Trademark registrations have been apparently found, as well as logos, for two unannounced games: Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon! These were filed one day before the Pokémon Direct and beginning of the 20th anniversary in Japan.

ps- WHAT DO YOU THINK?!
UPD1: Numerous Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon websites have been registered by different subsidiaries of Nintendo. All of them direct back to Pokemon.com. Looks like we know what our next games are, maybe.
I’ll take anything I can get, but I seriously doubt that we’ll be getting Gen VII before a third Kalos game.
Maybe it’s Gen 6.5
Perhaps the connection will be more evident if they are revealed tomorrow, so you might be right.
There is the sun dial and mega stones apear at night so there are celestial themes in x and y
Honestly, in Pokémon SPECIAL, the third Kalos Pokédex was destroyed in a chapter released a few months ago. In that manga, the Pokédexes ALWAYS go to characters named after the games, and we know Kusaka has access to early information, so there were some people thinking there wouldn’t be a third game for some time.
But this is strange. Unless this is Gen 6.5, why suddenly not have a third game or sequels? Was Z actually being made at some point and then cancelled, or is GF just trying to break away from the pattern? Was Zygarde a red herring? Will there be a Pokémon Star? Pokémon Earth?
Oh my god yes, my two favourite things.
I’m dead. It may be fake, but I still love this idea!!! #TeamMoon 😛
I really want to believe this, but SUN and MOON do not go with the whole Zygarde and Magearna aesthetic they’re proposing…even if it is a new generation, i really don’t think Sun and Moon would work. The only thing that works there is that it would be a gen 2 parallel
OMG! *.* I hope so much that this is true, maybe this means there wont be a Z? (I am honest, it always made me *yawn*) I truly hope for new Pokemon! 🙂
Don’t think it’s legit. These logos look too lazy — the background is basically the same only with different filters applied, the font resembles that of TCG expansions and the sun and moon symbols are just.. not harmonic?
Yeah I’m not buying it, I expected today everywhere rumors to pop up to see what the direct is
The background looks nearly the same
It has logos and everything, it can’t be fake! I believe that would be legally irresponsible if it weren’t actually from Game Freak/Nintendo, right? And of course the trademarks would be applied today or tomorrow, due to the companies not wanting it to leak any earlier. Here’s the link to the the website where this was found, just search Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. It’s definitely a job by Nintendo!

The background look like TCG artwork to me. Maybe it’s not a set of new games but a new TCG line to to along with Pokemon – insert name -.
The background of the logo or the background of the article image?
The background of the Pokemon Moon/Sun logo. Loically speaking, Pokemon tends to trademark their TCG sets WAY before release as opposed to a new set of games. If they truly wanted this to be a huge, global announcement, they would have trademarked the names and logos surreptitiously. By trademarking the names and such, they have alleviated a certain amount of hype and consequently brought down the level of hype a few notches.
Ah, that’s fine. I thought you mean the one in the article image. I was about to say that’s just a Google Image Search job on my behalf. 🙂
In that case, I doubt they would do it a single day before their huge Pokemon Direct, of all days.
I agree. It would be too hampering for those who are avid Pokemon news watchers.
Plus, this could be a PR stunt because Pokemon IS known for trademarking potential game names in fear of others using them for Fakemon games and such.
I’m curious as to when these names were trademarked. If they were trademarked very recently then I’d have to say I highly doubt these are what tomorrow is going to b about. Usually they Trademark at the very least months in advance before any hints at the name being actually used. I guess we shall have to see. I don’t think that these won’t eventually become games, but I’m not sure I see in the cards for this year. I could be wrong however. lol
They were registered today. X & Y were registered months after they were revealed in the Direct. 😉
Hmmmmm is that so……..well then I stand corrected…..either way I’m not sure these games will be whats coming tomorrow……or maybe they are……….? I’m not sure of anything anymore……….lol
If Gamefreak have succeeded in nothing else, they have succeeded in confusing the hell out of their fanbase 😉
Which is like a first as usually both Nintendo and GameFreak are super lazy about trying to trick their audience and r typically very easy to predict hahaha
It seems as though the filing date was today, but it has not been registered or given an expiry date yet. Not sure what that means for the situation.
Sounds fake but eh if real I’d take them. We will find out tomorrow.
This is a REAL trademark.
