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.
Seems everything just died fairly suddenly
A lot of people are probaby up at late hours now, for me I’m in ghe last hour and a half of work, which means dishes to do :/
I’m still alive and well, otherwise i’d be a zombie deerling… But I know I’m alive because i can still feel my face~
Some people probably went to sleep. <3
Hi all. Nice to see the return of fans.
Anyone notice Magearna has a blue orange section on her upper body? Coincidence? I think not…
Hopefully the legendaries aren’t two new forms of Zygarde! ( or look like Magearna and Diancie). Personally, a Solar Peacock with sun like tail feathers and a lunar wolf would be cool.
A new region based on UK would be exciting… ( I live here, imagine a Pokemon version of London, Oxford and Edinburgh!!!) But somewhere like Italy or Greece would also be cool. I have a feeling, if an extension of XY’ it must be a European country.
Alternatively, given the whole story 3000 years ago with AZ, Azoth, the flower like ultimate weapon and the other unexplained mysteries of XY, it could be ancient Kalos. Which would make sense, if they’re trying to do something new.
Man, this doesn’t make sense. Where is the Z version? What about the Zygardes forms?
Ok, 3 years had passed and IS time of a new generation, but the 6th Gen feels incomplete…
For all we kno this IS the Z we’ve been waiting for. Just bc it’s in a way we never expected doesn’t mean it can’t happen. Maybe these two games tie everything up into a nice little bow hahaha
They had plenty of time to finish it. Gen 2 was supposed to be Gen 1.5 as a sequel so I’m guessing this will be Gen 7 but technically Gen 6.5 since Kalos has fed off of Gen 1 so much.
So little has happened today and it’s been real alive I wonder how busy tomorrow will be. I’m not gonna lie I’m very excited I just hope I’m not disappointed.
I really hope that tomorrow brings what everyone is hoping for. It would be terrible if all we get is some lame thing…..I don’t think it will be, but we won’t kno until then I guess.
Does anyone think the logos may tell us something? I mean the symbols. It’s the first time we’ve had symbols like that in addition to the writing bit, isn’t it? Maybe related to the new legendaries designs?
We haven’t had symbols since HGSS. Otherwise the version names were edited to match either game.
If this is Gen 7, then we better start guessing which new Pokémon will be in Smash 5.
The grass type. I hope we get a platypus and a dolphin.
It might skip a gen like brawl/gen 3 and smash 4/gen5
At first look I thought maybe ShinyXatu was right GF decided to connect between 6 and 7 gen.
-lately I thought many mythology talking about sun and moon like egyptian ,native american and sumerian.
– but most likely and after deep thinking we are still in gen 6 take a look at this norse myth:
In Norse mythology, Sköll is a wolf that chases the horses Árvakr and Alsviðr, that drag the chariot which contains the sun through the sky every day, trying to eat her. Sköll has a brother, Hati, who chases Máni, the moon. At Ragnarök, both Sköll and Hati will succeed in their quests.
According to Norse mythology the wolves Sköll and Hati are the one who represent pokemon sun and moon for me ….my theory is: actually Volcanion is the who represent these two so he would separated (de-fusion) for two pokemon one of them is a fire type(sun) and the other is water type(moon). https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/7b/93/bb/7b93bbbcd7a4af69434e8a9b066705c1.jpg

My Norse mythos is a little off but could you imagine Frost Giants Pokemon
Tell me if I am wrong but was Thor going to marry one of them, was that a different story
I want Thor to pound me with his hammer
Bro I think you may wanna skip that pounding
Make me bleed. Let him bash me in ? ?
I salute your admiration for the rough stuff
Wow what the actual f*ck guys.
You’ll get used to it. Who said I was a guy anyway. You trying to oppress me or something?
I agree–PJN After Dark’s back.

Behave.
Less than 11 hours to go. Time to get HYPED ABOUT A FIVE MINUTE POKEMON DIRECT!
I don’t remember when I was this excited.
Just after X/Y annoucement
I have that feeling where theres just a smidgen of doubt. I want this to be legit and i really feel it is…..but theres that small part of me that just says….. What if its not? Anyone else have this?
Nope
Well chicolombia, youhave confidence and so should i! I will believe like you do from here on!
Yay! 🙂 You won’t be disappointed tomorrow lol.
I think it’s the fact that nobody was expecting something that strayed too far away from the whole X2/Y2/Z/AZ set of options that this comes as such a surprise. I’m not doubting the information, as its been trademarked and there are logos, but it is quite a surprise.
We need to consider that The Pokemon Company has filed false trademarks before (Brown, Delta Emerald) but these are the first with actual logos. It’s possible that they were trademarked a day before to throw us off for tomorrow’s announcement, but I am fairly confident this is what we’re getting.
