FAKE: Pokémon “Stars” Leaks (UPDATE)

FAKE ALERT: The information contained in this post has now been debunked!

It’s that time again folks! A Pokémon Direct has just been announced for tomorrow and Pokémon fans are frantically speculating over what the 8 minute broadcast will announce. Meanwhile, some users online have begun posting information claiming to have insider knowledge on the upcoming game.

One user on 4chan posted the following information regarding the game:

  • The games will be available for both 3DS and Switch and the two versions can communicate with each other
  • The above image shows Gladion in his new outfit
  • Alola will be the setting for the game and Kanto will not make an appearance
  • Characters from Sun & Moon will appear and have grown up since we last saw them
  • Gladion now runs the Aether Paradise
  • Gyms are now present in Alola, with Trials no longer existing
  • No new Pokémon or Mega Evolutions
  • Necrozma receives a new form
  • New exclusive Z-Moves
  • Plot of the game is heavily focused on past events and will feature many cutscenes
  • The game will explain how Necrozma fell into our world
  • Characters are called Kaosu and Hoshi

CONFIRMED FAKE: In addition to the above supposed “leaked” concept art was also posted online, show a number of reference poses for Gladion in his new getup. It has been confirmed the the screenshot and concept art are both an creations, consequently meaning the leaked information is also false. Art done by Italian artist Emdy.

As always with rumors and “leaks” we urge our readers to take this information cautiously. We do not claim it to be real and have chosen to post it for discussion purposes. We believe these images and information are 100% false. That said, how would our readers feel if this did turn out to be true? Is it something you like to see in a Sun & Moon follow-up game?

  1. First

    Man I really missed these rumor articles 😛
    And I kinda wish this is true but just because Gladion looks cute in this Outfit.

    And I have to admit that if this is fake then is a really well made fake :0

    Reply
    • It may very well be fake, but it certainly does not LOOK fake provided that the art style is similar to other concept art by GF.

      Reply
  2. A little iffy on this one. The concept art for an older Gladion looks somewhat legit. Yet, the screenshot leaves a lot to be desired. I guess I’ll just wait for Thursday!

  3. I buy the concept art. The gameplay photo tho, nah. Highly doubt they’ll simply upscale 3DS assets for the Switch version.

    Reply
    • The thing is though that a switch version would just be that. An upscaled version. Their simply hasn’t been enough time, nor the staff, to make something truly new for the switch. GF hasn’t really hid either of these points.

      But even then I don’t buy the concept art. Its well made, but it does look fake.

      • “Their simply hasn’t been enough time, not the staff, to.make something truly new for the Switch.” Do you know how large GameFreak is at this point? According to the rumour from EuroGamer, they were developing Stars along side Sun/Moon. It’s going to have better textures and higher quality assets for the Switch due to the massive increase in power compared to the 3DS. A port would be how Monster Hunter XX looks on the Switch. I fully support the EuroGamer rumour as they have gotten a lot right about the Switch.

        Reply
        • Yes according to the RUMOR from Eurogamer its been in development along side it. That would make sense if it were purely a 3DS game. That said better textures and quality assets don’t really mean much. It’ll look better then the 3DS version, but not by that much. Just better looking versions of the same models, not brand new models that would take advantage of the newer hardware. What we do know for certain though is that GF’s has been hiring on new staff who are familiar with working on the Wii U and Vita a few months back(hence why I said the lack of staff).

          And even then that’s ignoring pretty much every other aspect that releasing a game on the switch isn’t in their best interest right now. While its demand is sky high, Nintendo can’t meet demands right now, meaning that any main series pokemon game right now would undersell compared to previous ones simply because their aren’t enough consoles out their yet. Give it a year or and it would be a safer investment for them. As well that also leads to the pricing issue, given that likely trying to make a game with improved assets(which again I don’t think they would have enough time to do, and that also assumes that they were given detailed knowledge about the Switch to develop around it) would likely mean that the game would be given a console games price, making it more expensive then the 3DS version as is rumored here, and in turn that can also hurt sales since better visuals really isn’t going to be enough for most people to justify if the content is virtually the same. Heck it could very likely bring up the problem that the game was intended to be played as a handheld game(and paced as such), leading to people complaining that its too short, or certain parts feel rushed because once on the switch the game has to be judged as a home console game.

