Alola looks way bigger than Kalos! I am extremely pleased with this morning’s presentation. They didn’t reveal too much, but just enough. Unlike ORAS *cough* But I feel we’ll get a lot of information on June 15th. The few concerns I have is the Rotom Pokedex that guides you around on the bottom screen to your next task and acts like a Town Map. It sounds like it’s GF doing the hand holding treatment again. Also, the male protagonist had the yellow crystal from Moon’s Japanese logo inside it, so I am a little bit concerned about that…
To ORAS’ credit, we knew what was going to be in the game anyways. 🙂
And I think it will act how in other Nintendo games (I’m thinking of Zelda) you just ask them or tap a button and they’ll guide you, not automatically. Heck, maybe you can turn that aspect off.
However, I agree with you on the crystal thing. I don’t like what that might be implieing
I’m most impressed we get to have 7 Pokemon with us. .. though I’m sure we can’t use rotom
This must be why the professor was so interested in Room in the anime.. they think of everything..
Also, it would seem Pokemon translation is a go.
And if that girl from the first trailer turned out to be a thing.. maybe the guy who looks like red means something too..
Like I said the other day
Omg! I didn’t realize that. Lillie was first shown in the announcement trailer!!!
Plot twist: The diamond thing is just a win-all Mega Evolution enabler. No Stone necessary.
Everyone: You wish!
What I really think: It could be a redesign to the keystone, but activates in a different manner. Maybe you can only use ME at full happiness with qualified Pokemon and no need for stones, which makes sense, but again unlikely.
One can dream.
*speakingofdreamingcoughcoughmegamiloticcough*One can hope. 🙂
Hmm.. sounds like a bit of a downgrade to me. You would have to wait to get each Pokemon to like you just to mega evolve it.
I think the diamond thing is for Burst evolution.. or whatever Ash and Greninja do.. it’s something Big.. and New.. like the mega stones were in previous titles
I’m going over the moon here, but what if it’s Mega Evolution with no mega stone? Enabled by something else?
Can you imagine the power of any of the megas if they had a hold item slot available.
Just look at Rayquaza. Same BST as both Mega Mewteos but so much more powerful because of that item slot.
Oh.. that would be Op.. hope not.. lol. My evioliters wouldn’t stand a chance ?
I commented on your last comment.. I feel that would be a downgrade… players don’t want to wait for a mechanic all they need is a stone and evolve. Plus I don’t feel they will dedicate the new mechanic to something not new
If Burst Evolution is its own concept, which it very well may be, I don’t think we’ll fuse with the Pokemon, but they become stronger with the bond of the trainer, i.e. frienship.
I’d say it’s Mega Evolution done right, but that’s me. I’m still unclear how BE works, no matter how much I look into it.
Ew no.. I hope they don’t fuse.. lol. Yeah.. bonds.. like Ash Greninja
If you think about it, GF wouldn’t want to keep making each individual Mega Stone for future Pokemon, it adds up. They need to come up with a way that eliminates the stones.
They could just used keystones, but they already established that it tunes to the Pokemon’s mega stone to work.
No.. the stone is such a small piece of information.. it’s like adding a new pokeball or potion.. the real work comes with actual evolution
im still hollering about how we completely ignored solgaleo typing because we were 100% sure that is going to be fire and it ended up being psychic/steel ( which makes sense because his body is based on astronauts/spaceships and lunala is just the moon)
Yeah, I’m sure 99% of us thought it would be part Fire because of the SUN, amirite?
Well like I said we assumed it has dominance over the sun
But it never stated it clearly
I’m just relieved that Lunala isn’t a Fairy
Ya, I hear ya. I like the Fairy-type, but Lunala ain’t no Fairy.
These games look beautiful looks like it will have a mix between old and new pokemon and thr regions also look very pretty( RIP BF island). I like these rivals (at least i hope lille battles) and the legends look nice with their attacks. Rotom pokedex is very neat hopefully its in thr anime. I cant wait for more info. Hopefully 100+ pokemon
Did somebody notice the new bracelet?
Nobody noticed
Yes and going off the deep end wildly speculating Synchro Evolution and basing it on absolutely nothing
Synchro Evolution? …..did u mean like Ash’s Greninja ?
