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!
<3 PJ
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.
ALMOST AT 500 COMMENTS! THE JUNGLE IS ALIVE AND WELL! CHEERS! It’s nice to get to talk to all of you again! 😀
It feels like the XY hype, which felt like a club full of geeks talking about pokemon. it’s nice
To be honest, that’s essentially what it is
Save the rainforest! Even though it’s a jungle…
WHAT EVER YAY
Lol!
I just hope I survive the first reactions of the Direct and that the mascot Legendaries are not ugly as Magearna, which looks like Ken Sugimori was drunk and put Klink, Voltorb, and Diancie together. And if it’s Generation 7, I hope the Starters are well designed too. Inb4 many comments that be produced tomorrow about this subject: “These Pokemon are awful! Pokemon is running out of ideas!” #TypicalFandom
You know I really do hate when people say they run out of ideas. When you create stuff for a living, especially stuff like games and art, you never really run out of ideas
Yeah. I’m gonna try to stay near and clear of the official Pokemon accounts and Twitter and Serebii as far as possible. I just know there’s gonna be hate. Regardless of how well many think they are designed. You can’t please everyone. If only it was that way. Lol.
We’ve gone over the cycle of: see, hate, love so many times, I don’t think it will faze anyone that much. I remember how many essays were written when Mega-evolution was introduced.
Yep. I’ll probably go through the cycle: heart racing, hate them at first, rage, then love them. Some fans just don’t break that habitat ever and say they hate every new species all throughout the Generation. Why bother playing? If you are gonna be that negative.
Holy Crap! I haven’t seen this many comments since the summer of ’89…. *starts flashing back*
Anyway, I love the logos! Theyre pretty good ideas.

Thank you.
Inb4 new bad guys mess with Solrock and Lunatone and cause them to become crazy new Pokemon that are the Legendaries.
THIS.
We’ve known the legendaries for over 10 years now…
ORAS only really happened to promote Solrock and Lunatone!!!!
could anybody tell me when this direct should exactly start ?? cuz I wanna say my theory before that.
Tomorrow
10:00 EST PM Tommorow
how much hour left ?
Wait. It’s today?
Refresh I edited it. It’s tommorow
Yeah. That’s what I thought it was
Everyone’s coming back to speculate and stuff like the good old days. It kinda brought a tear to my eyes.
Not sure if anyone remembers my old gijinkas from years back, but I just wanted to show how much I’ve improved
Old drawing (That I actually worked pretty hard on)- http://pre03.deviantart.net/6e40/th/pre/f/2014/028/8/7/tristan_the_gastrodon_by_goomyforever-d742p4w.jpg

I’ve worked so hard to improve as an artist, and it’s really paid off
YOU ROCK! That looks beyond amazing! Congratulations! You truly showcase how dedication and passion can result in vast improvements!
Thank you so much!
Man, it’s really hard to believe that it’s been years since your gijinka drawings it feels just like yesterday…
Honestly! I’d like to revisit gijinkas sometime soon, it’s been so long and I’d like to see how they’d look now
Considering how much you’ve improved, they’d look awesome!
I love pictures like this. Seeing how much artists improve over time is so satisfying
Wow. So many ‘new comment’ tabs. I only remember it being like this two years ago!
Dear Arceus,
Please let this new region have a dark type gym. They are under-represented and stereotyped. Also take away their weakness to Fairy. That was some bullshit that you pulled.
Love,
Ultron
Although I want a Dark-type gym, I don’t think they should take away their weakness to Fairy.
I know…. ;( If they ever make another type though, Dark should be strong to it.
Also a dolphin Pokémon and a grass fire type.
Yes idk how we don’t have a Dolphin pokemon yet.
Gorebyss :^)
It’s a eel
What are you talking about its obviously a dolphin. :^)
With a sucker and a shell bra.
It’s a freaking Snipe Eel
It friggin stabs prey and sucks out their fluid WHAT DOLPHIN DOES THAT AND WHERE COULD I GET ONE
It looks like a dolphin to me :p
Well get your eyes examined
Kus it ain’t
You know what… I took a closer look and…I have to agree, it looks pretty damn close to a dolphin, I just couldn’t tell because it was pink.
It’s a snipe eel
https://36.media.tumblr.com/0da360a2db952ba87777f9e7d090e60d/tumblr_mki2faXiMw1rkzxuzo1_1280.jpg
Dolphins do some pretty messed up stuff anyway
I was just telling my friend what Gorebyss was.
I’m just kidding. I’d love an actual dolphin Pokemon. The I my favorite animals.
Isn’t it a chimaera shark?
