We are less than a day away from getting new information about the most anticipated games of 2016; how am I going to be able to concentrate at work tomorrow?! SOUND THE HYPE HORN! Today’s topic of discussion is: will the new trailer show off some early Pokémon?
In the reveal of Pokémon Sun and Moon we saw a wireframe of what appears to be the “bird” of the region which will most likely be available to trainers early in the game. We also saw a mysterious dog-like Pokémon in CoroCoro’s “exclusive” trailer.
Are there any particular types of Pokémon you’d like to see? Perhaps a bug Pokémon? I know that’s what I’m pulling for.

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokémon Sun & Moon Discussion
am i the only one here?
*Burrows out of the ground*
Nope
Hey, you’re disturbing my roots 🙁
Tough luck buster, you wouldn’t have anything to lay your roots in without the ground
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxmArfOWNv8
Hey im back! So you still willing to trade my shiny golurk for hoopa?
I swear to the darkest deity that as ever graced humanity’s fearful mortal psyche that if this reveal is just Solgaleo and Lunalaa names and nothing more I will personally invoke the fury of a thousand salty Suns!
They will reveal a Ground/Fairy, just for you 😛
Hopefully this reveal will be quite bulky, something to keep us going for a good month (one can dream right?)
It’s exciting just to wait and think what new things we’ll get, hopefully more official artwork!
What I would like:
-Character art
-3-5 new pokemon with typings (new bird/rodent/bug)
-First gym leader
-Legendary names & typings
-Some nice screenshots
-Would be nice to know how many new pokemon to expect overall, but won’t count on it
-An unexpected surprise
-Name of the evil team
-Electric/Dark typing
-New Megas
-Synchro
-Starter 2nd evos
-More info on Alola
If we get either one of these things, I would be very happy
I would be very happy if videos was the new method of grtting main source of info. Anyway i think it will show early pokemon. More places in alola and some characters. Honestly im ok with anything. You know what would be cool Poison Fire type Nuclear pokemon with it’s move nuclear erosion that has poison fire type (and can hit steel types for super effective damage)
I would like to see new type combinations.
Dark/Electric
Poison/Steel
Bug/Ice
Bug/Psychic
Bug/Dark
Electric/Ice
Fighting/Ground
And then some combinations that haven’t been used that much
Fairy/Bug I would like to see too
That would be interesting. I’m honestly surprised that some combinations haven’t been used yet. I also forgot to add Bug/Dragon(Why you no this type Flygon?)
Flygon should have been Bug/Dragon yeah. It doesn’t even remotely resemble something that would live underground (and yes, I know some bugs/insects do live underground)
Yeah Gamefreak is weird with type combos sometimes. Why isn’t Vivillon bug/Fairy, Electivire fighting/Electric, Golduck Water/Psychic, or Ninetales Fire/Psychic
Umbreon should have been Dark/Psychic imo
Nope
What??? Why would there ever be a dual type eevee evolution??
At least with bug/flying you get that 100% accuracy STAB hurricane with compound eyes
What?? Nothing about electricity says fighting type
Electivire
Antlion Nymph
A sand dwelling insect that builds put traps
And in some cultures Dragonflies are called Sand Dragons
Sand = Ground, Dragon = Dragon
A Bug/Dark-type could definitely be a cockroach Pokémon. Hawaii has 19 different species of roaches with the Periplaneta americana being the largest. (*cringe*) Here are some pics of the Thief Bug monster from Ragnarok Online for visuals to a possible Pokémon. We all hate these creatures in this reality, but in the fantasy world of Pokémon, we just might
love ’emhate ’em less.Bug/Dark would be amazing
Can it be cute like the cockroach from wall-e?
I’m surprised we don’t have a cockroach Pokemon yet. I made a fakemon Cockroach based on a hazmat suit that was rivals with my nuclear Ant
Actually Genesect has cockroach qualities
It’s as old as the cockroach right?
Bug/fairy lunar moth please
Yes! Lunar moths are beautiful and need to be made into a pokemon
I really want a bug/dragon type sooo bad.
