Two new Pokemon were revealed at the E3 livestream: Pikipek, the bird seen in the original Sun and Moon trailer, and Yungoos, a completely new Pokemon.
Also revealed was a free-for-all battle format called Battle Royale, where you play against 3 other trainers and can attack whichever Pokemon you wish. The person to get the most kills wins.
Several things were teased, nothing is really confirmed yet, but here’s what I got from the stream:
Hala is most likely the champion.
A mysterious ‘Tapu Koko’ character was mentioned both in game and by the hosts, but they explicitly said they couldn’t talk more about it.
Immediately following the E3 stream, Pokemon released a new video revealing Grubbin and Magearna:
Magearna’s Soul-Heart ability raises it’s Special Attack when an ally (in a double/triple battle) is knocked out. Completely useless lol.
Everything about this game looks amazing. Can’t wait to play it! I hope we get some news of new mechanics or something big soon, and then they give us some time to digest that. All of this is awesome, but it’s basically all to be expected. Better graphics, new Pokemon, new abilities, etc etc, its all what we think is gonna be in the game. I want a massive curveball soon!
All 3 new ones look good. Though we technically knew about the bird. And the forms were slightly unexpected, but both look badass. It was a pretty good moment when yungoos popped up on the e3 stream.
