No, they won’t show us evolutions and such.
Found this not to long ago, and I personally wouldn’t mind if it were real, I kinda fell in love with that cute little pineapple Koala. =>
Probably isn’t real though. LOL But would be nice if it was. 😀

Ewww… faaake… fake. I hope it’s fake! ?
Yeah that was confirmed fake while ago. I don’t even think there’s a Pokemon Mexico account
Did they say anything about the little bird
I wanna be the very best Troll, like no one ever was… Game Freak song.
I think Masuda is all like : This is how you do April Fools bitches.
But okay, we got only 7-9 days till CC leaks. I will surivive.
Guys and gals… I tried to tell everyone to temper your expectations. 🙂
So much disappointment here even then. <3
But to be fair, we got even less than the 10-second Primals footage. 😀
I really dont like the “joke” about pokemon sun and moon having more then 10 new pokemon… has this something to do with the amount of new pokemons in the game?
Masuda was just messing around. He wasn’t going to give an actual number this early in the year. When he says “more than 10”, it’s most likely going to be 80-100 new Pokemon. I wish it was closer to 150, but for some reason I think that’s unlikely once again.
Yeah thats true. Im hoping for 120 new pokemon. Incl. Some new permanently evolutions. Excl. some new megas .but still his joke is somehow bothering me. it gives me a reason to think that there are not so many pokemons in this generation. perhaps even less than in the gen . 6
I think Sun and Moon will bring around 70 new pokemon. With XY ones, we have our full new generation
But you know that sun and moon are a new generation. Its not a gen. 6.5 of a black and white 2 sequel. This is gen. 7
tbh i took it as a joke recognizing how few kalos had and basically “there are going to be more than 10” meaning there wont be so few this time
That was my first thought too. Lets hope we get more pokemons this time.
Pokemon just has a really interesting marketing strategy. Most companies would be shaking in their boots thinking about going basically dark for a whole year… And yet Pokemon basically did that by not telling us about sun and moon until less than a year from their launch. They have a lot of faith that there’s a strong following (which there is) that’s gonna jump at any news. But it seems a little rude to me. We’re a dedicated fan base and should be treated to a little more for it. Repeating trailers, including jokes that almost mock our excitement, etc. I know there’s a lot of people at work at this company trying to make great games and please us, but like many have said, it’s gotten a little troll-like.
Anyways, can’t wait for corocoro and the games in general! Still hyped— despite a year of questions.
Well, if you’re been around the fighting games communities, you would know the massive trolling that comes from Capcom and Namco, particularly the directors of Street Fighter (Ono) and Tekken (Harada)?
Also at least it isn’t straight up abuse like EA and Square (in Deus Ex and delays on Final Fantasies) get around to.
Interesting. Yeah I didn’t know about those companies. I agree that sometime the fan base can be extreme, which would result in some people believing that no news would be better than news that either a) people will complain about. Or b) people will just want more. Always. But with Pokemon having a history of about one new game a year and then to just leave everyone in the dark for 2015 (if I’m remembering this correctly) it just seems, from a marketing standpoint) that on paper, this strategy would result in fans losing interest. No company would want to have their name be notoriously troll-freak on sites like this.
GF knows fans will all come back once info is out. They are just controlling the release of info, and the lack of it is making fans both angry and anxious. Their marketing team needs a bit more credit, they know what they’re doing… 😉
I agree. Like I’ve said before, they have a very interesting strategy. It’s somehow successful and any strategy could always be improved, and yes, it is ever so frustrating.
Sometime I think the fans don’t deserve news. They way they act and treat the gaming companies and directors. Not saying this to anyone specific, just a general statement about how the fan base reacts sometimes.
Also I kind of like Pokemon’s marketing strategy…keeping the secret hidden till reveal and not giving away too much in terms of story. Realistically the the only thing there really give us is a new Pokemon design and typing, the rest (stats, moves, ability e.t.c) we have to find out ourselves when the game comes out. It keeps the mystery alive.
Also, I agree that a game company has no obligation to give us as much as they did for x and y. But I would think an actual gameplay trailer would have been a smart thing to reveal recently since the games come out in less than a year. The hype is here and dedicated fans are really glued to sites like this, but less dedicated fans have probably forgotten. I can’t speak for anyone, but I know if I was a lot younger, Sun and moon would probably have left my radar by now. Heck that entire year of quiet from game freak could have led me to find a different game or games that keep my interest.
You mean the ones that give them money so they don’t go bankrupt?
I knew it.
I don’t even expect anything from corocoro.
I actually like silhouettes for trolling, people get creative trying to design characters based on those. <3
Even better. The protagonists WILL be the starters and you will pick a starter to battle the trainers against each other. Once they’re of age you can breed them.