Would like to see another Bug/Ghost as well.
Yes, one with more than 1 HP
Yes please! I really do like how unique Shedinja is though
Agreed. I’d love to see a bug/dark type and another water/bug type a lot potential for cool designs there.
Love Surskit, so another Water/Bug I would like to see. I think Bug types need more love anyway, and a buff too.
Agreed. I really hope Game Freak remove that Bug resistance from Fairy types. I hope Poison, Ice and Rock types get more love this gen too.
Yessss! We could’ve had two Pokemon with that type already: Flygon and Yanmega but noooooo!
I want a mega Yanmega so badly. Yanmega is just so cool looking
Mega Scolipede please
That would be sick too..
Would it keep Speed Boost as its mega ability? If so it could be a monster!
I know right?! Especially Flygon it just looks like a bug/dragon type.
Mega Flygon was supposed to appear in ORAS, but they scratched it due to production time. Maybe it’ll be in Sun/Moon, with Bug/Dragon its Mega typing.
Yeah I read that. I wonder how many other Pokemon had megas scraped?
No idea, but Mega Flygon was confirmed by someone from Game Freak, they had to let go of the idea, because there were several designs, and they couldn’t agree on either of them.
Poor Flygon. It’s so overshadowed
Meh I think Flygon is widely appreciated by a lot of pkmn fans.
Not going to happen EVER
IT IS THE ELEMENTAL SPIRIT OF THE DESERT
DESERT AS IN SAND
SAND AS IN GROUND
NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE THE TYPE IT LOOKS LIKE
lol, looks like I hit a nerve there. Flygon=the pride of Ground types huh? xD
I have been saying this for years
-Megas NEVER lose primary type so Flygon would remain a Ground/Dragon indefinitely
-Despite being inspired by a Antlion, Trapinch plays more in the aspect of tunneling and put traps then a Insectoid
-Flygon’s whole theme is this sandstorm whipping dragon that has a mystical singing sound as it flaps its wings so not a Bug in any way
I thought it was artist’s block?
It was
Don’t laugh, but for the longest time I thought Luxray was electric/dark. Like, I literally just found out he’s pure electric.
Lucrative does look like an Electric/Dark type
There’s 6 months to go until release, and 7 islands left, what if they do an island a month, show a few pokemon and features, and have a special island left secret?
I would be fine with that. As long as info is isn’t too revealing.
Did I miss something and we know that there are going to be exactly seven more islands? Or is this an assumption.
Assumption. Probably referring to Hawaii’s eight islands.
So we will more than likely get another Pokemon based on an inanimate object this gen (they’re getting pretty frequent) and while it may not be revealed tomorrow, it could be soon (honesge was pretty early if I remember correctly). What inspirations do you hope game freak draws from? I personally would love to see a ghost/ flying type fan or parasol, and maybe another food related ‘mon. What do you think?
A pokemon based on a mirror could be really cool
Umm..? You must’ve forgotten all about this Pokémon.
I thought he was a shield…
Bronze + mirror = Bronzor.
Although, I’m sure it could work as a levitating shield to protect its trainer.
Yes, bronzor is based on a bronze mirror..and then it turns into a bell. I think an actual mirror from the modern era would be cool. I hate bronzor.
>:O
How could you hate it? I love Bronzor and Bronzong! I doubt Game Freak will design another mirror-like Pokémon. Bronzor was great for that because it wasn’t just some regular modern-day mirror, it was an ancient bronze mirror.
I think it’s ugly as hell. They were also really annoying to fight back in sinnoh. Good thing they nerfed steel type. I like Bronzong better though. An ice mirror pokemon would be nice, I think.
A few gym leaders would be cool. I hope they look more diverse this time (and no ice gym, enough is enough).
The first female villian based on Demi Moore with a 530 base stat poison/fairy pokemon as her main.
My favorite fakemon is banana bird. It combines one of my favorite fruits and bird!
That’s….surprisingly adorable.
But another Grass/Flying, and we already have a few of those xd, including Rowlet.
It should be fruit/flying.
