Young me would find this summary trailer mind-blowing

It’s starting to dawn on me just how excited I am forPokémon SunandMoon. In a word:incredibly.

There’s a lot of new elements to take in for these titles, as evidenced by this latest overview trailer, but for me it always comes back to the creatures themselves, not so much the battle mechanics, customization options, or anything else. WithSunandMoon, I feel like we’re getting the best of both worlds —cool new dudesand also familiar but freakyAlola formsthat play up our nostalgia.

For a split second, at around 1:31 in the video, there’s another familiar face. It may look like a long-haired, beach-going Professor Oak living out his days in paradise, but that’sactually his relative.

“Samson Oak does research on the regional variants that have taken root in the Alola region. He’s a cousin oftheProfessor Oak — the famous authority on Pokémon research in the Kanto region. The two could practically be twins!”
