https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKosBJ1Uko0

As announced previously today a new Pokémon Sun/Moon has been shown and it features 4 brand new pokémon aswell as new game modes and details on Pokémon announced previously:

Wimpod is a Bug/Water type Pokémon with the ability Wimp Out which lets it escape from battle/be switched if it goes under 50% of it's health;

Bounsweet is a Grass type Pokémon with either the Leaf Guard or the Oblivious ability;

Comfey is a Fairy type Pokémon with either the Flower Veil ability or Triage, a new ability that gives healing moves the maximum priority in battle;

Mudsdale is a Ground type Pokémon with either the Own Tempo ability or Stamina, a brand new ability that gives it a Defense boost every time it gets hit by an attack.

Mimikyu's ability Disguise makes it possible for him to get hit one time without getting any damage, just like if it had a substitute !

Bewear's new ability Fluffy let's it get half the damage from contact moves, but makes it weak against Fire types !

Hyper Training is a new feature that lets you improve your Pokémon's Ivs as long as they've reached level 100 AND you've coolected enought caps in the Alola region, Magearna is going to be distributed holding a Silver Cap.

You will be able to host Private Tournaments in Pokémon Sun/Moon via the Pokémon Global Link, you'll have a range of settings to customize your tournament to your linking; it was also announced that the Pokémon Global Link funcitionalities for Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Saphire will come to an end in favor of an update that will make the website compatible with Pokémon Sun/Moon .

Oh no, I clicked on this excited for it to be Pokemon Go news. But it is just Sun/Moon :(

Damn, almost every new Pokemon comes with a new ability so far. Also, hosting your own competitions is going to be fabulous!

 

Also glad that you can now see your Pokemon's EVs without needing a Reset Bag. My biggest wish of all right now though is to get rid of the need for move reminders and heart scales, and to allow you to change around your Pokemon's current moveset at any time outside of battle.

I don't think it was clickbaity at all. You did say new Pokemon, not old ones added to an existing game. :)



Only liked Mimikyu

Oh I definitely should have.  Problem is my one-track mind is currently on Pokemon Go.  Thus, all things Pokemon = Go at the moment.  It will pass when the novelty wears off.

New Features

 

Hyper Training

—Hyper Training Maximizes a Pokemon’s Power

In Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, you can draw forth a Pokemon’s power to its utmost limit with Hyper Training.

Pokemon grow stronger by raising their levels and increasing their base stats. However, their power is still affected by the individual strengths innate to each Pokemon. Now, with Hyper Training, Pokemon that have grown to Lv. 100 will be able to increase their individual strengths, which has never been possible before.

With Hyper Training, you can increase the strength of the Lv. 100 Pokemon you’ve been adventuring with!

This means you don't have to breed for perfect IVs anymore. You can take your starter Pokemon that you get at the beginning of the game and make it competitive now... it's happening...

With the release of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, the Pokemon Global Link—the website that connects Pokemon players around the world—will end its current Pokemon Omega Ruby, Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, Pokemon X, and Pokemon Y service and will be updated to work with Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. New functions added in the update will let you enjoy Pokemon battles even more! For more information about the PGL update and the new features, check out the Pokemon Global Link (www.pokemon-gl.com).

I'm updating the OP, I don't like to copy-paste the descriptions made by other people, the video is pretty much self explanatory so I thought to post it to deliver the news as soon as possible while in the meantime writing everything else, I'll add the pictures to the OP (maybe in a smaller size) !