          But we’ll see tomorrow. I truly don’t think it to be real, and as we’ve scene plenty of times before rumors from trusted resources do get things wrong.

          • The game is supposed to release in the Fall. Nintendo has requested more Switches for the period of time (Fall between Winter) to support the sales of the rumoured Pokemon Stars and Super Mario Odyssey. No matter when the game releases, demand for Switch consoles would just increase! It would seriously help the system late 2017 to early/mid 2018. It’s going to continue to sell well as Nintendo produces more Switch consoles. Just look at Sun and Moon continuing to sell well on the 3DS to this day.

            Anyways, if the game ended up costing $60 dollars, why does it matter? I believe Monster Hunter XX is going to be around $55 to $60 in yen. They could just make the game cost $50 depending on the return they need for development. Also, they could just be hiring staffers for different projects or new Pokemon titles. GameFreak isn’t small and have more than enough resources to develop a game in time. Look at how quickly X/Y and OR/AS came out. That should be enough of an example.

          • My problem with releasing both is that it ultimately cannibalizes the sales of both Super Mario Odyssey and Pokemon in that case. You can’t assume that people are going to be willing to buy both. One can’t assume that people are going to be willing too be able to buy both, and as such it seems like an unneeded risk for Nintendo who are known for careful calculation with their releases. And even then the initial release rumors of Stars had it slatted for a late summer release and then pushed back to Fall, which did hurt it’s reliability.

            The issue with cost though is one of value. To justify that console price point you need to make sure their’s enough content in it to make people feel its worth their money, especially if you have a 3DS release along side it. With Monster Hunter(ignoring that the game sells inconceivably well in Japan) it’s safe to assume that it’ll be getting new content and that its not the same base game with slightly better graphics and nothing else. It’ll have new hunts, or a new feature or something to make it worth picking up for people. Pokemon on the other hand doesn’t really have an easy time with that. You really can’t add in features since people will immediately feel that your selling them an inferior game or locking away new content behind a near $400 pay wall for people. At the same time they could try the smash 4 route of each version having unique features, but the problem then is that if one version’s features are clearly better then the other’s then people will complain that they bought the interior version. Really I don’t see a good way that they could support both consoles with a release, and at the same time I can’t see them only wanting to support the Switch since it has such a small market share right now and it would be incredibly stupid to ignore the market share of the 3DS.

            And your right. Game freak isn’t small. Its a very large studio with hundreds of employees. But it doesn’t have a ton of experience with console releases. Heck the closest console game we’ve seen from them lately was Giga Wrecker, and it is entirely possible that the new staff is to help out with a port of that on to the switch(as it would likely do well there). But with all that said, all of this debating is kinda pointless really. We’ll find out in less then 24 hours what Pokemon’s next game will be. If its Sinnoh remakes, cool. If its Stars, I’m not personally probably going to pick it up, but cool. If its on the switch I personally think that GF’s shooting themselves in the foot, but good for people that are happy with it. Let’s just agree to welcome things with open arms and hope for the best.

  4. I get they won’t include New Pokemon, but I hope if this is true there’ll be “new” Pokemon in the wild from previous generations that hadn’t been included in Sun/Moon.

    As for the Mega evolutions. Well Dang it!

    Reply
    • New Pokemon in the wild would mean expanding my Apricorn Ball collection even further. But I think Kurt might need to migrate to Alola now.

      Reply
  5. 1. The Aether Paradise should have been featured more (in reference to how they save pokemon and are an artificial habitat for endangered species).
    2. Gladion leading the Aether Paradise is a smart move, narratively speaking.
    3. No new pokemon or mega evolutions would be kind of pointless to me. Why would I drop forty bucks just to get new Z moves (which I dont care about), a new Necrozma form (when I don’t use legendaries) and to mash through a bunch of cutscenes.
    4. Getting rid of the trial system would be a huge step back for this region. I could see them keeping gyms for a diamond and pearl remake, but to get rid of them for Stars? No way.
    5. I get that there weren’t new pokemon in between diamond and pearl and platinum, or black and white and their sequels, but still, I would like to think that with such a low number of pokemon in Sun and Moon, that they could add some more. At least some more alolan forms.
    6. GF has really mixed up the sequel/ third game tradition with Black and White not following suit, X and Y not following Black and White or any pattern, but now that I’m writing this, a third game again would be “unexpected.”

    Let me know what you think! IM SUPER PUMPED REGARDLESS!

