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.
More as it develops… Remember, for the latest breaking news follow us on Twitter and ‘like’ us on Facebook!

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.
CELESTIAL THEMES IN POKEMON! YASSS! MY SOUL IS READY TO CONVERGE WITH POKEMON MOON! 😀 Honestly though, Pokemon Moon is an immensely appealing idea and one that I HOPE is true!
What’s the American trademark site? Has anybody found sun and moon on it?
http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com apparently. But it redirects you to pokemon.com
Interesting… 😮
Guys, this could be a major problem: http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/02/25/a-nintendo-parody-account-is-tricking-outlets-into-confirming-pokemon-sun-and-moon/#544351805af1
That’s known news already. Just because the twitter is fake doesn’t mean the trademark is.
This is literally of no significance. This is real, and it will be confirmed tomorrow.
“Video game new outlets” – Forbes, 2016 (Joking, obviously my grammar is worse)
As for the article itself, it fails to point out several key factors: even if the twitter account utilized to disseminate knowledge concerning Pokemon Sun and Moon is fake, that does not negate the reality of the trademarks being official. Those who claim that the games are not going to occur or materialize are either basing it off of tradition which can easily be broken or initial knowledge concerning how Pokemon/Nintendo often trademarks and copyrights Pokemon games such as Brown, Amethyst, etc… However, none of those games had logos affiliated with them nor were they trademarked a day before a huge Pokemon announcement was due which adds more to the credibility of Pokemon Sun and Moon. Honestly, at this point, anything can happen but the matter of fact is: NEW MAIN SERIES TITLES ARE GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED and that is all that matters after the drought of Pokemon in 2015.
The trademarks are still real. There going to show off a new game tomorrow. Companies (especially gaming ones) trademark the names of the games a day or a week before they announce it. The fake twitter is just confirming what is already real!
Have updated the post. More confirmation has arrived…

… MY UTERUS WAS NOT READY FOR THIS!
I expect Pokemon Sun/Moon to have a marketing campaign primarily focusing on regaining back lost fans and reigniting the simplicity yet heartwarming characteristics Pokemon is known for. That is a weapon that not many have in their arsenal… 20 years?! 20 FREAKING YEARS?! The longevity and legacy of Pokemon is astonishing and to think that the latest releases have amassed over 20 million copies worldwide is insane! Although Pokemon may be struggling in certain markets, growing markets such as China, Korea, and many more have yet to truly delve into the awe-inspiring Pokemon experience and if Pokemon/Nintendo play their cards correctly and their marketing campaign is as good as what it was for Platinum and Black/White, expect these two games to shatter Pokemon records.
Hmmmm… Moon and Sun
I wander if it is any sort of Lugia and Ho-oh reference
X and Y were heavily influenced by Gen 1
If these are influenced by Gen 2 that would be amazing. And if it connects back to Kalos the way Johto did to Kanto that would be pretty interesting. Kalos story is definitely unfinished.
Also Kanto, Kalos
Not sure the name meanings but phonetically similar
Well that’s all I’ve got for now. Back to the shadows @.@
In Germanic alchemy, the sun represents masculinity and life, while the moon represents femininity and death. Could this give us a insight to the setting and themes of these games?
Unless the legends are some gigantic solar and lunar God and Goddess
I just want a game setting based on Germany. Specifically 1600’s Germany because Alchemy could be an interesting idea in a game.
I prefer Russia
That too! I’d love a snowy region. Platinum tried it, but I think it could have done a bit more.
I wouldn’t say Platinum did Russia, it was more later in the year of the events of the first game where it was entering a colder climate
Oh, sorry. I meant the whole “snow” thing. I know Platinum was still based on Japan.
Yeaaa, let’s wikipedia everything about sun and moon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solar_deities
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lunar_deities
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_and_moon_letters
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_in_culture
I looked up the sun and moon in alchemy mainly because people theorized that the next games would have an alchemical theme.
Still like the Shinto stuff most.
Probably why Sinnoh was and still is the best region and generation for me: because of its rich lore and inspiration coming from folklore, religion, etc…
..and what country is next to France? Germany. Also touches back on the life/death aesthetic of Xerneas/Yveltal.
Makes sense. I’m strong on thinking these games will be Kalos-linked.
[dream mode activated]
I’m predicting that the legendaries for Pokemon Sun and Moon would be Fire/Psychic and Dark/Fairy (or Dark/Rock). I’m guessing that the teaser would be similar to X/Y’s in style. There highly just going to chat about Pokemon’s history, then reveal the next mainline games and have them release in the fall.
Dark/Fairy sounds nice but Fire/Psychic doesn’t really make sense considering the Sun and Moon Pokemon will probably be deities who created or ARE the Sun and Moon of the Pokemon world respectively. Who knows though… lol!
Anything but a damn Moon Fairy
Dark/Fairy type legendary sounds awesome. I wonder what mythological creature they could base it off of?
~ The Sun Pokemon and Moon Pokemon are the mascots of Pokemon Sun/Moon and because the Zygarde cores need sunlight and all the things a normal plant would need to survive, the antagonistic group’s main goal is to capture either the Sun or Moon Pokemon and thus, Kalos or S. Kalos enters a period of chaos and the ecology suffers and such. By capturing the Sun/Moon Pokemon, the antagonistic group plans to make Zygarde appear and use its energy to power the Ultimate Weapon or something similar to that. As Kalos begins to deteriorate, Zygarde has no choice but release its true powers and save Kalos from total destruction. It would make sense considering the Sun and Moon are in a somewhat symbiotic relationship: without the Sun Pokemon, eternal darkness would kill life and without the Moon Pokemon, eternal sunlight would kill life. That would be the perfect way for Zygarde to be tied into the story considering how Zygarde is immensely important to the environment and its ‘Dex entry does state that when the environment is in grave danger, it will show its true power.
