  1. I thought of something else I liked about Pokemon Y. There was alot of diversity in pokemon in certain spots. I hope sun and moon can do that. we have 720+ pokemon, dont just show 20 of them with a few others sprinkled in

  2. Just thought I’d share this with you all here:

    I was part of an exercising group earlier, and when it came to the relaxation part (where you focus on something or somewhere that makes you happy), I visioned myself in the world of the Alola region, encountering all the new Pokemon we have seen so far! I walked through the tropical woods with Rowlet flying from tree to tree, running along the beach and playing with Litten and Iwanko, swimming and surfing with Popplio, checking out and learning about the legendaries Solgaleo and Lunala, and at the end of my visioning I returned to the tropical woods and took a relaxing nap on a hammock with Nekkoala, in order to be ready to set off to other places to witness more new Pokemon on the way! I cannot wait to see more from E3 🙂 <3

  3. I haven’t done my predictions yet, so here I go.

    – I think we will start off with a trailer, not just gameplay
    – 2-5 new Pokemon
    – One of these Pokemon will be fully evolved, while the rest will be first stage Pokemon or Pokemon with no evolution
    – The trailer will showcase new music
    – Some new feature in the game that no one saw coming
    – No new Megas yet
    – Possibly the evil team (this one is pushing it though)

    • I hope they either debunk or introduce the Synchro-Evolution or whatever new method of evolution they have up their sleeves. Then at least we won’t be biting our nails and trying to kill people who reiterate the theory until November.

      Reply
        • I’m all for no Synchro, but I reserve my final judgement until I actually know everything about the evolution method. Although it is quite unnerving because this may point towards a new direction for Pokemon where they introduce a new type of evolution every generation to keep it “fresh.” HOWEVER, if the lore and background behind Synchro is innovative and entertaining I don’t see the problem.

          • R E Tarded concept
            Everyone but me is too stoopid to realize it is virtually the same thing as Mega Evolution, utilizing strong bonds to achieve a greater form and strength but you all are blind and fooled by the tantalizing glam that is the word synchro to realize that it’s just literally the same thing p

            Also how would they make our Pokemon look like us if we’re having customization,

          • It really depends on how it is executed. If it fills a different niche, like being weaker and easyer to activate( i.e. multiple sychros being able to be activated per round) or being stronger but lasting only a few turns it would be good and justified. If it is basically Mega evolution with a different name then it’s stupid.

          • That’s a fair point, it does match the description very well, but even if included, it would be hard to keep up with in gens to come for the rest of Pokemon’s existence, remember, forms of pokemon or special evos excluding very specific ones cross gens in some way, so even if they pull it up now, it would be for the life of the series, unless the idea of mega evos was only gen VI exclusive, which i doubt, it’s too far to spread out for every gen afterwards, otherwise, it cannot happen forever.

          • Everyone realizes that it is pointless..

            But THERE IS EVIDENCE in favour of it.

            Can you explain the Bracelet In the official Artwork?

            Can you explain why they would Advertise ash-greninja so heavily of it wasn’t in the games?

          • Like I’ve said many times.

            Anime is a marketing tool for the games.

            Remember how Mega Mewtwo Y was revealed and no one knew what it was, but it later got revelealed as a mega alongside other megas?
            Ash-Greninja is the same, there is no other reason as to why they would market it so heavily.

            The Gems in the logo are the same as the one in the Bracelet, just like how the DNA symbol in the logos of XY was related to Mega evolution.

            I personally don’t want synchro to be a thing at all because with Mega evolution, it’ll be redundant. Plus if we have synchro, it probably means no more megas. But synchro is looking more and more likely

        • What if there is, but only 1/700+ pokemon can do it with you? I don’t mean Ash-greninja crap. Just a similar concept, without the whole pokemon looking like the trainer.

          Reply
    • Agreed largely. Yet, they said live gameplay, so I’m expecting the Treehouse people to be playing the game. So, we might encounter more Pokemon than you listed. Anyways, nice predictions, but I want to see some Megas!