    Reply
      • I really wish that the games had focused more on nature. Having one team be evil and all about destruction, poison, etc. that could be contaminating and ruining the natural habitats, and another team that you work with to save pokemon and bring them to the paradise temporarily (like a zoo) would have been really cool.

        Reply
        • Imo they could have done that and still had the twist with Aether. Although it would have made Skull much more sinister and I don’t think that’s what they were all about. They are much more a family of delinquents than greedy destroyers.

          Reply
          • The problem for me really was that Team Skull just kind of dropped off. Guzma went with Lusamine and got freaked out, Plumeria apologized, Gladion was stuffed in. Eh

          • Guzma was also introduced really late and we didn’t get much on what he was about or development for him. Instead of a team leader he seemed like a top level underling for Lusamine.

          • I think Gladion is perhaps a deliberately underdeveloped character so he can have a major role in the next installment. But yeah, I hope the whole Guzma-Lusamine relationship was also deliberate and is somehow part of the plot and mystery of the next game because their relationship was riddled with major plot holes.

  6. I will be at the doctors when the direct airs, I hope I don’t miss too much of the speculation here :/

    I personally don’t really think the screenshot is real. The concept art does follow what we’ve seen before, which also makes it easier to fake. I am OK with a sequel game but to not add anything in the way of Pokemon or Megas when by now its’ somewhat expected feels a bit of a shame. One new form for one Legend and a few new Z-moves doesn’t really cut it for me, but perhaps we’ve been a bit spoiled in recent times.

  9. Ok.. at first I was like .. no way. I’m not falling for this bs again! Also.. no new Pokemon.. they would have completely missed the point simply higher graphics and story. Buut, I’ve noticed this trend of those official looking pieces of art always being real. Sure a scammer could have caught on to this too by now.. but they look Really legit!

  10. I like the artwork. +1
    I like the return of gyms. +5
    I like the compatibility between the Switch and 3ds versions. +1

    I hate that there are no new mega evolutions or new pokemon. -10

    I could not care less about z-moves. + 0

    If real I would rate this news as -3; fairly negative. I hope it is not true.

    At least we won’t have to wait long since the direct is in less than 24hrs, plus any more details revealed during e3 next week.

          • Keep calm, what will be will be, remember either way at least you tried, she knows you care.

          • Yeah she most likely will say yes imo hopefully she’s free tomorrow (don’t know why I just hope so)

            And discovering she’s just moving states I can still try and keep a friendship

  13. Yeah I’m willing to bet this is fake. Sure it could be real, but I’m not feeling it. No real reason. Just not getting a good feeling from this. That in mind I also thought the start final stages were fake at first and look how that turned out. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow lol

      • I actually thought the totems were quite difficult, harder than some recent gym battles.

        I’m hoping that, if this is fake, we get trials and then gyms post game.

        • Ehh then again

          I got the better half of the deal as Wishiwashi wasn’t hard when you have a Poison Touch Grimer and the weaker helper

          • Destroyed me once due to not thinking but it was easier when you have set strategies to counter Fairy type

          • My team fell hard to ghost, and that was the issue. Haunter was too annoying to deal with, and I couldn’t get off a quick toxic because of Disguise.

          • I remember using my Z-Move at the start of the battle, completely forgetting what its ability does lol

          • My brother used Incineroars and just as he did and it failed to hit I said “noooooo I just told you not to!”

          • I beat it with my Salandit before she evolved, after taking out most of the supports with Golisopods’ Sucker Punch.

      • I thought the Totems were great. You could say that the gyms are too easy for some people as well. At the end of the day Pokemon is more or less an easy game. It all depends on what level your Pokemon are at each benchmark. I just hope if we do go back to gyms they upgrade them to match how the trials were handled. I don’t want tie to stop every time we get to a gym. I want the world to feel like stuff i going on while I’m at the gyms. In all previous games the story comes to a screeching halt until you beat whatever gym you’re at. Sure the same can more or less be said about trials, but it didn’t feel that way in SM. they made sure to have events happen while you are doing the trials so that it doesn’t feel like nothing is happening just because you didn’t witness it first hand.

        • I loved Totems but I like Gyms and mabey totems as side quests (my fan game if I can make z crystals will have Side totems in alot of places

          Reply
          • It also means we could have more challenging gyms with trainers having more Pokemon as you would have had the chance to get stronger before them. Then the Grand Trials can have something of a gym trail where you fight some of the Kahunas’ apprentices before fighting them.

