Breaking: Pokémon Sun & Moon Revealed?!

pokemon-sun-moon-filingTrademark 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.

  1. This may seem stupid but i really hope mega evolution wasnt a “gen 6 only” sort of thing. Im sure they will keep it and add more megas.

    • Mega Evolution is a feature that is going to stay. There is a split timeline in the Pokemon Universe where Mega Evolution was discovered. Plus, a lot of people typically enjoy that feature, so I do not see them dumping it. Similar to Pokemon Origins, that do not need to add all of the lore. Just simply giving a Mega Stone to the protagonist is good enough.

  2. I wonder if Marriland was actually correct in thinking that Zygarde 10%, 30%, and 100% were purely just for the anime. This reveal of Sun and Moon, I believe that it’s going to be the 7th Generation. I feel like Magearna is highly a part of this “new generation”. I expect Volcanion to have a new forme and to be official discovered in these new games too. (I still have the feelings of 6.5 to Kalos…)

    • I don’t think so. Feels almost like there are going to be another 2 Core, for Sun and Moon. The games then maybe have Kalos and whatever the other region is and you the Cells are present across both regions.

      Give me Sinjoh. And a sun and a moon legendary. Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.

  3. If there’s gonna be a 7th gen, then it must be related somehow with Kalos and Zygarde. Maybe it will be like Gold and Silver for 1st gen. Magearna keeps inside the “soul heart” —> Soul silver & Heart Gold? Golden Sun and Silver Moon?

    • Possibly. We’ve been debating a Generation 6.5 (Pokemon Gold and Silver were basically Pokemon 1.5) for a while. I feel like we may not see Zygarde in this. Yet, the possibilities for tomorrow are endless. I’m just waiting to see some gameplay. I’m ecstatic for FRIDAY! 😀

      • I don’t remember who, but an article or two ago, somebody brought their theory where they said it could be like gold and silver, where it’s it’s own region, but then we go to kalos and there’s some disaster where zygarde needs to come out

  4. Meh. Hmm I don’t know want to think, I would have preferred a third version or something like rainbow to be honest. Don’t find the titles that exciting either, not sure why but I don’t (loving the suggestions this could bring cosmic type though). I think is it’ because they seem very fan-title-y, and not in a cool way. But we literally know nothing, so I’ll just keep my hype for the inevitable trailer.
    Anyway, this could be a placeholder, or a TCG expansion, or it could be a future title with an XY sequel in between…
    Imma just wait until tomorrow.

  6. This is most definitely the GSC game to XY’s Red and Blue. There are so many hints about the sundial in Kalos and references to the sun and moon in the game. Whether you wanna call it Gen 6.5 or 7, that’s what it’s gonna be. Soooooooooooooo hype!

  7. I wonder if some people still know me… Anyway, I’ve been very busy with school stuff and doing my best to become an engineer. I decided to change my mind and reschool as a power engineer, so I still have some extra years before me until I start working. But my grades are excellent and my life couldn’t be more wonderful.
    Except that I have very little time for anything else and had to put my Zelda and Pokémon love on the backburner. But I saw the announcement and I’m getting excited again. A new generation means a new rumour season coming up.

    On Sun and Moon, I can say that they are doing a great job with keeping up the surprises. I think hardly anyone predicted these names and I suspect that they have a lot more in store for us. If Zelda U comes along for the Wii U /NX this may very well be my most memorable year in gaming history. I’ll be gladly keeping up with the news and try to have internet access when the direct hits.

    If there’s anything personal you want to ask, just shoot a reply to this comment.

    PS: I still have my sense of humour.

      • Wow, I’m in my second year in college and I’ve got time to play my xbox on a consistent basis. Not sure if my study habits are weak or what lol. University has to be somewhat different in Europe though, to some degree. I should be studying for my exam tomorrow… Hmmmm.

        😉

        • When you’re studying one of the hardest degrees at one of the hardest universities of the country in one of the hardest countries in Europe, you know you get it rough.
          The actual thing is though that through the day I’m constantly busy with classes and building relationships with friends and when I get back at dorm I prefer to study rather than spend time on my consoles. But once this summer hits, I’m going to get back in my games and finish my backlog. I still have time to play Zelda and Pokémon, but ORAS was so lackluster I needed a break.