I would be great if the dark type gym leader was an sweet old lady with an Umbreon on her lap
Hm….yes. Or an over-friendly young girl.
Dark type could make sense with the moon theme
Highly unlikely
Gym leaders are meant to be looked up to, I think a sneaky dark type would promote unjust actions
Well there have been Dark Type Elite Four. I don’t think Karen or Sydney are unworthy of our admiration.
Elite Four are kinda a grey area
Gym Leaders are more out there
Giovanni was a gym leader though and he’s pretty evil.
He probably would’ve been Dark type if that had existed.
Unlikely
Giovanni of the Earth is a renowned Ground Type master
He even wrote a book on them “Secrets of the Earth”
HELL HE DISCOVERED RHYPERIOR
he did?
He did
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Giovanni_(Adventures)
Giovanni wrote a book on the research of Ground-type Pokémon called Mysteries of the Earth that is currently in the possession of the new Viridian Gym Leader, Blue. The book contains detailed information on Ground-type Pokémon not known by anyone else. For instance, Giovanni was the first to discover Rhydon could evolve.
That’s only in the Adventures Manga though…
That’s only in the manga IIRC
Well if Dark Type had existed, perhaps some of those ground types would’ve been reclassified. As cool as Nidoking is, I don’t see how it’s much of a ground type. There also might have been other pokemon not in R/B/G that would’ve been dark types. It makes sense because it’s “evil” type in Japan and he’s the only evil gym leader that there has ever been. However, from todays standpoints, I don’t think the “evil” connotation exists with dark types any more, even if that’s what they’re still called.
It is what it is buster
And it’s never changing
Definitely not. Just interesting to speculate. It would be cool if Persian got a normal/dark mega though..that thing looks sinister.
It is a much deserving candidate
All its dex entries describe its fickle temperament
I feel like they could do something really cool for it too, since it’s design is fairly simple.
That was for the plot of the first game
Nobody retained that trait
Malva was a part of Team Flare, was she not?
She’s Elite Four but they’re both supposed to be looked up to.
This is for Gym leaders only
And if we’re including E4 Sidney mains the dark type, and if I recall collectly so does an E4 in Unova.
I’m talking gym leaders
Grimsley. Also Karen in gen 2.
THOSE ARE ELITE FOUR
IM SAYING THERE IS NO DARK GYM LEADER
I know, I was just clarifying for Kefka
Or maybe a leader that uses those evil feelings and ideas and uses them or good
…Giovanni?
Plot
Pleased to see all of the interesting discussion! I’m genuinely wondering if we’re looking at Gen 6.5 or Gen 7, and if the former, how will Sun and Moon tie into XY?
Dicie!
Celestial! How are things? 🙂
Good to hear from you again!
Things are going well! How about you!? 😀
PS: Call me Celest or Natsu, either one, LOL!
It’s been busy, but I’m glad to get back to talking and speculating with my favorite community 🙂
This site is really like a family. A large, pokemon obsessed, semi-dysfunctional family. And I love it
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Amen!
I love that about this site
Can I be the family cat?
Awesome! 😀
Well if the legendaries are a Hare and a Wolf, it could still tie into the Norse Mythology theme!
I feel like it’s 7. This is because there hasn’t really been two counterpart games in a single Generation other than the remakes. I could be wrong though.
Yeah, there have never been two new regions in one gen.
Two counterpart games: Black 2 and White 2 in Gen V, but they are direct sequels. 🙂
Yeah…
Could we be going to a new region then back to Kalos? As I’m writing this, I’m thinking of Heartgold and Soulsilver, but even if we visited two regions, we knew about Kanto and Johto before Gen IV.
It’s so hard to determine. I’m gonna go with a 7.6.5, based off of Shauna’s reference and the Strange Souvenir. They say Zygarde Core in the anime draws in sunlight for strength in the anime. It’ll be interesting to see Zygarde and it’s formes tie in to the games and if it will play some kind of role aside from the mascots. I think this is going to Johto like experience. New region, then return to Kalos post-game with more. Kalos was dull as hell. So linear.
I think a Dragon/Fairy pokemon would be cool. (If they’re adding new pokemon, that is)
Well there is Mega Altaria
We really didn’t need that eyesore, Flygon should’ve gotten that slot
Altaria needed it more. Flygon needs one though.
Well since I’m getting nostalgic about these comments being active, here is a drawing I did 2 years ago for a user here. http://i.imgur.com/6vSYpVo.png
bad
This reminds me of when Jordin used to do profile pics for users!
Oh yeah! I think I still have the Lucario one he did for me someone on my PC
They made my profile pic! Has anyone seen them lately?
