The region looks small, hopefully I’m wrong.
When you combine all islands together it seems decent.
Also there is a snowy mountain for ice type lovers.
They should make the island huge then
It looks small on the map, but if you’ve ever been to Hawaii, I can tell you it’ll be a rather big region. Unless they decide to keep some things out of course.
Really liking what I’m seeing but still not quite feeling the legends (sry). The region looks so pretty and I can’t wait till the 14th 🙂
Has anyone speculated on the artificial island yet? I personally think the symbol on top of it looks like the Ranger Union logo, but I don’t know how that may be incorporated into the main series.
I think Alola has the potential to be may favorite region out of all of them! It gives me a very vacation vibe and Hoenn does that too, but seeing as Hawaii is very much a vacation destination it may fully win out on that lol
I just had an extremely clever idea (but highly unlikely)
What if our villainous organization is trying to develop a machine drain the powers from a Pokemon and transfer them into a human therefore making them extremely powerful and intimidating
And their ultimate claim is to capture Solgaleo and or Lunala and gain their powers
But like always some snot nosed ten year old foils their plan and with the help of his *urp* friends *shudder* they delete the research and yadda yadda Pokemon
What if this artificial island is somehow linked to the upcoming movie in someway…?
Maybe, but I was thinking it just might be the location for the Alola Poke league.
Yeah that also came to my mind, but a whole island for the E4? Surely Victory Road can’t be artificial?
Hopefully they don’t mean that the white place in between the two top islands counts as an island, that would be a let down
I’m betting the artificial island is the pokemon league. Or maybe it’s a tunnel down to the bottom of the ocean
O.K Well I guess I owe everyone who was saying that Alola region was more than one island, an apology. So here it is, I’m sorry I was very wrong and you were very right.
LOL I was actually starting to get really annoyed with people who were saying that it had to be more than one island, because the island looked way to tiny to be the whole region. I was thinking that I would be laughing when we found out that, the small island was all that we were getting, and I personally didn’t necessarily care about that little detail. But now that I see this I fully admit that I was wrong, and I think that this is totally awesome, and I am even more excited to play this game. XD
I actually think that the island on the left, (the one that has all the rocky formations on it) may be my fave island. (wont know until I actually play the game. 😀 ) But the reason being a really silly one. LOL When I first set my eyes on that particular island my first thought was a very derpy one of, “OMG Its pride rock, and the pride lands” Major brain farting/fan girling in action there XD. OMG I sometimes worry about my thought process’. ^^;
Turns out Solgaleo and Lunala are genderless
Thats cause the Sun and Moon are. Screw gender stereotypes for a star and orbiting piece of rock
Thank you!
Most legendaries are. I’ll still think of them as male and female, because male lions have manes and Lunala looks feminine. The names end in -o and -a, masculine and feminine spellings respectively, and then there’s Apollo and Artemis. Yin and Yang symbolism etc.
Heh, that reminds me of when I watch the Diancie movie: I was surprised that Xerneas spoke with a female voice. I always thought of Xerneas as a male because of the antlers.
Literally sneaked my phone into class to see this, it was the last day anyways tho
Kind of a fun theory this guy pointed out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-Op8xXAMnk&feature=share
Never the urge to inflict violence onto another human being has ever been greater at this moment in time
Seems more like this guy is specifically looking for Ho-oH and Lugia rather than them actually being there….which really isn’t GF’s style. Why would Lugia and Ho-oh be featured in this game anyway
Because people assume just because Ho-Oh is the guardians of Sky and Sea they think ” Oh it’s a Phoenix and its rainbow wings could mean sunlight, and because Lugia lives in the sea that means the moon because of tides”
It’s this kinda crap that just really pisses me off
But that theory is stupid…this is a new region…the old legendaries aren’t going to affect the story.
Tell that to the legions of stupid people who believe this crap *COUGH TYRANITAR TUBE*
Yeah I try not to really watch pokemon theory videos and stuff.
LOL TyranitarTube is such a boring ass cunt. Like how he basically took all the credit for finding the hidden typings on the Japanese website
this is so extra i hooted
Okay, I like the fact that Solgaleo’s types is Steel/Psychic and Lunaala’s types are Ghost/Psychic. One isn’t more powerful than the other and it’s different (at least different than what was expected). Lillie is creepy… If there are only hear islands shown I like that there isn’t too much surfing to do and there will be more than one gym on each island (at least one island). I think that Kukui is new to the Professoring world and the older dude is his dad. I wonder if the rivals name will be changeable? I know in X and Y we were stuck with those names but I always like picking a name that is a real rival to me. Anyways… I’m happy and we got more than I thought we we’re getting. Now we just have to wait for Nov. 18 to roll around.