          • I just want them top make gyms feel more interesting. the general idea is fine, but their insignificance to the over all story really irks me. The real reason for gyms is to make sure you’re the correct level for the next event……Have the gyms and their leaders do more outside of just being in a building and you could have a decent ting going

          • Like in my game they all have jobs and events (Like the first and third can be rebattled certain nights in the first town on stage)

          • Like how in your very first trial Team Skull shows up and messes with you even while you are doing the trial or(while it wasn’t a trial) when you’re on Ula’ula and you go after Team Skull and when you get back to your friends you find out Lillie has been taken. having stuff happen around the region that deviates from the norm of having all time stop while you do the gyms/whatever makes for a more robust story and helps build characters

        • I think it will be a tribute to her mother, showing the healing process between them. She would get it as a Cleffa and it would help her feel closer to her Mum whilst in Kanto. Also her Pokedoll she gives you is a Clefairy so she must like them still.

          Reply
          • Or it could be a symbol of her moving on from her mother’s influence. It’s clear that Lusamine controlled every aspect of her life, up to the way she dressed.

            I know I’m looking into it a bit too much, but I definitely get where you’re coming from.

    • I think Lillie will be the 4th professor in Sun and Moon (so that there are 1 per island); likely as the Professor that greets us at the beginning. She has worked closely with Kukui and Burnett who are really Lillie’s only parental figures.

  14. 3rd point may be a typo
    Anyway, I do not like this. For reason this rubs me the wrong way. Pokemon has been doing something different for so long, now back to 3rd version with just form change? I do NOT like this at all

    Reply
  15. I legit just finished Pokemon Sun two nights ago (now to do postgame) which I know is really late but college is crazy. Anyways, as we all know, the end of Sun and Moon had a lot of cut scenes. In fact, I think there were quite a few throughout the entire game. That’s the main reason I’m not looking forward to Stars if these leaks are true.

    Reply
  16. So now with a direct inbound, what are you guys looking forward for the next games being?
    – Diamond/Pearl remakes
    – Stars (or Necrozma’s game)
    – Kanto remake
    – Something else

    Reply
  17. What do you think of the possibility of a Co-op Mode anyone? I’d love to be able to join up with others to complete story and sidequest events with others, or better yet, be able to play-through the game with some of my friends as my rivals/companions. Even though the pokemon series offers lots of competitive opportunities for player interactions, the pokemon world itself has felt more solitary as a player, and obviously we are not all into the competitive scene. So something where there was interactions among players within the story would be more on brand with Nintendo’s casual/multiplayer roots and make the game experience wildly more interesting.

    Reply
  18. Hourly reminder: Stars is a codename, so for all we know, we could get DP remakes and it could still be “Project Stars”

    Reply
  19. One more thing on the whole bringing back gyms thing: I really want them to have more cultural significance. When doing the trials it really felt like you were doing them for a reason. In recent games the gyms just felt like you were going through the motions. Have people talk about how interactive the gym leaders are in the world. Have them be more than just a wall to get through.

    Reply
    • Here’s a thought: what if they got rid of the type themed gyms? For example, what if they had pokemon strong in a certain stat? Or pokemon from that area? I liked how fresh the trials were, and I don’t want them to go back.

    DEF: 131 (+30)
    SP ATK: 167 (+40)
    SP DEF: 89 (+0)
    SPD: 109 (+ 30)
    Total: 710

    Probably not going to look like this stat spread, but I tried

  22. What’s your Alolan Form wishlist for Stars (if there will be alolan forms) ?
    My list:
    Koffing and weezing (Fairy)

    Drowzee and Hypno (Ghost/Grass)
    Machamp line (Fighting/Steel or Fighting/Dragon)
    Psyduck and Golduck (Ice/Psychic)
    Dragonite (Dragon/Fairy)
    Arcanine (pure Dragon)
    Ekans and Arbok (pure Ghost)

    • I wouldn’t say never, but GF needs to develop the new mechanics they have before adding new ones. I’m beginning to think that a new “special power” will happen every gen.

      Reply
      • Im worried about that too. Personally, Im okay with them adding new things, because megas and z powers are well done imo (needs some polishing but overall are pretty balanced). HOWEVER, they’ve added mechanics (special/physical, weather, etc.) and then kept them in. Which they should have done with megas.

