Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon Released! Discuss here!

[Murlough]

Evidence doesn't need to prove something.

"the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid"

Indicating, as in showing as suggestion of

Evidence is suggesting something is true. That's why there can be evidence for issues that swing either way

It's just the facts we have available that show it's leaning in one directions.

It is leaning toward them being related to the starters and unless more evidence comes in to lean another way, there is no reason to dismiss it

Once again, there is no reason to assume something is true with so little evidence. I'm not saying ignore it. I'm just saying you said not to assume something while clearly assuming something based off of the tiniest bit of information that may not even mean anything.

Do you. I just thought you came across as condiscending but there is no convincing someone else on the internet that they are at fault.

I'm not saying it's true, but so many people are just dismissing it as false primarily because they don't want it to be true and because "Serebii said Litten would't be ground/fire type"

It's what I'm going to believe without further evidence though.

"Leaks"

http://deenji.deviantart.com/journal/SUN-MOON-STARTERS-FINAL-STAGE-LEAKED-609320733

Assassin Owl, Nightmare Clown Seal, and DeviantART OC. Unlikely, but I'd be all over Eziowl Auditore!

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

That owl evo reminds me more of something you'd see in a creepy pasta. Like owl slender

and that seal is definitely something you'd see

 

[IsmaR]

Hm... Anybody mind dropping a link to the page where the hidden typing tags were found?

http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/pokemon/partner_01/

Types themselves are this: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/pokemon/images/icon01.png

with the 01 being changed, 03 is Ground while 04 is Fire.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Dear god those are the things of nightmares. Good thing I didn't see them during the night time.

 

[ElectroLightning]

I think a woodpecker Pokemon would be interesting for the Route 1 bird...

 

[Murlough]

That's probably what pokemon was teased in the reveal trailer.

 

[ElectroLightning]

That's probably what pokemon was teased in the reveal trailer.

Are you talking about the peacock looking thing?

 

[Murlough]

Are you talking about the peacock looking thing?

....I have no idea what you are referencing. The bird in the trailer looks like a typical new bird with a big head and small body.

 

[Aetheri]

Are you talking about the peacock looking thing?

I'm not sure what Peacock you're referring to, but there was a woodpecker pokemon that was teased in the original trailer

Spoiler

----

There's also another interesting thing that was revealed recently...There was a short version of the Japanese trailer released...nothing new except for a close-up on Lunaala's head as it performs it's signature move...around 0:27

rather than the moon logo it appears to be a literal third eye appearing...

 

[Deleted member]

Second evolutions look good The owl/grim reaper thing caught me off guard at first but it's growing on me the tiger is cool. weird looking seal thing is meh. They don't really stand out to me but they'll probably grow on me. But I think their just fake. As for the starter typings we'll find out in time.

 

[Z25]

Oh Man! I forgot I started this! Sorry guys, I'll post here more often now!

That drought threw me off!


Anyway game looks fantastic!

As for those leaked starters, I actually like all of them.

grass assassin, Pennywise and black panther would be pretty good.

And Can't wait for the next batch of news on the second!

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Has anyone heard any new pokemon rumors lately. I haven't been looking as much

I figured there would be by now, after the announcement by serebii we're getting new info

 

[Aetheri]

Actually I haven't really heard too much since the news announcement, other than Amazon basically inadvertently confirming what we already figured, that the region will be set on multiple islands....

 

[Z25]

Nothing yet, I'd imagine potential leaks coming july or August.

4chan even hasn't tried anything yet, which is surprising.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

How many days is it til June 2nd anyways?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

How many days is it til June 2nd anyways?

10 days.

It's 1 week from Thursday

 

[Aetheri]

How many days is it til June 2nd anyways?

Not this Thursday but next Thursday...so about 10 days...

'd

 

[L9999]

Good thing I have partial exams and entrance exam the next 8 days. The wait will fly away.

 

[Z25]

Yeah the time will probably fly by till the announcement.

It's 9am EST, and I don't know other time zones off the top of my head. It's 6am PST I believe though.

 

[L9999]

So, we know that Alola is formed by multiple islands, but Alola gives me B2W2+Emerald surfing vibes. Anyone else?

 

[IsmaR]

It could also be like FR/LG Sevii Islands, with you needing to take a ferry (or plane ala B2/W2) to get through otherwise inaccessible currents.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Could someone tell me when does the news air in UK time?

 

[Zerp]

Could someone tell me when does the news air in UK time?

If it's 9AM for EST (is there a source for this?) it's going to be 2 PM for UK, which means 3 PM for me and I believe 4 PM for you.

 

[_Sheik]

What if we get a brand new gameplay mechanic that allows us to travel between the islands without resorting to Surf?

Inb4 the ever-reliable Fairy-type leak guy leaks it soon.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Thanks!

There's the ferrys, but they are not as interesting as Surf exploring, no matter how boring it got in ORAS.

From Serebii:

"The official Japanese Pokémon Twitter has put some further information out about the timing of the announcement on June 2nd. It confirmed that the information will be posted to the official Japanese website at 22:00 JST. That's 13:00 UTC, 14:00 BST, 15:00 CEST, 09:00 EDT, 06:00 PDT and 23:00 AEST. We'll post the news the second that it comes so be sure to keep checking back"


And as I've been calling it, I'm 90% sure helicopter travel will be happening.

It's the main way that people travel across the islands in Hawaii and a main tourist attraction.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I highly doubt they'd give you surf at the beginning of the game, it's one of the best water attacks.

And the first island seems to only have 1 gym.

So, there is definitely going to be SOME form of travel prior

 

[Aetheri]

I'm thinking it's going to be similar to RSE Petalburg/Dewford/Slateport, where you either hitch a ride or take a ferry to each island...then once you acquire surf you can go to an from islands as you please...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm betting the flying mechanic from ORAS is going to return

I actually used it more than FLY, even if FLY was faster.

Because I didn't have to have a pokemon that knew an ability to use it

I would like to see that return in some form. It would make it easier than setting a slot on my team for a Fly-er.

The mechanic, however, does require the Eon Flute to use, but maybe Game Freak can change it a bit so it doesn't necessarily have to be exclusive to the Eon duo.

 

[Z25]

I still think the "it all comes together" statement means that they will be bringing back fans favorite things from past installments.

I feel like they will, because ORAS seemed to implement it sort of like a test trial...only two pokemon were able to use it and for the most part it was pretty optional, especially for post-game legend hunting...

It would be cool if they could implement all flying Megas to be compatible with this mechanic, so you could choose to use Mega Pidgeot, Salamence, Altaria, etc...Perhaps instead of using a special item, you could choose to Fly directly to a destination or just take to the skies and free roam, so long as you have the appropriate pokemon available...

I hope soaring returns it be awesome to have again.

And imagine soaring on mega altaria?

It be a giant fluffy cloud lol.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I personally would like to see some non megas flying with you

Doduo would be entertaining

 

[atreyujames]

I like the idea of soar returning without the Eon Flute, but I wouldn't like it if you were required to have a flying mega to use it. I'm personally not a fan of mega's and ever have one on my team. I liked that the Eon Flute didn't require you to have a Lati in your party, so I would like it to be like that but with an Amity square kind of restriction in that you must have one of several pokemon in your PC to use the Key Item (Soaring Whistle, Bird Call, etc). they could make one of them a gift pokemon so as to make it easier to obtain, but then they could also use logical ones like Drifblim, Dragonite, Golurk (Iron Giant anyone?) etc. that you can choose to have the animation. I know I would wanna us a Drifblim to soar around.