      Reply
    • My predictions gameplay of very early game and same info from corocoro and maybe the june 2nd stuff and maybe 1 piece of new stuff maybe the bird finally. But that is about it.

      Reply
    • For tommorow, I think we’re going to see some new areas, and the new Pokemon in action. That’s it. Any thing else would probably be saved for the “Pokemon Special”

      Reply
  4. I’m immensely ecstatic about the supposed alchemy theme going around in regards to Sun/Moon! Honestly, the lore of Pokemon hasn’t been this integrated and explored since Black and White 6 years ago.

    Reply
    • Yeah, I’m hoping for a tone and attention to detail more similar to Black and White. It looks like there is a lot of thought going into these new games and I hope there is more where it’s coming from 🙂

      Reply
  5. alright guys who’s ready to ride the hype train because we’re about to see some cool information from Pokemon sun and moon and the land of Nintendo!:D

    Reply
  6. I’d be cool with Synchro evolution as long as it doesn’t include trainer-to-Pokemon fusions. I’d assume it’d be a less powerful version of a Mega evolution (maybe 50-70 BST increase) but still allows the use of held items.

    Reply
    • You do realize the whole damn point on this bloody thing is to have Trainers fuse with Pokemon which is stupid for a manseries game

      Reply
      • You do realize you’re basing your argument off of assumptions? As far as I’m aware, there isn’t a “stone” or anything like what’s in the logo of Sun and Moon that Ash uses with Greninja in the anime. So with that alone, I think we can debunk the “Ash-Greninja” type of evolutions/fusions in Sun and Moon. And Pokemon Reburst was a complete flop, there’s no way that will be pushed into the main series.

        Reply
        • I don’t think we can debunk Ash-Greninja type thing just based on that.
          In the Genesect Movie which was released way before Mega evolutions were a thing, Mewtwo transformed without a Stone OR a trainer. Not even the animation was similar to Mega evolution.

          Reply
          • I understand your argument but I don’t think that’s a good enough example to justify it. It’s just Pokemon favoritism, apparently rules never apply to Mewtwo, Charizard and Greninja.

            “Mewtwo can do whatever the fuck it wants, it’s fucking Mewtwo” – actual translated quote from the movie director.

          • Well I do have a few theories
            Since Mewtwo is an artificial Pokemon, the ability must come from Mew itself, but for gameplay sense it still has a Mega Stone or the very possible that scientists made an artificial mega stone
            But getting off topic, Mewtwo might be able to use its mutant DNA to manually achieve Mega Evolution (And to be fair how would Mewtwo know that we call this Process Mega Evolution it probably thought it was an awakened form)

          • My idea was Mew would only have a special Attack to mega evolve
            Genetic Pulse
            And with Mega Mew it has the ability Universal Evolution where it changes type randomly at the end of the turn and it changes the type of Genetic Pulse

        • One: Ash does not use any kind of stone or object for the Ash-Greninja form, it’s purely bond and the highly possibility of Ash’s Greninja being a descendent of the Ninja Hero’s Greninja
          Two: those gems could literally be anything it could be Comet Fragments for Solgaleo and Lunalaa (Remember how the Red and Blue Orbs were in the Logo)
          And Three: Reburst WAS a flop and will never grace the world as a main series mechanic

          Reply
          • I don’t recall the trainer wearing the RED/BLUE orbs on a bracelet..