Yeah you are correct i should have more confidence. Also, DICIE! Its been 3 years how have you been?
It has definitely been long! It’s been busy for me, since I’m constantly balancing my schoolwork and clarinet playing. But I’m holding up well, even more so since the rebirth of this community has filled an empty spot in my heart. How are you? 🙂
Well ive been having a rough time settling down but its been stable for awhile now and dont have to worry if my current situation is going to hold, if that makes sense. But yeah, better, i certainly will try to be around more often.
It’s weird that I’ve been on this site for like 6 years now and I only know you guys through these anonymous accounts 😮
Its not really anonymous my name actually is Exeledus lol
Really? That’s an interesting name.
Yeah its my middle name, i made it up when i was adopted so they legally changed it. It was james but thats boring. Unless anyone here is named james then thats fine XD
That’s really cool actually 🙂 My name is boring…I mean I do share my first name with Santa Clause though but that’s where the interesting part stops haha
Kris?
Bingoooo
Ten points!
Yayyy!
St.?
That’d be a strange first name haha
Listen to me people!!!! This Pokemon sun and Pokemon moon are just johto remakes…… But it can’t be the 7 generation without a Pokemon z game.
It’d make more sense if they were Kanto or Sinnoh remakes..and they can’t be.
There’s really no logical reason why there would be another Johto remake (Heartgold and Soulsilver) and Junichi Masuda already stated last year that Pokemon Z would not be the next game, as they’re “always looking for ways to surprise people.” 🙂
There will NOT be a Pokemon Z, plain and simple. The notion that every generation comes with a third game has been thrown out the window since BW2. The old rules don’t apply anymore. GameFreak has stated AGAIN and AGAIN that they’re trying to be unpredictable. Z is the most predictable thing ever. They threw a curveball with BW2. I plan for them to do the same this generation, and this time it’s Pokemon Sun and Moon.
People really need to sit down and consider how closely XY and RB parallel each other. The forest at the beginning of the game are PARALLELS. You get the Kanto starters very early in the game. And so much more. GF has also said that they wanted to bring back the OLDER generation Pokemon fans, the ones that grew up with Pokemon RB, XY did that very effectively. Thus, it makes sense to go straight to Pokemon Sun and Moon. Direct sequels(maybe not story wise but in terms of release timing) to XY. These games are effectively the new Gold and Silver.
Pokemon Sun and Moon WILL bring a new story, region, pokemon, etc. BUT PEOPLE ARE MISSING THE FACT that YES, THE STORY OF KALOS SEEMS UNFINISHED. AND IT IS. BUT, that will be addressed in Pokemon Sun and Moon.
What they did was very clever. They intentionally left the story unfinished, that way there is stuff for us to do when we GO BACK to Kalos after, presumably, the new region part of the story is complete.
This new game IS in some form Pokemon Z. But it is also a new generation. It’s literally a hybrid, that nobody saw coming. And from a logical perspective, aside from all the evidence that was given to us in the past 24 hours, makes this legit.
This IS Pokemon Z, and this IS a new generation. It’s both
Well said! I think it clears up any further doubt about these titles.
Every time I see someone comment “but what about Z version” I want to throw up. Why would anyone want the same damn game, the only difference is a new boxart legend, a tweaked story, and previously inaccessible region.
This is why I think from now on, we won’t be getting that “third game”, GF has stated publicly that those don’t sell well. Plus, it’s too predictable.
I’m glad..I’d rather they make the best game they can the first time rather than drag us back to a nearly identical region just so they can do some things over. I don’t want any more remakes.
Agreed. They can still clear some things up about Kalos, Volcanion, Zygarde, etc. but presenting them in a way that isn’t a remake is ultimately more exciting.
Exactly. So Gamefreak, if you decide to you REALLY feel the need to take us back to Kanto or Sinnoh in the future…make it a new story, a new experience, something fresh and different. ORAS was beautiful and it’s definitely top 3 games for me but it’s just not quite as fun when you know pretty much exactly what’s coming next. Signed, a loyal fan.
The once exception that I have would be Diamond and Pearl. I think it’d be fair, since people like me got what they asked for with ORAS. (hoenn best region). But after that, if the technology is advanced enough, I would like them to make multi-region games the standard. I’m tired of leveling up to level 50 and completing the game. Give me an incentive to level up to 100, and that can definitely be done by adding another region, to the games.
Yeah I love the expansive post game Gen 2/HG&SS gave us but the level grinding was friggen terrible. Make me want to be the best! 😛
I loved Gen 2 post-game but hated B/W post-game. Unova is globally bad designed and so much linear…
” I’m tired of leveling up to level 50 and completing the game”.
