New Sun & Moon Info Coming June 2nd

PokéJungle Hype Horn

The official Japanese Pokémon Twitter account has revealed that new information about the upcoming Nintendo 3DS titles Pokémon Sun & Moon will be revealed in two weeks on June 2nd. This “announcement of an announcement” should tide some fans over who have been waiting to know when we’d get more news about these anticipated entries in the main Pokémon series.

Sounds intriguing, although it may not be quite as exciting as the starter reveal we got this month! Over to the right is our official PokéJungle Hype Horn™ which we will be blowing FREQUENTLY and LOUDLY in anticipation of new information 😉

  1. I found a close-up from Lunaala’s head. It has a “3th eye” instead of the moon symbol like Solgaleo. Its also the psychic type logo. So what do you think!?

  2. Wow, they’re really controlling the info this time around, aren’t they? It’s kind of a nice change for them to step up with frequent official announcements, and not let Coro Coro leaks have all the spotlight for once 🙂

    Reply
    • They are also timing the info to way before any insiders can get hands on a leaked copy of Coro Coro earlier than street date in a month. <3

      • Yeah I’m starting to see its not just with Corocoro but with every other leaker I guess GF just want to really handle this on their own. I mean yes corocoro did kind of still let out the new dog/deer thing on their trailer and the SUN and MOON and mon names TM were leak early but to me that’s not big news.

    • What do you mean? If you don’t see them, they’re just under the featured discussion link at the bottom of the article.

      If you’re looking to put similar reactions into your own website, ask one of the mods about the code, they’re better suited to helping you than I

  3. Ugh it says two weeks but one forgets how long that can be, thankfully Fallout 4’s DLC drops tomorrow
    Far Harbor, higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost?

    Any Fallout Fans here?

  4. I updated sample attacks
    Rowlet: Tackle, Leafage, Growl, Foresight, Quick Attack, Gust, Leech Seed, Echoed Voice, Whirlwind, Leaf Tornado, Roost, Air Slash, Leaf Storm, Hurricane

    Litten: Scratch, Ember, Leer, Smokescreen, Shadow Sneak, Fury Swipes, Fire Fang, Hone Claws, Smog, Copycat, Roar, Crunch, Lava Plume, Earth Power, Inferno

    Popplio: Pound, Water Gun, Tail Whip, Odor Sleuth, Aqua Jet, Encore, Double-Slap, Aqua Ring, Charm, Work up, Protect, Acrobatics, Slam, Swagger, Aqua Tail and Hydro Pump

    It’s really hard to not just load up on attacks and distribute status moves

  5. I’d be willing to bet that just like the past couple of Junes we’ll get news in waves next month. First will be this June 2nd announcement, then could CoroCoro, and then maybe just maybe if we’re lucky they do a short little thing to commemorate E3. And before I start getting attacked by everyone saying “They’re only doing Zelda this year and nothing else!!” I say that doesn’t mean they can’t do something on the side. It doesn’t have to be specifically AT E3 to be released around then lol

    Reply
    • Especially cause I think they rented out a huge space. Why that for only one game? I thin k they’ll show off other games, but Zelda is a focus and will be the only playable game.

      Reply
  6. I swear Announcement to an announcement better mean they’re revealing something and telling us that they’re announcing something later on

    Because if it’s just telling us that they’re telling us the date of the next official info at a later day I shall burn all with my anger

    Reply
    • Now that they’ve started the proper pre-release news cycle, I don’t think they’re going to pull that stunt again. I don’t think we’re going to get a lot of news, but we will get news.

  7. I just restarted my X versions (I have 2) and my Y.

    Y: Delphox, Charizard, Ampharos, Beartic, Dragalge (not sold on Dragale yet… Was also considering Ludicolo) and Sylveon

    X: Chestnaught, Blastoise, Abomasnow, Aromatisse, Honchkrow and Ninetalea

    X: Greninja, Venusaur, Manectric, Pyroar, Meowstic and Mamoswine

    The teams are based on the personalities of their characters. Y is Belle, a girly girl. X is Jeff which is really me and the other X is Barnaby my dog.

  8. I hope we get a formal introduction to the Alola region. I really like seeing the new landmarks and getting a better picture of where we’ll be exploring. I want official art to look at instead of the blurry and pixelated picutres we have. Obviously new Pokemon would be nice too lol

    Reply
  9. Hey all, I need some advice. I restarted my Y and I need a good water type to fit my team…

    Delphox, Charizard, Ampharos (Mega), Beartic and Sylveon.