You are evil or genius.
give link to the episode pls downloadable
It’s a black day for the Pokemon community 🙁
And for everyone wanting to know when Corocoro is releasing:
ALWAYS AROUND THE 9TH-12TH OF THE MONTH JUST REMEMBER IT ALREADY.
Wow I don’t know if people are being sarcastic or serious about Masuda saying more than 10 new pokemons you guys he said it laughing as a joke he can’t reveal to much info that’s his job and a surprise for us of course is more than 10 is a new generation. About the mega evolutions could it be real about the burst that they stopped making megas so they can bring the burst with pokemon.
Wat Masuda said about Pikachu?
It’s gonna be in the game. That’s it.
Oh good, I was scared he wouldn’t be
really?…..Have he ever not found in any of them ?
Well he was trolling. And that’s what he said in the show. Pikachu is gonna be in the game.
Not what we needed to hear, but that’s what he said. T_T
“More than 10” > Sun and Moon are released > there’s 12. The 3 starter families, the two box legends and Magearna > Troll Freak strikes again
I said this more the hundred time there’s no new starter in this game.
With a new gen comes a new bunch of starters.
it’s not a new gen bro.
Sorry to burst your bubble but it most definitely is.
really ?……..10 new pkmn wat the hell gen is that ..just use ur mind a little.
It was a joke, the show was just a trollfest
half-generation ? Both of you have right
I doubt a split gen, it’s just not GF’s style
why not ? And what do you think about starters ?
TBH Gamefreak hasn’t done anything in the past 3 years that is “GF’s style”
Man, I want leaks. Not visual leaks, that would be giving off way too much. I want leaks like back when the names “Malimar”, “Espurr”, “Meowstick” and “Pangoro” were leaked. It gave enough to start a conversation.
~the fact that people really think that there’s only gonna be like 15 new Pokemon~
Y’all dumb.
There’s clearly going to be 16.
-Starters & Evolutions = 9
-Main Legendaries = 3
-Sub/Event Legendaries (including Magearna) = 3
-Mega Milotic = 1
9+3+3+1=16
Idk what you’re talking about.
Mega Milotic <3
You're right though, that math adds up LOL.
i don’t trust you’re equation
Mega Excadrill would make more sense
I hope megas disappear
People saying that they dont want much revealed before release date, but then when they dont reveal that much those people get furious ?☕
Bae I love that you use the frog sipping tea emoji ❤️
Was I expecting much? No
Do I care? No
Honestly, I know that gradual info will start coming starting from this months Corocoro, so honestly, why are people complaining and panicking?
I also find it quite funny that people are getting so riled up about the whole “more than 10” thing that Masuda joked.
New Gen or not, we’ll get new Pokemon. If it was a continuation of Kalos and we got no new Pokemon, I would’ve thought we’d know about it, especially considering they made a point about showing the development and also the Pokemon model…
Had the craziest dream last night that Sun and Moon were released in stores, and I got to play the game without any prior knowledge… Picked Moon, and it was a dragon ice dark blue legendary, menacing, no wings,and the sun one was a older, friendly red dragon with massive wings ( dream imagination is limited). It was still great though… Then I woke up and remembered the dissapointment. It’s like even my dreams are trolling me. I don’t care about anything except for the region map, protagonists and legendaries, then I’ll be peaceful!

I just realized that it’s April, which means we’re only two months away from E3! It’s a bit early to get hyped, but I don’t like waiting. As a dedicated video game enthusiast, E3 Season is basically the most exciting time of the year for me. Anyway, are there any preliminary thoughts about hopes for E3 2016? For Nintendo, I think we can 100% guarantee that it will be better than last year. In fact, I doubt we’ll see an E3 as bad as that one for a long time. Now we’re dealing with the next generation of Nintendo hardware, Zelda Wii U, and Pokemon Sun and Moon. Even with what we already know is coming, this year is going to be great. I’m going to make some bold predictions right now as to what “new games”/tech demos we’ll see for the NX:
-A new 3D Mario. The developers of Super Mario 3D World have been working on a new project since at least 2014, and we can guarantee that this will be a next generation game due to Miyamoto’s hints. I’m picturing another spiritual successor to Super Mario 64, as Super Mario Galaxy was.
-Animal Crossing. Back at E3 2010, along with the reveal of the 3DS, a VERY early demo of Animal Crossing: New Leaf was shown off. This game didn’t release until June 2013. I’d say we can expect another tech demo for the NX, with the game possibly releasing in 2018.
-Kid Icarus. Just trust me on this one.
-A totally new IP. Yeah, I don’t think Splatoon is a one-and-done success. Nintendo is placing its focus on young blood to create new RPGs, platformers, you name it. No one will be able to predict what will fit in this slot.
