Here we go guys… 3 hours…
Soooo pumped. Also CoroCoro comes out in like 2 weeks. I need information!!!
I’m so excited. I’m gonna cry.
I know right? *hugs*
I’ll be at school, but I can watch it when I get back… Still, I can’t wait! It had better be something juicy.
What a lovely story it is:
In ancient times there were ten great sunbirds above the earth, each a child of Shangdi, and they would each take turns traveling across the sky as the sun. However one day they all decided to ascend at once, and they scorched the earth with their heat and brightness. Shangdi summoned the god Houyi to scare them away and save the world below, but they were troublesome and would not be quelled. So Houyi shot them down one by one, until only one sun remained. Shangdi was furious with the archer for killing his children, and banished he and his wife Chang’e to live on Earth as mortals.
Houyi sought the aid of Xi Wang Mu on mount Kunlun to restore them, and the goddess took pity on him. She had a single vial of the elixir of life, and she gave it to him, saying that “If you drink half of the vial, you will gain eternal life. If you drink all of it, you will ascend to the heavens as an immortal god.” Houyi took the vial home, intending to drink half and leave the other half for Chang’e, so that they might both live eternally on Earth. But Chang’e found the vial while he was out hunting one day, and drank all of it, curious about what it was. She immediately became weightless and ascended up toward heaven, returned to her godlike state, and Houyi was too late to catch her.
She flew up to the Moon, still banished from heaven, and lives there still with a great many white and jade rabbits as her servants. Houyi was murdered by his apprentice Feng Meng, who was jealous of the mastery of the bow which he could not achieve, and the spirit of Houyi ascended to the Sun and built a palace there. Now he and Chang’e share the sky, and like Yin and Yang they balance the world, though the Moon occasionally sojourns into the daylight sky to be with her husband for a time.
I give u up vote just for changing ur pic….congratulation.
Is this the story of PJ or something else.
What’s PJ and what’s something else? I don’t understand. You’re talking in mystery like you gaze with your mysterious eyes.
That’s the autumn festival/moon cake thing story, right?
We’ve been waiting for this day since September 2015 and it’s finally here. Let’s get blown away, shall we?
Let’s get fucking hype.
I’m so ready! Sooooooo sooooo ready!
143 freaking minutes left!!!!!!!!!!!
Please forsee the future xatu tell us what we want to hear haha
The graphics are going to be amazing, I feel like that one’s pretty much a given.
Anyoje have any last second theories/speculation?
We’re going to see at least a few new Pokemon, either starters, cover legendaries, randoms or all of the above!
I’ve made brownies for the occasion. At 3pm I will be sitting comfortably eating my brownies and then spraying brownie crumbs everywhere when the new games are announced and I scream the house down.
I hope the legendaries aren’t at battle with each other. In a lot of mythology the sun and moon seem to be like husband and wife and I kind of like that idea. That would open up some cool possibilities for their designs and lore
Exactly my thoughts.
My body is ready!
All we will be getting is the logos and the name 😀
Did anyone notice Junichi Masuda tweeted a picture of clear sky with the moon still visible and said
“The SUN is shining but the MOON is still visible ? ???
We definitely should have seen this coming. He tweeted that exactly a week before the Pokemon Direct was announced.
OMG SIMKENNO
It’s early for us Dicie, sleep 😛
:3
I’m off to school in an hour, lol.
Gotta start HYPE TIME early.
Nice 🙂 I’m sick and I couldn’t sleep any more, but I’m definitely not going back to sleep anytime soon! I won’t rest until the SUN comes up!
Dicie 🙂 How are you hope all’s well 🙂
I am so Excited, i could use solar beam right away~
Now, if only moonblast was in my movepool…
I decided to calm down and do not expect too much. The worst thing that could happen is to have X2/Y2-like games with no new Pokémon. I hope that I am wrong. Nintendo surprise me.
Smart attitude, no wonder I don’t have it. ^^
I already see VR glasses created to transport me into the world.
