The next versions of Pokémon are now official after someone let the cat out of the bag yesterday. Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will usher in a a new generation of Pokémon and be released worldwide, in 9 languages later this year on the Nintendo 3DS.

During the Pokémon Direct there was a trailer played however there was no gameplay or screenshots to be found. Glimpses of the new games’ artwork was shown but nothing more. The trailer did evoke some nostalgia – have no doubt this is the next mainline game and not a ‘third’ Pokémon title.

The only other thing announced was the addition of Pokémon Bank support to Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow. You’ll be able to take your Gen 1 Pokémon to the latest game for the first time since… well a while.
