Pokemon Sun & Moon Demo Out Now, Has Been Datamined for New Monster Info
The Pokemon Sun and Moon demo is available now and has been datamined for new information. The findings have been laid out in a series of YouTube videos and include everything from item sprites to information on new abilities and brand new monsters.
According to the datamine, there's 800 Pokemon in Sun and Moon. To avoid spoilers, we won't mention specifics here, so if you want to find out about some of the new Pokemon and as of yet unannounced Alolan forms, you can watch the videos.
In the Pokemon Sun and Moon demo, which is available on the eShop now, players will have Greninja on their roster. It can become Ash-Greninja and you can transfer it to the full game. Ash-Greninja was previously seen alongside Ash in the Pokemon the Series: XYZ animated TV show.
Pokemon Sun and Moon are scheduled to come out on November 18. They are the first new games in the mainline series since Pokemon Go's record-setting release in July, which reinvigorated increased interest in Pokemon. Whether this will translate to stronger sales of the traditional Pokemon games will be interesting to see. Nintendo recently announced that 2DS sales surged 500 percent due to "excitement for the Pokemon brand," which is likely due to Pokemon Go.
The Pokemon Company announced in September that Pokemon Bank functionality for Sun and Moon won't be available at launch. Instead, the feature will be added through an update in January 2017.
