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
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)
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.
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.
South Kalos confirmed?
at least it seems that there will be new Fire, Water and Flying gyms
(picture from Pokemon XYZ episode 26 preview)
How do you know?
No… they do this in the anime all the time. In “reality” there are many different gyms… It doesn’t mean there is a new version of Kalos coming out. I think we’re getting a totally new region, all new gyms, new starters (I hope for a TON of new pokemon, it’s time to stop recycling…).
I don’t think they mixed badges just because with no reason…
a new region connected to Kalos would make sense
Each region had badges in the anime that were not in the games, showing that the path that Ash takes is not the only path.
I see, I didn’t know this http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Badge#Gallery_of_unidentified_Badges
Ughhhh so many times people do videos based on these farce badges and I just want to punch them all
I agree with you here. People just come up with some of the most ridiculous theories. A simple look back or scrolling down on the Bulbapedia page would show all of the anime badges and they’ll easily figure out that it’s rather common for the anime to have different trainers and rivals collect different badges to flesh out the world.
That has nothing to do with that, I just want to punch people
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.
wat if Mokurou is the Woodpecker that shown in the trailer.
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.
Actually we still didn’t see its color yet , for me I don’t believe there will be a new stater.
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.
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.
You don’t actually know for a fact that it’s those colors.
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.
Plot twist
*Disappointment coming soon
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah you’re right.
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]
*11:37 Pm CoroCoro HQ-CoroCoro Jungle* *The Elevator went all the way down until it made a ding sound,elevator doors opens up and Wonder and awe went to his eyes* (0-0) Wow CoroCoro Jungle the legends are Real the famous CoroCoro Jungle where the the wild CoroCoro Leaks roam, Let’s see according to the map CoroCoro Temple where The famous CoroCoro treasure is at is 500 miles its Adventure Time! *Grabs his bag,switches from his metal gear snake suit to his Indiana Jones suit and starts Exploring.*
Is someone able to translate these?

From what I’ve heard elsewhere on the internet, it’s essentially him saying that he’s started a countdown to the news and asking all fans to do the same. I don’t know Japanese though, one of the other users will have to confirm this.
In the graphic, other than the 3 days Sun/Moon Info, they’re all Pokemon Centers (stores) that Masuda will be visiting for signing events.
The graphic shows pokemon centers Masuda’d be visiting for signing events.

SORALEO (FIRE/DRAGON)
PRIDE POKÉMON
LUNAPTERA (WATER/BUG)
OCEAN MOTH POKÉMON
Omg if this is real it sounds so cool!
Hmmm I don’t like these Soraleo? Solgaleo sounds better
And Lunaptera it makes it sound like a Moon Pteranodactyl……Shit Lepidoptera
I really hope these aren’t real or if they are they’re tweaked
SO-RAY-LEE-OH
LOO-NAP-TEAR-A
#805 Vers 1,1: “The guardian of day, this legendary Pokémon’s power stems from sunlight it collects while it flies.”
#805 Vers 2,1: “It’s roar is known in mythology to bring day to the world and vanish darkness”
#806 Vers 1,1: “The guardian of night, the dew drops that collect on this Pokémon’s wings resemble a black night sky.”
#806 Vers 2,1: “It’s wing are described as being large enough to block out the sun. It’s hypothesized the water it collects could fill oceans.”
That still doesn’t sound right you can’t get the Ray sound from Ra and the p is silent in Lunaptera
Where are your sources troll
Pronunciation may differ. There’s no official audio of pronunciation yet that’s available to me.
Interesting….
OWLEY (GRASS/FLYING)
FOREST OWL POKÉMON
MAGMEO (FIRE)
FIRE POKÉMON
FINLEO (WATER)
BALL POKÉMON
Owley? Doesn’t sound very plant like
But Magmeow and Finleo kinda work
Ugh I don’t know why but I’m rooting for the Sea Lion which feels weeeeeird since I never liked Water Starters (Except Totodile)
So you’re implying that the 4chan leaks are real? Very interesting indeed…I don’t believe it at this point.
MAGEARNA (STEEL/FAIRY)
ARTIFICIAL POKÉMON
MARSHADOW (DARK)
ECLIPSE POKÉMON
PENULTRA (NORMAL)
PLANETARY POKÉMON
The other sets of names sound possible, but if Marshadow is the third legendary, it won’t be revealed on tuesday, nor will any other legendaries besides the main two.
Check POKEMON.COM/SUNMOON on 05/10/2016
….IDEA
what if Gamefreak totally threw the preassumed concept of the Grass Owl out the window and instead of this whole tall shady guardianequs forest Owl and turned it into this!!!!!
http://orig11.deviantart.net/b975/f/2013/017/9/e/owlbear__version_2__by_conceptopolis-d5rsh4m.jpg
For those unaware this fearsome beast is horribly revered for its aggression and ferocity and is known as The Owlbear
That…is terrifying. I feel like if that was ever a pokemon, it would have to be Dark/Flying or Psychic/Flying, maybe Grass/Dark if it must be a dark type.
