    A new trailer dropped a couple of days ago. Obviously, we have all the leaked information, but I'll post the general contents here for those not interested in things that have been released unofficially:

    - Unique Z-moves were confirmed for the final evolutions of the starters. I'm not really excited for this, but it was kinda predictable really. Look them up, I can't be bothered posting the info

    - A couple of Ultra Beasts were revealed: UB-03 Lighting (which must be Electric-typed), and UB-05 Glutton (that belly mouth, yo).

    - Alolan Diglett and Dugtrio were officially confirmed. They are Ground/Steel types with Sand Veil and Tangling Hair (which is a Gooey clone). RIP viability of Dugtrio, Arena Trap is gone.

    - The trailer and official website confirmed how to get the first of the event Pokémon of Gen 7: Playing the Sun/Moon demo to transfer over Ash-Greninja; scanning a QR Code for Magearna will allow you to receive it as a gift from the antique shop in the Hau’oli City shopping mall; and the Munchlax with the Snorlax Z Crystal will be the very first Wifi Mystery Gift of Gen 7.



    With the worldwide (EXCEPT EUROPE!!!) release of Sun and Moon just 2 days away, the first reviews of Sun and Moon are now being released. Currently, they have a Metacritic score of 88, making Sun and Moon the 2nd and 3rd highest rated 3DS games this year... behind Picross 3D: Round 2.

    More notably, it is higher rated than: all versions of Fire Emblem Fates; Monster Hunter Generations, Bravely Second, SMT4: Apocalypse, Phoenix Wright - Spirit of Justice, and Kirby: Planet Robobot.

    Take that as you will.

    Metascore ratings for Nintendo games are always useless, they're always held to stupid standards, especially when it's the 3DS and you're only competing with like 5 other games for play time.

    With that in mind 88 is kind of low honestly. Not breaking 90 with the current pool of games is completely meh.

    Sun and Moon are now out in the Australian eShop! With that being the case, I'm now going to open a post-release discussion.
