Pokémon Sun & Moon info coming May 10!

The official Japanese Pokémon site has updated with news that information about the upcoming Nintendo 3DS titles Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon will be announced on May 10th at 21:00 JST (check what time it will be for you HERE).

We can only speculate about what information is coming; perhaps it is an announcement of the date we’ll actually be getting new info.

  1. Trailer which shows a random gym or two, a random route, a random city, and the three starter Pokemon in battle. Ends with boxart reveal and the Japanese and Western websites going live with all the art.

    Alternatively: Uncharted 4 and Pokemon Sun & Moon crossover announced. Use the special (insert legend name) revolver or the (insert other legend name) machine gun on Uncharted multiplayer using a preorder code. Unlock Drake’s outfit in SM, or Elena’s for female players.

    • Not quite yet. It could be a boxart + an announcement of a trailer announcing that CoroCoro will have boxart and a huge scoop announcement for next month.

  2. We still have a long time before the games are released so I think that showing the legendaries, the starters, 2 or 3 random pkm and some random cities/routes is more than enough for us to last 2-3 months.

  3. Hmmmmmmmm WAIT A MOMENTO
    Corocoro don’t do Silouettes
    If this is some kinda website leak, they have authority to do Silouettes while Corocoro will most likely fill in the blanks

  4. I really hope our character can be fully customizable. XY was a good start on that, but I want a beard in game too.

  5. Probably it’s some text info announcing a screenshot, announcing a date, announcing a trailer, announcing some gameplay to announce…

    (drum roll)

    Magearna special move. lol!!!!!

  6. Yeah I definitely see a trailer coming our way. I wonder if it’ll be in line with the original XY trailer where it shows the starters, some game play, and teases the player characters. I imagine they’ll show the legendaires as well. Maybe a bit more fleshed out than Xerneas and Yveltal were in the XY trailer lol

          • I know this is probably going to upset you, but I just thought I’d offer my opinion (not that its worth anything to anybody lol) but I think that a fire bull coming so soon after the fire pig is probably not going to happen. That’s not to even mention the Nyabby trademark (which may in fact mean nothing). If the fire bull became a minotaur (not saying it has to, but I think you’ve talked about it before) it would bear a lot of resemblance to Emboar… a pig with tusks and fire or a bull with horns and fire… just seems a little too similar. We’ve had a dragon looking creature, a porcupine-esque or weasel ‘mon, a chicken, a monkey, a pig, and a fox… all with very different designs. Just thought I’d offer this up if you wanted to discuss, otherwise, whatevs. I know you’re married to the idea, but just thought I’d offer another opinion…

  7. I feel like Nintendo us just trying to get ahead of the leaks with this announcement. Not that I’m against that, but it seems odd to me that they would make some news announcement right around the time corocoro usually leaks

  8. Honestly, as much as I don’t wanna get excited, there’s nothing wrong with this. I mean, it’s new information. I don’t cRe what it is I just want to know what these games are gonna be like!
    Let’s gooooo it’s hype season y’all

  9. The alleged mascot of Pokémon Moon’s name is not actually pronounced the way it’s spelled. If you look at the katakana of it’s Japanese name you’ll see that ルナアーラ in romaji would be Ru-na-ā-ra. It’s pronounced as Luna-Ala, meaning Moon Wing.

    Reply
    • yeah, but they might just combine the two words for the name of the pokemon. or they might make it “Lunala” in the english version only. It’s a small change that could maybe still happen even to legendary names that usually don’t change much globally. ♥

      Reply
    • The official English is probably still Lunala for ease of pronunciation. They do this vowel contracting all the time with the non-legendary English names.

      Reply
  10. It won’t happen, but I’d actually like it if the mascots were switched in terms of what gender is stereotypically associated with the sun and moon. Give me a badass, fierce feminine looking sun mascot and an elegant male guardian angel moon one (The first thing that comes to mind is somin like MagnaAngemon/Seraphimon)
    I mean they could be totally androgynous which I’d also be cool with, but I think it would be pretty cool to see a more original concept

    Reply
  11. Hopefully whatever’s revealed will be cool enough to make up for the salt of Nintendo’s E3 abandonment.

