Pokémon Sun and Moon
Pokémon Ga-Olé is the name of the latest Pokémon game on Arcade, and it will be launched in July in Japan. The game is played using Pokémon discs, and on those very discs, there’s a QR Code. It turns out that these QR Codes will be compatible with Pokémon Sun and Moon: you will be able to scan them, and add the Pokémon to your Pokédex.
Pokémon Sun and Moon (3DS) will be released on November 18th in Japan and North America, and November 23rd in Europe.

Pokémon Elections
Today, the results of the Pokémon Elections (a special campaign promoting the latest Pokémon Movie, releasing on July 16th in Japan) were announced during a ceremony streamed live on LINE. Here’s the results:
- Greninja
- Arceus
- Mew
- Pikachu
- Sylveon
Fun fact: Simisear was the least popular Pokémon, since it was the one who received the least votes.
Greninja, who won the election, will be distributed in theatres from July 16th, with Pokémon The Movie: Volcanion and the Ingenious Magearna. It will be holding a Master Ball. More details about the Pokémon and the distribution will be revealed in the next issue of CoroCoro magazine, which comes out next week in Japan.
The magazine will also have a contest, allowing fans to win a special New Nintendo 3DS XL model.
