A new trailer for Nintendo’s upcoming Pokémon Sun and Moon has been released today and it gave us a first glimpse of the new starter Pokémon for the popular franchise seventh generation.
Fans of the series will already know the traditional mechanic for each game is the player (or trainer) is given a choice of your first Pokémon from three options: a fire, water or a grass type. As with previous iterations, Pokémon Sun and Moon keeps this mechanic and today we got a look at the three brand new Pocket Monsters on show.