    Reply
    • Why would anyone be even sour at the E3 abandonment. By announcing and showing their NX in their own press conference between E3 and Gamescom, they take all the spotlight instead of sharing it with others.

      Reply
      • Because for all these years E3 was one of the biggest things to get hyped for all year?
        Being a Nintendo fan they were always the star of the show for me anyway, so this 100% a loss. I understand E3 seems to be slowly dying by itself, but how can you not understand it’s more than a little gutting for many people that a big event that always delivered amazing news is going away? The good old days of Nintendo press conferences are already far away, but the spirit was still there in essence and it was still hugely exciting. E3 was like christmas or halloween, a fixture that promised great things. All through my teenage years it’s been there to brighten exam period, and then the one year my exams are early, It’s basically GONE :'( . Zelda looks cool and all, but just Zelda is not really enough compared to what we’ve had historically. A lot of people were expecting Nintendo to bounce back this E3 after last year’s dismal performance, with a huge NX blowout. Nintendo killed that hope out of nowhere, and it’ll be the first big console to shun E3 completely in a while. Now sure, things change, and that’s fine. But being sad and somewhat sour in the immediate aftermath is a logical reaction. I can totally get why some people are hyped that the big N are doing things themselves, but I think I’ve made a pretty comprehensive case for why being salty is totally warranted.

        I’d love if Nintendo brought back Space World, but since they’ve recently mostly been putting out arguably bad news, I’d rather not get my hopes up to that unlikely possibility. Nintendo going mostly radio silent save for Zelda in the short run was always gonna be jarring at this point because the opposite was expected. I hardly think Nintendo is doomed or headed for great harm in the long run, unless they cock-up the NX launch (which knowing them is to be fair a possibility, but hopefully unlikely). From their behaviour it’s reasonably being inferred that they haven’t got much to show apart from NX stuff, and since that’s staying under wraps and coming out next yearn, things are looking relatively sparse until then. It’s simply in the short term that us fans are headed for a dry run when we were expecting the phoenix to rise anew. Of course it’s going to make us disappointed.

        • I’m sorry for your nostalgia, then.

          A lot of nostalgic things in video games are long gone, however. Gametrailers, Gamepro, Nintendo Power, Super Battle Opera… now maybe E3…

  12. I’m glad we’re finally get news!!!!!! The only thing I hate right is everyone is going to try and milk this announcement of us getting news on the 10 for actual news like the poke tubers and news articles, like come on y’all can’t hold on until the 10 to give your audience actual news ( I’m not counting websites like pokejungle or serebii ect cause they just state the point and not make a full length article or a 5 to ten min video)

    Reply
  13. Arceus has finally blessed us with news. I’m assuming the CoroCoro will recap or add additional information to the news on the 10th. I’m still aiming for Trainers, Main Legendaries, and the Starter. I’m feeling the region map might be shown off, who knows? I’m utterly glad were going to get some news after being in the dark for about two, three months now.

    Reply
    • If it wasn’t the 20th Anniversary, they would of honestly I think announced the games in April or May. The only reason they did it in February was because of the 20th. Today on “Serebii makes you feel old as hell”, I was reminded of how ORAS was revealed 2 years ago to the day. And BW was also revealed in April of 2010, and the big news came a month afterward.

      Reply
  14. I’m sure Solgaleo, Lunaala, Mokurou, Nyabby and Ashimari are the legends and starters, like I’m pretty positive, but what if they’re legends and a Mythical trio instead? As long as there’s a bird starter.

    Reply
      • It could be, but then it wouldn’t be a starter. All starters are primarily the colour of their element (green for grass, red for fire and blue for water). The woodpecker is red, black and White. The red colour means it could be the fire starter, but then the name and basis don’t make sense.

        Personally, I think that the woodpecker is the new regional bird, and Mokuroh will be the grass starter.

        Reply
          • They did, it’s at the very end of when they showed it in the trailer. It was only shown in colour from the back though.

          • nope, dude this is Maya software the selection surface tuning red …..I know its face is white but the rest of its body didn’t confirm yet cuz grey is the standard color in Maya.

          • Oh okay, I didn’t know that. I still say it’s most likely the new pidgey, but it could be the grass starter.

        • I will throw in GF said they were going to be less predictable so they could throw curve balls with anything.

