  1. I’ve been waiting for a professor that specializes in Pokemon moves for a while now and I like how Kukui is willing to take an attack if it means learning something from it. The four main islands of Alola look great and the artificial island in the center of the region looks interesting. Overall I’m really satisfied with today’s news.

  2. You know what there is a boxed up walled city at the back of the southeast island and the Magearna takes place in a walled city right? so maybe thats where it appears also the big blue building on the mountain right next to it could be the pokemon league maybe? I’m just tossing around ideas 😛

  3. Not sure if people said anything about this, but the aquarium in the first video has a luvdisc. So now we have luvdisc and meowth in this region!

  4. The islands look amazing!
    I assume the left one is where the league and Legendary plot will happen.
    The 2nd left one which was first introduced to us will probably be the first one we meet.
    The 3rd has amazing pool systeme, water gym happening.
    Love the Volcan as well seems powerful.

  5. Is it just me or does the island to the far west with the humongous triangular rock next to the colossus tree look like Pride Rock from Lion King to anyone?

  6. I love how lunala gets a full rotation of its body yet songaleo doesnt it’s like they trying to convince people to like it .must say I do like the typing for it

  7. According to serebii Solgaleo: With the Full Metal Body Ability, a Pokémon’s stats will not be lowered by the effects of an opponent’s moves or Ability.
    and Lunala: with the ability Shadow Shield. With the Shadow Shield Ability, a Pokémon will take less damage from an attack that lands when the Pokémon has full HP.
    these r the same effect of Multiscale and Clear Body just y they would revel the same ability with different name …..it’s not first time though Reshiram and Zekrom have ability with dame effect of Mold breaker.

    • I think their abilities have additional effects. Like maybe Solgaleo can absorb fire moves to boost his own attack/special attack and the same for Lunala with Dark moves.

  8. So the colour behind the hp/lvl bar is the same for everyone. It’s just light blue. Maybe we can change it in options?

  9. I hope this game is more on the heavy side of new Pokemon. Kukui said in the trailer that the region was full of rare Pokemon, so that could be a good sign. Also what is MeleMele?

    • Wow! If you zoom up on it, you can see a yellow gem like in the Japanese logos!
      What does this mean for Mega Evolution?

  10. I dunno if anyone brought this up, but I was watching the trailer again, and after the show the Alola map, with the characters walking around and stuff, you can see the tall grass. Looks nice, in my opinion.

  11. It would be so amazing if we could travel back to the Kalos region and face new gym leaders with an extended post xy meta game for Zygarde complete form!!!

      • I was thinking more along the line of something like soul silver and heart gold where you can explore two regions instead of just one, but with the Alola region and Kalos Region

        • It makes sense, since XY were spiritual successors to Red and Blue, Sun and Moon would be the spiritual successors to GS.

        • Because Kanto and Johto are literally connected with one another. Judging by Alola’s map, its not even remotely close to Kalos.

          Reply
          • Or simply boats. We still have the couriway train station, so maybe Kalos travel will be a available in a different game.

          • I felt like it was to quick of a game but I love the pokemon in Kalos, they were lacking in quantity but they’re quality of chose were surprisingly perfect imo

          • The Pokemon for the most part were amazing, and the region was beautiful, but because of the low difficulty level and the shortness of the game, I tend to overlook things about the game.

          • I hope they change to champion of we get to region hop to Kalos as a plot twist type of thing. I also want a Red-like superboss.

          • yeah, although I embrace new ideas and new pokemon unlike the Gen Oners, I really miss those difficult opponents :'(

          • Pokemon these days is more geared toward children, so it is easier. They could fix this with a difficulty slider though.

          • It could be Alola is located south of Kalos (because judging by Kiloude City, South Kalos has a more tropical vibe) so perhaps we will be able to travel to Kalos after beating the Alola league.

          • That would make sense as well. Plus, the SUNdial in anistar city has some story that went untouched, so yet another loose end.

    • Zed is dead. Bring Zygarde 100% in alola just to jam as much stuff in this game as possible. THAT can be the post game

    • They always give the rivals different gym badges then Ash to show that there are more than 8 gym leaders and that the path Ash takes isn’t the only path.
