New Sun & Moon Features: Festival Plaza, Pok? Pelago, and Pok?mon Global Link



Festival Plaza, Pok? Pelago and a new Pok?mon Global Link ? Pok?mon Sun & Moon are sure getting some exciting new features!

Check it out here!

Damn so many features!

These look like really good ideas and Pok? Pelago will be a fun little thing to do with our Pokemon in the PC. Festival Plaza looks great too and I'm glad Game Freak are adding more little minigame sorta things into the games, it keeps everything fun and fresh.

Looks like most clothing will be white and then we can dye them with berries or something else.

This was unexpected yet it all looks really cool! It should give us something to do other than the main storyline. 8)

Something interesting to worth noting is that one of the shrouded islands in the distance seems to be where Pok? Pelago is located.

Of all these features, I'm the most interested in Pok? Pelago, as it finally allows us to do fun things with the Pokemon in our PC!

 

[Hikamaru]

I am excited for Poke Pelago, since it does add new life into those Pokemon that we leave in the PC. The new Global Link page looks very nice as well!

Am I the only one that feels that Festival Plaza gives off Wi-fi Plaza vibes from Gen IV?

Another crafty move indeed, Ohmori.

No you aren't. When I first saw it, I immediately thought back to Gen 4's lobby thing. I just hope it is more active.

That is an interesting throwback you pointed out there. The fact you encounter other players in-universe while connected is also a homage to 5th Gen's Entralink.

You can now rent teams from other people to use in battle.

 

[Esper]

There's so much going on here I can't even make sense of it all. It feels like this is a catch-all feature for everything that's not the main game.

Exactly what I thought. And then it occurred to me that it's similar to the Join Avenue in BW2 which I didn't play around much with. This just seems like what they were building up to with all those features, the perfect combination of the Wifi Plaza, Join Avenue and PSS.

I love all these new features! Festival Plaza looks amazing ^^ It's great to see we can have more interaction with other players. I'm loving the mission feature! Can't wait to complete some =D
Pok? Pelago is such a nice feature, omg. I've always thought why our Pok?mon needed to be in the PC. It looks like we are keeping them as prisioners. Now, with this new feature, at least they have something to do, such as encountering new Pok?mon, finding items and even training! What I'm curious about is if there's going to be only 3 islands, because the official art that appeared in the trailer showed us what looks like to be 5 islands, not only 3. We'll see!

Yeah I agree! I feel less bad about leaving my Pok?mon gathering dust sitting in the PC now. I really like the passers-by feature - it makes the PC feel a lot more dynamic and less like a literal computer, and it's also pretty cool that random Pok?mon can join your team. I wonder how it will be determined what Pok?mon will be passers-by - whether they'll be Pok?mon naturally found in the wild in Alola, or whether you might be able to meet other Pok?mon too. I'm guessing the former but.

 

[Altairis]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there's going to be just about as many islands as there are PC boxes. :x

30 islands?! I can't even think of 30 features for the Poke Pelago...

 

[MarinoKadame]

This seems like an upgraded part of XY where you could make some room for your Pokemon with pillows, etc. And you could receive items from other players as a gift.
