Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Burruni]

I mean...
Aside from the title drops that we knew of yesterday.
That was a little underwhelming.
"Sun & Moon exist."
"VC Gen 1 can trade to Pokebank."

Edit:

Solrock and lunatone in one of the double battles


that's hillarious

Totally not the Tate & Liza gym...

 

[Zzuxon]

Is irt possible to embed streams?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Lol, that was so worth losing some sleep...

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Looks like Z is getting skipped. No wonder they announced those other formes along with the Ash-Greninja.

 

[Radical Bones]

Okay well that was a little underwhelming but... GEN 7!

If it hadn't have leaked it'd be awesome.

Now to look at the screens that quickly flashed at the end... I think I saw a car...?

 

[SuperMii3D]

HYPE

That incognito.

This was some hot garbage, that video/trailer was lots of filler. No actual substance.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Well that was. . .something.

Leak told us just about everyhing

 

[FalKoopa]

Well, I was hoping for gameplay footage.

Takeaways from the Direct

• Pokémon Sun and Moon are coming in Holiday 2016
• Chinese is now a language option.
• You can transfer Pokémon from the e-Shop releases.

That's it.

That was quite underwhelming, to be honest.

 

[Opossum]

Honestly, getting a release timeframe was more than I expected, taking into account the ORAS announcement.

Also the Pokemon Bank thing got me hyped.

 

[Soul.]

I dunno what were people expecting with such length on the stream.

Cool that you can transfer VC Pokémon to Bank and then Sun and Moon.

 

[Curious Villager]

Well I guess I can't really blame them since we weren't supposed to know that Pokemon Sun and Moon where a thing but oh well. Nice to know we can transfer the Pokemon from the virtual console versions of Red, Blue and Yellow to the next games though. ^^;

 

[Burruni]

So....

Water Gym?

Edit: Upload file didn't work

 

[Coricus]

Well, that was a tease.

There were still a couple of images worth analyzing to death in those split second moments, though, so let me see if I can remember how to screenshot. . .

Still, good for all those people who were salty they couldn't transfer their Gen 1 Pokémon. Hopefully they'll be happier now.

 

[DraconicPsycho]

...I woke up 3 hours worthy for this? Im kinda mad

 

[BluePikmin11]

So nothing new, it's literally concepts and the reveal of a new Generation. This should have not been leaked.
I do like the transfer of the VC releases to the Pokemon Bank though, ok direct.

 

[Deleted member]

This was just as bad as the "wow, it's ****ing nothing" ORAS stream
We didn't even get footage
And I watched it mute, so is this really Gen 7 or not?

 

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

I still thought it was pretty entertaining. Though once again it got ruined because of leaked information. At least its confirmed though it was suppose to have been somewhat of a surprise.

Literally Nothing.

 

[Zzuxon]

Hey, if the stream is done, can someone embed it?
I'm at school right now.

 

[Burruni]

And I watched it mute, so is this really Gen 7 or not?

Yes.
Because the play up went
Red & Green
Gold & Silver
Ruby & Sapphire
Diamond & Pearl
Black & White
X & Y
Sun & Moon

 

[Radical Bones]

Just looked at the quick flash images...

All it tells me is that vehicles will play some part in the game.

And that Horsea is a fountain.

Oh well. Still cool. They could've given us just one new 'mon though.

I guess that's what Corocoro leaks are for.

 

[Opossum]

So....

Water Gym?

Edit: Upload file didn't work

Chinchou, Staryu, Horsea, and Spheal confirmed for Sun/Moon regional Dex?

 

[Champ Gold]

Wow. That was just nothing.
Oh well

Don't expect jack for information until E3

 

[Radical Bones]

Lol also I just realised Gen 7 is called Pokemon S&M.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

The game comes out in less than a year, why couldn't they show gameplay for it?

 

[Pazzo.]

Ladies and Gentlemen, time to pick sides officially.

Team Solaire, or Team Majora?

 

[FalKoopa]

I still thought it was pretty entertaining. Though once again it got ruined because of leaked information. At least its confirmed though it was suppose to have been somewhat of a surprise.

It's kind of hard for me to get excited when we have zero info in the games themselves. To play the waiting game for an actual trailer, I guess.

 

[Aetheri]

That moment when a leak reveals everything worth mentioning in a Direct...

Pretty cool RBY are PokeBank compatible tho...

No new Pokken fighter which has me believe that the 16 fighters are all we are getting barring DLC...

I took the liberty of getting every screenshot for the announcement

 

[Coricus]

Guys.

Aside from the Water Gym that was already posted, I found the regional bird.

Someone's probably gonna post it first, but hold on, let me crop and upload my screenshot.

*EDIT* Or I could just steal from A Distant Demon 's stash.

 

[Burruni]

Chinchou, Staryu, Horsea, and Spheal confirmed for Sun/Moon regional Dex?

Do we have examples of prior gens having a Pokemon "set piece" for a Pokemon not in the regional dex?
I can't come up with any examples.

Lol also I just realised Gen 7 is called Pokemon S&M.

Better than shortening it as
"P:M&S"

Ladies and Gentlemen, time to pick sides officially.

Team Solaire, or Team Majora?

Moonblast.

IDK about you all but I was praying they'd announce the originals would work for Pokemon Bank. Skull Bash Pikachu & Teleport Mewtwo! INB4 glitch obtained Mews flood the GTS.

Would guess this means GSC will also be re-released at some point. Regardless I'm definitely going to pick up these re-releases as a result of this news, and I already own Red/Green/Yellow. Finally every Gen could be interconnected, considering it's taking data from a system from the 80s and moving it to a modern system this is mindblowing as far as I can tell.


No real news about Sun/Moon sucks though, was hoping they'd announce something or at least mention Magenarna. I know Ken Sugimori creates the Starters/Legendaries well ahead of time, so I'm shocked that for a 2016 release they didn't give us something.

Wait. when was this?

I think that's the wireframe of what's likely our regional bird.

Looks like either a woodpecker or a kingfisher. Either way I'll love it since I always use the regional bird and I love woodpeckers and kingfishers.

 

[Burruni]

Wait. when was this?

They had a small montage just before the logo drop of gen 7.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Wait. when was this?

Those milisecond images were all JUST now
I just took the time to screenshot them and edit some junk out

 

[FalKoopa]

Wait. when was this?

When they were comparing the RG pixel art to the modern 3D, I believe.

 

[Arcanir]

A bit underwhelming I have to admit. A part of that is to blame on the fact that we got the titles earlier then we should've, but I still wish we got some footage or even artwork of the starters/legendaries like what happened with XY.

So....

Water Gym?

Edit: Upload file didn't work

Hm, if that's in-game footage, then it seems that Sun and Moon will be more technologically advanced then XY/ORAS as the models are a bit more (for the lack of a better term) realistic in their proportions.

That along with the timeline only using the initial pair of games implies to me that this game is probably not a third version in any respect, it seems to be its own thing away from XY/ORAS.

 

[Zzuxon]

Has the full stream been uploaded as a video yet?
If so, can someoen embed it?

 

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

Wow. That was just nothing.
Oh well

Don't expect jack for information until E3

Or in CoroCoro for the next few months til then. You can't blame them, this was suppose to have been a surprise reveal to them. So you really can't blame the company for information getting leaked especially if they didn't know it was leaked to the public. Besides we knew a new game was coming, so really its not all that bad, if anything we were just waiting for confirmation of said game.
