So die Direct und der Leak einen Tag vor der Nintendo Direct haben uns zumindest mit der Ankündigung der nächsten Generation bescherrt. Viele Informationen wurden uns ja mit der Direct selbst leider nicht bereitgestellt außer das nun Chinesisch als Sprache hinzugekommen ist, ein ungefährer Releaserahmen genannt und ein paar Footageschnipsel gezeigt wurden. Da ist die Pressemitteilung schon ergiebiger.

Bulbapedia hat die bisherigen Informationen nochmal zusammengefasst:
ZitatAlles anzeigenThese games will be released exclusively for Nintendo 3DS in late 2016. The Japanese presentation specified winter 2016, the North American one specified holiday 2016, and the European one specified late 2016.
Pokémon Sun and Moon are the start of the next generation of core Pokémon games, and include new Pokémon and a "new world". Pokémon can only be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon from Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire via Pokémon Bank.
The games will be available in 9 languages: Japanese, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Korean, as well as the two new languages Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.
The games will be compatible with Pokémon Bank. Pokémon from the Generation I Virtual Console games will be able to be sent to Pokémon Bank, then sent to Pokémon Sun and Moon.
They will be in 2D with some areas also playable in 3D, like the Generation VI core series games.
Ich freu mich schon auf die nächste Generation und hoffe auf einen Haufen neuer Pokemon. Ich brauch Futter da in der Bank schon alle alten liegen. xD In Japan soll es ja im Winter 2016 soweit sein und für Amerika wurde zumindest Ferien 2016 genannt, hoffentlich isses bei uns irgendwo im selben Rahmen ein gleichzeitiger Release wäre natürlich super. Über die nächsten Monate wird uns sicherlich einiges an Material präsentiert was Ich dann im Startpost verarbeitete.