          Reply
          • They did, but it seems like a very odd thing to change. Starters are iconic of their generation, and they are the first Pokemon of their type that new players see. It’s easiest for them to work out types if they’re colour coded.

          • True, I’ve been told by Shady that what we saw might not be the actual colours. It doesn’t look like a crow (the beak is too small) or owl though, assuming the leaked names are true. I’ll be very happy if it’s confirmed to be the grass starter, but personally I think it’s more likely to be the new regional bird.

  15. My bets since Masuda retweeted all announcements, said thanks for waiting, and look forward to this big news, is:
    That we get an overworld trailer similar to the XY announcement. All trademarked mons turn out to be for pokemon as speculated. We get the legends, and starters, and then a random new mon that will be named after the last trademark no one speculated on. Not marshadow but the other one. Though if marshadow’s a normal mon, I could see it showing up. CoroCoro gives us the same info, with some hints to what it all means. Also region is confirmed.

    Reply
    • I thought the same thing. They jointly revealed starters and legends last time, and that is seeming to be the most likely scenario this time as well.

      Reply
    • Yeah i think the same!
      Its going to be a lot o news(cause we have like a bird and a hotel?) and then a dry phase…
      And a think coro coro will hint a type reveal for the next issue!
      I guess the trailer will have a release date!
      On xtmas? ?
      So, its
      Gonna be on the 10th at 21:00 in japan?
      Humn… 09 am here in brasil…. Cool!

      Reply
      • Yeah, the bird might show up as well. I think release will be November. I doubt they release it before Black Friday as that’s a major sales holiday.

        Reply
        • I’m going to go with November 25 in most countries including the United States (the last Friday in November), and possibly December 9 for Europe. These dates seem traditional and expected for the series.

          Reply
          • This could work, around Black Friday, and before Christmas. It could fit well. We will probably get the actual date on Tuesday.

        • Watch them delay it to Mid-January, where there’s no sales what soever.

          That way, people will want to buy it, so they’ll pay the full price.

          Reply
          • Brand new games are typically marked down for sales until a month after release. If there is any sale, it’s a BOGO “% off”, “$__ off”, or “bonus sticker” or something. November/ October is the most likely launch.

          • Nah they wouldn’t do that. It be a bad business move, they’d lose money that way.

  16. In the last part of Masuda Tweet he wrote “ciao” in italian: the translations were made by Masuda himself. He translated all the message in english except for the “ciao”. The Japanese kana used (チャオ) are the exact transcription of the italian “ciao” [chao]

    • Amateur game contest… It seems like someone in the studio probably developed it themselves and are associated with GameFreak. They might have hired that guy based on the picture with working on that game. His name is Mr. K and he was working on the game for that contest before GameFreak hired him, hence why this footage was from 2015.

      • I feel the same way. It’s getting more difficult for me to just sit down for hours and play a game. It’s certainly a depressing feeling, but I’m convinced it’s a phase.

        Reply
        • Well you should try something different for once, cuz clearly we ain’t getting one for a while mate

          Reply
          • No, but thanks for the offer (even though this is like your 1000th time). I can stick with what we got now and shiny hunting

          • You suck on so many levels, it truly will not kill you to branch out an inch from the three games you play

          • I dont think wanting a Wii U battle simulator is an unfair request. People can want more of what they like. And I wouldnt be calling someone out for not branching out when you only use ground types.

          • Well still, dont insult someone because they have a difference preference than you do. If he is content with playing a few games let him. If he wants to play something different, he will.

          • But it’s beyond annoying that he goes out of his way to not try anything, and then gives a big ass paragraph of bullshit Telly he’ll never do so

          • Cant you just, ignore it? Like, scroll past it or just dont bring it up? It doesnt really affect you at all

          • It does because I am a eccentric gamer and his closed mindedness rubs me so wrongly, at least others are willingly admit to try but he flat out doesn’t
            Is it wrong to try and get people to try new things?

          • I mean I guess not, but if he is sure he doesnt want to try anything new, you cant really change his mind. And who knows, maybe he is busy and doesnt want to start games he wont finish. I dont know, just try to be respectful to other people’s preferences. I mean at the end of the day, it’s entertainment.