Could be normal/ flying.
Could be, but bananas grow from plants, so Grass/Flying would make more sense.
Lol cuz game freak always makes so much sense with all their typing a. Lol 🙂
Got any examples?
Like everything
There’s a convo going on in this comment section about Flygon not being bug/dragon despite being a dragonfly. That’s one example. There’s plenty more. Not complaining, cuz there’s nothing I can do about it, but yeah…
Granted it could be normal, just because IT LOOKS LIKE ONE DOESNT AUTOMATIC MEAN ITS ONE
Hell it could just have bright yellow feathers and just be in the shape of one
Tropius is shook!
Breed a Tropius with an empty slot to get this
That’s actually Really cute and we’ll done.. one of the Only fakemon I like..
My work from the last night ….I know ppl don’t like Litten will be bipedal but I don;t think it will be bad idea though. http://pre04.deviantart.net/b051/th/pre/i/2016/153/4/a/pokemon_sun_and_moon__litten__fake__evolution__by_shadragz-da4p9xr.jpg
Quad·ru·ped!
/ˈkwädrəˌped/!
On four legs!
>:U
oh…I think I post this in the wrong place ….I still did the same mistake over and over and I can’t learn.
I’d like the standard bug pokemon to be above average this time for a change. You know what I mean? Like actually useful and combative. It’s’ kinda lame how we catch them just to kill time until smt better shows up, right?
I feel ya but Vivillon is not bad and Butterfree can do no wrong in eyes lol.
Scolipede is solid too
Scolipede is dope I used one back in Gen 5. And its a monsters in competitive thanks to speed boost.
I loved that about the unova games. The standard beginner bugs were quite good. Scolipede with speed boost is great and Leavanny was a much improved Parasect. Then they had to go and bring back the generic Butterfly in Kalos. Don’t get me wrong, Vivillon was cool but why the standard Bug/flying mess?
Vivillon had everything to be a bug/dark. Why it isn’t it’s a mystery.
Because GF sometimes makes no sense. Like the Flabebe family, should have been Grass/Fairy, yet its a pure Fairy, despite it learning several Grass moves and they literally are flowers.
Yeah, but for instance, I’ve always thought Vivillon should’ve been a more hardcore bug pokemon. It’s design could’ve’ gone towards a bug/dark type with lots of hellish sp moves and status moves.
They should have given a different secondary typing for each of the seperate designs imo.
That would’ve been really interesting in terms of strategy.
Fingers crossed for Bug/Dark types this gen!
I’d also appreciate if gym leaders had 6 pokemon as a standard. Sometimes it takes so long to get to them and when the battle happens is such a huge letdown; way too easy.
That’s my one of my issues with Pokemon X/Y it was too damn easy all Gym leaders only had 3 Pokemon wtf.
X/Y were rushed games. I don’t expect the same with Sun and Moon, since this year is the franchise’s 20th anniversary, so they will want to make these new games solid.
I hope so man. X/Y was a major disappointment and my expectations were really high. I’m keeping my expectations very low with Sun and Moon.
X/Y didn’t disappoint me, but they also didn’t took hold of me, like D/P R/S/E or HGSS. So much potential gone to waste, and it was rather pathetic they basically added no content post-league, other than Looker and Kiloude City.
I hate to say but X/Y was a bad game imo. Pathetic storyline, non existent post game, only 69 new Pokemon, too linear, and waaaaaay to easy etc.
I agree. We had a good story with BW and BW2 had so many features it was amazing. Then XY came along and was very disappointing. ORAS was worse IMO
ORAS was just as bad as X/Y because it didn’t feel like I was playing R/S/E with better graphics. They changed it too much and made it super easy like X/Y and they didn’t include the Battle Frontier :/
I only bought ORAS, because I (typical me) lost my Emerald game. I get that its a gen 6 remake, thus the inclusion of megas. But it totally disappointed me overall, gen 3 games were actually my #1 favourites, Still trying to get my hands on Emerald lol, no luck thus far.
