Today is the Official Japanese recap of everything Pokémon related at Sun & Moon. We won’t be providing live coverage as we’re not expecting any new information, though should some arise we will update swiftly! If anything there’s a chance we could see some Grubbin, Nekkoala and Iwanko in action, but we’ll see!
To watch the stream you will need to visit the niconico website (click HERE) and sign up. We recommend using either Facebook or Twitter to do so. Once you have done so you can enjoy the stream!
Stick around and chat in the comments and we’ll bring you the big news… if there is any, of course. 😉
[UPD]: The stream is over and did not reveal any new information, new trailer added above!
well at least we saw all the best games in E3!
I’m trying to keep my hopes down but I still hope they might show SOMETHING new!
let’s hope so.
I’m not expecting anything. :<
Watching it right now. It’s not likely that we’ll get our Iwanko and Nekkoala info just yet… 🙁
I have a weird feeling, mostly paranoid, that they’re fake.
Yeah, I saw your comment but considering the phases of the legendaries, they’re probably real. God, how pissed I would be if Iwanko turned out to be fake… I’m in love with that thing.
Same thing for me and the Koala Bear Pokemon. I like them both. I remember before the leaks were in the process of being verified real by Serebii and Pokejungle and other sources, someone said on HeavyMetalFairy’s Twitter that the Koala looked like had it been done on DeviantArt.
Well, they seem legit to me. Same thing with the starter evo leaks… The difference of course is that I want Iwanko and Nekkoala to be real and the starters to be fake. That Popplio evo just doesn’t sit with me, the more I look at it, the more disgusting it gets. I started to like Litten’s and Rowlet’s looked fine from the start but idk… Did you overcome that love-hate relationship with Rowlet’s final?
Btw, subject changed to GO. It’s not likely that we’ll get anything new.
I still just can’t get it out of my mind that Rowlet’s final evolution in the leak looks like a bigger Hawlucha wearing an archer’s motif.
Well, there’s that one pic on the upper side of the sheet with the head exposed. It looks like a swallow with that head, not like an owl. That archer thing is awesome but it seems too complicated to be real…
To me, I sadly flip it on the other side of the coin. These designs look too good to be fake. It seems to me that Nintendo likes to put the most thought into the Starters and the Mascot Legendaries when designing them. But apparently they didn’t do so good this Generation in tems of the Starters especially Litten. If the leaks, are true, which I think they are. God, I will punch Game Freak if it’s real & if it is Fire/Fighting! I think hundreds of fans would want to join me for that.
Personally, I like Fighting types in general so I would have no problems with it being Fighting. But I’ll be sad if it turns to be real. Litten should’ve stayed on 4 legs because it had so much potential. And I can’t stress enough how much I hate this girly approach of Popplio’s final…
I don’t mind Popplio. I can kinda see where they were going with that. A mermaid/sea lion combo. But then again, it’s just downright weird to have a feminine design for a Starter although Delphox was based off of a Sorcereress or Witch.
Delphox is all right. It’s feminine but not to this extent. I like almost every feminine Pokémon so far but this… Something’s just not right with this one.
Unfortunately with these leaks, there’s always one or two you sorta like or you just either hate them all. No in-between. I haven’t seen one person that actually likes them all. Lol.
When the final forms of the Unova starters were leaked I hated Serperior so much. After looking at it for like 2 days I started to like it and now it’s one of my favourite starters. But this thing… Sorry for whining all the time because of Popplio’s final form but I just don’t want to accept that my favourite Alola starter becomes… this…
For me when the Unova Starters leaked I remember not knowing what to think. But when they were verified, Iike with current Alola Starter leaks, I hated Emboar, Serperior was my in-between, and I loved Samurott. As much as I somewhat love Popplio’s final (sadly, manly points lost for old Drake), I don’t want this leak to be real either.
Well, it’s not like we decide what’s real and what’s not. What pseudo would you like to see this generation? Personally, I’m hoping for a Dragon/Fighting. It’s my dream since Gen 4. Also a Dragon Eeveelution would be awesome to give Sylveon a counterpart.
Serperior sucks! It’s so uncreative. It’s literally just a big snake. They could’ve eve spiced it up by giving it arms. But no. It’s just a basic snake. Doesn’t even have a second typing. The worst grass starter hands down
Yeah and Delphoxs design still doesn’t bash you over the head with its femininity the way the FAKE poplio mermaid does. Neither does meganium
Ehat evos? What leaks?
Can you show me these evos?
There was an article a few weeks ago containing some pretty convincing art of the final evos of the starters. I hope, they’re fake…
How could you even think that these are real?