Anything else you can think of? Do you agree with me? Let’s talk.
k.
I want my new Mario RPG
A new IP that is a carbon copy Paper Mario but none of that Papercraft crap
But this was my own game, Bowser Jr from the future (Who is clearly more competent then his now hilariously senile and crotchety father) time travels into the past to kidnap Mario and bring him into the future, with Mario out of the picture the mushroom kingdom is now under total siege. When Mario comes to The Bowser Empire has had total control for a solid 30 years, Mario must figure out how to stop the young prince, free the kingdom and return to the past to stop all this
Now this will feature Mario and a whole cast of freedom fighters who cling tenaciously to the dead hope that Mario will save the day, it will be a 3D Open World RPG, will all series of abilities and attacks, and as you hunt down the fragments of the Chronostar
Listen. 2015 wasn’t a bad E3 honestly it was quite well not saying it was amazing but it was good , Just because people didnt get what they wanted doesn’t mean it sucked at all, Maybe there is some people who was happy to AC amiibo festival or Federation force, We got new games from a company the still cares even tho a lot of gamers don’t care anymore better to see that then no games at all :/.
Heh heh. Unfortunately, people tend to equate “I didn’t get what I want” with “sucks”. But at least the market exists for AC Happy Home Designer, it was the top-selling 3DS game of 2015. And the fact that new sets of AC Amiibo are coming out means AC Amiibo Festival is enough of a success for them to persist.
Imagine an animal crossing for the NX and the NX has a vr headset and omg youre in the animal crossing world and umf <3
Um, I can’t see animal crossing working well with VR.
Um dont talk to me :'(
I don’t know I just can’t picture it. I like animal crossing in that bird’s eye view
yeah i guess youre right *sniff* 🙁
Yeah it would be kinda weird first person
Lame af at least use VR for something cool. VR is useless anyway.
At its current state, VR is like sticking your face dangerously close to a TV.
That’s all it is and all it will ever really be. It’s pointless imo
My E3 2016 wants: Mother 3 (or Earthbound 3, I guess), Pokemon Sun/Moon, Zelda Wii U/NX (I’m guessing they’re doing a Twilight Princess thing), a new RPG for Wii U that isn’t Idol Simulator 2016, a new Metroid game, and for gods sake give us an HD Animal Crossing game that isn’t Monopoly: Cashcow edition.
a new paper mario? oh wait…. the colors one….looks like another sticker star fail or a de blob meets paper mario.
maybe new mario party that doesnt suck
nx info with a possible smash re release on launch date cuz thats a rumor that i would love to be true with all dlc.
zelda hd
new xenoblade ???? which i dont think is happening soon…
the smtxfe details and release
pokemon sun and moon some kind of huge news would be cool
a starfox adventures game like dinosaur planet cuz this game is amazing imo
what i would die for is a new fe game that relates to Ike and maybe remake of roy’s game but thats cuz im crazy for fe.
now im off on a tangent of things i just want tbh lol.
golden sun cuz i love golden sun
new 3d mario game like sunshine 2 or something really good
new pokemon colosseum/xd game!!!! no battle revolution that got my hopes up as being a new colosseum/xd game and finding that it wasnt at all the same
maybe new pokemon snap, pokemon puzzle league, pokemon stadium (mainly for the minigames)
ok im done lol
Going off of the “new IPs” idea, I think we have a lot of material to work with. One of the thoughts that crossed my head was “will Nintendo try to make their own fps other than splatoon, as fps and open world games dominate the market nowadays.” Then I remembered Metroid Prime: Federation Force. Nintendo’s trying to move more into the mainstream, which is pretty cool.
Hi guys long time no see 🙂
i was just curious…is there a reason to believe that gen 7 region is to kalos as johto is to kanto…as in connected regions in a main series game? i keep seeing this but i personally dont wanna believe it. i love having connecting regions cuz it makes for a long game with a ton of content but i would hope for like gen 7 region and hoenn, but this wont happen because of oras or even sinnoh. im not much of a fan of regions passed sinnoh. i dont remember many unova places and kalos isnt very memorable…because i couldnt pronounce a lot of the towns
The only reason many people believe this, is all the unanswered questions of Kalos.
No, that’s not the only reason. Gen 1 primarily focused on pleasing Genwunners. Gen 2 was supposed be a sequel to Gen 1, so it’s probably that they’re going to recycle the Gen 2 formula since they reused Gen 1
Personally I thing the taunt in ORAS, of mentioning the battle frontier is under construction, might mean it will appear in the Gen 7 games :S
Corocoro soon….please please somebody leak it early
Prolly not for another 5 days son lol
