After a long period of waiting and speculation, the arrival of the newest "Pokemon" game has been confirmed for this year. "Pokemon Sun and Moon" is probably one of the biggest game offering by The Pokemon Company and Nintendo, just in time for the 20th anniversary since the very first Pokemon game was released. This time, the latest 3DS game will be introducing exciting features to players. Most of the features present in "Pokemon Sun and Moon" will be introduced for the first time in a "Pokemon" handheld game.

According to the latest reports, "Pokemon Sun and Moon" will be featuring a brand new Pokedex that is expected to sport a more sophisticated design that its previous versions from older "Pokemon" games. Aside from its new appearance, the new Pokedex will also be given new functions beneficial for Pokemon trainers.

According to iDigital Times, the new Pokedex from "Pokemon Sun and Moon" is designed to persuade the players into finishing the entire game. There are times when players seem to lose interest in finishing their Pokemon journey, but Nintendo is reported to reboot some features of the game. Specifically, the Rotom Pokedex is expected to give directions prompted by every interaction with other trainers throughout the game. It will also take note of the future destinations and current locations of the players.

Meanwhile, Polygon reported that "Pokemon Sun and Moon" will also be featuring nine new Pokemons in the game. The names of these nine Pokemon's are Magearna, Iwanko, Rowlet, Poppilo, Yungoos, Solgaleo, Litten, Lunala and Grubbin.

The fans can get the first updates from "Pokemon Sun and Moon" by getting the latest issues of CoroCoro magazine. Serebii first reported that CoroCoro, one of the biggest source material of the latest scoops on Japanese games, will be having special featurettes of "Pokemon Sun and Moon" on their monthly issues.

"Pokemon Sun and Moon" will hit the digital markets on Nov. 18.
