Fans Find Final Starter Evolutions, New Pokémon Hidden In Sun And Moon Demo
The Pokémon Sun and Moon demo that released today has been datamined for a treasure trove of new information. Besides the final forms of the three starters, the rest of the Ultra Beasts and several unannounced Pokémon were found.
If you don't want to be spoiled I suggest closing this article and hiding in a cave until next month.
The videos below confirm the final evolutions leak was indeed true. According to that leak, the final typing for the starters will be Grass/Flying for Rowlet's evolution, Water/Fairy for Poppolio, and Fire/Dark for Litten. Also revealed are new Alolan forms for the Geodude family and an extremely round-faced Persian.This time around it seems the legendaries have pre-evolutions, which is a series first. Besides that you can see models for evolutions of previously announced Pokémon in the first video and shiny colors in the second.
You can check out a list of Pokémon released so far here as well as the latest trailer.

Our Take
The confirmed starter evolutions reinforces my decision to go with Rowlet, though I swear that Litten better not turn into a Fire/Fighting. Overall the new designs are spectacular as they're varied but not terribly silly.The demo already makes a strong case for buying the game and this leak solidifies it for me.
