​Sun and Moon will take place in the region known as Alola, which features four tropical islands and one artificial island to explore and discover new Pokémon.

Players will have access to a special Pokédex inhabited by a Rotom, adding personality to the device. The Rotom Pokédex will also advise players on where to go next based on their previous conversations with other characters.

​Check out the new trailer below for a look at the new legendary Pokémon in action:

And, as promised, a few of the details shared by Nintendo regarding the new legendary Pokémon:

• Name: Solgaleo
• Category: Sunne Pokémon
• Height: 11′02″
• Weight: 507.1 lbs.
• Type: Psychic/Steel
• Ability: Full Metal Body

“Honoured as an emissary of the sun since ancient times, Solgaleo is referred to with reverence as “the beast that devours the sun.” Solgaleo’s body holds a vast amount of energy, and it shines with light when it is active. It has a flowing mane with a remarkable resemblance to the sun. Its signature move is Sunsteel Strike, an attack that charges at an opponent with the force of a meteor, disregarding the target’s Ability. Solgaleo’s Ability is Full Metal Body, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. With the Full Metal Body Ability, a Pokémon’s stats will not be lowered by the effects of an opponent’s moves or Ability.”

• Name: Lunala
• Category: Moone Pokémon
• Height: 13′01″
• Weight: 264.6 lbs.
• Type: Psychic/Ghost
• Ability: Shadow Shield

“Since ancient times, Lunala has been honoured as an emissary of the moon. Referred to with reverence as “the beast that calls the moon,” Lunala is constantly absorbing light and converting it into energy. With its wings spread to absorb the surrounding light and glittering like the crescent moon, it resembles a beautiful night sky. Lunala’s signature Moongeist Beam attack releases an ominous beam of light that disregards the target’s Ability. Lunala’s Ability is Shadow Shield, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. With the Shadow Shield Ability, a Pokémon will take less damage from an attack that lands when the Pokémon has full HP.”

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will release 23 November exclusively on Nintendo 3DS.
