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. 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

        Reply
        • 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.

          Reply
    • 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

      Reply
  2. Alright some gave some….interesting Mega Accessories
    But now next is our Pokemon’s Mega Holsters
    Now your top 5 Mega Pokemon
    Garchomp: a black and silver plate of metal with the stone on the center, with chains around the neck and under arms
    Heracross: Red and Maroon Wrestling Belt
    Aerodactyl: now I want to give it something like a bone necklace or fang necklace
    Camerupt: Burnt rusted shackle on around his right hoof
    Swampert: a gold shoulder pad

    A thought occurred what of ghost Pokemon, I just can’t see Gengar physically holding anything

    Reply
      • Yeah I could just see a crystal ball that Gengar keeps inside his body, and only see it as a glowing orb through his body but when he cackles its on his tongue

        ……would it be in bad tastes to give Gengar a tongue piercing

        Reply
  3. Well, gave up on the shiny fenniken. Just decided to name it Autumn and I’m goona keep it as a Braixen. I really hope SuMo expands on customization because I love making my character really cute!

  4. 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

      Reply
      • 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

        Reply
        • that how it is which new games and mechanics. After a while you realize that they are only seasonal game and not lifetime

          Reply
    • Some towns are just so pointless too. A lot of them you just kinda walk through and continue on without paying any attention to it. Maybe stop at a Pokemon center at least

      Reply
    • 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…

        Reply
    • I agree that the routes were largely forgettable. I liked more of the later half than I did the earlier half, though. Cities like Laverre, Dendemille, Anistar and Snowbelle were really neat and had character.

      Reply
      • I actually don’t like those warping thingies, it’s frustrating.

        Wait
        CONSPIRACY THEORY
        Valerie is actually a Team ?(Alola Villains) experiment in which they tried to fuse pokemon and human, she escaped half way and ended up with completely black eyes, and ran to laverre town and set up her gym. She thought the warpsydoodles were cool, so she put that as the gym puzzle (I just saw X-Men Apocalypse, so the hal way thing is stuck in my head)

        Reply
    • 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.
      But if anything i think you have the popular opinion not unpopular.

  5. I ran into a zigzagoon three routes in a row. Then I got Wurmple (Already had silcoon)

    I’m in Dewford and my team consists of Combusken, Beautifly, Whismur, Zigzagoon, Magikarp and Zubat. Things are looking better than they were in Rustboro.

  6. Gonna shiny hunt for a Piplup now! Watched the HGSS randomizer nuzlocke on GameboyLuke’s channel and decided I want one too 🙂

  7. Boredom seeps through my crusty bones once more
    Its roughly 2 weeks until the Sun and Moon details and 5 weeks until E3 which will have info, not out the wazoo but some to keep us titilated for the long boredom of summer nothingness
    So any ideas gamewise I kinda feel like replaying OR, LoZ Oot, Luigi’s Mansion DM, BK, Pikmin 3, hell may even try Earthbound again
    I got nothing going on

    Reply
  8. Speculation time:

    If the Alola starters are based off a Circus troupe, would Litten’s final evolution be based off the Tiger that goes through a flaming hoop?

    Reply
  9. 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.

    Reply
      • Can you explain to me why people love and praise that game, even when it was just being funded? It looks like a good game, but people made a big deal of it before they knew anything about it.

        Reply
        • Its predecessor was extremely popular, most of the hype comes from those that loved the previous games and want to relive the hype and nostalgia they had with the originals.

          Reply
          • I’m saying it basically made some people’s childhoods
            And I’m truly grateful for this revival

    • 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.

  10. What are all your favorite gym leader from each region? For me it’s
    Giovanni
    Morty
    Liza and Tate
    Maylene
    Roxie
    Valerie

    Reply
  11. 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…

  12. What would you guys like to see as post-game content?

    – Battle Frontier or something equivalent to that
    – Ability to travel to Kalos or another region
    – Episode Z where they finish off the Kalos story because it was left TOO open-ended
    – Rematches
    – Quests / you acting like an actual champion
    – People challenging you for the champion title

    Reply
    • I would love to see traveling to Unova. I think it’d be cool if you were challenged by your rival for the champion title, if that is the route he takes.