Can I call Team Solar and Team Lunar already? I want the dual team thing back.
Team Lunar: a “religious” cult bent on destroying Team Solar and the leader was apart of the Kalos War and has pent up aggression and loathing towards Northern Kalos
Team Solar: a “reform” cult bent on destroying Team Lunar and the leader comes from Northern Kalos
… I mean, they did kind of base Team Flare off of the Nazi in my humble opinion with all their genocidal talk and ‘ish.
I wonder when we can explore the other planets in the Pokemon universe…
Sun and Moon
Pure Fire and Rock/Ice
I wonder if the new evil organization/cult will be called Team Twilight or Eclipse or something like that? Or maybe it’ll be like the Heonn region and have Team Lunar and Team Solis/Solar?
Pokemon Eclipse would be a totally awesome name for a Pokemon title! 😀
Or perhaps a movie for the new region? I don’t think that they’ll do the whole different versions of the same movie thing that they did with Black/White
http://norse-mythology.org/sol-mani/
“… they didn’t know what their powers were or what their role was in the new world …”
LOL! That would be so funny if the mascots are like this!
we bringing up norse again???
Pokemon has Megas now Sun and Moon.
Digimon had a game called Dawn and Dusk
Coincidence I think not. Illuminati Confirmed as Villain team for Sun/moon
Goodness, all this hype is like a big family reunion! Chicolumbia, skiddo (new skiddo lol), earthenwarrior, Shinyxatu, Dae, defensivebastiodon, dicie, jordanite, and all those other amazin people i may have left out, its nostalgic and wonderful to return to open arms! (Hope i didnt double post this its being weird)
Dicie is back?
I wonder if this game will reference the Greek gods Helios and Serene?
It has been quite a while since I’ve seen the hype again on this site. I can’t believe how amazing those 2 logos look and how they accidentally revealed them. At this point in time I am 100% certain it is these 2 games. The fact that they are making the sites today as well confirms that for me. The question is when we will get it, and how long we have to wait. Welcome back my beautiful jungle family <3
#TeamMoon!
The thing about the moon, it looks like a crescent moon but also something with Salamence like wings. Possible hint to flying moon legendary?
Maybe the moon pokemon can have different forms? like full moon, Half moon, Crescent moon
I like this
Who’s willing to bet that Deoxys and/or Rayquaza will make an appearance in the games?
Definitely not Rayquaza since A: we already had enough from the last game
And B: Rayquaza dwells inside the stratosphere just underneath the ozone layer
So we’ll probably see Deoxys then? or perhaps maybe Jirachi?
Jirachi has been event only.
maybe that will change in the next game? at least I hope so
well Jirachi is getting a event soon. so most likely not but who knows
Hoenn will too
No more hoenn
More Hoenn
We need NEW THINGS, not just going to a uneeded region we just went to
Tbh I’m fine with anything as long as they have no more Kanto or fucking Gen I pandering
We still need Mega Snorlax though
I would applaud a Red & Blue 3D Remake
*smugly* it IS a the anniversary afterall
No thanks
No more Kanto remakes please. Lazy story telling at this point. Give us a new story in Kanto
I would say neither since they’re both in ORAS.
Neither of them. They were both in Pokemon OR/AS. Give some other legendaries a chance to shine. I would love to see something with Jirachi tho.
When you send the Moon and Sun Pokemon out together….do you get an eclipse?
So will the third game be called Pokemon Eclipse?
That would be a good name actually. And cool battle field effect
Maybe a new weather that raises dark type something? Oooo the hype… How i missed
There won’t be a third game anymore, they gave up on the idea from the looks of it :'(.
Ok the fifth game then 🙂
Maybe there will be a third legendary who’s based on eclipses? it could have different forms based on lunar and solar eclipses.
I’m here for the hype. I think I’m going to go with Sun because I just think the logo looks better. Also, I wonder if anyone remembers me. (I was around here from the release of XY to about 6 months after.)
I do! 😀
Personally, I’m leaning towards Moon.
Your name is definetly familiar.
I think I need to kno what the games are first to make a distinct decision on which I’m going to get. If there are brand new Pokemon in them and exclusives on each then I definitely have to wait and c. If it’s just a brand new story and no new Pokemon the I suppose I really don’t care lol
I eventually buy both versions but I’ll probably get sun first
I remember 🙂 been a while
I remember you.
Ok so we have names trademarked and now we have domains being registered? If it was just the trademarks then I could see people saying it’s just a coincidence, but now…….Y WOULD THEY IMMEDIATELY REGISTER DOMAIN NAMES FOR WEBSITES IF IT WASN’T COMING SOON?!?!?!?! I mean come on man……..what the heck……lol
Didn’t they make a domain name for Pokemon Gray? Anyway, I hope this rumor is true since these logos look official and amazing.
Idk……….but ……..but this has to b true……right……..? lol
they have ever domain for ever language register
If the new games are sequels or have anything to do with Kalos you all owe me candy.
Sure if you ever visit Puerto Rico i’ll gladly give a snickers bar(or any candy of ur choice) lol
I wonder if theres going to be a Team Galactic reference/mention? cause space
They should come back! They were the best.
So just found out zygarde is powered by the sun
Yeah the cores regenerate from the sun it seems. Clues? lol
Its weird since you find him in a cave but whatever i dont really question pokemon logic what really matters right now is HYYYYYPE
So maybe he wont go to his full power?
Yeah it would explain why perfect zygarde wasnt in x and y