It’s bases on Ash Greninja.. that’s Absolutely Something. .. but we’re just speculating as you said
And I keep saying YOU ALL FORGET THAT THIS IS A SPECIAL GRENINJA THING IDIOTS
Ash-Greninja
Plus, Ash’s Greninja takes on a mysterious new appearance in the latest season! Ash-Greninja is the form that Greninja takes when the bond between it and Ash is raised to the limit. The strength of their bond changes Greninja’s appearance, and it takes on the characteristic look of Ash’s attire. This phenomenon is also said to have happened just once several hundred years ago in the Kalos region, but it remains shrouded in mystery.
http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/see-new-zygarde-formes-in-animation-news-from-japan/
We know that y did u mean by Synchro Evolution then?….y did call it like that in first place?
Google the word synchronize. That’s just a name fans have given the name for the bond transformation between ash and greninja.. nothing else
Nothing about that post says it’s Just Ash and Greninja.. in fact..it even says it’s happens before. .. .
I’m going to quote you to death when you’re proven wrong lol. I’m waiting
It happened to the OTHER Ninja Hero’s Greninja
It’s so damn obvious that Ash’s Greninja is either a descendant of that Hero Greninja or it’s the Reincarnation
And it’s a marketing scheme to give ash a Pseudo-Mega to complete the Mega Triangle with Alain’s Charizard and Sawyer’s Mega Sceptile ergo Grass Fire and Water Megas
I think Armageddon just said all I was gonna say in response to this.
Plus.. you countered speculation with even more abstract speculation..
Like Mewtwo Y in the Genesect movie, that was before megas were announced, so explain that?
Movie
Yes, and we saw Mewtwo Y before they announced megas. Introducing future game mechanics in the anime isn’t exactly a new thing, they have done it before.
I still believe it was just movie magic that allowed them to do it without officially doing it
But wildly speculating something as asinine as Synchro in a main game all because of a damn watch bracelet is really jumping to conclusions
While I do agree Synchro should remain anime-exclusive, It wouldn’t surprise me if they do incorporate it in the games somehow (like maybe through Pokemon Amie or something, and make it exclusive to starters)
Oh, and Obviously Ash Greninja is specific to Ash.. they may give it out at an event.. but Our Pokemon would look more like us or how we want it..
What you don’t understand is that the anime is first and foremost a marketing tool for the games.
Answer this, why the hell would they market Ash-Greninja So much if it’s not going to Be a mechanic in the game.
Synchro-Evolution may not work EXACTLY like it does in the anime.
Remember when the Genesect Movie was announced with Mega Mewtwo Y but no one called it a mega and Mewtwo transformed into it without a stone? A similar thing is happening here, they aren’t going to fully reveal synchro in the anime obviously, but Ash-Greninja is only there to advertise Synchro in the games.
Plus with the yellow gem in the bracelet instead of a keystone, it’s the only logical explanation
Obvi..
Feh I put it the opposite
I believe that the only true canon is the Games
I’m still infinitely against Syncho Evolution in and main game and I’m not going to wild speculating based on a single image
Dude you gotta relax damn every comment of yours contains shouting, calling names and/or acting annoyed.
I have Absolutely 0 Hope for this..
But someone below said what If the league is on the center artificial island..
Could you imagine the League like in the Anime was there.. with people around you as you battle.. it could look like the scene in which you battle AZ in XY
Then you go to the Elite 4 only if you win
Wait, are we going to overlook the fact that Solgaleo and Lunala lets loose their cry as part of a signature attack animation?! 😀
That alone just screams, “you’re dead, brah.”
I’m a little disappointed that no new pokemon were shown. I wanted to see the little woodpecker/humming bird pokemon
Thought I would be too.. but they gave us so much.. I forgot they didn’t. You just reminded me… -,-
Lol
pokedex rotom WILL become a pokemon. #factsonly
If it’s a humming bird then its name is humminbirb
maybe it will be a music themed pokemon like charlot
Charlar + parrot = chatot
meh close enough
Or… Humminus. Ok, no that name sucks.
We also get news in two weeks, so let’s hope to see new pokemon at E3!
E3 is just Zelda.
Actually it is confirmed that we have Pokemon Sun and Moon news in E3. Go on Serebii. Also Pokemon GO will be showcased.
Must’ve just been revealed. Makes sense. Nintendo finally pulled their heads out of their asses. Only Zelda especially when you have Pokemon would be stupid as hell. (Pokejungle shouuld post this.) Also eff Pokemon GO.
Love this sho it looks so awesome and beautiful.
So open… and free. Makes me want to run in circles again.
Lets all run in circle in this area XD
What if this is the circular bike path for hatching… heh heh heh.
