A Japanese trademark filing has revealed potential names for the mascot Legendaries of the upcoming 3DS titles Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon; “Solgaleo” (ソルガレオ) and “Lunaala” (ルナアーラ) were both submitted for registration.
Solgaleo definitely seems to combine sol/solar with something, possibly “leo” for lion.
Lunaala we are still researching, but the base of luna/lunar is evident.
UPDATE: A working theory is that this could be hinting towards Sun and Moon being based in Spain. In Spanish “luna” means moon and “ala” means wing, thus Lunaala could be some sort of winged Legendary. “Sol” also means sun in Spanish and “león” means lion. Back in 2014 game director Junichi Masuda visited Spain in person and reported the trip on his blog. Coincidence?
A third trademark filing was for “Gigareki”, but it is unknown whether or not it is related to the two, the name of a Pokémon or an entirely separate product.

In lighter news
All this bovine and goat talk has got me a’thinkin
Are anyone familiar of the Nerubian Ibex breed of mountain goats? I can easily see a Normal/Rock Mountain Goat with impressive stone spire like antlers, with these powerful antlers they viciously challenge one another to duels on mountain peaks for supremacy
And their main ability is Rock Head and Reckless with all sorts of powerful moves such as Double-Edge and Head Smash, Megahorn and many more (Most likely Wild Charge via TM)
This would be so badass! Omg!
http://youtu.be/SI307EWVtNc
Or it isn’t rock, ya know not everything is rock/ground
The winged moon Pokemon seems even more reinforced by the symbol in the logo, very winged. Not sure how I’d feel about another fire lion, or rooster, but a griffin would be cool 🙂
I read in YouTube comments a lot of people thinking they are Lugia and Ho-oh
As in like in primal form? I’d be disappointed if it is another remake
Yeah, maybe new forms. I personally don’t think these games are related to Johto or any other previous game except XY. But who knows, like Jon Snow, we know nothing xD
Absolutely no more primal Pokemon
Half the time they have no idea how primal reversion really works
Well they are dumb, everyone knows that the Legendary Birds are the Guardians of the Sky and Sea
Ho-oh is the rainbow Pokémon, connected to the light and the sun. Lugia is the guardian of the sea, the sea is connected to the moon because of the tides.
Yeah that don’t make themselves relevant to sun and moon
True, but let’s assume (never ever assume) these trademarked names are 100% authentic. Lugia and Ho-oh’s Japanese names aren’t even these. I would love to see something new with them but if it isn’t the time and place for it, then there’s no need. Frankly, I don’t see a need for some Lugia and Ho-oh related.
Should we look at these again? Honestly, these statues remain very intriguing even after how long we’ve known about them
The one on the left is Manectric, the one on the right is a guy. Don’t know what the one in the middle could be.
Nah. Manectric has his middle head spike and two ears to the left and right. Look it up
It does but it looks so much like manectric other than the head that it cant be a coincidence.
Manectric’s tail looks different, too. But it could be an abstract or rough but not exact representation
That’s what I was thinking.
The left one is Zygarde’s dog form.
Ehhh I wouldn’t think too much onto this one
Sure plenty of unanswered questions (Like I’m interested why the Parfuum Palace has a Golurk, Palpitoad and a Eevee statue)
But it could just be a red herring or some Kalosian artwork
They still just look like arbitrary statues for the sake of background design to me.
More importantly what about the huge dragon in Drasna’s chamber?? That thing is just begging to be a massive draconic legendary if you ask me.
Anyone pointed out that Solgaleo also sounds like a broken form of Galileo? Galileo the astronomer -> astronomy -> study of celestial bodies -> like the sun 😀
Also Gigareki sounds Earth-y to me, to complete that trifecta of Sun, Moon and Earth.
It was pointed out some time ago but yes the trifecta is evident and ties it all together.
Yeah I got word it was pointed out by my bestest fren evaa :DDDD
I’m just sitting here waiting for an actual poison-type legendary. Arceus with the Toxic plate doesn’t count
Toxigeddon a unholy Pokemon created from the careless humans dumping contaminated wastes into the ecosystem
Poison/Ground
A massive corrupted landmass with vile oozes and smog pouring from the smokestack like pores on its back
The pollution created this undesired life and its causes nothing but destruction
Love that idea
Poison/Steel legendary, It is a cage. Fairies cannot escape its wrath.
