Pokémon Sun and Moon announced in Pokémon Direct: New Pokémon games coming late 2016

The new core series Pokémon games, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, have been officially revealed in a Pokémon Direct.

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. New Pokemon games coming late this year. Seventh generation is here!

Also...these new games are allowing Pokemon from the ORIGINAL Red/Blue/Yellow games (which are coming out on 3DS Virtual Console tomorrow!) to be transferred to Sun and Moon via Pokemon Bank!!! WOOHOO!!! This is awesome!!! Day one purchase for me!!!
 
Leaning towards these being Gen VII, because when they counted the years leading up, they specifically didn't mention FRLG, HGSS, B2W2, or ORAS. Not much to go on, but if they didn't consider B2W2, the sequels/third versions of B/W, worth mentioning... then why would they specifically seperate Sun and Moon?

Have these games been confirmed as being part of Gen VII?

Not explicitly... but the post above you does give a very good reason why its a new Gen... Plus they mentioned "new series" I think.

From what I understand, the generations are actually fan terms (Source: Bulbapedia)
 
:D :D :D

All aboard the hype train!

(unfortunately, I can't find a GIF of Anger from "Inside Out" going "Toot toot!". Stop being lazy, people. >_>)
 
I feel kinda let down from this announcement. While I am looking forward to Gen 7 and I am disappointed in there being no Pokemon Z and Gen 6 ending, I am actually a lot more disappointed from the fact that we were given barely anything from this announcement other than what the games were called. I mean, when Gen 6 was first announced, the announcement gave us that generation's starters, it's legendaries, and actual gameplay footage, which at least gave us an impression of what the game was going to be like and justified the hype. Here we have... virtually nothing except the names of the games and some vague concept art. Right now, we only have Magearna to work with, so it's like when Gen 4 was first announced in which we had nothing but Munchlax and Lucario to work with.

All we can do is wait for more information, it will be a half a month before the next CoroCoro leaks, so there might hopefully be some information then.
 
This is great news in my opinion! I'm just excited for a new core series game whether they be gen 6 or 7.

I think you are disappointing a bit too early.

As there was no information other than the title itself, it is not yet 100% definite that the story is not connected to XY. It can be something like story of GSC, although it is set in a different region, but story is heavily dependent on RGB past.

I don't know why, as I was always being a pessimist, where very strangely for this time I'm kind of optimistic for this upcoming new title.
 
Was really hoping for Sun and Moon to be something along the lines of a Gen 6.5 kind of thing, and if Kalos is no more, I guess it is no more. A real shame, at it was a region is so much potential that they could have taken what was bleh with X and Y and made them so much better a new game.

At the same time, I cannot feel sad as, hey, new games that are not remakes! That makes me a pleased kitten. =)
