By

The highly anticipated "Pokemon Sun and Moon" had already broken records even before its official launch. Financial records of the popular Nintendo game showed that "Pokemon Sun and Moon" quickly became the most pre-ordered game in Nintendo's history, while "Pokemon Moon" claimed the title for most downloaded 3DS demo.

According to Bloomberg, the interest for the "Pokemon Sun and Moon" was reinvigorated in part because of the "Pokemon Go" phenomenon. Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima commented that it was also the success of the synergy between the smartphone games and their hardware/software games that made all the difference for the continued growth of the Pokemon franchise.

Wishiwashi and other Totem Pokemon

And the hype for "Pokemon Sun and Moon" continues to grow as a slew of new information regarding the game continue to leak via data mining. Reports suggested that there is some hidden information about the game, and it has to do with the new Pokemon, Wishiwashi.

According to the new trailer for "Pokemon Sun and Moon" as released by Nintendo, the trainer will have to face a Totem Pokemon, Wishiwashi, which previously did not exist in the demo. The other confirmed Totem Pokemon from the demoleaks are: Gumshoos, Lurantis, Salandit's Evolution, Vikavolt, Mimikyu and Kommo-o, according to Nintendo.

Z-moves on Pokemon Sun and Moon

Another trailer from Pokemon showed off some new Z-Moves, which are special attacks for certain Pokemon as long as they're holding the Z-Crystal. For example, Pikachu, which is an electric type, can use a Normal-type Z-Crystal to use a Normal-type attack.

In the trailer, Mimikyu is shown using Neverending Nightmare, which is a Ghost type-Z move. Another Z-move in the trailer is called All-Out Pummeling, which allows Pokemon to charge at their opponents.

The new "Pokemon Sun and Moon" game will launch on Nov. 18.