Same here! 3rd is my favourite. Pokemon Emerald will forever be my favourite Pokemon Game, I spent my childhood trying to collect the battle symbols at The Frontier.
Yeah that was a dick move of GF to display the battle Frontier as a coming soon model in the post game.
They dot release rushed games.. they start figuring them out at least a full gen before
Along with new type combos I would also like to see differences in the same family of Pokemon. Similar to Spinda. Also different shiny colors for each Pokemon
Would be nice to see Johto starter megas
I wonder how Mega Meganium would end up looking like.
Flower butt to compliment mega venasaur lol
Lol probably.
Mega Typhlosion <3
Hell yeah! I wish it learned earth power so the mega is fire/ground
Yeah you play too far into names and labels
As much as I love Ground types it just won’t cut it
I would be nice though but it’ll most likely stay mono fire. If that’s the case, then I hope it gets drought (unlikely also but who knows)
I’d definitely love to finally get those. Hopefully they can make them all pretty useful Megas. I dunno whether they should get new dual typings, or just remain mono Grass/Fire/Water, haha.
I would love dual typing, but I don’t know how useful it would be. Typhlosion will probably stay mono fire. I can see Meganium be grass/fairy but I do the know of any clues that would lead to that. Feraligatr I can see water/(dark or dragon)
I would want Fire/Ground like you said above, don’t listen to Earthen. I would give it Drought to protect it from water types too. EARTH POWER! (Also I love Camerupt, Fire/Ground all the way)
Yes listen to Earthen
Typhlosion is called the Volcano Pokemon solely because of the fire ports on its neck, and it spews out flames as it fights
Yes it can learn Lava Plume and Eruption but sadly those are fire attacks and playing on the dex entry stating it rubs it’s fur to create explosive blasts
Just very little Ground Type properties
Meh, CAMERUPT FIRE/GROUND POWER
Well, in his defense, he has a point due to the fact that Typhlosion does that learn Earth Power in any way. I would still love fire/ground with drought.
I have a Bug/Dark type saved up for a special occasion
Pestuzz and Vampsiphyre (Name is a WIP)
Mosquito Pokemon
And like the real insect only females evolve (and if anyone says Vespiquen)
And the big hook is that they have a signiture Ability Power Drain that increases damage done by HP stealing moves and learn a signiture attack which is like a super Leech Life,
Definitely wanna see more Bug and Dark, whether its as a type combination, or seperate mons.
I want my demon Mosquito
Or bug/steel mosquito
Syringito!
No, Bug/Dark because what’s more evil than gigantic Mosquito that drains prey to a lifeless dried husk
No steel
Well if they combined it with a syringe it would be pretty sweet since they both draw blood. Vespiquen should’ve been bug/dark
What possible reason would Vespiquen be a Dark type
Look it’s my idea and it would be more unique as a Bug/Dark type
Is it really that hard to think of why Vespiquen would be bug/dark? Do I really need to spell it out?
it’s a queen bee, not some megalomaniac dictator bug
I mean it’s one of the most menacing looking bugs with dark coloring to boot so dark wouldn’t be a stretch imo
It would be, you people go too far on appearances
And it’s a bee, Yellow and Black isn’t far off
Another example: if bidoof was a dark type, people would say “it looks nothing like a dark type” so looks are something. Sorry to bring out the bidoof card.
Menacing yes but so are a lot of Pokemon
I hate how everyone just bases their accusations solely on looks
And honestly it’s just the rhomboid red eyes and the mandibles
Looks are probably one of the biggest things a type is based off of or vice versa. Then learnable moves are probably adjusted based on the types. How many non menacing/ or atleast cutesy Pokemon do you know that are dark types and don’t have an ounce of darkness in their personality/ looks?
Honestly 95% of all dark types have a reason
Umbreon and I guess Inkay and slightly Absol since of the whole bad luck thing kinda labeling but I don’t like labels otherwise all other dark types are either, evil, shady, cruel or thieves
As much as I do love your opinions Earthen, Vespiquen as a Dark/Bug is totally legit
You dumb hole
It doesn’t even do anything bad
Dark types doesn’t necessarily have to do bad things, look at Greninja for example.
