Nintendo's upcoming "Pokemon" title "Pokemon Sun and Moon" will soon be released this November, and fans are getting hyped over the new region setting and the new Pokemon that come with it.

The new Pokemon title is going to immerse its players in the tropical world of Alola, where there are new sorts of Pokemon types that emerge after adapting to the environment's unique nature, which means that there will also be new types of challenges that players will eventually take on.

The new "Pokemon Sun and Moon" title will come with new Pokemon such as Mimikyu, Bewear, and the Alolan counterparts of Raichu, Marowak, and Exeggutor as seen in the recently released "Pokemon Sun and Moon" trailer.

The trailer also showed the Z-Moves of the new Pokemon such as Alolan Exeggutor's offensive giant hammer move and Alolan Raichu and Marowak's offensive electric and fire moves.

Though the upcoming Pokemon title seems jam-packed with new Pokemon that players will surely enjoy using, the game's file size is said to be huge enough to take up at least 26,176 blocks of memory on a player's Nintendo 3DS system's SD or microSD card.

The new "Pokemon Sun and Moon" titles are speculated to be 3.2 GB each in size. Getting the "Pokemon Sun and Moon" game and demo would require players to get an extra SD or microSD card since the standard Nintendo 3DS systems and New Nintendo 3DS systems only come with a 4GB SD or microSD card.

On the other hand, Pokemon players can get their hands on a "Pokemon Sun and Moon" demo that will include an Ash-Greninja this October 18th.

The new Pokemon title — "Pokemon Sun and Moon" — will become exclusively available for the 3DS this November 18th, and will be followed by a European release on November 23rd.