Nowhere near a psychic type boyo
This is a extremely feared monster
I can tell, I’m slightly afraid to go to sleep now :p (I’m in Sydney, it’s 10:30pm here). The psychic/flying suggestion was for if they decide to dial down the menace, and since I think the typing makes sense for an owl.
http://orig13.deviantart.net/621e/f/2014/255/c/0/c045a7b9b0b86683b2674cd31460a4f8-d7yy4qz.jpg
Sweet dreams
They’d probably make cuter versions of owlbears for pre-evos though.
Top-level starter evos tend to look fierce anyway…
I’ve always loved Owlbears. At one point I wanted to make a sentient owlbear character and they’d a good guy, like Drizz’t. But they’d tell me, why don’t you make a dark elf instead? Heh.
I remember in one of my campaigns I got my foot sliced off and we replaced it with a Dire Owlbear’s paw/talon
WOW. Well uh wait, why didn’t they just attach your previous foot though!
If u mean it should have claw that’s right but parrot is more fit to this concept ….u know their is a connection between parrots and dinos in addition some parrots spices r not able to fly.
Spare me your evolutionary mumbo jumbo I want a savage killer
it’s not mine …I didn’t use my emotion when I judge something. it’s logic bae.
Wow a Pokemon version of this creature would simply be phenomenal. I personally LOVE the idea of an avian grass bird starter and I hope that its final evolution is something slightly left field, smartly designed, and bad ass just like what they did with torchic and blaziken… Two fire chickens… The results Couldve been disastrous and the same for piplup, who is also a bird
Pokémon Bank for iOS and Android will be launched Holiday 2016, those who sign in to the app version before April 2017 will be given a shiny Arceus to celebrate 10 years of DPPt.
PokéTransporter for 3DS will be updated to include Pokémon RBGY Spring 2017.
.o.
Does the 3DS have the capability to communicate with iOS and Android?
There is no source for this.
Does holiday mean this May? Cuase I simply CANNOT wait.
Junichi Masuda was shown with this countdown timer this morning. The announcement must be legit. I think it’s far from a troll this time. Also, is that a London phone booth to his left?
Well, there’s the thing that Masuda is a known troll… 😀
All these clues leading to different areas: Spain, Italy, U.K, Southern France. Why not just give us all of Europe at this point.
I was post pic about this but now the mystery solved it’s GF game ….regardless of the graphic the concept of this game look like time control,but I am not sure if this game belong to GF or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHsfBMKLgnc
It seems to be for an amateur game design contest, if I read the Japanese right.
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.
Well it seems there actually may be something worthwhile this time finally. Hopefully it pans out.
I’ve been lied to too many times to trust this
Hey everybody, I am Tom from Belgium. I’ve been coming to pokejungle since they announced pokemon X&Y and I’ve watched what was happening on th website from afar. I thought that with the soon to be release pokemon S&M I could be joining the fun so I suscribed. You guys seem to be such a tight and friendly community, I couldn’t help but try to join you guys ! I hope you don’t mind 🙂
Welcome to the party! Hope you enjoy your stay.
This site usually gets quiet in between game releases but when there’s a new main series game, when it’s out, and in the weeks to come, it gets all fired up.
You’re just in time! From Tuesday until the release of Sun and Moon there will be enough news for us to discuss I think.
To join the Pokejungle clan thou must pass three agonizing trials of suffering each more painful then the last
Hhahaha I’m sure I do! My body’s ready, let’s get on it :pp
it’s just one.
Hello, it’s nice to meet you! I’m your friendly do-nothing moderator. Glad to be of assistance 😛
This place goes from extremely quiet to extremely busy, depending on the news. Expect 100 comments per minute and lots of spam on Tuesday morning…that’s why I’ll be up at 4:30AM. Oh boy.
Yo Kev when does that happen for Est?
It’s 8AM EST. Actually normal human hours.
Luckily for me in Europe it’s 2 pm 🙂
For me it’s 11:21 pm in the night and I’m stalling my sleep
11:21?
yes, that’s what the comp. said
But the announcement will be at a xx:00 time…?
I don’t get what you’re trying to say
I said that the announcement will be at 2 pm for me, then you said the announcement will be at 11:21 pm for you, but that doesn’t make sense.
What I’m saying is I’m in the wrong timezone to actively participate in discussions.
Sorry we meant two different things 🙂
Yes we did :), I can no longer stall my sllep. GnN for me and GA for you I suppose. See you later
Sleep well! 🙂
That’s their current time.
Oh I misread that then 🙂
That’s right
Baller
I follow IST. What time will that be?