It’s a ninja, everything they incorporate is through stealthy tricks and deception
Yes indeed, but that doesn’t mean they have bad natures, per se.
Feh but that one notion is extremely outweighed by all the naturally ruthless dark types
The only not directly evil Dark type is Umbreon, granted it hides in the shadows to strike
That’s exactly what Queen Bees are. It controls combee with pheromones…so it basically enslaves them and makes them do as she bids. That’s a little dark if you ask me. Wasps are angry and quick to anger, dark type is perfect for it.
Everyone knows that the grubs serves its queen/mother, yes they use their phenomenons to control underlings but honestly that’s common in hive minds
Still never going to be a Dark type get over it
I never said it is going to be, but said that it should’ve/could’ve been and I think my reasoning is justified. Either way, you always feel the need to fight with people who have different opinions than you.
Because people R stoopid and Earthen is right
I really didn’t liked Durant. Scizor is okay but overall the Bug/Steel combo hasn’t worked for me thus far.
Have you tried Forretress? it’s an awesome Pokemon.
Isn’t it Grass/Steel though. He said Bug/Steel 😛
Forretress is Bug/Steel. Ferrothorn is the grass/steel type, silly goose.
I- I’M TIRED OKAY. I forgot Forretress!
Everyone does ;__;
Cue the sad music
Tbh I totally forgot Forretress :O
Eh, can’t blame you. It’s weirdly forgotten, even though Brock used it, and it’s a pretty great tank in competitive.
vespiquen is shook
its the great carbinkle
And now that the dragon age is gone (welcome fairyland) maybe they could let us catch a nice dragon early in the game for a change, instead of holding them back until the end of it. Plus it’s bizarre how they evolve at outrageous levels (you, hydreigon).
As much as I love Hydreigon, it really evolves at a way too high level. Just like Braviary btw (epic mon though)
I mean they give you an Axew and Bagon in XY before the second gym
What, where? as a gift or do you catch it somewhere?
Zubat’s Roost and the cliff outside the roost
On both games, or exclusively to one of them?
Both
I agree evolving at level 64 is a bit much.
Totally agreed. I wish they would switch this part of the game up a little more. Why can’t the first few areas have a better plethora of types to catch as opposed to the standard birds, dogs, rodents, and fish. Hoen was the only gen to get this even somewhat right
What about the guy dressed like Red in the original trailer. ..
That was nothing major.
Who knows. .
This would make me very happy
The top hat doesn’t look organic enough otherwise it’s not bad
Just watch the real thing disappoint the masses
Yeah the top hat is the only thing that bothers me
Watch, everyone clowned on Popplio and he turns into the best starter
Oh I hope that happens lol
Me too! I’ve been Litten and Popplio since day 1!
Haha indeed! I’m personally picking Litten on my first playthough, and good lord am I hoping he ends up alright in at least the design department!
Oh, I ordered both versions, so one gets Litten (sun) and the other gets Popplio (moon)
That’s what I plan to do as well, although I’ll be getting Sun digitally, and if I end up having the money for it, get Moon the next day.
I ordered on Amazon Prime and it was $60 total for both, and free shipping and it’ll arrive the day they come out.
Damn, nice. I wonder if that deal’s still available lmao
Yeah, if you have Amazon Prime
Ooh, nice. I’ll check it out later for sure! 😀
But, they do have a promo where you can test Amazon Prime… Where you can get it for free for I believe 30 days. I doubt they’ll have the promo 30 days before Sun and Moon come out, but if they do, just sign up like 25 days before and then pre-order the games and get them delivered the day of. Then cancel the Prime membership so you don’t get charged $100 for another year.
Oh, okay! I’ll keep that in the back of my mind, and probably write a reminder somewhere. Thank you!
Make a note in your calendar or set an alert in your phone. The promo has been going on for a while so it could very well still be going on when the games come out (or at least 30 days before). Also, we should be friends on our 3Ds’
Alright. My friend code is 1349-5096-5450 ^^
I don’t have mine on me, but when I do later today I’ll tell you what they are. I have two 3Ds’
Alrighty!
