Nintendo has officially announced during the February 26 Pokémon Direct that the next games in the Pokémon series will be titled Pokémon Sun and Moon. The new games will launch in holiday 2016 worldwide for Nintendo 3DS.

Nintendo also announced that the game will be available in 9 languages, including all of the languages available for Pokémon X and Y as well as Simplified and Traditional Chinese. There’s not much else that we know about Pokémon Sun and Moon other than that and the release window.

The full trailer, also acting as a retrospective for the entire series, can be seen below:

Nintendo also announced that the digital releases of Pokémon RedBlue and Yellow, launching on February 27, will be compatible with Pokémon Bank. This means that players will be able to transfer their Pokémon from those first-generation games to the upcoming Pokémon Sun and Moon.