    I’m leaning towards Ludicolo, Dragalge and Golduck. But I’m open… What do you think?

    Reply
  10. I dunno if anyone will see this or read this, but I just had the biggest mind-blow ever while watching some video that’s Sun and Moon related.
    Now, I dunno if anyone’s thought this before or what, but I need to speak this.
    Now, I thought the reason GF and Nintendo are acting this way about news because we take a mile for every inch we got. We find out things early, and they don’t want that anymore. While I still think that, my mind expanded on that more.
    Ok, think about it. 20 years ago, with the first Pokemon games, we had no info going in, it was a surprise. We didn’t have things the way we do now.
    What if GF wants to recreate that? They’re gonna reveal stuff, they need the hype, but what if they don’t reveal too much in order to recreate that same feeling with the early gens? IT make more sense because this is the 20th anniversary, 20 years of love for Pokemon. They kinda want a throwback.
    I dunno, maybe it’s not that at all, but I just saw that connection and thought to share it with you all.

    Reply
    • I want this so bad. I want to go into a Pokemon game mostly blind, but I know that if they reveal information there is no way I will be able to avoid it. This time around, because if the XY leaks, I am going to attempt to completely avoid the internet for two weeks prior to launch, but if they reveal too much before that, I will be disappointed. I think they should have only reveal information every two months or so, solely for the sake of speculation and to keep people interested.

      Reply
      • I mean, I don’t mind either way for me, but it was interesting to bring up.
        My only thing is I want to know a good amount of the new Pokemon so I can plan my teams since I use only new Pokemon on my first runthroughs and I hate changing it once I plan it.
        But, other than that, I don’t mind going in knowing barely anything or knowing everything. I’ll still have fun experience regardless. Plus, they don’t entirely reveal everything about a game so I’m content.

        Reply
        • I plan out teams as well, but they always end up changing in the end. I guess why I want it most is because it would add difficulty (I bring this up a lot, I just realized) to the game because I wouldn’t know what to plan or prepare for (in terms of rival battles or E4).

          Reply
          • True, that is a valid point. I always bring up loads of things (I think I mentioned my planning teams like 10,000 times, I dunno),

  11. Leave it to Ash, to beat the crap out of the champion’s Mega Gardevoir and then lose to a useless piece of ice chunk that is Avalugg.

    Reply
    • Lol Ash lost to Wulfric? I knew he would since he has only lost to one official gym match in kalos thus far. Ash’s own level is never constant. He can beat someone super hard, but then lose to someone easy.

      Reply
      • Yes he lost, just like he lost to Sawyer in the previous episode. But I’ve seen the preview of next week’s episode, and it looks promising. I’m guessing Ash and Greninja fully master the transformation (meaning they can trigger it at will, and not randomly anymore) and will absolutely annihilate Wulfric in the rematch.
        He basically was beating the crap out of Avalugg, but at the end the strain of the transformation took his toll on Ash and Greninja eventually as well.

        Reply
    • Wait was it another handicapped match in favour of Ash, or did Wulfric just not get a chance to use a third Pokemon?

      Reply
      • He beat Wulfric’s Abomasnow with Hawlucha and then Avalugg easily ko-ed Hawlucha and Talonflame. Ash then went with Greninja, it transformed into Ash-Greninja, and still lost because Ash lost his focus.

        Reply
    • Don’t forget Avalugg has gratuitous amounts of defensive capabilities and His Ice Body healing him every blow it really boiled down to who hit harder and how much punishment each could take

  13. So I know we have that one conversation about the dolphin Pokémon that people want, but what do YOU want to see a Pokémon be based on in Sun and Moon. I want some kind of fire type tiki mask-wearing thing which is fire type and has tiki torches. Also a shrimp, so I can call it Sriracha Shrimp. You smell that Sriracha Shrimp boi, that Sriracha Shrimp.

    Reply
    • So many feels. I honestly think this episode will mark the moment Ash and Greninja fully control the form and be able to trigger it at will instead of randomly.

  14. I think it’s weird that there are people that don’t see the tall grass on the island shown in the trailer, there are crearly(not really since the pictures are blurry, sorry for that) areas with a darker green color visible to the east and south of the town shown in the trailer. Am I the only that sees them?