I’m in EST, and it’s 2:00 PM for me. If it’s 12:00 AM for you, that means there’s 10 hours between us. The event occurs at 8:00 AM EST, so add 10 hours and that’d be 18:00 IST (or 6:00PM IST), if I did that right.
Tx
Shiny plzzzz
Nice to meet you too! Yeah I know, I’ve seen that during the X&Y pre-release period! It was so uch fun coming here reading all of your comments 😀 I can’t wait to catch the next hype train !
Welcome Tom! Enjoy your stay!
Thank you very much :D! I hope I’ll like it as much as I hope 🙂
Me too! Let me know if you need anything and I’ll do my best to help 🙂
Thank you men, that’s really nice of you 😀
Hi Tom from Belgium. I’m Chico from Florida. There’s a lot of belgian waffles on this site, honestly. Maybe you can meet some of them haha.
And this fruitcake *Nudges Chico*
Hehe, thanks dude! I hope I’ll get to meet some nice ones :p
GO FLORIDA!
Bonjour, hallo or guten Tag, depending on where you come from! Enjoy your stay :).
C’est bonjour pour moi :)! I’m from Namur in the french part of the country, but I’m in college in the capital so both works for me! and thank you, I’m sure I will 😀
I study in Leuven so that’s totally not far away from me! My French isn’t the best, but always happy to hear someone can speak both!
I did not expect to find another belgian guy around here! Leuven is such an amazing place for parties!! My deutsh isn’t amazing at all to be honest! I can understand it and ear it but speaking it is so hard!
You study there ?
Hi I am MenacingCascoon
Nice to meet you
What’s your favorite pokemon and why?
Also I lowered your attack by two stages due to my ability
My favourites might be Luxray or maybe Torterra, one of them either way, what’s yours ?
Mine is Blaziken I really like Blaziken and it was one of my first pokemon, and I have a lot of good memories with it.
#MasterFireFightingRace
Yeah, nice pic, but when it comes to fire/fighting type, I’m all for infernape :p! He’s my man :D.
Team Emboar FTW!!!!
Hahaha, imho this one is the worst of all. I just can’t deal with his face x)
Well now I hate you congratulations
I am such a fan of these kind of comments of yours.
Up yours chump
Well, thank you I guess ?
I will bury you
You’ll get used to Earthen 😉
Hahah he seem to be original x)
Just throw Water-Type Pokemon and a Water/Fairy Mega Milotic!
Never gonna happen
I’m the Raging Earth, the Thunder from deep under, the very ground shakes with my presence!
For I am Earthen “The Down To Earth Trainer”
Just scroll past….sadly
I agree it’s so bad imo
I hated you for quite some time, but you already knew that
Hahahah! I agree not to disagree 😀
tbf I don’t like Infernape or Emboar
Blaziken is the only one for me
Same here, Infernape is my favorite Fire/Fighting Type!
Infernape all the way! you play him physical or special ?
Usually mixed. He’s both a good physical and special attacker.
Yeeah I know, that’s why I ask actually! I’m playing him physical atm but I wanna try a special one ::)
welcome back!
I’m going to play some more Diamond today and catch up on a week’s worth of Game Grumps. I’m in full Pokemon mode from now until May 10.
I’ve been working mah butt off so I can build a brand new Desktop since my beloved Laptop is like 7 years old
So in the meantime I’ve been on a gaming spree
Paper Mario 64, Thousand year door, Majora’s Mask, Shovel Knight, Sonic Heroes, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Smash 3DS every other hour, and I might end up playing Fairly Oddparents Shadow Showdown
So many games yet nothing fills the void
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.
Hopefully when I get my new computer I can get Overwatch and join my brother can his friends
My PS4 is getting here on May 10, which is a funny coincidence. That will be the best day ever. Maybe I’ll get Overwatch sometime later for that.
You could probably guess who I’d main
Looking at the list of characters, it’s probably Winston.
Why does everyone assume that
https://blzmedia-a.akamaihd.net/overwatch/hero/reinhardt/background-summary-poster.jpg
“Winston is the very definition of Tank”, according to IGN.
Dude you know I like hitting things with a gigantic friggin hammer
I just wanted a Pokemon WiiU that was a battle simulator 🙁
Well you should try something different for once, cuz clearly we ain’t getting one for a while mate
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.
I never said it was unfair I’m saying it’s extremely unlikely
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.
It’s a way of life, you know that
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
Trust we had this talk soooo many times
That’s fair. No one’s mind is being changed here so it is just pointless arguing.
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)_/¯
So you want to play the same friggin games for the rest of your life
Same serious of games, but yes
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
All snails hate you so much cuz you were so SALTY to a cascoon
I’m in full exam mode D:
My exam(s) just got over and I’m in holiday
HOMEWORK mode D’:
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 🙂
Do you know the weather right now? It’s snowing

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!!
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.
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!
I’m loving ChuggaConroy’s Platinum let’s play. It has really reminded me of the great parts of Sinnoh and my first time through the region.
