As promised our live coverage of the Japanese Pokémon Variety show Pokénchi is here! This episode is set to air the first Pokémon Sun & Moon footage presented by Junichi Masuda.

We’re not 100% sure if we will receive completely new footage from the episode or if it will be a televised airing of the reveal trailer from February. Stay tuned!

      • Still hoping for a bear fire starter…. I’d been be okay if the bear turned Fire/Fighting although I’d love it to be Fire/Dark

    • People need to stop comparing a new generations footage to ORAS’ footage. It’s completely different and you know this. Even if they only were to show a cinematic of the legendaires like they did with ORAS that would still mean NEW legendaries. ORAS was a remake of an old game so there really isn’t a whole lot you can say is “brand new” Any actual footage we get from Sun and Moon would be better than that other time.

      • my point wasnt that they didnt reveal anything. obviously oras are remakes we know what groudon and kyogre are. my point is the length of the “footage” not the content

        • You never said anything about the length of it…..lol Anyway even if it’s 5 seconds it’s better than nothing right? lol

          • well yeah lol i was just questioning why theres so much hype. even if we get absolutely nothing, its the beginning of april. the real corocoro news is coming really soon

          • I think people are just lost and need a light at the end of the tunnel so they grasp onto anything they can lol

    • There’s not any ‘hype’, in fact, I’d argue there isn’t any due to the comments on this page!
      I’m not super hyped, I just feel like they are going to show something, anything. It doesn’t make sense to just show the reveal trailer when Masuda and some other people are coming onto the show. It just doesn’t to me.

  2. I have a bad feeling about this……*sigh*…..well at least my expectations were lowered before this happened. I was so ready to be hyped, but now I just don’t know….lol

    • Well all they’ve actually said was they were gonna show the first tv aired footage of Sun and Moon.It’s the pic from the tweet they sent out that makes people think it’ll only be the direct footage. I guess we’ll see if they throw us a bone or not.

  3. Ohhh man I really want them to show something new before Corocoro ,does anyone remember waiting so much for new info because it feels like an eternity since trailer.

    Reply
  4. Oh boy, I can’t wait to see the reveal trailer from a month ago and absolutely nothing else! I really hope that’s not what happens, because we’re getting close to CoroCoro.

  5. “Oh my gosh!! the TV premiere of something that we’ve already seen and known about, ooohh”.
    I’m not sure why we should ever expect anything out of this garbage show anymore. I can already tell you how this episode’s gonna go. 5 Bucks says they spent 95% percent of the episode doing all their random games/bullcrap as always, then the last 5 minutes or so when Masuda and co. shows up they start orgasming over him then they freak out at every little thing in that trailer that we’ve already seen.

    • To be fair the show isn’t meant to show exclusively main series game footage…..it’s a variety show that will just so happen show something possibly new on the games. It doesn’t have to do anything.

      Reply
      • Well yeah I know that, I’m just speaking specifically to the fact of showing something that we’ve already seen.

        Reply
        • Well even if they show us the teaser trailer form the direct maybe with the 3 directors on they can shed a little light on what we saw in the trailer. There’s still plenty to be mined from the original trailer. It’s just too brief and blurry to mean anything to anyone who doesn’t already know.

          Reply
    • No but it’s fun to wonder and guess and have something to be excited about. And if there isn’t anything new showed, then we deal with it then. Wont know until we actually see, right?

      Reply
    • It’s something.
      I know we probably won’t get too much considering CoroCoro is coming, but it’s potentially something that could have some news before CoroCoro leaks.
      I’m hoping something will happen, that’s all.

  6. Just putting this out there, people doubted anything would happen on the Pokemon Direct announcing Sun and Moon.
    I’m just saying.
    We won’t know until it happens.

  7. X and y trailer was 1:23 and it showed us protagonists new routes starters and new stuff so there’s always that hope

    Reply
    • Even if it’s a few seconds of starters or legendaries or whatever, it’ll make me content until CoroCoro, when I KNOW that news will happen, since they promised it last issue.

      Reply
  8. It’s gotta be something, since the original trailer was a while ago, so they’ve probably had several episodes where they could have already shown it. Plus why would Masuda and two of the top Game Freak people be on the show just to re-show a trailer?

  9. Since when does this show exist and since when does it reveal Pokemon news? I’m a little bit sceptic, but let’s hope we get something!