    Reply
    • If u watch the trailer carefully it’s just darker area.
      or maybe they didn’t add the grass area in this trailer.

      Reply
  15. How do you guys think they will incorporate new and old ice type Pokémon into this generation with the region just being a group of islands?

    Reply
    • Of course there is going to be an area for them to be obtained. I am just curious as to what you guys think this area is going to be like.

      Reply
        • I was also thinking a cave at first; but I don’t really like the idea, because I feel as if the concept would be to similar to Shoal Cave in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

          Reply
        • There are snowy mountains in Hawaii, but they could just as easily create a snowy area somewhere. Or maybe they’ll do seasons and ice Pokemon will be prominent during colder seasons.

          Reply
    • Honestly I was thinking how would a cluster of tropical islands would accommodate Ice Type habits

      My first idea would be a total ripoff of Banjo Tooie’s hailfire peaks where dual mountainous islands have extreme climates

      Otherwise a drifting collection of icebergs that has a complex of hollow icy caves which some Pokemon nested

      Reply
    • Snow falls almost every winter at tallest volcanoes in Hawaii, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Or so i’ve heard from my relatives that live there. Seasons returning confirmed?

    • I hope it’s not just an ice cave… that’s lame. We’ve had like 3 of those. They should just pull a unova and disperse some ice pokemon here and there

    • Somewhere artificially cold to store seafood maybe. Like cold storage in New Unova, which was a warehouze. That was creative.

  16. What is everyone naming their characters in Sun and Moon and who will their starters be?

    Sun: Cosimo and Litten
    Moon: Aurora and either Rowlet or Popplio

    Reply
    • I used to name my person Landon because for whatever reason I chose that name when I started Ruby way back when and it stuck, but since gen 6 started I’ve just stuck to using my real name which is Alec. I’m definitely going with Litten. I’m still on the fence as to which game I’m going to get as I’d like to know a bit more about the exclusives, but I’m leaning towards Moon now because I really like it’s legendary.

      Reply
    • I always name the characters IAN, I only do Earthen for non-important stuff
      And Popplio will be my starter for sun
      And if Litten ends up ground I’ll pick it for Moon Ground Mono

      Reply
    • I’m only getting moon. Rowlet is the likely starter.

      As for name, I’ll have to think about it. It’s either Phyllis, Pandora, Lilo or Yuna.

      Reply
    • I dunno about character names, probably after Jamie and Percy (my two names), but I know I’ll choose Litten for Moon and reset for a female one so I can name it Molly. And Rowlet for Sun but no names yet.

      Reply
      • I know but you can’t just give a Pokemon +10 in a stat and think it’s much better now. They should give a Pokemon like Dunsparce 50-60 more base stats (assuming it won’t have a mega)

        Reply
    • Not to be a downer, but i really think and hope that was a one time thing. As much as i want ice type and some pokemon to receive buffs, i dont want pokemon to start getting to a habit where something gets buffed every generation. I like if they keep it consistent and right now i am perfectly fine. Maybe like ability small buffs or or ice increase a stat in hail. But buffs to BST or type as a whole is not what i want to happen every game because people will just try to rely on it. And yes i know and am ok with them buffing movesets and moves, but just not a pokemon ingeneral.

      Reply
      • I understand. It’s just sad seeing older Pokemon have no relevance because of poor stats. I like the idea of hail increasing a stat for ice types because Hail is the worst of the weather abilities

        Reply
  20. I wish they make at least one pair of Sun/Moon based Pokemon. Maybe version exclusives, or maybe branched evolution based on day/night just like in old days. A plant Pokemon could be exciting(like Moon Vileplume and Sun Bellossom). I would also like to see more of encountering of nocturnal/diurnal Pokemon based on time.

    Reply
    • I said this this morning, and I just noticed that someone else said this in 20 hours ago. We were both beat to it. On this topic, however, I don’t like how people keep saying that this is common sense. I mean, it was likely, yes, but it is still good to have confirmation. I keep seeing people (not generally here) getting ridiculed for getting excited over this.

      Reply
  21. Thank you everybody for the suggestions, but I’ve narrowed my choices down to Scizor and Jynx. I like Scizor better, but idk how I’ll fare against Lance without an ice type.