        Reply
          • If the trend continues, excitement surrounding each one will be less and less, because people will know that there’s no chance of more. Honestly, with megas being in ORAS as well as X and Y gives me hope.

          • Z-moves are okay and all, but they don’t have the “cool effect” that mega evolutions have, at least to me.

  26. I wouldn’t be surprised if Stars is a thing. After all, it’s been rumored for so long. But as for this concept art and screenshot and information, I have my second thoughts. Especially considering that this couldn’t of come at a better time. Then again, I’m not ruling anything out.

          • I can imagine a tiny Mosquito pre-evo for Buzzwole that looks really spindly and weak. Others I’m struggling to imagine anything for right now. Then again Solgaleo and Lunaala aren’t much like Cosmog or Cosmoem at all.

  36. On the bright side if this leak is fake we’re possibly getting a Pokémon game anyway because every Pokémon direct has revealed a new game or more details on a new game

    Reply
      • Not really. Remember when the Alola starter final evolutions leaked in concept art in this exact style WAY in advance and everyone thought they were fake? They were in this exact same style. Same with when Lilly and Mallow leaked in their anime concept art. It is actually very difficult to fake designs that quality.

        Reply
        • This is actually why it is easier to fake them. Because the style is so similar with those concept arts it is easier to copy it and produce a fake. People do it with Sugimori style all the time.

          Reply
          • They do them all the time. if anything this is far easier to fake than corocoro scans etc due to the more simplistic nature of concept art. But hey, this could be real, I’m not against it.

          • This is what seperates creators from appreciators of art. The linework, the shading, the original elements. No corocoro fake has ever been this believable. Corocoro leaks may look more complicated because of all the japanese words and crazy backgrounds – but they arent actually. If the above is fake, I salute them, its freakishly well-made.

          • There was this fake ages ago that was realistic enough serebii actually posted it, I’ll try and find it

          • oh wow – no. those were terribly bad. You could see it in the inconsistent shadowing and line work

          • What about the faked starters before the three we know were revealed?
            Goat, bear, and lizard ring a bell?

          • The lizard from that fake was actually very convincing. If it was just him, I might have believed it. What ruined it was the trainers that also “leaked” along with them that just looked terrible, and the bear wasn’t great either. Also, when you look at the three of them together they look A LOT more like Neopets than Pokemon. This SuMo leak above is perfectly on style.

    • I’m about 50/50 about it. Like what you said, the concept art is legit, but the one with “in-game footage” is prob fake because its the same position used for a Grunt in the opening sequence of Sun and Moon.

          • But see that was so cool in BW2 because the previously didn’t have any. Adding new old ones to Alola would be like what they did for platinum. And I didnt buy platinum because it was that different from the originals.

    • That’s called a sequel. We had the amazing Black/White 2, which made sense. Yet, for Sun/Moon; I thought the story was rather closed. There isn’t much for them to add, which is why I don’t believe the leak. Still, anything could happened.

      • See that’s the thing, sun and moon had a very closed story. Plus, if its a story with a lot of cut scenes, that ruins it for me. Pokemon is not the best with cut scenes, though they did get a lot better this gen, and I want to explore not mash A.

  51. I guess I’ve just never seen the point of a third game. Never bought emerald, never bought platinum. There isn’t enough new stuff for me to want to drop forty bucks on it. Not to be negative, but I’d rather have a remake (where there is a lot of new stuff to explore, new potential megas, new mechanics, and updated graphics) or a brand new gen than a pokemon game that just adds to the story but has the same creatures and graphics.

          Reply
    • Emerald added the Battle Frontier and more, same as Platinum. It’s really just an addition of features they didn’t get to add in the original release. A third version is just an expansion on an original concept. Remakes are theoretically better, but I feel that Stars will feel more like a remaster than release.

      Reply
      • I mean, I see their appeal, what with having more postgame or cooler this or that, but as the games keep getting more expensive and more and more titles keep being released from every company including nintendo, I’d rather spend my money elsewhere until D/P remakes or Gen 8.

  52. So another question: If Solgaleo and Lunala got a Z move, what names would the moves have, what base power would they have, and what effects would they get (like with Ash-Pika’s increased crit, Mew’s Psychic Terrain, and how Marshadow steals an item)?

