Pokémon Sun & Moon - Nintendo Treehouse Live
Today is the first day of Nintendo Treehouse Live @ E3 2016 and starting it off is coverage of Pokémon Sun & Moon following a trailer for Zelda. This is to include the first live gameplay and will feature Junichi Masuda. This post will be updated with every new tidbit as we go and you can watch the stream here as standard.

17:26: You can now see how a stat has been altered via moves in battle
17:26: Ledyba is #020 in the Alola Region Pokédex and will show you the evolution chain or if it forms a pair

17:44: A new Battle mode called Battle Royale where four players play with 3 Pokémon, each sending out one at a time. It's a Free-For-All battle but when the first trainer loses all their Pokémon, the game ends and players are tallied up by defeated Pokémon and remaining Pokémon and that determines the winner.
Edit @ 17:55: Our New Pokémon Page has been updated with the two new Pokémon. A new trailer has also been added
Edit @ 17:56: A new Pokémon has been revealed called Grubbin. It is a Bug-type and its ability is Swarm

It also noted the change in the appearance of Solgaleo and Lunala while they do their signature moves as being called Radiant Sun phase & Full Moon phase