Yeah! (He never gave me one though despite asking twice)
Remember the Mysterious Idol item or whatever in X/Y? Do you think it’ll be involved in the new games?
It could be like an idol of a sun god (Legendary pokemon)
So what you guys think about a dragon eeveelution?
That would be awesome. I found this online and I think it would be awesome (refresh)
That’s pretty sweet right there. Maybe some color adjustments, but I dig it.
Reminds me of Haku from Spirited Away.
Gotta watch that movie soon. I saw My Neighbor Totoro and loved it and I need to watch more Miyazaki movies
My favorite Miyazaki film is Howl’s Moving Castle! Saddening that he decided to retire but I guess it was time.
Spirited Away is soooo good. It’s the only Miyazaki film I’ve seen besides Ponyo. I need to watch all of them.
Too weaboo
Pokemon is weaboo
What took them so long would be my first thought. I’d love one!

What a very unique thing to post at this time
“I choose Z, not fucking Sun or Moon!” HAHAHA! THE SALTINESS COULD FEED AFRICA (Joke, please don’t get butthurt).
Lmao I still want Z with the BF
https://mobile.twitter.com/Junichi_Masuda/status/700214210483990528
Mmm
“Better employees who can keep info better” We literally only know the names. Can I have some fries with that salt?
As much as I want to not laugh at their stupidity, it’s so entertaining! It’s like watching a Kardashian in an interview: knows nothing and verbiage consists of, “like,” “and,” or, “oh my God.”
Okay so there’s one question that was never answered. The mystery still remains…
Which one of you is KPopStarz? Y’all gonna be stalking us now and everything now that we’re all back together… I know you’re here….
I always stalk you, bby 😉
It was me, DIO
LOL! I remember when some of you guys were in their article!
Let’s hope they don’t reveal every single mega pokemon before the games come out this time
“Mega Scoop of the century!”
I’m having flashbacks already
That was such a dumb decision on GameFreak’s part. Hopefully they’ve learned.
GUYS WAIT HOLD ON IM A FUCKING PROPHET. WHAT THE FUCK. I WAS A BIT WRONG BUT HOLY FUCK *refresh*
http://www.christiantoday.com/article/pokemon.diamond.pearl.remake.pokemon.omega.ruby.and.alpha.sapphire.release/39085.htm
Do we have to provide sacrifices to you now?
No, Lord Chin Chin
NYES B0SS
ay b0ss. can i get a remake plz.
Damn Chico. Back at it again predicting Pokemon~
I think I have a gift. I predicted ORAS the night before it actually happened…
I don’t even remember saying this, but it sounds like such a trolly thing that I’d say that I’m laughing really hard.
Now I have no choice to be against Sun and Moon
Why are you always a Debbie Downer?
Every party needs a pooper that’s why they invited you~ Party Pooper~
Did I just get roasted?
No
And I don’t like seeing Chico get high off his own fumes
Because I’m sick of everyone getting everything they want, and I never got anything good in ORAS
Y’all got all your favorites while the two I like Steelix and Camerupt sucks
Lol
Did you want Mega Flygon?
Yes, but it didn’t happen
They only thing I’m grateful for is the lack of Mega Milotic
But we got Mega Swampert 😀
That was the only good one, and Diggersby
But the rest torment me everyday
Diggersby is ugly
I love Diggersby until the day that shithead came up with DiggersbyTho and tainted the name
Chill, shofu is GOAT
I don’t care
That joke has ZERO MEANING
I am not sure what that is and I don’t wanna know
two words. Mega Milotic.
Eyy Aggron got a mega too ya know.
And Tyranitar. Not sure if you’re a fan of the Rock/Steel types though.
Ehh they aren’t too high on my list
I didn’t get battle frontier :<
I didn’t get mega Froslass and customization. Let’s just enjoy good games! 🙂
Ew customization, I would’ve liked it if I could use the Emerald clothes in ORAS though
I was thinking about that too. Why couldn’t they have added the R/S and Emerald clothes!
You got a freaking Glalie it’s the same thing
Ew gross no, Glalie sucks
I don’t remember getting any of these:
-Battle Frontier
-Mega Honchkrow, Volcarona, Milotic, Flygon, Torkoal, or Kecleon
-List may be amended
You’d hate the world if you’ve been depressed most your life
Even if Mega Rhyperior is announced?
“Chicolombia on PokeJungle spread the rumor” LMFAOO I can’t stop laughing at that, I don’t know what I was thinking but I think I was wanting to troll the Sinnoh fanboys that Ruby and Sapphire got a remake.