Watch them release the box legends in a few days like they did the titles after they were registered, and the next Corocoro rehashes the exact same thing promising more in the next issue.
Hey Wes, where are Nort, Sout and Eas? >.<
I’m embarrassed to say that took me too long to get. :p
I’m kind of expecting it haha
I wouldn’t complain about that. At least we got something.
If that were the case they would’ve released them last month when they were trademarked. They were just discovered overy the course of the last few days.
You say that as a joke, but it’s quite probable.
A lot of people think that Solgaleo is a reference to Galileo, a sun, and a lion. When I first saw this name, my initial thought was that the ‘gale’ part of the name might be a reference to a solar wind lion. Maybe the Pokemon has something to do with solar winds?
For every comment after this one that mentions the correlation between Galileo and Solgaleo, I will fucking kick a baby or something (not literally speaking but you get the point). Everyone’s comment is exactly the SAME.
This also applies to mentions of “sol” being spanish for sun and “ala” for wing.
Sol is Spanish for Sun and Ala is Wing. And Galileo and Solgaleo, Astronomy and stuff, full circle! Woo! Oh and Leo means it is a Lion don’t forget that. Etc. etc. etc.
I love/hate you
Aww I appreciate it. haha ;p
Give into the rage
Everyone are mindless sheep falling for any idea presented
Did you know that ala in Spanish is wing and sounds sun? Also Galileo was a world renowned Italian astronomer who…… [filler].
*goes to kick my son (I call him sun bear lol humanoid sun legendary confirmed)
*son dodges – Zen Headbutt!
it’s look fake but make sense. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1461188658886.jpg
Yeah I’ve seen that fakemon on DA before. I don’t remember who the artist is, but that’s definitely fake lol
bleeehhh no
oh yes.
It’s gross though
wat is it ?……and how was that?
That’s Rayquaza right?
Does it match the box image?
Also in Italian Luna means moon and ala means wing and sole means sun and leone means lion. So what?
Guys guys… Redbull te da aaaalas
It gives you wings….omg the moon legendary!
Please give me the moon angel pokemon I’ve wanted since SuMo were announced
One moon angle sumo coming right up
wait what
I will PM you something
I’m reading the Pokémon Adventures manga and all I can think about is how many pokémon still don’t have evolutions, or the third stage evolution. I’m all in about the mega-evolution but I would like more the regular evolution, like in Tauros and Milktank, or Ariados or another three houndred XD Please, no more silly megas like Mega Audino.
http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/degrassi/images/2/24/Phoebe_stop_the_madness.gif/revision/latest?cb=20140201070335
Not every Pokemon need an evo or pre
Some just work for it
Come on, just give kangaskhan its pre evolution, it’s right there!
It’s not an evo, it’s just younger
Lunaala = Lunar + Koala
Moon koala legendary confirmed.
Koalas are nature’s quitters
I was joking, besides koalas may be cute but they’re stupid.
They only eat eucalyptus leaves from the tree. if it’s on the ground or on a plate, and it’s given nothing else it’ll starve.
And the sheer fact that eucalyptus leaves provide literally no nutritional value and are even poisonous, so yeah they’re not fit to do anything
I wouldn’t be surprised if the next gimmicky Pokemon was a koala. It might have something really cool, with tons of potential, but its stats may not even make it to the meta game.
http://rebrn.com/re/koala-getting-first-class-service-in-flight-14023/
“Koalas brains are so small that they literally don’t think. If you put eucalyptus leaves on a plate and put it in front of them they won’t know what to do with it”
Once again fake dexes
http://boards.4chan.org/vp/thread/26013495/mr-sun-moon
Get em while they’re fake
Those names made me nauseous

You know you want this bull starter:
http://orig05.deviantart.net/debd/f/2011/212/3/1/fakemon_starters_final_stages_by_xous54-d428l9v.png
The water one looks like Coballion, the grass looks too Yu-Gi-Oh, and the bull I like but I feel like it’d have a lot of furry fan porn.
