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. Ok, real talk… Why did no one ever tell me there was a Donkey Kong TV show? And why did no one ever tell me it was terrible?

  3. 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.

    • But Ash Greninja is supposed to be an anime mechanics to give Ash a Pseudo-Mega
      Because they aren’t going to dish out a gajillion Starter Trainer mishmashes

      This kinda thing really mucks up everything and I mean everything

        • We don’t need all these stupid flashy weaboo mechanics that are basically the same thing with a different label
          Nuff said

          • well calling someone’s theories stupid it’s a bit rude since you are always writing theories here and I think everybody including myself respects your opinions and don’t tell you that you should be punched in the face like u said in some other comment…

    • 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

        Reply
      • 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).

  4. 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!

  5. 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

  6. OK guys. What do you want to see first:

    • Article series about my recent visit to Japan (was going to do this whilst there, but I lost reliable internet)
    • JungleTalk on the upcoming news
    • PJT update
    • Nothing

    Pls let me know! 🙂

  7. I can’t wait anymore. Less than 39 hours to go. Give me news omg.
    To kill time: What’s your favorite legendary and why?
    Mine is Dialga, because of the typing and its killer design. Diamond is also the game I have played the most in my life.

    • Lugia! He is so awesome in so many ways. He is in arguably the best Pokemon movie (2000), he is the box art legendary for my favorite pokemon game, and he is just the guardian of the seas! He is so cool!

      Reply
        • I like Ho-Oh but I like it’s shiny form even more. That being said, Lugia’s shiny form sucks and I wish they would change it

    • Groudon because gee I wonder why
      The lord of the land and the King of all Ground Types

      And Primal Groudon got the better deal

      Reply
      • I love Groudon! Never really liked Kyogre until it got a primal, but obviously I picked OR because of nostalgia.

    • Rayquaza because Emerald being my favorite pokemon game of all time Rayquaza the representative of it. I love the Green color and how menacing it looks. It was also my first level 100

      Reply
      • Emerald is also one of the games I played most. Loved it, because my older brother had Ruby so I had the ‘enhanced’ version which made me feel cool back then. Love Rayquaza because of the memories!

    • Darkrai and Mew tie. Darkrai because he’s shadowy and cool, and mew because it’s feline-ish and just adorable. Also it can learn every TM and HM, which is pretty cool

      Reply
      • Darkrai is beautiful. I love its design. Mew, I don’t know. He’s one of my least favorite cute legendaries. I prefer Celebi or Keldeo 🙂

        Reply
        • 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.

      also like ..Mewtow,Giratina,Rayquaza and grodon.

    • 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.

      Reply
    • 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).

      • Considering how long it took to have a legit black character (5th gen) and then how long it took to actually play as one (6th gen), I doubt it.

        Reply
    • Maybe some diversity in it instead of just dark haired white kids. Though if they bring back customization (Which they SHOULD) it doesn’t really matter much I guess.

  8. I still haven’t gotten my codes for the birds. I swear I checked to make sure my email was updated properly before the deadline… 🙁

    Reply
    • They might still be sending them out. I got mine about a day later than everybody else. I agree though, it would be very late for them to send it to you now. I suppose contacting The Pokemon Company somehow might help you.

      Reply
      • Thanks. I’ll consider contacting them. Btw I remember you, ShinyXatu. You were kind to me before when I was going through a rough time. I was posting on another name then. I’ve also been known here as “Dialga-Brite”, and “Satori Komeiji”. So, congratulations on being promoted to a gym leader. I’ve been wanting to say that to you for a long time. ♥

        Reply
        • Yes, I remember you 🙂 I appreciate the kind words, I really do. This place is very important to me, as well as everyone within it. I hope things are better for you!

  9. Guys I need you to hype me up a bit… I was so excited March and April, having dreams about sun and moon etc…. But I’m not that hyped this time…. Hype me up please!

    Reply
    • Well, I mean, 2 days and we get info on new Pokemon games. NEW POKEMON GAMES BRO. HOW CAN YOU NOT BE HYPED FOR DAT!

      Reply
    • 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…)

  10. 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.

    Reply
    • I’m hoping all three starters are really cool, then I’ll get all three versions and have three different characters. Cosimo (Moon) who gets the fire starter, Aurora (Sun) who gets the water and Jeff (???) who gets the grass.

      Reply
    • 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. ♥