Wtf I’m pretty sure that was just speculation on your part hahaha
this freaking year… pokemon sun & moon, ff15, persona 5, kh3, nintendo nx, zelda wii u, star fox zero, bravely second, smt iv final… i could die a happy man. I said it many times, but 2016 will be the year for gaming!
All we need is Fallout 4 dlc
Which is coming ^^
It’s a shame that Star Fox Zero will probably sell bad due to Nintendo’s “greater” advertising.
What I want in Pokemon Sun/Moon:
~ More Mega Pokemon
~ Better story with as much depth as Black and White or even more so
~ An interesting, long, and well thought out post-game
~ Vastly improved graphics and animation
~ More challenging gym leaders, elite four members, and champion
~ Character customization
~ Pokemon that can follow you around
~ Improvements on the Day/Night system and seasons
~ A better villainous team with goals that are made known and concrete
~ Better character development
~ A rival that is DIFFERENT and not a re-hash of past ones
~ AMAZING score and soundtrack
~ Epic boss fights and cut scenes
A mean spirited rival would be refreshing
I miss Silver
Yea, I would I would be fine with one like Hugh too. One who is your friend but also a good rival who strives to be strong with you.
I would love another rival like Silver. Character development and a cool backstory
I had my own rival I based on this dick in school
Snooty, always on your butt and using the same overused material for YEARS, always mocking your every word
Hence forth I gave him nothing but Dark and Poison types
I know someone like that. It would be nice to beat up their pets
Oh goodness! LOL!
I just want to hurt people
Okay not really but you get what I mean
The only one I will say that were highly not going to see again is Pokemon that can follow you around. I feel like that’s going to stay as a Pokemon Yellow and HG/SS feature only. After that, this is a great list!
I want dual villain teams back…
We only had one, and that was last game
Team Solar and Lunar
Pokemon Sun will have Team Lunar and Pokemon Moon will have Team solar
One wants permanent sunlight and the other wants darkness.
That makes zero scientific sense but it’s the pokemon world, why does it matter?
Yea just ask Magma and Aqua
Maybe the legendaries produce mass amounts of light/darkness, the light pokemon could theoretically be placed on one end of the Earth and the dark one can blot out the sun?
Team Lunar should be some dark cult
I really can’t think of anything to add to this. I would add mega Metagross since it was my most wanted, but I have that now so I really can’t think of anything. I do want a dragon type eevee since I have that shiny just waiting to be a dragon type.
Oh yeah, I’m so pumped for rumor season! I’d say I look forward to that more than the games themselves.
I love speculation. It’s one of the reasons I loved the road to X and Y
They should get the manga writers to write the story for the next games.
i wouldn’t be surprised if the story is super basic again.
I’ve been playing games with great stories lately and it’s so frustrating knowing you’re probably right
Like, kids can handle deep stories. I don’t know why GF thinks that they can’t.
Steven Universe and Gravity Falls prove that. Even if they are TV shows
I love the Japanese version of the first Pokemon movie because they make Mewtwo ambiguously evil. I’d love to see a threat like him in the games.
I should watch that version.
It’s more than a good Pokemon movie, it’s a good movie in general.
X/Y Adventures. Team Flare is freaking crazy in that. They actually use Honedge’s as swords. That’s just epic!
I’ve only read the first 3 parts of it and it’s so good. The RSE one was awesome too
Yes, I actually like Ruby’s character
I wish ;-; I can only find ORAS adventures and a little bit of B2W2 adventures
I think it is safe to say the day/night cycle will return considering these names.
If they didn’t I would be extremely confused
Maybe the Earth froze in space in front of the sun. Spooky.
That’s the explanation for the other games without them, right?!
then one half of the earth would burn alive while the other froze to death. sounds a little much for pokemon.
A massive drought killing off everything in Hoenn does too.
Hoenn gets to live. Shush.
It’s the implication that counts!
They’ve been here since DP, they won’t be leaving ever again it seems
Gen 2 had it too didn’t it?
yes
Ninja’d..
Did any games other than DPP actually have day/night exclusives though? I don’t remember anything other than a graphical difference.
GSC
GSC and DP and afterwards had obvious changes
They had them in Gen 2 also
I know, but I mean it’s been in games consecutively since DP because RSE excluded it
I promised myself that I would avoid learning anything about the next pokemon region so that when I played the game it would be more exciting back in 2013 but… I miss speculating and talking to other pokemon fans
That sounds like an impossible feat.
I can try
What do you guys think?
I think I won’t be able to wait until after school to see the official announcement
The color matching to Zygarde’s stone thingies on its chest is quite accurate, and defintely adds some credibility to the names of the games and colors.
This doesn’t seem half bad, but who knows only time will tell