Well Isn’t Solgaleo weak to lunala? Steel’s ghost resistance was taken away.
Oh was it? I thought it was a pretty even playing field
Yeah, they took away steels resistance to ghost and dark in gen 6
Oh. Well I still like Solgaleo more than Lunaala. It should have been Steel/Dark to combat it. And it’s also ironic cause sub and light aren’t associated with dark. But I’m pleasantly surprised with the reveal and I’m excited about the game. What starter are you picking and what version are you getting?
I’m getting both. Cosimo will be my Sun character and have Litten and Aurora will be my Moon character and have Popplio
I’m getting both version cause I always do but I’m gonna start with moon so that’ll be my base game. I think I’ll choose Rowlet as my first starter for Moon unless it turns out lame. Then I’ll go with Litten for Sun
Yeah. I’m actually torn between Popplio and Rowlet. I’ll see what they turn out like. I just think Popplio is cute and I always go for the fire and water starter. But maybe it’s time for a change.
But your picture is a Litten >.<
Cause Litten is my main one. Im for sure picking Litten for my Sun character. I meant I’m not sure about Popplio or Rowlet for my Moon character. Litten is the best.
Ohhh okay. I’d say wait to see if you like Rowlet or the regional bird better and then maybe choose based on that.
Fans on YouTube speculated that the reason solgaleo is steel type has to do with nuclear fusion and steel blah blah blah science blah. I just can’t get over how it devours solar energy and is called the suun Pokemon, but it weak to fire https://media1.giphy.com/media/Im7sByrQSYIU0/200w_d.gif
AnyTways I hope the character customization is more in depth this generation, like allowing you to change your hair style and color later on, color contacts and change facial features maybe? Cause Idk about y’all but I have yet to meet a black girl with itty bitty nose and fish lips with BONE straight black hair that bounces unless it Remy. No bitch, we rocking Jackson five nostrils with baby hair Afros. But I wouldn’t expect a Japanese company to put that in there games anyways ??? get it together Nintendo.
I really like the concept of the rotom dex. It spices things up and brings back an old pokemon that hasn’t seen attention since Platinum. I just hope it does the same things that the dex in ORAS could do. It’s overworld view looks pretty cool though.
But rotom is still relevant, room wash is OU and one of the most popular pokes in competitve
Ughhhh why did they have to give it typings, it would be such less of a pain to deal with without the unnecessary bulk
Yeah but I mean non-competitive wise.
Am I the only person who likes the female trainer’s hat? Everyone sees a chicken hat and lel Spongebob/Wallace & Gromit reference, but I see a sea anemone, which fits with the tropical hawaii theme, and I love it!
It’s nice a female character finally gets something as distinct as that to pair with Brendan’s weird but also awesome hat. It’s a bit annoying the tradeoff for customisation is the base protagonist losing any semblance of aesthetic personnality. They even seem to have foregone names this time around. I don’t see why one should come at the expense of the other, but this is typical gamefreak thinking :/ .
I’m also kinda dissapointed they went with the lightest skin tone again for the base art, a little variety would be nice, and Hawaii is a fitting region to start that with. Yeah I know your character is moving in so that’s less relevant, but it doesn’t remove the fact they went for the old boring choice.
I’m also kinda dissapointed they went with the lightest skin tone again for the base art, a little variety would be nice” hmmm I wonder why ????? I also hate that they can make the base character a different skin color and change there skin color and all of the sudden there Differnt race lol no. I don’t know any black girls that look like the ” black” base character
I don’t know any Japanese people that look like the “Asian” base character, or any white people with eyes that big. It’s Pokemon, not Skyrim.
Actually on the official art it looks way more like a typical luau flower than an anemone, that’s probably a better design explanation haha
I’m very happy with the amount of info we got and if anything no new pokemon reveals is great as far as I’m concerned. My biggest fear is that they conserve the insultingly stupid promotional ethos used for XY and ORAS, where we respectively got over 70% of the pokedex and every single mega revealed before release, sapping an unfair amount of joy out of discovering the games when they finally came out.
And for all you people dissapointed about no new pokémon, with E3 around the corner seems to me you’ll only need to wait a few weeks before a mini-blowout 🙂 .
Last time for XY we got standard things like Vivillon and out of nowhere cooler later dex mons like Noivern. We also got Skrelp, Clauncher and Talonflame.
Just hoping they act wisely they keep the reveals until launch moderate.
Earthen need new info now!