    Reply
          • I’ve heard multiple theories but yes it mainly has something to do with the U.K. I’ve also heard that they got rid of it to keep their E-10 rating

          • Well if it is to do with the UK my suggestion would be:
            1) Cut the game corner out of their versions of the games and put it in everyone elses.
            or
            2) Replace the game corner with an arcade type location w/o gambling and w/o stupid voltorb flip. Maybe like 4-6 different minigames where you can win tickets for prizes

          • I like the arcade idea. They need to add something like that back into the games. I miss the game corner and I also miss Safari Zones. We haven’t really had a new one since HGSS.

          • Well there was the ORAS safari zone, although it didn’t much feel like one. I think HGSS did it best.

          • I agree. I know we just got the ORAS safari but that was pretty much a copy and paste of the original. HGSS definitely had a unique safari zone. I’m hoping SuMo has something similar to the Johto one

    • I will tell you since i recently used jynx the only special attacking move it grts is powder snow when you catch it and blizzard at level 55 so good luck with that
      And you dont get ice beam tm until kanto

            And for a Scorpion anything near ice just don’t work since they are cold blooded and just won’t mix well

          And ground is NOT on of my favourites, though I like a lot of ground Pokemon, Nidoqueen is one my faves Love Steelix, Golurk , Gastrodom… Gliscor and torterra ( not my kind of thing, but one of the best designed IMO). And though a lot of ground type moves aren’t my thing, I do love sandstorm! ( Drews Absol, Grand Festival)

          Edit: Sandstorm is rock type….

          Reply
        • Really why should people who love the Fairy type, (like myself.) have to stop talking about it, and hoping that when a Pokemon evolves, it will gain that typing, when you don’t have to stop annoying people with your ground type worshiping. Hmmmmmm? >:) I think its only fare. LOL

          Reply
  23. I really do not get why people are so upset that Rowlet might be ground type…It would resist more things, be immune to electric and as long as it can still fly and use flying type moves, wouldn’t it just be more versatile?

    Reply
    • I have no problem with it being ground type. My problem is I don’t think they would suddenly swap typing’s like that on a starter Pokemon.

      Reply
      • No. I think it could change to Ground type in the end. When a lot of the Mega’s evolve, their types change. When Skrelp evolves it goes from Poison/Water to Poison/Dragon and looses its Water typing. When Scizoe evolves it turns into Bug/Steele from Bug/Flying. When Surskit evolves it goes from Bug/Water to Bug/Flying. Nincada goes from Bug/Ground to Bug/Ghost and Bug/Flying. Skorupi goes from Bug/Poison to Poison/Dark when it evolves. Swablu is Normal/Flying then gets Dragon/Flying then Dragon/Fairy… I think I’ve made my point.

        Reply
        • Ehh type shifting isn’t all that uncommon
          Usually it’s secondary type that can be changed but extremely rarely Primary (only like a few instances Swablu, Fletchling)
          And the infinitely rare dropping of second type Bellossum
          But this case I don’t see why they would do something like dropping Rowlet’s flying since it took such a risk of making it the first dual first stage starter outside Bulbasaur, if that wasn’t the case they would’ve made Rowlet pure Grass

          Reply
        • You actually didn’t make your point because none of those examples are starter Pokemon. So… You fail. Wanna try that again?

          Reply
          • Yeah because Pokemon are Pokemon. Just because they’re starters doesn’t mean their typings can’t change during their final evolution. My point was that they do change, it’s not out of the realm. Charizard turns into a Dragon when it mega evolves, which I know is a little different but it’s typing still changes.

  24. Oh For anyone who is still in denial that Alola region is not based on numerous islands… Amazon spoilers return and confirm the back of the box. ?

    The description for the games reads “[e]mbark on a new adventure as a Pokemon Trainer and catch, battle, and trade all-new Pokemon on the tropical islands of a new Region and become a Pokemon Champion!” Amazon’s description confirms the theory that the Alola region will be a series of islands. ?

    1) Fairy, Ice, Dragon, Dark, Psychic, Ghost
    2) Steel, Water, Fire, Electric, Grass, Flying
    3) Fighting, Normal, Poison, Bug, Rock, Ground

    • In Japanese, Double Slap is known as Round Trip’ Slap. So, it does have the ability to hit multiple times because the name doesn’t correlate. Blame the English Translating Team. It’s basically how Aerial Ace is called Shallow Return since a lot of Pokemon learn the move and not to heavily associate it with the Flying-Typing.