  60. I think my one hope for the next game is that it in’st just a port of SM or even a regular 3rd version in the way that Emerald and Platinum were. I think the series is past those kinds of games at this point. Otherwise GF would have done Gray and Z. GF have stated they want to surprise us and while yes in a way bringing back 3rd versions would be surprising in a way I don’t think this would be much of a step up in the right direction. I’m hoping that if the next game is located in Alola then it is a sequel. They already have stuff set up for a sequel with Lillie and the other characters so them doing a rehash of SM would be kind of disappointing. While I REALLY liked SM I also don’t want to play through it again with only minor changes and them shoehorning Necrozma in…….lol

    Reply
  61. Joe Merrick also reckons its possible we’re getting Kanto remakes (or a sequel). His motivation for this is the fact that numerous Japanese social media have recently been uploading dialogue from Pokemon Red and Green, randomly. He adds that these accounts never do this if it doesn’t hold any relevance

    Reply
  62. Yeah, I hope that rumour is fake. Alola again, more Z-Moves, no Megas, only 1 new form for Necrozma. No thanks. Personally, I want either DP remakes or a mix of Alola/Kanto as the follow-up to SM.

  63. only one thing can make this week atm worth being around and thats a new main series Pokemon game that isn’t Switch only and comes out this year in fall, that won’t suck!

    Reply
  64. Hmm, after listening to Joe talk with gamexplain, specifically about the sales projections of the 3ds; yeah I’m pretty much convinced that what ever comes tomorrow is going to be on the 3ds and most likely an exclusive to meet those numbers. If I found the right numbers their sales projections for this year were 40 mil software sales, and shy of a new pokemon game it doesn’t seem likely that they could meet that.

    Reply
      • Also, 40 mil likely includes other stuff as well, and seems even high for a normal year to me. SM were absolute hits and sold 10 mil in 2016.

        Reply
        • Yes and no. 40 mil is pretty normal, but think about the what’s been released on the 3DS this year. Their really hasn’t been much new software which led to a lot of people saying that it was being discontinued for the switch. I feel like it does need something big to make a huge dent in those projected figures.

          Reply
          • Oh you mean Nintendo sales figures? There’s still a lot of other software releasing for 3DS, and they are betting on some cheaper titles that are evergreen to reach the numbers.

          • And I am certain that they are. Its just even with smaller titles, I don’t see them reaching that number without one big sales booster, and pokemon is the prime candidate to do that. That, and really other then Dragon quest later this year(and that’s mostly Japan) their doesn’t seem like anything else that could be that must buy game left announced.

          • Yeah, but the thing is its a bit of a harder call this time around. The games coming out on PS4 and the Switch, and the 3DS version is very different and might be seen as lesser. So I don’t see it as a huge guarantee of sales. Enough that I can see it selling a million copies, but its not going to be 5 million 3DS copies sold.

      • My thinking, and please disagree with me on this, would be that any main series pokemon game put on the switch would pull sales from the 3DS. Like lets say the game comes out holiday2017. If a switch version existed, then it pulls software sales from the 3DS, so while the game would probably sell 10-15 million units, a third to half of those would be from the switch, which hurts that 40 million goal. That’s why I’m thinking it would only be on the 3DS

        Reply
        • It won’t, since one sale pulled from 3DS is one sell on Switch, plus you have the userbase of people without Switch or 3DS.
          Only fanboys who won’t buy a game because it’s also on a system they don’t own are to blame if that would happen.

          Reply
          • The thing is though that that works as a game sale, but not software for the console, or at least I’m fairly certain so. In the example I listed; yeah 5 mil switch sales and 10 mil from the 3DS would still be 15 mil sales for pokemon, which is great. Good to see pokemon doing well. But nintendo’s projected numbers do make a clear difference from switch sales and 3ds sales when it comes to software, hence why I mentioned the 40 mil. Because of that I really do feel that this is pretty much a 99% chance of what ever it is being on the 3DS, and it would be safer to bet that it would be exclusive then not.

      • And that’s possible, but like I was saying before, they might not. He also said there’s a chance of Kanto remakes. We’ll see tomorrow though for certain.

  74. If Sinnoh remakes are confirmed I think it would be ironic, as the biggest issue with gen 4 was how slow they were (battles, health bar, text, etc.) and with each game getting more cutscenes/tutorials that problem would not really be fixed. I personally would love to have them though, but would rather had the 3rd Alola game first (please had more post game stuff), would not be too excited with R/G remakes unless they showed something huge. Kanto has gotten boring to me. Thoughts?

