Pokémon Sun and Moon demo coming on October 18

We’ll get a taste of the new generation of Pokémon earlier than we thought.

The Pokémon Company announced today that the upcoming Sun and Moon versions of the popular monster-collecting series will get a demo for the Nintendo 3DS on October 18, one month before the games’ November 18 release date. Pokémon games have sold more than 279 million copies worldwide, and a free demo could get even more players on board for the next entries.