      Reply
    • I believe it is called Double Slap not because of how many times it hits, but because oh how fast it hits.
      Like when someone thinks your going to slow, (Gym Teachers. LOL) they yell “Common move it, move it, double time, move, move, move.” LOL. And also when you see it being used in the anime, the characters arm/hand is usually moving in rapid succession back and fourth while hitting. And it usually hits far more times than five in the anime. 😀

      So that’s why I think that its called “Double Slap.”

  29. I’m glad that multiple islands are virtually confirmed. I don’t know why people thought that the first island was the complete region. These means that Alola might be one of the most sprawling region. I cannot wait to see the info on June 2nd.

    • You could easily figure out that the island shown would be one of many. There’s no way it’s the only one, given that many of the places shown in the first announcement trailer are not visible (from what I remember) in the first island!

  30. You guys.. I’ve been thinking about it. Based on the positioning of the types .. I really do think Rowlett turning Grass Ground is more probable. But.. I also read a YouTube’s comment that these my just be their typing for their first evo.. so Litten Could gain a second type. If it’s a trio.. maybe.. Litten will become part fairy or psychic at the end..
    Also if the info comes out the 2nd.. doesn’t that mean corocoro promised it’s own information.. different from what we first get??

      • THANK YOU!!! It’s not that they haven’t done type changing Pokemon before. It has happened, but for the starters it’s improbable for it to happen. Sure you could say there’s a first time for everything, but in this case I’d have to agree with you and say it’s bs lol I don’t think they will ever do type changing starters.

        Reply
          • I wouldn’t even say it’s because of tradition though. You have to look at this very systematically. Yes Pokemon is for everyone, but GF look at very specific clientele and have their own ways of doing things. Again there is a first time for everything and it could happen, but people are reading too much into the order of these images. For all we know it’s just how the programmer for the site inputted the info and the actual order means nothing. GF are going to do the starters differently than they would other Pokemon and that means in a lot of ways the starters are going to end up being for a lack of a better term kind of boring type wise. They won’t experiment with the starers because they have to be the constant throughout the entire game. GF aren’t thinking about the people who dumb their starter at the beginning they are thinking about those who keep them.

            On a side note I’m glad we have the same postilion on this subject hahaha

    • lol wut? How would Litten become Fire/Psychic or even Fairy. I think it could only go two ways in complete typing:
      Rowlett: Grass/Flying, Litten: Fire/Ground, and Poppilo: Water/Fighting Rowlett: Grass/Ground, Litten: Fire, and Poppilo: Water/Fighting

      Reply
      • This is ALL honestly rediculous. Have you not realized that for the past 4 generations, we as fans have feverishly predicted the final stages of the starter Pokemon and have been wrong EVERY time?

        Rowlet won’t be part ground because they’re not going to change a starter pokemons type that drastically. They wouldn’t give the world an avian, grass/flying starter just to make it another grass/ground type in the long run.

        Litten will most likely not be ground either seeing as we already have so much of the fire/ground combination but it’s not completely out of the range of possibility. I’m personally still banking on it becoming a dark type based on the extreme levels of black in its coloration but any thing could happen.

        As for poplio, this ones all up in the air and I really fear that they will completely fuck over its final Evo wether it be by its type or its design. Best of luck to this poor guy.

        Bottom line is that whatever you’re thinking about the way these starter evolutions will turn out, it’ll probably be the opposite

    • Where are you getting Fairy and Psychic from? the reason people think the evolutions will be ground and fighting for them is because of the images form the website. If Litten was going to be either of the two you said there would have been an image. I don’t think they would have posted the other images and not one for Litten too. The images are ore or less place holders and technically weren’t suppose to be found in the first place.

  31. What do you guys think/want Alola Post game will be like?
    I want something like sinnoh where there is a whole island off with new things except i want it to be a couple of islands. One of those islands containing Battle frontier. I hope the post game is pretty big sure delta story and looker saga was “cool” and all but once you finished that there was nothing to do. i think i want something that can last me a while. Battle frontier does just that. To each their own though, some people dont do after game battle tower like place and just like exploration. I would love a good mix.

    Reply
    • That would make for a good post game. I want to see something similar to the Delta Episode done again. Maybe, they could use Volcanion and Magearna as a post game story. A new battle facility would be neat with some other side quests and legendaries sprinkled in.