    Reply
    • ARE YOU CRAZY? No just kidding, but Sinnoh had the battle frontier, If they do something with it to improve it a bit, it will evenly match the battle tree, so no problem in post game, also we get back chain fishing, radar,honey in trees, and so on. I would also like to rebattle Cynthia, Sumo sequels are more probable, but sinnoh remakes wouldnt be boring or have less post game in the least.

  76. Does anyone here fully believe that D/P Remakes will be revealed tomorrow? I love Sinnoh, but I feel like D/P Remakes are likely a game for 2018/19. An enhanced third version of S/M makes a lot of sense with the rumours (and accuracy) of EuroGamer.

    I guess the real question is if Stars will be coming to the 3DS. A lot of rumour site solely list it for the Switch, so GameFreak might do something unconventional and make Stars a Switch exclusive. It would be a smart business tactic for Nintendo as Stars is supposed to release in the Fall (likely October or November, but before Super Mario Odyssey releases). This would push Switch units like crazy as Nintendo will have (should have) an increased amount of Switch stock in stores. Pokemon Stars and Super Mario Odyssey would easily allow Nintendo to have a strong Late 2017 to Early/Spring 2018 presence.

          Reply
          • Ehh, well given what Rose seems to represent we probably won’t see it again until the end of super, or if it goes past DBZ’s ending due to popularity.

          • I’m more of a SSB fan myself. Just something about it just looks good. Its so calming to look at. Something worthy of a god-like fighter. But here’s hoping with the current arc will see some other characters start to achieve god ki. Krillin’s already shown sign’s that he can achieve it, or at least understand the fundamentals of achieving it.

          • I honestly can’t see that happening, I just can’t see humans (Even if they are really strong) achieving a level of godhood. I think Gohan has the most potential since hybrid Saiyans are stronger than purebreds (which still doesn’t make sense to me).

          • The thing is though that Dragon Ball generally seems to imply that the gods of destruction are those who ascended to godhood, and weren’t necessarily born to it. So I could see someone like Krillin having the smallest amount of god-ki, if only for something of a copout ending. Like Krillin showing that he’s naturally achieved god-ki, showing zeno that even primitive mortals can ascend to being higher plains and saving the eight universes. It kinda sounds like something Toriyama would pull.

            As for why half-breeds are stronger, Masaco did a good video on it today, but the short version is that when breeding our cells have a very small mutation that’s passed on that can have any number of effects on the body. One possible effect is that it can result in being better then it initially was. So pretty much it amounts to this small mutation combined with human DNA results in a stronger lifeform and so long as it continues to be passed down from generation to generation, it’ll generally just result in improving those cells(the case he used explaining why Sayans now seem to easily achieve Super Sayan status, where their offspring do it rather easily). As for Why Gohan is probably stronger(potentially) then Goku; that’s probably more because of Chi Chi. Children tend to adopt a lot of the qualities of their parents, including their physical abilities. Gohan is the result of the universes strongest man and the earth’s strongest woman. Its amazing that he didn’t come into this world with a 12 back and biceps the size of Mr. Satan’s sort of afro.

            Here’s the video if you care to see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZzxegTKcbg&t=0s

          • Ok, I saw the video earlier, but I wasn’t really paying attention, but I did learn about that stuff in Biology. That reminds me, you hear about that warrior from one of the Universes who could defeat a God Of Destruction?

          • Yeah that’s an interesting throwaway line, though its hard to say who it is. I mean it could be the main antagonist of this arc, but perhaps its a total dark horse. Heck maybe it’ll be part of the next arc.

          • Don’t you mean Universe 7? Pretty sure 4’s going to try to kill them since theirs no rule saying that they can’t kill one another before the fight.

          • I meant more that we could see you know who take on a similar form, not Broly. Like seeing them pushed to their absolute limit, only for Goku to step in and tell them the fatan flaw of SS3, being that it burns through energy like crazy.

  80. I still can’t believe this is actually happening tomorrow and I’ve had all day to process it. This hype is really extreme…for some reason.

Ideally it would be more of a fall out episode of Steven needing to talk to Lars’ parents and him trying to explain to the gems that he brought someone back from the dead and how much that can weigh on him now. If it just jumps to a return to slice of life though it could burn a lot of good will.