          • Video games have the power to touch us in ways movies and books cant. I believe that 100% and I believe in the power of games. But the games you play are personal. Playing a game, unlike other media, makes memories for yourself. And if you find a game that is so near to you that you only want to play that kind of game, nothing is wrong with that. There is a personal connection there and for some, it’s hard to break. So let people enjoy those games and maybe one day, they’ll see something they find interesting and try it. But yelling at someone on the internet and insulting them will only delay that process. If you truley want him to branch out, let him do it on his own. If he doesn’t ever, oh well. He has his games, you have yours.

          • Hey thanks for this, but I don’t think he will ever understand, so might as well not even reply to him anymore

          • It’s just what he wants, a leverage so he can keep not trying
            Do the right thing and urge him to break out

          • I’m sorry but he’ll never on his own power you know that, this kinda thing needs firmness, You know it’s better to try something and decide from there,

          • Have you heard of reverse psychology?
            If you YELL at anyone to do something(and they are not kids)
            they’ll be like “Fine, I ain’t doing it.”

          • But it’s literally my opinion on why I don’t want to play something different I don’t see how you call it stupid. Stop being a stereotypical person by rejecting other people for having an opinion. I don’t want to play different things, you want to play many things, and some people don’t like to play at all. We all have preferences.
            Seriously, can you act mature once in your life? You were bragging the other day for “being the oldest” but all that goes that goes down the drain when your maturity level is about at age 9 still. Oh well, I guess when you have the mindset you believe yourself to be always right. I cant change the mind of a rock.

          • First of all I never bragged once about my age,
            And second big ass paragraph of bullshit basically saying you won’t try
            It’s one to have your own opinions but in this case it doesn’t apply because you never try, if you tried something and didn’t like it then you didn’t like it but at least you gave it a shot and that’s all I ask, but in this case your more stubborn then me, you are just as thick headed as me because you deny the opportunity for something new and do everything in your power to not try

          • You two have to stop replying to each other or I’ll begin deleting comments and issuing bans. Each of you are at fault.

          • It won’t kill me, but I don’t want to because I am fully satisfied with the games I play.
            ¯_(ツ)_/¯

          • That’s just beyond sad really, you could discover something you may like but you’re too adamant to try anything
            But you’ll just smugly blurt “Lol ok earthen” or “ok” and not let it sink in thinking that’ll shut me up well it won’t just proves I’m right

    • I love Diamond! It’s the game I have the best memories of. I’m not going to play it until the remake, though, to have a fresh experience 🙂

  23. Anime News everyone
    Two new titles emerge and they point towards the possibility of Wulfric being able to Mega Evolve his Abomasnow and the possible return of Ash’s Goodra
    Episode 925: Ash-Greninja VS Mega Abomasnow! The Giant Water Shuriken Triggers!!
    Episode 926: Find Carbink! Goodra and Dedenne!!

    Reply
    • According to a summary of the latter, it’s definitely Ash’s Goodra. They pass by Goodra’s home and decide to visit. Whether Goodra rejoins Ash’s team is up in the air though. While I’d like to see it happen, I’m doubtful since Goodra wasn’t in the latest Volcanion movie trailer.

  24. I think it is safe to say that since this is a website update (presumably) that it will be the Box Arts (therefore likely the legendaries being revealed) and the games release date. Possibly the starters too or at least a tease.

    May of course is historically a big reveal month when new games are coming out!

  28. These possible metagame changes came to my mind, after thinking about the link between Greninja and Ash, and the Greninja transformation (most of all the last one with that giant water shuriken):

    – “Burst” mode friendship stat: kind of “Mega” evolution without stones: requires a strong connection with the Pokémon. May the friendship stat become visible and have an in-battle “Burst” mode?

    – Trainer energy bar and/or trainer levels: Ash is KO after battling with Ash Greninja too much time… may we see some trainer stats? An in-battle trainer energy bar?

    – Move experience and/or levels: Ash Greninja is faster and more powerful, but also the Water Shuriken got a transformation and now is bigger. This made me think about kind of “move” mastering through move exp or levels, to them to become a bit more powerful.

