Hello /vp/, I am an inside tester at Nintendo, and I have some information on Pokemon Sun and Moon that I'd like to share with you all. Please understand and keep in mind that some of these features may be changed in the final release.
To start with,
>1. Easy, Normal, and Hard modes are included
At the beginning of the game, your mother will give you a "Sunglasses Case" and tell you that they can "help you see the world differently". You can't do anything with it until you reach a changing station in a Pokemon Center (Yes, customization has been brought back).
While at the changing station, you can access the case, and there will be two pairs of sunglasses you can wear, each corresponding to a difficulty level. Putting on the Rose glasses makes the game easier, while the Sunflower glasses makes it harder (I thought it was cute that the "rose tinted glasses" make things easier). Unfortunately, this does mean that if you play on Easy or Hard, you are forced to wear sunglasses.
>2. A few old moves now have "HM" qualities
(No, don't worry, you can still delete them). Basically, select moves such as "Dance" moves (Swords Dance, Dragon Dance, etc), "Punch" moves (Mega Punch, Thunder Punch, etc) and others can be used in the field now.
For example, I saw an old looking pedestal in one of the jungle areas. I was able to use Dragon Dance and it opened up a cave where several evolutionary stones could be found. I found the same thing in a different area, but for Petal Dance instead. Nothing happened, but a message popped up that said "...the Ruins and Find Peace", so I'm assuming it's a multi-part code.
I also came across a huge stone structure in the ruins area. When I used Boomburst, it cracked, and a fossilized pokemon fell out. I'm thinking this means that you can actually get both fossils in one game this time around.