Can’t see how that antelope is a water type. The Minotaur is sick though. Idk what to make of that lizard.
It looks like it is based off a water deer tbh
For once in my life I don’t want a bipedal Minotaur
I just want a magnificent bulky Fire Bull, massively bulky frame of a dark Crimson coloration, dark grey horns, burning eyebrows and fire running down its spine, flame decals and I guess with his animation its snout would expel a burst of steam and flames
the more anger this Pokemon feels the stronger its fire burns it can easily derail a locomotive with one Headbutt, easily angered these Pokemon burn off power by bashing into rocks and trees until fully burnt out
Like a fire Tauros or Bouffalant?
Just a fun speculation:
What if there was a Normal-type Eeveelution named Eeveon, and it’s the only one with a Mega Evolution? Eeveon may have Simple with the hidden ability of Normalize (or vice verse), and Mega Eeveon will have the ability Protean. Keeping in mind it has a fairly decent access to almost every damage type, including the types for the existing Eeveelutions.
Just think about it.
My goodness I thought about this earlier when I was throwing plush pokeballs at pokemon plushes with my son. He threw one at Eevee and I was thinking about an Evo and mega with Multitype or Protean.
Just a fun speculation:
What if there was a mega Milotic?
Just think about it.
Even more fun.
What if they’re done with Megas to focus on new Pokémon and Milotic will never get a Mega?
Just think about it.
Well they coooould add some more unova Megas
Every region needs a small handful
Not hoenn they got more then anybody
Stop being so greedy
Let other Regions have some Megas
Sinnoh and Unova have so little while Hoenn has so many, I doubt we’ll even get any more for them since we just were there
Battle frontier.
Think.
Amazing.
Battle Cafe
I’ve tangled with Mega Eeveelutions and I feel since Eevee has such an unstable genetic code it will never peg down a true mega form,
Or maybe finally stabilizing with one? 😉
I just reclaimed Pearl (and got Diamond as as well), and I have SoulSilver on the way. My goal of collecting all mainline Pokemon games before Sun and Moon just became much easier. I’m SO excited to explore Sinnoh again!
I restarted Diamond but it’s hard for me to get into old games once I’ve beaten them. When I was little it was easy to restart Yellow or Crystal but it was because I didn’t have much option and I couldn’t just run out and buy a new game when I felt like it. So when it was video games, it was watching or playing Beyblade or watching the X-men TV series.
I understand that. Unless you have an extremely strong attachment to a game, replaying it can feel like a slog. But for me, Pokemon is infinitely replayable (especially Gens 4 and 5). I felt so much regret about giving away my old Pearl the instant I gave it away, so having it back in my library makes me feel like a kid again. That’s all that matters, in the end.
I would love to replay Pokémon Ranger but I let a friend borrow it and I never got it back. 🙁
Hunt him down and kill him
That’s kinda excessive. 😀
Hunting is ok, but taking the game back should mean all is forgiven right?
Like a Living dex? Join the club!
My guess / hopes are that Solgaleo will be a Fire/Fairy Leo / griffin with a fiery mane representing that of the sun, Lunnala will be a Ice/Fairy Pegasus with Crystal or ice crescent shaped wings representing that of the moon and the third trip legendary will be a Electric / Fairy centaur shorting electric arrows having a star theme to match that of the sun and moon and would make sense since it would be both a astrological sign Saggitaruis and constellation as well as a mythical creature to complete the trio. Once again that’s just my theory / hopes.
Enough of the damn fairies
How could a Griffin be a Fairy seriously Griffins are just so beyond the fairy type
And the Pegasus gets a half pass and that’s it
They are fairy-tale/mythical creatures, why should they not be fairy?
It’s worth notting that the starters base for their names add up with these:
Not sure if you’re serious or not but the owl is fake.
Was that confirmed?
