The seventh generation (Japanese: 第七世代 seventh generation) of Pokémon games is the seventh installment of the Pokémon video game series starting with Pokémon Sun and Moon. Like Generation VI, the games of the seventh generation so far will be presented on the Nintendo 3DS.

History

The seventh generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of Pokémon Sun and Moon on February 27, 2016, the Pokémon 20th Anniversary. These games are scheduled to be released worldwide on November 18, 2016, except in Europe where they will be released on November 23, 2016.

The Generation VII games are not isolated from previous iterations and can communicate with both the Generation VI games and the Generation I Virtual Console re-releases through an online application known as Pokémon Bank. Through Pokémon Bank, Poké Transporter, Poké Transfer, and Pal Park, Pokémon all the way from Generation III can be transferred to Generation VII.

Advances in gameplay

  • The addition of 88 currently known Pokémon, bringing the currently known total to 1025.
  • The addition of at least 103 new moves.
  • The addition of at least 42 new Abilities.
  • The addition of the Rotom Pokédex, a special Pokédex inhabited by a Rotom that doubles as a real-time map on the bottom screen of the Nintendo 3DS.
  • The 3D models used for characters on the overworld are refined, and Trainers can be seen behind their Pokémon during battle, similar to Pokémon Colosseum, XD: Gale of Darkness, and Battle Revolution.
  • A new region to explore, the Alola region, based on Hawaii.
  • The player can move freely in any direction, as opposed to the eight-directional grid of the previous generation.
  • A new battle mode, Battle Royal, where four players enter into a free-for-all battle. The battle ends when all of one player's Pokémon faint, with the winner being the player who has the highest combined number of knockouts and number of remaining Pokémon.
  • The addition of a QR code scanner, which allows players to register Pokémon in their Pokédex and receive event Pokémon.
