Pokemon Sun and Moon 3

The next iterations in the Pokemon series, namely Sun and Moon, will be out for 3DS systems on November 18th.

In the meantime, the three new starter Pokemon for trainers have been revealed – Grass and Flying-type Rowlet, Fire-type Littenand Water-type Popplio. They each have their own unique abilities and skills. Rowlet is specialized in kicks and using its feather leaves to attack foes. It can also turn its neck almost 180 degrees which surely won’t give us nightmares anytime soon…oh wait, it looks at you as it waits for instructions. Nice.

Litten is a Fire-type which ignites its fur balls and attacks enemies with the same. It’s most effective attack is burning all of its fur in a blaze of glory. Wait, what? Then there’s Popplio which makes water balloons from its nose and can use these to jump and perform other stunts. Somehow it seems like the sanest one so we’ll go with that. Check out the starters below in a new trailer.

What are your thoughts on the new Pokemon starters? Let us know in the comments while we collect our trauma.
