8 Things We Learned From The New Pokémon Sun/Moon Trailer

7. The Return Of Pokémon-Amie

Pokemon Sun Moon Feature
Nintendo

For all those trainers who loved their Pokémon just a bit too much, but never had the facility to express their, erm, 'special' brand of affection, Pokémon X and Y's Pokémon-Amie was a dream come true.

The feature allowed devoted players to strengthen the bond between themselves and their 'mon, by tenderly rubbing them in a totally not-weird manner. Basically, how relationships work in reality.

And now it's back! What we saw in the new Sun and Moon trailer was much less sexy than X and Y's hot-massage action, featuring a Pikachu being subject to a coiffure from a Porygon-themed hairdryer. It seemed to enjoy it, anyway.

X and Y allowed trainers to rub their Pokémon. Now they can blow them. Rated E, for everybody.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
