In the meantime, Nintendo 3DS owners can grab the five free Mega Stones while they're still available. Right now Nintendo is battling with supply constraints for the system, but once those ease up in July and August, it should be interesting to see how well the console is adopted amongst gamers.

Nintendo is also planning to have Game Freak release a full fledged Pokemon RPG experience scheduled to release at some point in 2018 or beyond for the Nintendo Switch, which could be a huge boon for the system as it would attract a whole bunch of mobile gamers to the Switch. Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon ended up being some of the best-selling games in the series, adding renewed vigor in the series thanks in part due to some new features that Game Freak included in the title, along with the fact that Pokemon Go had become a global phenomenon, increasing the overall brand value and mindshare of the game. It's mentioned on the site that while Mega Stones can't be acquired in Pokemon Sun and Moon through the standard methods, it is possible to port over Mega Pokemon from previous games if you've already acquired them during your playthrough. You'll then be able to utilize the Mega Evolutions and have some grand fantastic beasts at your disposal during your battles.

Once the stones are in your inventory it's advised to save your game so you don't lose them haphazardly.