      Reply
      • I would love if they made catching all the legends side quests. Like remember how getting event legends in gen 4 were side quests. It would be cool if all legends were like that, rather than go to this place and the legend is just sitting there.

  32. I said Litten may get Fairy or Psychic in its final evo only if Rowlett gets ground. This way they all become super effective against the type they were weak against.. which would make your rival getting the weaker type make sense as well..

  37. So since we got some fresh blood around I want to ask a personal question
    If you could have a custom Mega Accessory what would be (Best Three)
    Mega Hat: a Cowboy/Safari hat with Pokemon teeth and claws in the rim with the keystone In the center
    Mega Claw: I would “wedge” the keystone into a Ursaring Claw which I fashioned into a shamanistic necklace
    Mega Belt: just a thick ruddy leather belt with the keystone in a Sideway Cubone skull styled belt buckle (in the eye socket)

  39. A question for everyone. Do you prefer shiny hunting or finding a shiny randomly? I honestly prefer to find them randomly but still enjoy a good shiny hunt now and then

    Reply
    • I like both. Shiny hunting is so gratifying because it takes so much time to get them. Finding a random wild shiny is super exciting because of the surprise

      Reply
      • Yeah. Usually I don’t plan my teams when I do a play through and sometimes I add a Pokemon I never thought I would use because It happened to be shiny. Weedle and Lillipup for example

        Reply
    • Randomly. There’s a pureness to the happiness you experience when it’s random that just can’t be replicated by actively wasting time and effort searching for one.

      Reply
      • I agree. I’ve done a few shiny hunts before but finding a shiny you’re not expecting is way more enjoyable.

        Reply
          • No I feel the same way. I discovered how much I love Azumarill just by finding a shiny in azurill in black 2. If I never found a shiny one I really don’t think I’d ever use one

          • I found a shiny tangela in the Sinnoh safari zone and it was so nerve wracking but I caught it! Proudest moment of my pokemon career

          • Nice! I found a shiny Machop in the safari zone and it ran but I was able to catch a shiny magnemite in my SS safari zone. I hate encountering shinies in the safari zone.

    • I actually prefer hunting because i love getting something i want and the build up of suspense hunting something. Plus most of the time random shinies arent competitively viable

      Reply
    • Well considering I’ve only ever found one shiny randomly I guess I’d have to go with hunting. Sure it’s technically been made “easier” than it was in past generations, but the current methods still don’t guarantee you a shiny. I have had plenty of times where I’ve nearly given up and then suddenly BAM A SHINY! It does take patience and your not guaranteed one quickly in anyway. Even the easier ways can take considerable amounts of time. To each there own though! Shiny Pokemon are just fun in any way lol

      Reply
    • I’d rather hunt. Yeah it’s nice showing off one you worked on hatching, but they’ve lost all value and the excitement of them have gone down. When I hatch them I’m like “Oh look another shiny. Well no one is going get excited about it since literally anyone can easily get one now.” Even in the TCG shinies now have uncommon cards, like the upcoming set Steam Seige, shiny Azumarill is uncommon instead of a secret or ultra rare.

      Reply
      • I find hatching eggs so tedious…..I think my ditto is foreign, but I’m too lazy to take it out of the day care lol I like the other forms of hunting much better. At the very least they make you feel like you’re doing something lol

        • I got tired of them. I hatched a shiny Oshawott first egg and then I’ve hatched two shiny Spinarak in a row during IV breeding.

    • I don’t really hunt for shinies anymore, and I prefer to find them randomly because you were not expecting it. I still remember how my heart stopped when I found a shiny zubat (first shiny ever). Rnging for a shiny feebas in Pokemon HGSS was really rewarding though

  42. possible unpopular opinion time:

    Kalos had a relatively bad regional design. It’s completely linear and most routes are relatively forgettable.

    Reply
    • tea!

      I mean they did it to make it easier for the young kids getting into their first pokemon game but still it was very linear

      • I mean, at the time of release Kalos was awesome, but I think the completely new game engine, 3d graphics, Pokemon models etc really covered up its major flaws.