    • I think this “Synchro-Evolution” is the “true” form of mega-evolution. What if this thing we call mega-evolution is actually a natural occurance within trainer and Pokemon but because of the mega stones and rings, this process has just been sped up. Thus, the mega-stone mega-evolution is a corrupt and unnatural way of mega-evolution. This adds to why mega-evolution can be manipulated by so many villains; because it’s unnatural. Maybe what Ash and Greninja have achieved is the true form of mega-evolution where trainer and Pokemon are truly one; Ash can “see” with Greninja’s eyes, feel his pain, and requires an immense amount of bonding and friendship. Of course this is baseless speculation so it’s probably 100% false but I guess it’s fun speculating.

      • I like your theory, I also always felt that mega evolution was somehow unnatural, requiring a different mega stone for each specie… also making me think where those stones come from… and why only few pokemon have one.
        I didn’t like the concept and if what u said becomes true I think it will be the right direction for the metagames and the pokemon evolution concepts in general

      • Oy vey, how many times must I explain this Ash-Greninja isn’t this syncho evolution

        “Ash-Greninja is the form that Greninja takes when the bond between it and Ash is raised to the limit. The strength of their bond changes Greninja’s appearance, and it takes on the characteristic look of Ash’s attire. This phenomenon is also said to have happened just once several hundred years ago in the Kalos region, but it remains shrouded in mystery.”
        This is specifically a anime thing (and Gamefreak probably won’t implement it in Sun Moon out of favoritism)
        http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/see-new-zygarde-formes-in-animation-news-from-japan/

        Look it’s not a bad theory but it would totally f*ck up the lore and the meta, we could easily live without this synchro-fusion weaboo nonsense in a main series game

        BUT spin offs and a game revolving around that is free territory
        I’m saying keep it out of main series

        Reply
        • There is a story line in the anime that the Greninja that saved Ninja Village looked just like Ash Greninja and would reportedly return to save the Village again (as it did with Ash). Then they seem to have stuck with it and it turns into Ash Greninja every time they battle. Its a anime-specific thing. It would a) be too complicated because there are three different starters and I think that because so many people were fans of the customization it will most likely return (hopefully). b) it’s a dumb idea cause they are just exploring Mega Evolution which happens when a pokemon and trainer are bonded (so maybe it will be Greninja’s mega evolution).

  29. Had a dream that the starter was a grass/ flying lizard (based on a flying lizard… Go figure) and kind of basilisk-like. Besides watching it fly around, I remember feeling tricked because of all the grass owl leaks! Tuesday can’t come soon enough!

  30. You know what’s funny? i was looking back at old articles form XY’s release period and I found the article that covered CoroCoro’s September issue that featured mega evolution. The comments under it are all so nervous about the concept. A lot of people saying that they don’t think they’d like it and that the scan must be faked. lol It really makes me wonder though. If Sun and Moon introduce a new kind of mechanic how will everyone react to it? I suppose it depends on what it is and how much it really affects the game over all. I’d like to think that people now a days are generally more open minded about the possibility of new stuff being added. sure if the mechanic is too wildly out there it could bring some bad things, but maybe initial reactions this itme around won’t be so negative right off the bat. lol

        • Mew’s design is a bit bland, but seeing as how I was around during the early days of pokemon, I always liked Mew as a kid. I’m not fond of Celebi, honestly. Its head reminds me of a wild onion, which I loathe. Its arms are all gangly and ugly-shaped, too. I was happy when it died in Pokemon4ever.

          Reply
          • Hahaha a wild onion, I can see that haha. I never knew Mew when I was little. The game in The Netherlands is in English and when I didn’t get the game as well as I do now.

          • To be fair they never even gave us Mew back then so I imagine many didn’t know about it! 😛

          • I know! I’m glad they started the 20 year-events (missed Mew though), but now Darkrai still requires you to go to the store and I have so little time and I don’t want to haha

    • Darkrai : sneaky creepy and mysterious at the same time …he is absloutly my best.
      Ho-oh : I still remember the feeling when I saw him at tin tower I like phoenix though.
      Darkrai+Ho-oh=Yveltal imagin how i feel when I saw him when I saw him at the !st time.

