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.
<3 PJ
Nice, it’s about time
Finally we get something really real!!!!!! I can not wait! I hope it is a XY alike trailer showing some game play, pcs, the mascots and starters
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.
Well CoroCoro looks like we got the last laugh.
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.
No the CoroCoro will be what this is, trust me. It always happens haha
Watch it’ll be the SunMoon promo site with just info on Magearna.
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS
I can feel the flow of time slow down already until May 10…
It is also the day before my birthday, heh heh.
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.
Trailer or riot
Armed to the teeth
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
Isn’t the box art stunt a silhouette?
No, it’s only a silhouette when there’s a blacked out figure, this was just completely blocked out
I love how you been freaking out about when they are gonna reveal news. Then they give a specific date when news is coming and suddenly you’re all pessimistic and reserved hahaha
I wouldn’t say pessimistic but I will agree I’ve been oddly calm
Yeah maybe that wasn’t the word I wanted to use lol Well Either way hahaha
Hopefully it’s a trailer of some kind and not another announcement of announcement.
I hope it’s a trailer too fingers crossed.
I really hope our character can be fully customizable. XY was a good start on that, but I want a beard in game too.
And maybe add some kinda body scale
I don’t want to be some shrimpy twig
That would be nice too
You can have that shining chiseled abs that you crave
And maybe I can get a beer belly and barrel chest
hopefully we can take of our caps/hats aswell, annoyed me as f*ck.
I hated that. What was the point of a haircut if it was covered up by a hat?
Right?
Right!
“Hey rival, you can wear the hat now. I’m cuter without it.”
“Thanks!”
Also more hairstyles would be helpful.
more faces to choose from is also a thing. Maybe you want to customise it like yourself.. Duh! More haircolours is a must aswell.
Finally we can make Misty our pokemon trainer xD
But aren’t we supposed to be children?
Shut the $&@? up
No Beards.
Yeah, if we even get character customization I highly doubt there will be beards. I’d be happy if we at least get more hairstyles and unnatural hair colors. C’mon, GameFreaks! Ever heard of hair dye?! Gimme purple hair! Also… more colored eye contacts. Yus.
Agreed! More customization is good, but we’ve always been traditionally pre-teens in these games, no? Beards might ruin that aesthetic.
Except maybe BW 1+2, where they were closer to adolescents… I doubt I’ll see Hilbert or Nate in even mustaches or stubble though…
Yeah I thought about them. They seemed slightly older, but maybe only 14/15
No
Yes.
Never
As a fellow bearded trainer, I support this idea
And make crossdressing possible.
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!!!!!

Most likely that’s would be the trailer cuz Corocoro will leak one day before that. https://countingdownto.com/countdown/corocoro-countdown-clock
Brand new Pokemon coming in hot!

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 just want them to reveal Solgaleo, Lunaala, Mokurou, Nyabby and Ashimari already.
I want my goddamn Fire Bull
Nope! It’s gonna be a fire tiger-kitty! >:u
UGHHHHGGGHHH THATS STOOPID
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…
No u stoopid! >:U
Solgaleo leek!

Looks like a Pokemon
( ° ͜ʖ °)
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
I feel the same way as well. It seems like Nintendo and Game Freak want to get ahead of the CoroCoro leaks.
Inb4 the Tuesday reveal is just the release dates lol
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
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.
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. ♥
Ho-Oh could have a friend. Fri-ends~
In Ho-Oh’s case, it would just be Hoh. Not the name you want in a kid’s game :P.
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.
I’ve just been saying Loon-all-ah
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
Watch it be the official reveal of solgaleo and lunala…or maybe the official reveal that they are fake 😉
Hopefully whatever’s revealed will be cool enough to make up for the salt of Nintendo’s E3 abandonment.
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.
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…
