This is Red and Blue all over again – which version are you picking up?

Pokemon Sun & Moon

Nintendo has been frequently rolling out announcements and providing details about the upcoming installments in the Pokémon series—Sun & Moon. It’s given us a peek at the new Alola region, new NPC’s, new battle features, and many new Pokémon. In Nintendo’s latest SuMo video, viewers are shown new version-exclusive Pokémon, that is, Pokémon that can only be found in either Sun or Moon, but not both.

Pokémon Sun’s first version-exclusive is Passimian, a Fighting-type black and white monkey who wields berries. Passimian has a new ability called Receiver, which lets the Pokémon “take over” an ally Pokémon’s ability when it faints in battle.

Pokémon Moon players can receive the new Pokémon Oranguru, a Normal and Psychic-type ape with a purple cape and leaf fan. Oranguru can have one of two abilities: Inner Focus or Telepathy. It also introduces a new move that only it can learn called Instruct, which makes the selected target use its most recent move again immediately.

Rockruff

In addition to these version-exclusives, recently-revealed Pokémon Rockruff will evolve into different forms of Lycanroc depending on your version. In Sun, Lycanroc is in its Midday Form, a tan wolf with either the Keen Eye or Sand Rush ability. Only Midday Form Lycanroc can learn the new move Accelerock: a Physical attack that is guaranteed to go first in battle. In Moon, Lycanroc is in its Midnight Form, a red and white wolf with glowing eyes boasting either the Keen Eye or Vital Spirit ability. While it is not a new move, only Lycanroc’s Midnight Form can learn Counter, which deals back double the damage it received from an enemy Pokémon.

So which version is right for you? You have a little more time to meditate and figure that out – Pokémon Sun & Moon will hit shelves on November 18.

Mischa grew up with video games and still has a deep love for many - especially fun, colorful RPGs. Some of her favorites include Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Fantasy Life, Kingdom Hearts, Skyrim, Civilization V, and Stardew Valley. She loves nights in with her boyfriend cooking Mexican food, watching Studio Ghibli movies, and going head-to-head in their favorite games. Mischa might not beat you in Super Smash Bros, but she owns a replica of Arwen’s sword and Hermione’s wand, so... don’t rub it in too much.
