Stateside, we got a trailer that briefly showed off the fire, water and grass-types that trainers will have to choose from on Nov. Five more Pokémon have joined the series' cast of 722, thanks to this morning's reveal of Pokémon Sun and Moon's starters and, more mysteriously, the legendaries on the boxes' covers.
