New Pokémon Sun/Moon trailer shows Meowth and Team Skull

The new Team Evil and the new pokémons (or new forms) can now be seen in motion.

This is the new Japanese trailer for Pokémon Sun/Moon, which should be made available for Western audiences before the week's end:

The video lists a bunch of new details teased in Japanese printed magazines a couple of days ago, this time in motion.

Above all, the clip presents the new Team Evil of, ehm, evil trainers, known as the Team Skull. They come equipped with all sorts of skull and bad guy stylings inspired by pirates and rockers (?), and with its own 'hard' music (relative to the series that is).

You can also see in action the new form of Meowth, a design that has caused a lot of discussion on social this week, with some fans digging it and some hating on it.

Fans of the series can also play the trailer to see that some pokémons such as Pikachu have not changed at all in the Alola region, whereas others have done so radically (such as the aforementioned Meowth or that über-cute Raichu).