          • Trueee. I started as an engineering major, and after my first year I dropped it and changed LOL. I’ve got a lot of respect for all engineering majors… it’s hard.

          • It is hard, yet so rewarding. But I understand if you give up on it, my first year I struggled a lot too. You basically have to give up your life to be able to move on.

          • I mean it’s not that I couldn’t do the work, it’s that I wasn’t enjoying it. I wasn’t having fun doing the work. And you know how expensive higher education is, so I didn’t want to get a degree in something I didn’t like.

          • “one of the hardest degrees at one of the hardest universities of the country in one of the hardest countries in Europe”

            You’re so awesome man

    • Welcome back Dae I remember you 😀

      I’ve also started college and am in my second year, so I haven’t been that active on this site since X and Y really.

    • Hi Dae,
      I am so happy to hear that you’re doing great in school. I wish you the best in power engineering sector. I have some knowledge about wind turbine engineering. It was fun. I don’t know it is related to it.

      I don’t know, I feel teary. Isn’t it strange? I haven’t established any ‘physical’ relation with anyone here, but I still feel connected to some people. I knew that you were going to dedicate yourself to your school and hearing that you are doing excelent in your life made me happy miles away too.

      Hope you’re doing good with your lover too. Sorry in advance, if I reopen old wounds.

      Love You
      Best Wishes

      • I’ll never forget the articles you used to write… The origin ones? That’s some high quality PJN content. You should write more

      • Hi Belmad, glad to hear from you too!

        Power engineering does contain wind turbine engineering, but it’s much more than. Esssentialy you can design everything from a power plant, so the electric cabeling, the transformers, the power electronics, turbines, heat transfer, flow rate in tubes but also renewable energies like solar, wind and hydro. It has voltages that can go up to 3000 times the voltage that comes out of your plug. It’s really fun and really hard, but it took me a while to realise it’s what I really wanted to do.

        Me and my lover is a more complex story than I will ever be able to and want to write on this blog, but I can tell I’m happy with how it is now.

        Greets,

        Dae

  8. Those logos look amazing!!! Ahhh I’m so excited. While I will get both, moon is definitely gonna be my favorite. I was literally speculating a few weeks ago they could be called this and that the legendary for moon could be a hare and the sun could be a wolf or fox. So these logos are official, right?

  9. Hey guys, in the games there was something about the blue pentagon (the Kalos marking) that indicated there was only one or two more G6 games, anyone remembers what it was?

    Reply
  10. YES! Love the concept & logos.

    My guess is it will be Gen 7 and all new Pokemon cause they look and for the criteria of main stream games. All remakes or sequel games have alluded to their predecessor FireRed and LeafGreen, HeartGold and SoulSilver, Black2 and White2. If it were a sequel to X or Y it would be called Z or X2 and Y2 or at least have some reference to the past titles. Sun and Moon stand completely on their own much like past main series entries like Ruby and Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl, Black and White or well you know X and Y. That being said like many have stated it could be like Gen 2/Johto was to Kanto and connected to Kalos. So after finalizing your journey in the new region you can revisit and updated Kalos region with the new Zygarde forms and plot line. Collect the badges there, explore new areas and changes to old ones etc. As we all know aside from Mega Evolutions the amount of new Pokemon introduced in 6 were weak. So even 100 or so new ones would be nice if it is in fact a continuation to Gen 6 like Gold & Silver were to Gen 1, but I’m hoping for at least 120 new Pokemon. It is the 20th anniversary after all. As for Mega Evolutions which I have no doubt will be back they still haven’t explored any Mega Evolutions in Gen 5 or 6 so I would love to see that! Giving the Kalos starters all Mega Evolutions would be the cherry on top of a return back to Kalos. Also introduce more rounded less femine Fairy-types and more unexplored type combinations like Fairy/Fighting, Fire/Poison, Electric/Dark, etc. And if we don’t get a water dolphin starter or wild Pokemon in this game I will be very sad. It could be water/fairy or water/psychic typing not to mention think of how cute it would be. I just hope they bring character customization back but if it is indeed connect or closely related to the Kalos region I say the chances are rather high. To not include the feature would be a step backwards at this rate. I’m so excited!