True enough but until it’s officially announced I’ll take it with salt. Like I said if real, cool, if not, eh didn’t believe it anyways. Tomorrow all will be revealed.
I’m going to be so disappointed tomorrow if this turns out to be fake. I personally believe that it’s real, but still, there’s always that chance.
Are u going to be disappointed if it turns out to b another Pokemon game Rainbow? lol
No, I’d actually really like that too! 😛
I’m so confused and excited about everything you guys. Someone hold me.
*Holds hand* I’m with you! I want it to be true because adding celestial themes to XY would really throw a curveball for those who are followers of the concrete XYZ (confirmed by Pokemon themselves) theme. I mean, they could somehow incorporate celestial themes by going back to Nordic roots.
Absolutely! It’s weird, it’s not what anyone was expecting, and it also has the potential to be friggin AWESOME. I don’t know what to believe right now, but I’m dying for tomorrow to get here already!!
*Holds you* Get a hold of yourself… only a couple more hours till direct… 🙂
The longest 24 hours ever, lol!
I know the feeling and I will never let go…… Unless I have to go to the bathroom then give me a minute.
I feel like they know people are going to be looking for this information, so they wouldn’t want to reveal it too early. It seems very real, but very fake at the same time oddly. The titles do have a certain ring to them though. Not something we expected it to be eother which is kinda cool. Only question now…mega lunatone and mega solrock confirmed?
They look pretty legit. I’d love it! I hope this will be the announcement tomorrow!!
Has anybody checked any gaming stores? My local gamestop usually tells me tey have holding spots in their systems for new games that are being announced within days, and when oras was announced, they had pokemon placeholders the day corocoro leaked
You guys have to look at Nintendo’s entire catalog of trademarks here. Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon exist as the most recent results in a list of hundreds of Nintendo properties. These are real trademarks too. I just can’t be convinced that we’re being trolled by this website. https://oami.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/owners/110078
If these really are the game for tomorrow I suspect that means we’re heading into a new gen. I can’t c them releasing another pair of games with brand new names and having them be related to XY. It doesn’t seem right for these to b in gen 6. I do think they are real, but I can’t see them for our current gen is all. Doesn’t mean they can’t get revealed tomorrow I guess!
Please don’t be a TCG expansion. Please don’t be a TCG expansion. Please don’t be a TCG expansion. Please don’t be a TCG expansion. Please don’t be a TCG expansion.
T_T
I think the logo looks enough like a main series one that it won’t be a TCG expansion lol
Can’t be sure what these are until they’re confirmed. Meanwhile, I can feel time slowing down right now until the Drect!
I know!!! Today was already going to b tough to get through and now this!
I’d just like to say, our hint for this year was “flowers”…flowers follow the sun and the moon in order to stimulate growth.
Xatu, you are a genius! This is likely it! <3
even if these are real, doesnt mean they are the next game. next gen maybe, but we will get something like Z or whatever to go with gen 6 this year.
If you click on the info button the individual trademark pages it opens up further details about them. Mostly a large wall of text, but these are definitely games of the video persuasion. The first paragraph talks about it being for a video game apparatus and ROM. So these are definitely video game trademarks at the very least.
Quick though, I know how magearna fits into Norse myth. There’s a squirrel that runs up and down the tree of life, delivering messeges, and squirrels tend to be portrayed as powering machines. The squirrel asked humans to make it a case/body to make traveling easier, so bam, magearna
Oooooooooooooooooooooh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah baby. This feels like a certainty. The names are so simple though, like fanmade but whatever. New games + news is all I want at this point!!!!
Alright quick poll even if they are fake or real which one would you take? I would totally go with sun not knowing anything about the games
That’s a tough call…I’ll save up and get both
Moon first, but…
I know u did this for fun ….but look at this background I think it’s belong inca and maya ( native american talked a lot about moon and sun) I don’t think it’s just a coincidence.
The Sun equals fire and fire burns stuff to the ground
That’s my thought process sun is hot, I like hot, hot burn things lol
But then again the Sun is the Symbol of life
all things need warmth and light
Definitely both, but I’ll start out by playing Sun. Assuming that the box legendary is cooler, of course.
Moon !!
depends on legendary pokemon and games differences
Depends on the Pokemon in each version. That’s how I pick my games. Yet, on name alone… I’m feeling Pokemon Moon.