I hope they’re not. However, the art style is very convincing and that Top Secret thing is also on the images that we saw in the very first “trailer” back in February. So yeah… If they’re fake someone did a very splendid job. Be fake… Please…
If they are fake, I will want to find the person who made them and made many in the community suffer and strangle them!
Yeah seriously you guys. These Pokemon have no cross over appeal from a business prospective. Rowlett is the most adored starters in years. Do you really think they would have it evolve into a creature who doesn’t even have a face?? Do you honestly believe they would troll us with yet another fire/fighting starter?? Do you really think they would evolve poplio into a hyper feminine sea lion mermaid?? Get real people. Not too mention we have no idea where these leaks came from and they were clearly modeled after the old Noivern leak to gain credibility. Further morr, I don’t ever recall the final starter evolutions being leaked or revealed before the middle stage.
Clearly they’re not fake. Why would they be featured in Corocoro if they were? And we’ve seen Iwanko for a sec in the trailer!
The only reason they weren’t in the E3 trailer is because the new Pokemon are all found on Route 1. Maybe these two won’t be found on that particular route.
That’s also possible. Iwanko’s Rock type might hint that it’s around a cave or another rocky area and Nekkoala might be in some kind of a forest too.
They aren’t fake. It would have already been confirmed. They were not officially announced until the 15th, the day after the Sun and Moon Info. They were leaked earlier.
-_-zzzz i’m bored
Yep, me too.
Nice… I was kicked out…
This E3 was rather enjoyable for me! We got some amazing Sony information with God of War, Spider-Man, and Death Standing. Obviously, Nintendo was my favourite with the amazing S/M love footage and slew of information for LoZ: Breath of the Wind! I cannot wait for all of these game to release. My wallet is crying!
Didn’t watch anything apart from Nintendo to be honest. I’ve never been into Zelda but that new game seems sooooo awesome. I’ll start to save money for an NX right now 😀
I agree with you regarding Sun and Moon. The gameplay looked amazing! And other than that, I’m purely a Nintendo guy only and my only series that I like are Super Mario and Pokemon of course. I’ve been trying to get into other series such as Legend of Zelda, but I just haven’t been able to find the time or get out of my comfort zone. I bought Ocarina of Time for 3DS but I was never able to finish it and it was a fantastic game for what I saw so far. I can see why people like the Zelda series so much and why Ocarina of Time is considered a classic among many people and that was only my first time playing a Zelda game. I think I should get back into it.
Wow, Masuda in the show.
Doesn’t mean anything. He was on Pokemon House, that little kid’s show back a few months ago, and we all thought he was gonna show something new but they never did.
Look in the seat! it’s bird! it’s a plane!
It’s a Masuda! :O
Its pokemon go
Well guys, that’s it. Nothing new as expected.
Okay. Moving on with our day to day lifes until the next news update. Lol. Nothing to see here folks. xD
watching that was a waste
I’m glad I was spared and had nb97 to tell us updates.
I didn’t watch it either just had it in the background. I’m quite good at understanding Japanese so I pretty much knew what was going on.
Well, I appreciated your updates! Thank you!
Glad I could help 😀
just a recap but that was the Best E3 Ever!
By bluekomadori:
Wow, nice pic. Thanks for sharing! Btw, it reminds me. In the S/M stream they said something like models represent their actual sizes in battle, compared to your trainer at least. I can’t wait to see Wailord’s size compared to our character 😀
That idea truly terrifies me
It’s not just Wailord though. Bigger Pokémon like Groudon or Tyranitar could be interesting as well. The smaller Pokémon we’ve seen so far look pretty good. I’m curious about the others. They should increase the distance between the 2 opposing Pokémon to make the difference more realistic. I mean, if they’re going for real size, a Tyranitar and an Aggron would be much closer to each other than Popplio and Caterpie in the video if they keep the distance the same. We’ll see.
I’m excited to see battles with bigger Pokemon. Already liked the battle with Krookodile and Pangoro 🙂
I’m getting some serious little mermaid vibes. And I love the Staryu and Starmie in the sand <3
So beautiful, so pristine a true marvel of nature
BLOW IT UP AND BUILD A OIL RIG
YEAH ‘MURICA!!!!
AN * you build an oil rig
I wanna be where the people are… <3
well guys it is all that rehab just gave us the recap of all things that we know I’m Pokemon Sun,Moon and Go,there still is next month Corocoro.
Japanese trailer where you can see the “Actions” of the Pokemon they meant in the Pokedex. The rest is nothing new.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF_OrULIEWA
The Hammer Arm animation in the Magearna segment looks awesome.