Popplio is my bae. He better wind up the best
The number 2 is kind if cool… The 3rd is well designed.. but not for Rowlett.. or Pokemon in general to me
I’m not keen on the legs of the third one myself ;p
Um no. Just no. This just looks BAD and destroys all the things people like about rowlett
Let’s get that hype train chuggin’ guys!!!
Remember when that “leak” was going around with the owl Pokemon on it? And then Rowlet came along…. What if that was the second evolution?
The trademark leaks right? It wouldn’t surprise me if the copyrights for all three starters’ first stages were floating around.
This one.
Ooh, that one. I dunno. I think that’s just a fake based on the leaked trademarks of the starters. Or at least an artist’s concept.
This “leak” was around before XY. Even if it somehow happened to be real, we probably won’t find out until closer to release.
It’s that old? I don’t even remember it lmao
Yes. Only a few people remember it. I think it was on Deviantart and a forum or something. But if you Google it now it, the only thing that comes up is from right before S&M were announced plus a few recent articles.
Ahh, alright. Interesting, at least.
This could very well be rowletts second evolution. I remember when the sheets of oshawott and snivys evolutions leaked and I completely thought it was fake. This leak has been floating around for a minute and it’s just too coincidental that it’s an avian creature with leaves for wings.
I will be shocked if this ISNT rowlets evolution, but it could possibly be a rough draft of the rowlett we know today.
Also note, definetly not a ground type
Just got back from my last day of High School, going to graduate tomorrow (after the news though, so I’ll be able to see it ;D)
Going to miss all my teachers a lot (especially one of them, sorry other teachers). I would say I miss my friends, but I’ll see them over the summer 🙂
On a happier note, I’m super excited for the news tomorrow! I’d really like to get more information about the region, it’s always one of my favorite aspects of Pokemon.
Congratulations on graduating! You’re moving onto your next step in life! Two very exciting things happening for you in the same day!
Bitch I thought you were in college.
Might as well be, I took all college courses both last and this year.
Wow… smart. Are you planning on spending less than 4yrs in college, or just getting a large head start on a longer than average course?
I’m spending 4 years, no need to rush into working. Plus I’m super indecisive, so I might double-major; Since I don’t want to overwork myself, I’d spend the 4 years doing 2 majors, instead of 1 major in 2 years.
Ok, that’s cool smart guy.. hope you remain successful ?
Lol, I’m actually really lazy, so I’m probably going to drop one of them
Still salty you’re not going to my college lol
I’ll be right there in Gainesville 🙂
But I do have a lot of old friends going there, so I may visit from time to time.
I apologize for prying and you are free to not share this, just curious, are you going to a college in Florida by chance?
No, don’t worry. I’ve talked about me living in Florida before 🙂
I’m going to UF
Dang it. I was curious because I am currently going to UM, and I thought that it was possible someone else on this site was also attending the college I am at ; – (
Hey, I’ll be there tomorrow for my graduation 😛
I applied to UM and got in, but didn’t get enough money to go, and I’m broke so that didn’t work out well. I know a lot of people going there, though!
Really, in my case, UM gave me the most financial aid out of the colleges I have applied to. Than again, that could have something to do with my home state not putting a lot of money towards education. Well I hope you enjoy your graduation. There seem to be a lot of them over this summer at UM. You probably won’t see you as I am going to be busy the entire day tomorrow. Good luck on your ventures.
I’ve been tryna get him to come to UCF haha
The funny thing is that my sister is planning on applying to all three of the schools that we have mentioned.
Hopes:
– A region map
– Customization confirmation
– A few unique Pokemon (by that I mean not a regional bird, rodent, or bug)
– A true rival that is not just the opposite gender protagonist
Honest Predictions:
– The bird we saw
– The dog(?) we saw
– Legendary info
Yeah, these are basically my hopes as well. Masuda’s hyping up this reveal, so I’d assume we’re getting something at least exciting.