            But I just realized that since the two Gems are coloured differently, they could be a way to transform the legendaries

        • Honestly I don’t there is a set confirmation for Syncro Mega some say it’s between trainer and pokemon. Others say its a new form like mega so I don’t think debating it will solve anything

          Reply
      • I’m going to laugh if it’s real. I don’t want it to but I was also wrong about the zygarde forms being anime only lol

        Reply
    • I think if Synchro is real then it’s just their way of phasing out the actual mega stones. It’s getting a bit ridiculous how many you have to collect and if they keep making megas then it’ll only get worse. If they change the mechanic slightly by saying a way around needing an actual stone is by simply having a super strong bond with the pre-approved Pokemon then that’ll be better. I dpo agree that they should probably stay away from the whole Pokemon looks like trainer/fusion thingy. Simply saying that the trainer and Pokemon have melded minds is good enough.

      Reply
      • I don’t know if it’ll phase out mega stones, but I think Synchro may be a way to address the fact that everyone wants a mega for their favorite Pokemon, so instead of making like what, 300-400 mega stones, it still makes it possible for megas to exist, but the addition of synchro allows other Pokemon to become stronger too, and assuming I’m correct about the BST increase and items, it’d be an interesting way to try to balance competitive play.

  7. Hey anyone remember me? Not been around since XY days.
    Anyways I’m hoping we see some good gameplay. A few new mons, some more info on the theme and syncho evolution if there will be such a thing!

    Reply
  8. Yeah yeah, E3 is good and all, but guess who just became a licensed driver? THIS GUY! (not related to anything constructive, I know, but I just want to share my happiness with all my PokeJungle friends!)

    • Usually about 30 minutes of gameplay. I’m guessing that it would be longer due to them only showing two titles tomorrow. So, I’m guessing about an hour to an hour-thirty minutes.

      Reply
      • Thanks
        But I think that’s a lot of wishful thinking hehe.
        I think they would be forced to show us more than they want if it were that long

  9. TyrantitarTube brought it up for a few records but I think it would be Really cool if we could choose and change the environment in Wi-Fi battles. Like they do in some of the Pokemon leagues with different fields. It would make Secret Power more interesting online.

    Reply
    • lol. We don’t speak of that kid around here. He’s part of the Triforce of Click-bait. I remember GameXplain talking about this a while back. It would be a neat feature, but I doubt it would be implemented. We’re going to get a simple stock background again.

      Reply
    • As much as I detest Ttube, I would love this to be a thing. It feels like the kind of feature Game Freak might implement if, well, it weren’t Game Freak. Random, sometimes coming off as lazy, infuriating Game Freak. Eh. Pfff

      Reply
    • A lot of people have wanted this since they started labeling the arena right before battles like it was planned but was scrapped. It’d probably cause problems unless arenas were randomized before battles, like in RWBY or kinda like the Hunger Games, mainly because there are abilities and moves that affect and are affected by the environment.

      Reply
  10. oh boy this is going to be great tomorrow is going to be at an all-time hype, let’s just hope that schedule is true because I like to see some new stuff in Pokemon Sun and Moon!:D

    Reply
  11. It’s really odd that we haven’t heard anything else about the E3 2016 Pokemon Special. It’s supposed to be on Thursday at 7AM PST. I bet they’ll probably announce those details tomorrow, but I just find it a little strange.

    Reply
    • I think it’s going to be a powerful system, yet sell rather poorly. We already have the Xbox One and Xbox One S. The pricing of this system would likely be around $500-$600 dollars as it seems to be as powerful as a mid-range to low-end PC. I’m a Sony and Nintendo fan and I’d rather purchase a Xbox One S or get Windows 10 (which I already have) instead of that depending on the price.

      Reply
      • It’s all a bit weird really.

        You’re better off getting any multiplatform on PC (or PS4). Then for the Xbox exclusives you’re better with the cheaper One S and buying games so you can play them on PC.

        Reply
        • Exactly! You could easily upgrade your PC to Windows 10 to play the Xbox Exclusive Titles instead of having to buy a console at all or you could purchase a Xbox One S since Microsoft stated that all systems will be supported while the Scorpio is out. Honestly, there is really no incentive to even purchasing the Scorpio. It’s not in a similar scenario with the Wii U and NX, where an actual upgrade is necessary.