I disagree. One of the most appealing Pokemon interest is in exploring a new region and new landscapes, discover new people and pokemon, train pokemon through exploration, but they have to make it more intense and deep. Last games were a bit annoying with no flavor in traveling through the region. They could really improve the different areas atmospheres, better think pokemon localisation considering environments, improve biotopes diversity and coherence (weather, day/night cycle …)
Yeah, just off the top of my head I’m thinking of third games like Emerald and Platinum which were indeed quite predictable and didn’t have major differences in the story. At least with two separate games, we might be able to explore Kalos through another kind of connection, and can be presented in a way that doesn’t just reuse what XY already put in place.
Your theory is interesting. I am excited about Sun and Moon being like Gold/silver after R/B, emphasizing day/night cycle, and the possible come back to Kalos after the Pokemon League (for example to get Zygarde cells all around the region…)
This is really well put 🙂
Dear gamefreak, if you lurk around any of these sites i hope you see we want a battle frontier. Thank you. Now back to Game of Thrones.
Sooooo. I am hoping that it’s not just about go, some other games and Super Mystery dungeon I would literally cap myself if that was the big reveal…..
Ugh i said it right as it was announced, i think pokemon go is a horrendous idea that needs to be canceled.
They wouldn’t market it as ‘big news’ if it was about the release date for go, and we just got a PMD game, I doubt they would do another one so soon. Although, a Ranger game would be AMAZING 🙂
I played both ranger games and liked them both. I remember liking the first one better but its been awhile so im not sure anymore.
There’s actually three but the last one was before 5th gen, I believe.
3D Ranger game, leggo.
The original Ranger game, Shadows of Almia?(i think) and Guardian Signs right? I never played Shadows of Almia asdfghjh but I would love a 3D Ranger game <3 But first a main series game please 😛
I played the first one then shadows of almia. I didnt even know there was a third
🙂
Smile
Smiles back! ^^
Yay!
I’m really excited about the upcoming news. Can’t wait!
😀
I’m bacccckkkk 🙂
Thanks for the kind words (you all know who you are)
Talk to you all tomorrow with the Direct! 😀
Oh, by the way, PJ loving the katakana Pokejungle 🙂 (I’ve been taking Japanese since I’ve last been here 😉 Only in 2, though, so don’t expect too much from me)
You missed when I accidentally missed a few things out and it read HokeJungle. 😉
I wonder if the games will be on 3DS or that new NX thing?
Well if our speculation is correct and these are the “gold and silver” of kalos, then i’d wager 3ds, for the same reason b2w2 were on the ds. They will want to cater to those who played x and y, so putting it on the same system is a no-brainer.
Hmm interesting theory. I would prefer a new region but that sounds also good!
Only 7 and a half hour till thr Direct.
I wonder what they can sneak in 5 minutes of Direct. That seems incredibly short if they wanna show:
* Release of Pokemon Go
* Release of Pokken Tournament on Wii
* Virtual Console releases reminder
* Trailer (hopefully not just teaser!) or Pokemon Sun/Moon/Z/whatever.
If they wanna pack in interviews of Game Freak employees, it’s gonna be a taller order than usual.
~there will not be Pokemon Go information
~ there will not be Pokken Tournament information
~ virtual console can be done in no more than 30 seconds
This direct will just be about Pokemon Sun and Moon. Just look at what they did for XY. It’s the same thing minus the whole timeline they did.
Ah good points. Very good points.
I just realized your profile is of Judy Hops! ?
Yes, it is! <3
Being from a country that showed the movie mid-Feb, I already enjoyed it.
I changed the avatar recently though. The previous Judy avatar had a weirder face. 😀
Not long to go now, can’t wait!
Here’s hoping they do actually announce somin new. And by somin new, I don’t mean potentially showcasing these new logos with “more info to come in March/April” cause that would just kill
The closer the broadcast is coming, the scarier I get about it being about something completely irrelevant…
We have to prepare for it
Plot twist, they announce Pokemon Zun and Moonz
Does Pokémon have any original idea?…I’ll just say Digimon Story: Sunburst and Moonlight.
Yeah Digimon claimed the sun and the moon so Pokemon will never be allowed to use it!!!
Come on, what does it matter?
The clock is ticking down now. Only a few more hours for something awesome or massive disappointment!
4 more hours to go! So excited. I’m a sucker for these big announcements. *_*
I cant believe the amount of comments. Also its great to see so many people I haven’t seen in ages back. Granted I haven’t been commenting as much but I’m still here stalking you all 😛 😉
The directs in 4hrs and ill be in work but please if anyone can somehow beam me the direct announcements telepathically please do. I wont survive not knowing haha.
