After the leak of the final evolutions of the new starter Pokemon in the new "Pokemon Sun and Moon" game, it seems that the developers wasted no time in revealing them officially. The new trailer of the title has been released via  the Pokemon YouTube channel in order to serve as a teaser for the upcoming game.

According to Tech.Mic, the grass-type Pokemon Rowlet — who evolves into the angsty-looking Dartrix — will now evolve into an even more angsty-looking grass/ghost type Pokemon known as Decidueye. It can even be seen with a complete hood it can pull tight around its face.

As for the fire-type starter Pokemon Litten — that evolves into its less cuter version called Torracat — it can further evolve into an angry-looking, masculine feline creature called Incineroar, which is a Fire/Dark type.

And last but not the least, the final evolution of the water-type starter Pokemon Popplio — whose first evolution is Brionne — seems to have an "Ugly Duckling" type of story, as it finally evolves into the impressively-designed Water/Fairy type Pokemon Primarina.

Meanwhile, according to Game N guide, "Pokemon Sun and Moon" had a special demo that was launched specifically to give players a taste of what they can expect once they get the game. However, it seems that the full version of the game has a number of secrets kept within the demo.

The new demo is said to be worth it as a type of Pokemon — Ash-Greninja — can be earned through the demo only. For those who are able get the Pokemon, they will be able to transfer it the game's full version once it gets released.

Players are required, however, to complete certain goals in order to obtain the Pokemon, but for those who just want to have fun with it, they can still earn some items by just playing it the way they like.

"Pokemon Sun and Moon" will be released on Nov. 18 for the Nintendo 3DS.