    • I hope the guy they look like what we want them to look like! (aka character customization)
      Also I hope we have a mean rival, at least if they do more than one rival, have at least one of them be actually very mean, and another super nice and generous, and the two rivals constantly arguing with each other. It would be nice if the mean rival was a girl, just a nice touch, since the girl rivals are usually very lame.

      …idk I just watched Digimon Tamers so Im just giving them the personality of Rika and Henry.

    • I want the rival to be a douchey self absorbed egotistical asshole and overall bad person
      And not some edgey Silver or revenge seeking Hugh
      Like a total bastard

      Why because I’m sick of namby pamby good guys, a rival isn’t some endearing childhood friend Bullsh*t it’s some jerk who makes your life a living hell and takes every opportunity to one up you

      Reply
    • I definitely hope they have character customization. I think they will add it because of how popular it was. I hope we have two rivals like in Black and White, that way each person gets a different starter. One I want to be like Gary, full of themselves and arrogant, but the female rival would be like this. The other, the boy rival, would be cool and calm and totally chill and mellow and nice.

      I hope the clothes they wear change too, maybe as the seasons change or as you encounter them in different parts of the region, their clothes match (i.e. if there is a snowy town, they’re in cold weather gear, for beach towns they are in warm weather gear).

    • I will admit, I’m not as excited as I have been. I think with all the failures we’ve encountered it’s now like, eh. Which, in a way is better because I’m not spastically refreshing Serebii and other pages.

      I do hope we get starters (all three evolutions would be nice but I know that is pushing it) and I hope we get the region and the characters. I don’t care about box art or legends, although considering what was leaked last month it looks like box art will be given. Watch, thats ALL we get…

      Reply
      • I don’t think that’s all we get. I feel like because the whole Game Freak team has been tweeting about this day and hyping it up. Plus even Joe Merrick (aka Mr. Skeptical) said not to be suspicious.

        Reply
      • I feel like legends are the best part of any region so I’m hyped! Not so hyped for starters. I have too many hopes for their evolutions, there’s too much cool fan art, but then the real ones come and it’s like ugh ( Delphox( SO BORING OH MY GOD ITS PREVO IS BETTER) Emboar ( From cute little tepig into… Plus the ball on tepig’ tail is just the perfect touch, and emboar lost it…) Or else you get Greninja, Samurott and Chesknaught where they abandon all the previous evo themes and just… Sorry starters make me rage a bit….

        I feel like we’ll get legends and something else, region map, a hint or two, region name. Starters may come next month. But if Ashimari is real, expect oshawott 2.0. Sea lion, with ‘Mari’ round in its name ( Oshawott is Mijumaru, again round). THIS IS WHY SAMUROTT SHOULDVE REMAINED AN OTTER! They’ve used up sea lions in my opinion…

        Reply
        • See, for me, it’s all about the starters. I plan my teams around the starters. No matter what my character keeps his/her starter (yes, sometimes I create a female character). I loved Fennekin, but yes, Delphox kinda flopped. Braixen was cool too.

          I think we will get the legends, starters, box art and HOPEFULLY region so we can alls top speculating whether it’s Hawaii or not. I think it’ll be a fire cat (hopefully more tiger than cat), a sea lion water thing, and the grass flying thing because of the leaks that came out (if they’re real, but it seems legit…)

  35. Will anyone get three versions of the game so they can get all starters? I’ve pre-ordered Sun and Moon but depending on the starters I may add another version (ether Sun or Moon) so I can have three different characters.

    • I think you should just get two games then on one, choose a a starter and put it in bank then restart and get the other starter but it’s whatever you want to do I guess

      Reply
    • No. I don’t have the money to buy three versions of the same game, especially because I won’t even beat all three.

      Reply
      • What you do is you start them all the same day, then save your game and continue with one version until you beat the first gym. Then you go to the next version and play until you beat the first gym. Then if you have a third version you play until the first gym is defeated again. Then you go back to the first one again and play until the next gym s beaten and so on…

        Reply
        • I don’t think I could do that.
          I’m content with just one game, if I really want to use another starter I’ll start a new file.

          I just wouldn’t spend $150 for three copies of the same game

          Reply
          • I can do that by backing up my pokes to Bank and restarting. Once I beat a game I typically don’t beat it again if I restart. I could find a guy to have sex with by the time I’ve finished a game three times.

