"Pokémon Sun and Moon" are now scheduled to be released in November and will include three starter types, the grass quill Rowlet, the fire cat Litten and a water-type Popplio.

Rowlet is a grass and flying type quill Pokémon that weights 3.3 lbs., is a foot tall and has the Overgrow ability. It can move and fly silently, thus opponents will have a hard time noticing it and will be too late to launch a counter attack. Its feathers are made from sharp leaves, which can be used for long distance attacks.

"Its visual abilities are impressive. The darkness of night is no obstacle to Rowlet! It can twist its neck nearly 180 degrees from front to back so it can see directly behind itself. It has a habit of turning its head in battle to face its Trainer and receive instructions," the description says.

Litten, is a fire-type cat and has the Blaze ability. It weighs 9.5 lbs. and stands a foot and four inches tall. It is a very passionate Pokémon but also logical, not to mention that it always remains cool in any kind of situation.

"Litten can attack with flaming hairballs! Its fur is rich in oils and immensely flammable. Litten grooms itself by licking its fur, and then uses the collected fur as fuel for fireball attacks!"

Lastly, Pospplio is a sea lion Pokémon and is on the heavy side, at 16.5 lbs. It stands the same as Litten, and can produce Torrent. It feels more confident in the water than on land and can reach swimming speed of more than 25 mph.

"Popplio can snort out balloons made of water! Watch it spin water balloons into a playful battle strategy!" the description says.

The Pokémon Company posted a tweet for its fans just recently and according to Siliconera, the community can expect additional information on the upcoming game on June 2. No other information was mentioned on the posting.

"Pokémon Sun & Moon" are scheduled to be release for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan and North America on Nov. 18, while European fans will experience the games by Nov. 23. They are now available for pre-orders for US$40.