If Sun/Moon are the titles, we can absolutely expect new Pokemon. They’re completely original titles that do not have any connection to “X” or “Y” at all. Maybe the game will feature Kalos, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t partly or entirely a new generation.
I seriously hope it’s another Gen 2…
me too, and I also hope that they fix a bit the metagame with Kangaskhan (for example)
They better fix the damn meta.
Me too, and I have a good feeling about it. I would be fine if we get a focus on Mega Evolutions for Johto Pokemon this time around as well. Mega Ursaring needs to happen.
Mega Jumpluff/Bellosom
:O Bellossom evolves with the Sun Stone…
OH NO. Guess that means no Mega for it. *snaps *
I bet you that the Sun Stone and the Moon Stone will have awesome evolutions with a new duo, based on their respective games.
Plot twist, the legendaries will evolve with them. That or we’ll get info on where they came from/how they’re made.
Gallade evolves with a stone as well…
Steelix and Scizor also evolve with items so I’m not so sure the stone theory is valid any more 😛 (I’m sure some sarcasm was used though, I’m not sure too many people still believe it)
Gotcha lol haven’t been on in a while. Must’ve missed that.
I could be wrong, I just haven’t heard mention of it recently haha
I was joking. It’s an inside joke.
Ok lol I wasn’t mad or anything. Got it now, though.
Johto starters megas would be awesome
Mega Meganium! 😀 But I also think that Mega Flygon has to happen
I got CET and CST mixed up so I’ll be able to stream on the way to school. (if my carrier allows it.
What if they were to announce both Z and these 2 games? Like Z will be released this year but Sun and Moon will be next year or so. Its just a thought
We should be getting an official length of the Direct fairly soon. My bet is on 7 minutes.
Chill out with my favorite Pokemon tune until the future arrives…

Pokemon and Zelda, I tell ya…such amazing scores.
It doesn’t get much better than Nintendo music…I’m excited for what classic songs Zelda U will introduce when it releases later this year. OMG, we could get Gen 7 and Zelda U in the same year!
:O I hope they give us a release date for that soon!
I’m sure they’re going to wait for E3 at this point. I expect it to be their headlining first-party game, like Star Fox Zero was last year. We’ll definitely get the title there too!
Most likely. I’m not mad that it was delayed any more. I have so many games to play right now Dx
I think we should call this 6.5 if it runs the same engine as XY/ORaS or if can trade with XY just fine without the Bank. And has some connection to Kalos.
I think we should call it gen 7 if none of these are true.
If it has new starters and a new region it is a new generation. As simple as that.
But ( this is just what if) gem freak supposed U.S. and added new starters to Kalos? What would that be!
It is awesome, but y’know they didn’t add the new ORAS megas to XY, so I doubt that.
There’s always first times for everything though, so we’ll see.
Where is the direct airing anyway ? Youtube ?
There will be a stream embedded in this article for your convenience.
Just saw this on Twitter, but the sun creates rainbows and the moon creates tides. What did Lugia and Ho-Oh do again?
Highly doubt it’ll be anything exactly like Johto. Otherwise we wouldn’t have had access to them on ORAS.
I would be genuinely surprised if this game was at all connected to Johto.
So regardless if Kalos is in the game, will we see megas for the gen 6 starters?
Hope so!
Delphox could use some boosting..also a bit more interesting design/better in game model.
I think they should do Gen 2 and 4 first. Gen 6 are fresh and don’t need twitching at this moment, But I wouldn’t be disappointed if it does happen just want the others also to happen.
I agree, but given Greninja’s recent popularity I’d be kinda surprised if they didn’t. I really would love Sinnoh megas though. They’re my favorite set of fully-evolved starters.
Is it that popular? Had no clue. I assumed it cause of Ash’s Greninja happening.
I die to see Monferno, Feraligatr and Empoleon megas.
Eh it kinda is popular, at least more so than the other two.
And I think you mean Infernape xD
30 MINUTES UNTIL DOOOOOM
30 minutes until I can’t watch it-yay.
