The 2DS comes with a bright turquoise design, and is pre-loaded with either version of the game.
Pokemon Sun and Moon will both be bringing a new move to the series, the Z-Move. There’s no word if the bundle or something similar will make its way to the United States, as of yet.
A new teaser trailer released today by Nintendo shows off the Alola islands Normal/Dark-type Rattata plus a special Z-Move for Snorlax.
This Snorlax holds the item Snorlium Z and can use a Z-Move called Pulverizing Pancake.
The bonus Munchlax will also know the move “Hold Back”, which it could not normally learn. This Munchlax will hold a new Z-Move exclusive to Snorlax that allows for a devastating Normal-type attack. When players use Happy Hour during a Trainer battle, they’ll receive twice as much prize money after the battle for use on their adventure. We already found out Rattata receives an Alolan form.
Additionally, Nintendo also revealed another Alolan variant for an existing Pokemon- Alolan Rattata, a Dark type Rattata that evolved into being nocturnal, in response to predatory threats in its environment. Alolan Rattata have an excellent aptitude for sniffing out delicious fresh foods in Alola.

It should be noted that the Alolan Rattata and Raticate were allegedly leaked several months ago along with art of the Alolan starters’ evolved forms. The livestream is expected to provide significant information on the company’s current and upcoming titles, including “Pokemon Sun and Moon”.
