The new core series Pokémon games, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, have been officially revealed in a Pokémon Direct.

These games will be released exclusively for {{bp|Nintendo 3DS}} in late 2016. The Japanese presentation specified winter 2016, the North American one specified holiday 2016, and the European one specified late 2016.

Pokémon Sun and Moon are the start of the next {{bp|generation}} of core Pokémon games, and include new Pokémon and a "new world". Pokémon can only be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon from {{bp|Pokémon X and Y}} and {{bp|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} via Pokémon Bank.

They will be in 2D with some areas also playable in 3D, like the {{bp|Generation VI}} core series games.
