Pokemon Sun and Moon doesn't come out until November, but Nintendo has been pretty consistently dripfeeding the internet more new details and most importantly, new Pokemon. The above trailer features some creatures that "leaked" in a Japanese magazine a while back, plus a never-before-seen debut 'mon. Crabrawler is a pugilist crustacean with a bruised eye, Sandyghast and Polassand are haunted sandcastles and Stufful is a tiny pink bear that resembles a plush animal. You can probably figure out which is which here:
And since there hasn't ever been a time where the internet didn't have a Hot Take on things, there were plenty of varying reactions across multiple different platforms.