          Reply
    • The Scorpio looks and sounds like it’ll only be fully enjoyable with 4K TV, a luxury not many people can afford.

      Reply
      • Not yet. Imagine how popular that thing will be in 2020 when 4K TVs and monitors are more widespread and the Scorpio becomes less expensive. That is, if the Neo doesn’t turn out to be more enticing.

        Reply
        • It’s a similar case to 1080p. Eventually, the price of 4K devices will begin to drop as the technology becomes cheaper. By 2020, the Scorpio will be about 3 years old. I could already see 4K picking up, yet more people owning the NX, Xbox One S, or the PS4 Neo. Then again, I don’t have a 3rd Eye, so I can’t properly see the future like you.

          Reply
          • At this rate, I think 2020 is a safe bet for at least 20-30% of consumers upgrading to 4K devices, monitors, and television sets. Along with VR, which I believe the Scorpio will popularize greatly for the common gamer, I am extremely excited for what the next decade will bring.

      • That will be the case now with most next next gen consoles. When they happen and believe me they will. Eventually 4K will reduce just like HDTV and Blu-ray . its a matter of time we are just too early for that to happen yet

        Reply
  12. Not sure about this person’s legitimacy (as I just heard of him), but some Twitter leaker said that Sony’s press conference is much better than Microsoft’s. Considering how much I enjoyed that one, I’m extremely excited now.

    Reply
    • Hopefully either a cheaper PS4 will be revealed or a much better one like rumored. I want my money’s worth for Kingdom Hearts and 4K XMen.

      Reply
      • I hope to hell they never release a PS4 Slim, I’m mad enough already that I caved in and got the Uncharted limited edition. I’m sure they will anyway, but I’d rather not.

        Reply
          • I don’t think they will release a PS4 Slim with the Neo on the way. The PS4 is already smaller AND more powerful than the Xbox One S. They also have so many sales, so they do not need a hardware refresh. I think the standard PS4 and PS4 Neo are all they need in coexistence. It would make me much happier this way, as well.

      • Pffff…KH that’s a laugh…..tentative release date will be revealed……2020…..hahaha But for realsies…..I am pretty excited about KH 3 lol I’d be willing to bet we get some more info on when the FF 7 remake is coming out. Probably not til next year, but more info would be cool!

        Reply
          • I played through Dream Drop Distance on my 3ds so I can’t say I’m too excited for it as I don’t know if I can play through it again….KH has always been a hard series for me to get through. I always get part way through and then stop…..then many many months later I finally pick it back up and finish. In the case of KH2 I took a whole year off….if not more…lol

          • KH II and later were easy for me to finish. The only one I had trouble with was the first one. The two I struggled with story wise was Re: Coded and Re: Chain of Memories.

          • It’s never been that the games were particularly hard per say it’s just for whatever reason I always got part way through and felt like I was done for a while only to pick it back up much later on…..Idk maybe me and KH have some relationship issues lol

    • I didn’t get to watch Microsoft’s conference, but I’ve heard decent things. I’m looking forward to what Sony has to offer. In the past few years Sony has been doing a reasonably decent job of not being terrible. Hopefully they continue this year as well.

      Reply
      • For the first time in a long time, Microsoft didn’t *completely* fail with their presentation. Ending with the Scorpio was one of the smartest decisions they’ve ever made at E3, in my opinion.

        Reply
        • I think the whole conference way of releasing all the info we get is a terrible thing. All they really do is pad out an hour and a half with stuff that people don’t care about or with terrible demonstrations that should have been prerecorded. I think this is where Nintendo really took a step ahead. I’ve been bored during directs for sure……oh boy have I been bored…. but at the very least they are mostly under an hour. Having to sit through a long stretch of bad jokes and people stumbling through their lines is mind numbing…….This can be said really about any of the companies that present during this week. It’s always smart to end on a game or project that has footing because if they don’t the entire conference is a wash even if they revealed some good stuff. lol