Yeah. Like when BW 2 was in Corcoro
Well yeah that other grass owl was lol But has this particular owl bee confirmed fake? ‘m not saying it’s real, but I was just wondering in particular case. The thing about wishes for stuff to be in the games is if everyone wishes enough or comes up with enough ideas at least one of them is bound to end up being real. If we get a grass owl (whether it’s the starter or not) it will have been a long time coming in reference to what people have been saying all these years lol
Yes. Because it’s the same damn owl I’ve been on here since BW 2 so Ive seen some of the same damn fakes that have been confessed to be fake. The only difference between this owl and the other owls is the fact that it has been laid out on a screen shot differently.
I am serious, why?
IT’s the one thing, that
a) hasn’t been obviously faked as it has a lot of detail. Matches up with how the unova starters got leaked. Granted it could be a copy cat, but still has good work put in.
2) None of the mons pictured have been found, and considering one user on 4chan purposely goes about making fakes, that’s pretty good. It also came from 2ch which is where most legit leaks come from.
It could still be fake, but as I said, the comparisons are interesting…
That rockfish thing is ugly as shit
It’s meant to be a fire starter. Seems rabbit like, if I had to guess. If real, I’m sure it would look better.
In what way do those look like a cat and a sea lion?
And a crow lol
Well to be fair at least this pic kind of looks like a bird. That’s close enough right? lol
If it was a water/flying owl, I’d name it Moist Owlet
No. Just… No. That’s too punny.
Phunny
These are what one guy claimed. No context was given in the tweet, so it appears to be a guess. But that’s not my reasoning. The words that make the supposed starter’s names in Japan, are different then the guy claiming the animals, but they could still match up. Anyway:
Grass: The words come out as Tree Owl. There are two species that fit this and match the “leaked grass owl.” Those are the literal grass owl, and the barn owl.
The Fire one apparently had a complex set of Japanese text. People were interrupting it as Fire, and cat, but it was hard to pinpoint the base apparently. If these are real, the fire one, could be a rock and fire cat like creature. Only the face is cat like though, but we don’t have full proof towards cat, so it’s hard to say.
The water one comes out to Round Seal(Or Ball, forgot which). Meaning it’s a creature like the water one there, which isn’t fully detailed, but it could definitely fit that description. I could also see sea lion to, as it kind of looks like a baby one that’s colorful.
That’s Corsola and Grotle.
HEH HEH HEH.
Everyone is making it sound like Entei will be the Sun legend…
That’d be so gay-t! Make suicune the moon legend.
I mean, a fire lion thing…
I think it’s actually a lion dog thing. It’s cute though
I really would not mind a series of Legendaries based off of constellations.
I have a really good feeling that there will be a trio based off of this. I don’t think it will be the main mascots but maybe a trio who knows!!
Me too ….I mean I hope that……..but…….
I want a belt pokemon for Orion’s belt : )
Id always have uranus 😉 😉
Ever watch brickleberry?
They invented a beautiful phrase
“Jupiter Fisted to death”
Jesus haha thays gas
I keep hearing that Ho-oh and Lugia might be involved with Sun and Moon in some way
And the bile in my throat forces me to say that will never freaking happen
Ho-oh spends its time circling the globe while Lugia is at the bottom of the ocean, that is all, this isn’t even about Sun and Moon, they just want damn Megas or Primals, which just does not have any significant reasoning to be in sun and moon outside the drooling greedy fanbase
We have ZERO LEGIT INFO,
Anybody watch tyranitartubes video about the names? Gave a shout out to pokjungle!
me.
I’ve lost interest in PokèTubers. They cry on twitter too much.
Some are really dumb
Not really surprised. PJN is actually relatively well-known in the Pokemon community, but the reason why it’s not mentioned nearly as often as say Serebii or ‘Beach is because PJN isn’t a dedicated news site, in other words there are lots of speculation and side articles, unlike Serebii which in reality is more like a database.
Serebii didn’t talk about wat the name mean but we did and that’s y.
I don’t care what their names are as long as the moon legend is a wolf
It cant be if it goes with the name. Ala means wing in spanish :/
These names aren’t trademarked by The Pokemon Company, Gamefreak,or Nintendo so their’s still a huge chance these aren’t the names
Oh well then I hope it’s not a wolf >:(
A winged wolf maybe? Its Pokémon, after all..