          • And I’m not saying that I’ll get three for sure. The only time it happened was when Amazon sent me two by mistake. So I had 2 X versions by mistake.

          • I guess I’m just a really avid pokemon player LOL.
            I also got and beat 5 copies of X/Y, as well as multiple copies of Gen 4 & 5 Games, including some Japanese ones. To be fair though, I have also sold some of them off when I was done with them. But I kept all the legendaries I caught on them. ♥

This means that we could get the following things: The legendaries, starters, AND the player characters!!! I think we’ll definitely get the Pokemon artt, but we may just get the models of the player characters like we did for XYs trailer and then get the art at a later date.

  42. I really want to see customizable pokemon this time around. Ever since I saw Magearna I have been in anticipation for a build-your-own pokemon feature to be included with different combinations of movesets and abilities. More importantly, you get to customize the appearance of some sort of mech or stuffed animal pokemon. That would be a game changer I would literally spend days and days working on them.

  45. To pass the time, tell me your semi-last minute hopes or predictions on animals that the starters will be based on. I want another reptilian grass starter, so maybe another type of dinosaur would be good. I also think a bipedal grass/fighting jackrabbit would be good as well. As for fire types, I honestly have no idea. I do think I would enjoy a crab water starter, even though the fakemon below doesn’t look great.

          • Don’t get me started. What came first were the ancestors of the chicken. Over millions of years, mutations occurred within eggs which eventually led to the modern chicken. So technically, the egg came first (the first stage of the first modern chicken). And yes, I know what point you’re making.

          • What about a nicely cooked fried egg, American cheese and 2 strips of bacon and on a toasted bagel

          • Oh man I could go for some bacon right about now…..*checks the clock, it’s quarter to midnight* eh maybe not…..lol

          • Wrong. Birds are related to reptiles. You can’t have eggs without proteins found in the creature, so no matter what the chicken came first. Aside from the fact that babies would have no clue how to survive on their own.

            Any who, TPC YouTube/Corocoro is the chicken, official site is the egg.

  49. I have to say, I know this is kind of off topic, but the X and Y anime is a huge improvement from Unova. And Ash is actually a really good trainer especially with his Greninja. All his pokemon are fully evolved (believe it or not) and I also really like Clemont as a character. I don’t know I just thought I’d put that out there 🙂

          • Some dipshit or swaggin trainer will maguffin his way through
            We all know this
            Twenty bucks says he’ll get the the semifinals and go into cardiac arrest when AshGreninja mode

          • lol. I think eventually the AshGreninja mystery will be solved, and maybe Ash won’t completely die XD

          • It pretty much is
            Olympia foresaw Froakie’s past as a different Froakie who spent it’s time training and fighting
            And he rejected trainers that did not meet his expectations
            Ash was shown to be an caring and high spirited trainer which caught his eye
            Was caught
            And now as a Greninja, The Secret Ninja Village claims that a Hero and His Greninja possessed unique qualities
            Now Greninja when battling with Ash trigger an advanced state of sync which their minds and body become one (even showing heart rate matching)
            Up until now this form is shown to be used in short burst, only when the dominating force to battle empowers their minds Greninja’s veil of water condenses into a Gigantic Water Shuriken
            But this puts a massive strain on their bodies, so they must master this form

          • I see. Well I really am rooting for Ash this time. But I hate the fill-in episodes that are so bad. I just want the main story XD

          • Nah, he’ll probably get to the final, and then the writers have him lose to some irrelevant fuck character, like Tobias in Sinnoh or Cameron/Virgil in Unova.

  50. All I want tomorrow is starters. Those are some of the most important Pokemon of all. I feel like there’s a pretty high chance, as well. I’d also guess that box legendaries are a given, since they bothered to tease us with the boxes last month. 7.5 HOURS.

I’ve been a Pokemon fan since July 2003, and have been floating around the Pokemon fan sites since December 2006. I like coming here to Pokejungle because it has the most lively community.

    And that’s really all I have to say. As I’m sure everyone else here is, I’m excited for the video reveal in (checks time) about 6.5 hours, but I hope Corocoro leaks earlier. If I see anything around the fandom about it, I’ll post here.