Hahaha maybe you should calm down for the sake of your own sanity, we literally got info TODAY. I can completely get the hype, but IMO I’d rather we got this sort of thing once a month and no more.
What sanity
Oh my bad you basically said the same thing I said above lol. I wouldn’t mind if they just do small news releases every 2 weeks…better than something big every month, imo.
Yeah that would be just as good, as long as it stayed small
At least they’re moving away from corocoro. I always hated never knowing when it’d drop
I’m kind of sad about that actually, I loved the anticipation, the format of the corocoro reveal, and the second salva of translated news a few days later.
That was nice, but it kinda sucked when we hyped it and they didn’t give us much. At least when nintendo announces it we know we’re getting something
I think that’s sensible. I didn’t get into Pokemon until just about the time ORAS was announced, so I was both spoiled and unspoiled in XY: I could look up a walkthrough, but though I knew the names of the Pokemon on a route, I didn’t know what most of them looked like till they appeared. (I was mainly focused on catching them all.)
Well pokemon SM is confirmed to be at E3 in 2 weeks so any chance they’ll reveal a new poke or two there?
I’m hoping that someone debunks the site again and finds something
Because I’m getting really antsy about the severe lack of new Pokemon
I know it’s been basically 3 weeks but still they kept us out of the dark since February
Yeah they didn’t actually reveal too much today, it would’ve been nice if they gave us a few
Not even background Pokemon
They could’ve at least shown that dog thing. They know we know about it lol
Siiiiiigh but I should be thankful
Lunala isn’t a Fairy that’s all that truly mattered
Yeah that’s good, too bad it’s the same type as Hoopa though. Was honestly hoping for Fire/Light and Dark/Light even though I know no one else here wanted that
Art I did of the starters a while back!
I wish every time you played the game, it was randomized. So every time the Pokemon in the routes would be different from the time before. You’d never know which Pokemon you would encounter on your journey. Now of course Fire Pokemon would be in a volcano and Ice Pokemon would be in the snow, but other than that it’s completely randomized. It would make the game more diverse and maybe even harder. Sadly this will never happen in the near future, but it’s nice to dream big 🙂
I would love that as a Master Quest/Hero Mode style thing
I like this idea but it will be a pain when you’re looking for a specific Pokemon.
Maybe as an option then 🙂
As an option that would be dope.
Personally, I would hate this feature. That is what the Mystery Dungeon games are for. It would become tedious to hunt for Pokemon or remember layouts. It would irk me to no end.
That’s why it would be awesome as an option 🙂
Agreed, I like the idea, but not that it is forced on you. Like maybe you can switch it on or off with settings, idk.
I would like to know why the bracelet is too diferent from XY’s
The Alola region looks simply DIVINE! The aesthetics, the artistic leaps, the architectural beauty, the vast array of environments, the character designs, the overall atmosphere, and the stunning islands are AMAZING! I cannot wait to venture into a world full of new Pokemon, old Pokemon, new characters, old characters, and see the amalgamation of 20 years of what is possibly one of the greatest game franchises of all time! Beautiful and the trailers truly brought out a sentimental side of me that made me realize why I love Pokemon! 😀
Well the hype is dying down
Thank you for sharing
Just keepin’ it real dawg
I really hope that with the new Rotom Pokedex it means that they’ll possibly start adding new forms/evolutions for older Pokemon. I’ve said it before, but I like the idea of cross gen evos. It allows me the chance to use both old and new Pokemon technically. It scratches both itches so to speak lol
I am now purely hyped for Pokemon Sun and Moon. We already knew the Alola Region will be an amalgamation of islands, so those details weren’t new. I’m believe Solgaleo will an extremely overpowered legendary. Full Metal Body would cause moves like Overheat to never lower it’s stats; just image it with Calm Mind! Lunala kinda got the short end of the stick, yet I’m still picking Moon Version.
Anyways, the new characters seem interesting. I’m assuming Lillie will pick the starter that’s stronger than yours and she would grow to become a strong trainer, while Hau will pick the weaker starter based on previous information. Additionally, I’m wondering what the “band” around the trainer’s arm is. I think it’s just a new way to do Mega Evolution and it retaliates to the legendaries in some capacity.
I love the new battle UI. The colours and splashes of paint look nice. I just wish the opponent’s side was orange to push the colours of both games. Also, I honestly hope all trainers get introductions and different skin tones similar to Hau’s. That would add a lot of personality. Lastly, the Rotom Pokedex was something I was not expecting. It’s going to inhabit the bottom screen of the 3DS and I’m guessing it will control Amie and PSS. I hope Rotom has a lot of character to it!
IGN will have a field day with this game now hahah
