipedal, if it looked less like a wrestler. xD
DeleteSo that's your problem with 5-2 of Dual Destinies!!
DeleteHey, since when do I have a problem with 5-2?
DeleteYou don't have a problem with 5-2?