      Reply
    • Lol you listed most of my list
      Battle frontier
      Rematches
      Travel to Kalos/ a whole couple islands to explore
      A story after the game
      Plenty of legend to catch

      Reply
    • Mine are a lot of the same.

      – Battle frontier (with multiple battle areas, not just one)
      – Kalos travel to end the story
      – Gym leader rematches
      – E4 level and Pokemon upgrade
      – Legendaries WITH ACTUAL STORIES. I want I between the number of Kalos Legendaries and sinnoh Legendaries, but I want to work to get them. When a delivery lady plops a legendary in your team, it is out of character. They are LEGENDARY Pokemon, not gifts.
      – A final challenge trainer, like Red (if we are going to Kalos, maybe AZ?)

      Reply
    • Gym-Rematches with updated teams
      PWT
      Lots of places to explore
      A Hyper-Über manslaughterer’s island filled with the most extremely powerful trainers and sky high wild Pokemon (Like 70-100)
      Some kind of minigame like the Sinnoh Underground

      Reply
    • I’d like a feature called Groom Kukui. You get to bathe him and stuff and you can unlock characters such as Byron and Archie as well.

      Reply
    • Definitely a trip back to Kalos. Even if isn’t the full region.

      Kalos felt skipped and an overthought. I feel like they aren’t done telling its story.

  13. Favorite gym leaders:
    – Gen 1: Blue, ’cause he’s cute
    – Gen 2: Falkner, he’s cute and I would want to be a Flying-type gym leader
    – Gen 3: Wallace, he reminds me of me but less… showy/extravagant/rambunctious
    – Gen 4: Volkner, he’s calm and collected and I like those type of people because I’m the exact oppposite
    – Gen 5: Iris, she reminds me of me
    – Gen 6: Olympia, she embodies perfection

    Reply
    • Yes! Olympia is queen! Elegance and sorcery! She looks like an old and wise bitch who doesn’t even need to try to defeat you! Disappointed by her team tho…

      Reply
    • I’ll say it once I’ll say it again
      I’m a fan of Iris in game and anime, she’s so much different then the girly girls that get suckered into traveling with that blockhead
      She got spunk

  14. Speaking of Gym Leaders whoever we get in Sun and Moon is going to be a Traveling companion (Or at the very least related to own) and quite frankly I’m interested in how that will would play out
    Brock a mentorish family man with a womanizing streak pretty much took up every slot up until BW where we got a classy eccentric Jack of all weird trades who also did the cooking, lastly a blonde out of shape nerd
    What do you want to see in a traveling companion

    Also I hope they re-establish a rival who sticks to the whole season and I cannot stress this enough PLEASE MAKE HIM OR HER A COMPLETE ASSHOLE IM SO SICK OF NICE GUY RIVALS, in other words I want to see a rival in the anime (or in game) who’s a bigger jerk than me

  15. Ok, worst gym leaders.

    Erika
    Bugsy (What kind of name even is that? They didn’t even try)
    Juan (don’t kill me)
    Volkner
    Marlon
    Clemont

          • I have plenty of reasons to hate this type
            -Excessively overhyped
            -instead of just countering Dragons they replaced them on top
            -They have access to an op ability Pixilate
            -Their introduction caused everyone to assume anything remotely pink or cute as a Fairy type and pushes so many things to be a Fairy when clearly not and that just sickens me to no end
            -Pretty much anything Retyped to a fairy has received significant boosts in everything
            -Mega Mawile is beyond ridiculous, one Swords Dance and you are basically done, if you can’t endure the Sucker Punch you can’t win

      • I don’t think so… Why would Masuda make a countdown again if its just gonna be that? That doesn’t seem like him to countdown a little reveal like that..

        But who knows. It’s possible!

        Reply
        • Well considering there’s really only been one reveal in this fashion before (i.e. the last trailer we got) we don’t really know how they plan on doing each announcement. 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.

          Reply
          • That’s true. I think we get the names of the legends (not the types), a few starter route pokemon, and protagonists.

            Maybe a region map if we’re lucky.
