Transfer Pokémon From Classic Titles To The Upcoming Sun And Moon Games
During today's Pokémon Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that players will be able to bring classic Pokémon from the original 151 into more recent games, including the upcoming Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. This is the first time Pokémon captured in Red, Blue, and Yellow will make it to other titles.
Pokémon Sun and Moon have been announced for a Holiday 2016 release, but players will also be able to transfer Pokémon they acquire in the classic Red/Blue/Yellow rereleases (Out February 27th) to the upcoming games via the Pokémon Bank.
Players will be able to ship Pokémon from the classic trio to the newly announced titles.
Our Take
It's super cool that we'll be able to take some of our classic Pokémon out for a spin in the new titles. This is an added incentive to revisit the original games.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