Good idea!!!! Thumbs up
I’d be willing to bet that this is that area inside the volcano crater on the home island.
*remembers the scene with the rock trolls in frozen*
Let it go.
I thought it looked familiar…
:O everyone ruuuuuuuuuuun XD
Team speculation: What do you think is/are the new team name/s and what may be their objective?
Maybe in Moon they’ll pull a Majora’s Mask on us.team solo and team luna?
It could be a basic Team Solar/Lunar thing. Or it could be one team. or three. Oh my.
I think it’s one team this time and their name may be Team Celestial or Team Astral or something.
And maybe depending on the game version, they are trying to awaken the third legendary by using the game’s exclusive legendary to bring about the solar/lunar eclipse.
Will this be the first time an evil team’s primary goal is to capture a third wheel legendary?
or team lux or nox
So one will be pulling the world towards the sun as the evil plot, and the other game’s plot will be pulling the moon towards the world… sounds good!
I feel like Megas will definitely still need the stone.. as so they can’t double on items..
But.. how will we mega and burst at the same time (if burst is real) I’m sure mega ain’t going no where.. so maybe it has double functions.. or we will wear two brackets by the end. A little girly though
I just hope it’s not a mega mega evolution thing.
Yes, something about this stone makes me confused. But I’m sure once it is revealed we’ll all be shocked and happy and still confused and excited XD
So now I’m still wondering who the old ma is that actually gives you your starter. Seeing as Kukui is the prof I imagine the old man is like his father/Grandfather. He’s probably another researcher in general.
Maybe he is Kukui’s father?
He can be my daddy
#sorrynotsorry
My bet is the old man gives the job to kukui the day you pick up your pokemon and the whole time he is really inexperienced and is constantly forgetting to tell you things
I asked myself the same thing (about 500 comments ago 😉 ) I presume he is either the Champion or the towns GL . But who knows he could be a plot related character.
I know everyone wants a mean rival, but something about Hau just makes him SOOOO likeable. He seems like your best friend and I actually am excited to have him as a travel buddy/ battle partner. Hopefully though, Lillie is a little more interesting as a rival.
It’s kind of a weird coincidence that both mona (The new disney film) and pokemon is coming out in November. I bet Hawaii and other tropical islands are going to be really popular this year
AHHHH THIS REGION LOOKS LIKE ITS GONNA BE SO EPIC AND DETAILED AND I ALREADY THINK THIS IS MY FAVORITE REGION!!!!
In Hau’s trailer you can hear a pokemon at :04 its really quick but you can definitely hear something.
Also i hope SM has really good music
Who’s ready for FUSION?! 😀
Can that PLEASE not come. I beg of everything. Can those just be new forms of mega stones ;(. Please Masuda no fusions. Megas are enough
Look at the stones on PC’s wristband, now look at these https://desustorage.org/trash/thread/2727350/#2727996
Masuda why
I still don’t think it’s gonna happen. This Burst thing was not successful in the least bit. It just wouldn’t be a smart move at all for them to try and include it in the new games.
The theory right now is that it’s a new way of using Mega Evolution and storing Mega’s, instead of holding a trillion Mega stones.
Even if they arent exactly fusions if my pokemon gains ability to look like me then nope never. And if its just megas with a new name thats even MORE lame
But also hearing these might be like a third type of evolving
Megas- Evolving with stones at any tine you please
Primal- evolving with stones as soon as you come out
Mega Ray- evolving stoneless any time
So these are Burst evolution- Evolving stoneless as soon as you come out.
I think its just over complicated!
HELL NO
WAAAAAY TOO WEABOO
I’m trying to find where each of the gyms are on the map. Even if the actual buildings aren’t there I’m interested to know what kinds of location they’ll be in.
http://38.media.tumblr.com/32e0e64d8545500059d4c4d09d8f70e5/tumblr_nhkuuhTRdO1r8jjn6o1_500.gif. @ the legendaries typing. How is a Pokemon based on the SUN and has solar in it’s name not a fire type? And I was hoping the moon legend was fairy. DEATH at there abilities basically being renamed versions of clear body and multiscale. Competitively speaking I don’t think either will be top tier in ubers especially with knock off running rampant. DEATH at them including that pokedex feature like it’s that important. Overall this info was very underwhelming, but it’s still pretty interesting.
