Okay, fellow Pokemon fans. More Z-Moves and new Pokemon have been revealed.

First, let's cover the Z-Moves.

We already got to see Gigavolt Havoc, Bloom Doom, Hydro Vortex, and Inferno Overdrive from what we were shown at E3, but now a whole bunch more moves have been revealed to us.

So, we had a Ghost-type and Fighting-type Z-Move revealed, but we don't know what their English names will be yet. So until we know that, I'll just put the literal translations of their Japanes names. For the Ghost move, it's Invitation To The Infinite Dark Night, while for the Fighting move, it's Full-Force Unparalleled Fists of Fury.

Now for something interesting: Pokemon-specific Z-Moves!

The Alolan Raichu seems to be going all the way with the fact that it's design is based on the Surfing Pikachu with its Z-Move, Stoked SparkSurfer!

Snorlax can put the technique Body Slam to shame with its Pulverizing Pancake!

Pikachu isn't letting its evolution be the only one with its own Z-Move, as it's getting CatastroPika! Sorry, Volt Tackle, but it looks like a far superior move has stolen your spotlight!

Finally, Eevee is getting powered up by all of its evolutions with the move Extreme Evoboost! Rather than dealing damage to the opponent, this Z-Move summons all eight of its evolved forms-Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon-to raise all of its stats by two stages.

Okay, like before, there are too many new Pokemon for me to have time to give attention to all of them. I'll just cover a couple version-exclusives, and the obligatory artifical Pokemon that each generation seems to require.

First up, the artificial Pokemon, which is known simply as Type:Null. That thing is a chimera Pokemon, no matter how you look at it, and its design kind of creeps me out. Anyhow, it's a Normal-type, and its ability is Battle Armor. It has been confirmed to have the moves Tri-Attack and Crush Claw.

Next up, Passimian. This Fighting-type gorilla is exclusive to Pokemon Sun. It's ability is Receiver, and it's known to have access to the move Fling.

Finally, there'sOranguru. This Normal/Psychic type simian is exclusive to Pokemon Moon. It's ability can be either Inner Focus or Telepathy, and it is known to have access to the move Instruct.

Now, before I end this off, there's something interesting about the clocks in the two games. It seems that, if the two games are each in a Nintendo 3DS system that's set to the same time, while the in-game time for Pokemon Sun will match the system's time, the in-game time for Pokemon Moon will actually be 12 hours off. So, for example, if it's noon in Pokemon Sun, it would be midnight in Pokemon Moon.