        My thoughts on this basically come from looking at ORAS and mainly the limited amount of gameplay we’ve seen of Sun and Moon

    • I liked Kalos
      And aren’t most regions almost as linear in terms of exploration?
      And I can’t say routes aren’t forgettable (though placing names isn’t a strong point for me personally since I remember via attribute) , some have their charms, The Cliffs over Cyllage, the autumn forest, the badlands, the frost cavern and lastly that big marsh

      Reply
    • Personally, I quite liked Kalos.
      Parts of the region are quite forgettable, I would admit that. But the region does make up for it’s beauty, Kalos is no doubt the prettiest region we’ve had by far.

      In terms of linearity, I’d say that Kalos gives the illusion that it’s a vast explorable region but it’s really not. It’s still just as linear as any Pokemon game. However, BW Unova still takes the cake for being the most linear.

      The only gripe I have about the region is the lack of facilities and region-specific features. Trainer PR videos were shit and the Battle Maison was just annoying.

      Reply
      • BW2’s Unova make up for the linearity of BW1 Unova! BW2 Unova was actually pretty nice to be honest and each town had a little something to help it beeing remembered. You can’t say as much about Kalos…

        Reply
        • Me too. Like Cyllage city, for example, was aesthetically really cool. But there was no point to that bike path so it was just pointless…I feel very little effort was put into things outside of making them look good.

          Reply
          • “I feel very little effort was put into things outside of making them look good” kind of sums up how I feel about Kalos as a whole. It had so much potential but GF were too busy making sure it looked pretty to make sure it had any depth behind the prettiness :/ That’s not to say it sucks…I just feel it could have been so much better.

    • I thought it was very linear but I liked some of the areas of Kalos a lot. Especially the one with the foresty fall atmosphere and I also liked the coastal areas! But otherwise everything was pretty bland.

      Reply
      • Coastal Kalos was the best part of the region, the rest was really forgetable (except maybe snowbell city) victory road was nothing compared to the one of black and white two, Lumiose was just a mess. I mean, this city was far to big for nothing. There was nothing really interesting in that city, it was big just of the sake of beeing big! Not like Castelia of Jubilife, who were two of the biggest citis but happened to haave interesting things to do in them… Anyway, I hope that if our next metropole have to be massive, it’ll at least be interesting…

    • I think XY routes were actually pretty cool and it was very unique and also in 3d. Most of the routes werent that liner. Honestly i think XY gets more hate than Unova does, and unova has an awful region design. You literally move in a circle. Unova just has a story to back it up. XY story was pretty bad but i thought the region looked amazing. Also most routes in pokemon games are forgettable lol. To each their own though.

  47. I really wish Nintendo was doing a usual E3 this year, but I understand that the timing is just awkward for them. We will have an announcement blowout later this year equivalent to E3 for the NX and its launch titles, but it’s just not the same. My May just seems a little empty without the usual E3 hype…I am excited for Zelda U though! We’ll get the name (finally), much more gameplay and other information. It’s not all bad.

    • Same for me. I am really not hyped for E3 because instead of getting info on a lot of games, we are getting a ton of info on one game. Also, we can’t necissarily count on a big amount of pokemo info, which is concerning.

      Reply
    • I fully understand Nintendo’s reasoning. They do not want to repeat what happened with the Wii U with the lack of third-party titles. From a slue of rumors, the NX is supposed to be shown to the public between September and October, giving consumers about 5 months to prepare. The NX will be a beastly console and I hope it brings Nintendo back to front-lines of gaming. I’m excited for Zelda Wii U! Instead of getting it for my Wii U, I’m getting it for the NX, since the graphics, controls, and overall features would be better handled on that system.

  49. This comment is heavily inspired by CoolGlaceon, but do any of you all think the starters have a Circus-vibe? Think about it, Rowlett could be the Ring Master, Litten could be the Tiger/Animal who jumps in the Hoop of Flames, and Poppilo is obviously the playful, ball-bouncing seal. The Kalos Starters were obviously based off of Fantasy-Games or General Classes with Chespin becoming a Knight, Fennekin becoming a Wizard, and Froakie becoming a Ninja. I just hope none of them become a creepy clown…

            -They have access to an op ability Pixilate

For all we know we’ll get one each month and Masuda will set up a countdown for all of them. I guess we’ll find out, but I would agree I don’t think this announcement in particular will be just for typing and names.

        This is clearly a new region and generation, to say it’s generation .5 says they’re adding to the previous generation which is absurd

Nintendo’s press statements have stated that it’s an entirely new Pokemon Generation. Essentially, it’s Generation 7, not 6.5, live with it.
