The highly anticipated games Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are now starting to become available on the Nintendo 3DS’s eShop as midnight hits in different regions. Currently the game is out in Australia & New Zealand, but very soon it will go live in Japan as well. Unfortunately, Europe is still slated to get the games on November 23.
For those living the US, we’re embedding a live countdown for Eastern Standard Time:
It’s been a long, long wait, but we’ve almost made it to the end. Here are some BRAND-NEW pages to help you get started in Alola!
My question to you… what will you do first in Sun & Moon? Any particular Pokémon you want to catch?
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Dream Sun & Moon Team










Okay so far the level curve is moving along quite nicely. I only have 2 Pokemon and the trainers where I am are all pretty close to my levels (just before 2nd Trial).
What will I do first… that’s a hard one. I guess I want to capture a Rockruff and play with it and Litten in Pokemon Refresh! EDIT: I think I’ll play Moon first, because I’ll be up all night probably and also that’s got Drampa in it.
Also, I’m pretty sure I won’t be heard from again for at least a week.
well guys,since tomorrow is going to be the release Pokemon Sun and Moon,we need a special video to dedicate this to Pokemon Sun and Moon!:D anybody got any ideas?
I’M SO HYPED THAT I CAN’T STAY AWAY FROM THE POKE FAM!!!!
Avatar changed for the new series!!!
It was hard so HARD staying away from the spoilers, but I did it.
Does anyone know where Brazil falls in terms of the eshop release? The software says the release date has passed but when I launch it, it says I have to wait for it to be released 🙁
What time is it right now? There is a timer at the end of this post, that’s how much time’s left to the game’s release.
It’s half past midnight here so I thought it might be available since it’d fit what the software says but I guess I’ll just go to bed and check it after work tomorrow. Thanks anyway tho
No problem man, it’s just the timezones though, the game’s releases in a little over 2 hrs.
So why on the 3ds is it telling me that the time has passed launch the game to play then when I go to play it tells me to wait till the game releases?
Hi everyone! So I launched Moon, but it freezes on a black screen. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
If you have an old 3DS, just wait a while the black screen will go away on its on.