    My idea? You play as a Mareep herder who has to travel into the dreams of Pokémon around the world. The goal in each dream is to find the nightmare Pokémon that’s troubling the sleeping Pokémon, and use your Mareep to track it down before the Sleeping Pokémon become paralyzed with fear!

  87. I’m gonna take this leak with a MASSIVE grain of salt as i believe that Gladion would have changed his hairstyle a bit if its been a few years. >.> that hair style does NOT go with that outfit, also the no new pokemon thing skeeves me a bit as i feel we did not get enough pokemon this generation. holding out hope for more pokemon and, if sinnoh remakes are announced, more pokemon alt forms, perhaps sinnoh forms, i personally liked the idea of the alola forms.

    • The best way to handle Sinnohian forms imo is the way they introduced extra pokemon to the map in omega ruby and alpha sapphire, after the main legend is bested or caught. the world altered to introduce these forms by palkia or dialga respectively.

      • On that note: i hope they do something promising with Regigigas this time around, it’s one of my favorite pokemon, least favorite abilities to go with it…

    • The article actually says it’s been debunked, it’s just casually there in text tho

      “It has been confirmed the the screenshot and concept art are both an creations, consequently meaning the leaked information is also false”

      Needs to be highlighted more imo, I barely noticed it

      • ok here’s how its been since last night

        -Woke up at 2 o’clock due to a night terror about my friend
        -Forgot the text book I have to return today so had to get driven home to go get it
        -By Sunday my friend is moving to Georgia
        -German Finals
        -Have lost my voice to allergies
        -and had no breakfast this morning before it

        Yeah this is one of my more off the norm. Days and if Pokemon reveals good all this will be washed away by enthusiasm

        • You poor deer, i feel that kind of calamity on certain days too, the whole “nothing is going right and nothing will”
          What we got with this direct is a gift, a possible way to break the norm, but we’ll see how it goes, i offer you my sympathy and empathy.

  89. I can accept anything even new dungeon game I prefer conquest though but not another mobile game …….Did ya hear me ??? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

      • Yes. It’ll probably be that. There’s so many rumors surrounding that title. It’s just amazing really. Ever since Eurogamer reported on it the day or so after Sun and Moon released, I can’t get it out of my mind. If they get this right, then that also likely means Nintendo GameCube Virtual Console is coming, as Eurogamer also reported rumors on that. If that happens, I will cry tears of joy.

  90. I am excited for the direct, but to be honest I am not expecting much. It’s 8 minutes long, which means we have time for a small trailer for whatever mainline the game they choose to make. I am just hoping for Gold and Sliver Eshop games, hopefully for the switch. They need to start unifying and transitioning more stuff to the switch. The whole idea behind the switch is that it unifies our downloadable content. I want to be able to play pokemon on the tv and then take it with me. This is just my thought process.

  94. What if it’s just an announcement that Pokémon Gold and Silver are now available on 3DS VC with wireless trading enabled.

  95. Iwata will appear on stage: “I’ve come back from the dead to bring you this super important news. We here at Nintendo, needed some serious cash to be able to sustain business. That’s why we will be releasing the next Pokémon on a new platform it’s not yet been released on!
    A trailer drops, showing bits from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos and Alola in glorious HD. ‘Visit every region from the past Pokémon to become the ultimate Pokémon Master’, the trailer says.
    It then cuts out the logo: ‘Pokémon Rainbow. Releasing this November on…’
    A sparkly logo thingie appears….
    ‘PlayStation 4 exclusive’
    Iwata then takes of his mask, revealing himself to be no-one else than Kaz Hirai! Kaz Hirai laughs and says, “Haha, we bought the Pokémon franchise from Nintendo!!! Hope you’ll enjoy the next game!”
    The broadcast then ends.

  96. You meet the best girl/boy you could have. The perfect partner. Beautyful, smart, funny (and good in bed if you’re over 18). You want to be with that person all the time. BUT, that person hates pokemon and says that she/he won’t be with a person that likes it. She/he says that you’re breaking up, unless you stop playing “that silly kid’s game”. What do you do?

  97. Truth: Everything on the supposed leaks is true.
    False The name of the new game is not Pokémon “Stars”

  98. Phew, I liked the trials. That being said, I hope Mina has already mapped out a trial by then. If she’s still a captain that is.
