Here's When New Pokemon Sun/Moon Details Will Be Revealed

More information about Pokemon Sun and Moon will be revealed on May 10, according to developer GameFreak's Junichi Masuda. In a Twitter post, Masuda said the studio will discuss this year's entries in the series at 21:00 PM JST (5:00 AM PT).

As previously announced, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon will be available this holiday on 3DS. Although details on the game haven't been released, Nintendo has confirmed that--for the first time in franchise history--Sun and Moon will offer traditional and simplified Chinese as language options.

Additionally, they will come with Pokemon Bank functionality, allowing players to move Pokemon wirelessly from Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow (available now on 3DS), as well as Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, X, and Y, to Sun and Moon. More details on how this works are available here.

February 27 was the 20th anniversary of the Pokemon franchise's debut in Japan in 1996. To celebrate, Nintendo hosted a 24-hour animation livestream event on Twitch, along with releasing classic Pokemon games Red, Blue, and Yellow for the 3DS eShop.

The last Pokemon games in the series for 3DS were Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which came out in November 2014.