I do agree with legends not be Ubers they probably are gonna be OU
Unless their movepools are abosulte garbage like kyruem black I don’t see it. I think the moon legend will be better than the sun legend because of it’s knockoff multiscale and psychic, ghost is a great offensive typing. It does look extremely frail
“Moon legebd better than sun because of knockoff” think you got it switched. Plus those types are kinda meh maybe their signature moves are very strong
I ment it’s ability which is a knock off multiscake
Ooooh lol
They’re both awesome abilities, but yeah, they are ultimately knock off’s of Clear Body and Multiscale.
Unless, there’s more to them than we know right now. I’d be really surprised if they gave us these new, rather cool named Abilities for Legendaries and have them do the same as a couple other, basic abilities.
Lol.. I love her
You do realize they never said they are based on the Sun and Moon right?
Kiiiii. I mean the games are named after the sun and the moon and the box legends look like the sun and the moon and the box legends have solar and Luna in there names which are other ways to describe the sun and the moon. If it looks like a duck, acts like s duck it’s a duck
No, if it looks like a duck, acts like a duck, then it must be A WITCH!!
only if it weighs the same as the duck
Assume
Just because it’s the Sun version Legendary doesn’t mean it represents the Sun. For all I can guess, Solgaleo is an astronaut looking for the sun, but it’ll burn him just like Icarus learned the hard way.
The sun does not actually contain fire though, there’s not enough oxygen for that. So, despite it being surprising Solgaleo isn’t a Fire type, it does make sense when you think about it.
Hahaha, I’m not huge on the Lion’s typing either. The way it’s described though, it makes some sense as to why it’s this typing and not a straight up Fire type.
“Since ancient times, Solgaleo has been honored as an emissary of the sun. It is referred to with reverence as “the beast that devours the sun.” Solgaleo’s body holds a vast amount of energy, and it shines with light when it’s active. It has a flowing mane with a remarkable resemblance to the sun”
It has more to do with it’s resemblance and it being the “messenger” to the Sun and it’s ability to hold a shit ton of energy from “devouring it” than it actually representing the Sun.
I’m pretty damn excited though. I loved all the info we got, and it’s more than I was expecting to get.
Exactly this is solid lore
But isn’t that just pokedex entry?
Xerneas and uveltal could kill and being life to anything. But just reduced to being a lame legendary catch
I’m not sure what you’re getting at. A lot of the time, their power is either reduced in-game or is just straight up in-game legend and not complete truth. A lot of our lore and legends in our world isn’t usually true, but just an exaggeration of the truth.
Ooh you talking lore my bad
I’m curious about these dark spots. One looks like a distant city tbh
What dark spots?
Is it north or south of the islands? If its north, it could be Kiloude City (still thinking Alola is south of Kalos)
Im curious why every region seems to be attacked by clouds. This one has like a barrier of clouds lol
We’re visiting Skyloft post-league
Clouds seem to be hiding an island BF Maybe!?!?!?!?!!?
Just kidding BF is dead RIP The 7 Gods of Hoenn
The weather changes. It’s probably to cover up blank space but ORAS had stuff hidden
The clouds are so Game Freak never needs to assemble the Poke-world or imply any region is next to whatever region unless they want to, like Johto and Kanto.
I get so sad when I think about this. I really really really want to see where all the regions are in comparison to each other. Guess we’ll never know until the end of the franchise haha.
Well you have had to raise your eyebrow when Lysandre activated the ancient weapon in X&Y and all the areas around Kalos have thick clouds HAHAHA.
I suppose this is so they can be flexible with making new regions and don’t have geologists or cartographers calling them out. <3
On Serebii, it’s mentioned that the Pokedex has two versions. One named after the region itself, and one called something else (that isn’t called National lol) So maybe it’s a collective name for our region and some more surrounding islands?
I’m more interested in what’s under the first circle.. looks like an island.. guessing it’s just not part of alola
I wonder what the city/town with the giant wall’s story is. It’s on the lower right hand island. It looks like some Attack on Titan shit to me. Which would be amazing lol
Colosal titan legendary pokeman confurmed lel
Hey everyone hope you’s are all well I’ve been here but haven’t comment in a week or so !
Can I say I actually LOVE this Region ! Its gorgeous ?
Also I’m so glad that Pokémon will be shown at e3 not just Zelda now !! Thank God 😀
Solgaleo looks deadly now :O I love it haha 🙂
Hey idk if someone already pointed this out buuut 90 degrees curving beaches are no more! Thank you gf this make the game 300% more amazing for me
I also think I see a black sand beach 🙂
