'Pokemon Sun And Moon' Latest Teaser Trailer Features New Pokemon And Alola Forms; See The Z-Moves Of Two Pocket Monsters [VIDEO]

Amid rumors hinting that popularity of the hit augmented-reality mobile game, "Pokemon Go" is losing edge, a couple of upcoming video games in the Pokemon series, "Pokemon Sun" and "Pokemon Moon" are already stirring conversations among avid gamers.

The Pokemon Company recently rolled out a brand new teaser for the impending 3DS-exclusive RPGS, "Pokemon Sun and Moon." The footage, which was uploaded on the developer's official YouTube channel on Thursday, September 1, shows off new Pokemon and Alola forms, and unveils the Z-Moves of two pocket monsters.

Nintendo spilled the beans about the upcoming "Pokemon Sun and Moon" title during a recently held Nintendo 3DS-focused live stream event, Polygon reported.

The details that Nintendo divulged are also highlighted in The Pokemon Company's recently rolled out teaser trailer for the two games.

Avid gamers have been waiting with bated breath for some sort of information regarding the much-lauded game; the new video clip compensates for the delay by introducing a slew of new Pokemon and Alola forms that are slated to join to the action when the game hits the store shelves this November.

The new teaser clip offers a sneak peek of Ratatta's Alola form, Snorlax and the latter's pre-evolved form, Munchlax - all three have yet to be included in the U.S. version, but have already been added in to the Japanese Pokedex.

The clip gives us a fair idea of how the Z-Moves of Snorlax and Alolan Raichu would actually look like in the games.

The Alolan Ratatta seems to have retained the same appearance as the one from the original lineup, however since this one dwells in the islands of the Alola Region, its skin has changed into black. But that's not the only change; instead of whiskers, the rat Pokemon will reportedly flaunt a moustache in style.

Although, the teaser clip does not divulge a lot of information regarding what fans can anticipate from Alolan Ratatta, the Pokedex on The Pokemon Company's Japanese website (via International Business Times) says this nocturnal Pokemon prefers to live in group in urban regions. Moreover, the creature has an ability to find delicious food. As far as its new form is concerned, The Pokemon Company says Rattata has evolved to its Alola form following its showdown for territory with previously introduced Pokemon, Yungoos.

Snorlax, is another Pokemon the developer recently unveiled. Snorlax is from the original lineup of pocket monsters. In fact, Snorlax can be recalled as the laziest Pokemon who simply loves to eat and sleep. However, players of "Pokémon Sun and Moon" are in for a surprise as they will see a different Snorlax, even the one that is not in Alola form.

Apparently, the new Snorlax is not the same as the one featured in the previous games as it is on its feet when viewed in the Pokedex.

Regrettably, there is a catch in terms of when and how players can capture a Snorlax in the game as Nintendo has already clarified that only gamers who will buy "Pokemon Sun and Moon" by January 11, 2017, would get a Munchlax, which is the pre-evolved form of Snorlax, on their games. This means, players will need to preoder the RPGs by the said date if they want to see Snorlax.

Simply having Munchlax may not encourage many players to pre-order the game; but Nintendo has more in store for those who will purchase the game early.

The special Pokemon Munchlax will come with a Snorlium Z, the item players need in order to unleash the Z-Move of Snorlax using the Z-Ring that, according to the new trailer, is extremely strong attack dubbed as Pulverizing Pancake, MyNintendoNews reported.

The last bit of the footage shows off the Z-Move of Alolan Raichu. Dubbed as Stoked Sparksurfer, the move features Raichu riding its tail, surfing through the air while generating electricity all over its body in time for its physical attack against an opponent.