They showed the Brick Break animation on the US/Europe Trailer. I’m guessing that Sandile, Eevee, and Pancham will be in the S/M PokeDex.
If Eevee’s in there a new Eeveelution might be on the way. It’s not decisive because of the older Pokémon in the dex but let’s hope for a Dragon-type Eeveelution.
Not surprised there wasn’t anything new in this stream. They made no hints at it being something terribly special…….well except for calling it a special, but I digress. Anyway there wasn’t anything telling us that there would be new stuff. I still wonder how they plan to show off Iwanko and Nekkoala. Maybe next weekend when Masuda does the World Hobby fair we’ll see them.
It is a special for the japanese since the e3 thing was in English… I think.
Ok, so since I posted this on the last article no one really answered my question. So let’s try this again since I’m curious. Since Gen 7 probably won’t see Sinnoh remakes (I want them but we just had ORAS on the 3DS so very unlikely), what games do you think will follow Sun and Moon? Will it be a third game or a similar approach to Black and white 2
I’m still hoping for Sinnoh remakes to be honest. I know it’s been one remake per handheld so far, but just maybe. A third game that connects S/M and XY would be awesome though.
Didn’t they say they’re not getting rid of the 3DS anytime soon?
They better not considering the New 3DS has so much potential.
I completely agree. Just bought one myself after my “not so slim” father sitting on my old one. So yeah… I’m loving it so far 😀
I have the 20th anniversary edition New 3DS. I likeven it a lot but the screen is too small for games like Monster Hunter and Xenoblade so I might get the Sun & Moon edition if it comes to America
Though I want to see a remake of all the other games, done up in this new game graphics, I desperately want them to do a remake of the Yellow Version. THAT would be totally AMAZING in the Sun and Moon graphics. XD
That’s actually completely something I didn’t think about but completely possible! That’s actually an amazing idea!
Hm, I think we could see a sequel to sun and moon maybe…
if they make more games for the 3ds, i have a feeling it’s gonna be a Z ECLIPSE kinda thing
Ugh why no Pubble and Koalumber
I need more I’m just so sick them dangling info over our snouts and not giving anything
I am seriously getting so bored and we have basically 6 months away from the glory of Sun and Moon
I was looking for seeing Iwanko & Nekkoala in this trailer.
this Meowth looks different for me the lack surrounding his eyes looks thicker. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1466083478798.jpg
It very well could be that some special Pokemon may have some unique characteristics, but it could also be the angle at which we’re looking at it.
Twins
I just can’t get over how great these battles look. (And the new engine as a whole) Imagine Sinnoh remakes with this engine or better. Byron standing behind his bastiodon, taunting you with his supreme sexiness, or Archie commanding his sharpedo to crunch you up in that sexy outfit ?
And Earthen lays a beating on them with an onslaught of Fighting Attacks
For those who care NX will not be a super powerful console and will be shown in Fall. Likely not September so either October or November. I’ve been saying October so eh. And when they do talk about it, it will be all NX, just NX so whenever it happens no Pokemon news sadly.
Nintendo’s consoles don’t need to be powerful to succeed, people don’t really care as much about that anymore. I mean this E3 Sony and Nintendo dominated and yet Xbox showed it has the most power compared to the three, and it still came in 3rd for all of the E3 conference, if you ask me its Xbox thats going to have a tough time in sales when the NX comes out, after all you can play almost all the good games xbox has on a sony system plus tons of others that are exclusive, and nintendo offers different games.
People actually do care about power still. Way more than they should. NX will sell shittily. I hope their gimmick isn’t shit or I won’t be buying it either not because lack of power but because shitty gimmicks need to die.
I don’t think most of the gimmicks nintendo has had have been shitty, Amiibo’s are considered a gimmick and they are extremely popular, motion controls were a cool idea on the wii so much so that the other consoles started to use them too, and for the wii u they are still present but you like never use them. The gamepad is a gimmick but its probably one of the best they have had, seeing as how it gives you the ability to play your games off the tv. Nintendo is a great company and they rarely do things that upset their true fans, they upset the fans of other consoles that want them to become these cookie cutter games and consoles that the others usually have. Nintendo knows what they are doing, if you don’t like it don’t get one. Plain and simple. They don’t need to change.
Like I said if the gimmick is shitty I will not be getting one. I hated the Wii because of the shitty gimmick it had. Wii U is ok but nobody wants to make games for it. I much preferred the GC though but then again people didn’t want to make games for it. Nintendo has just been shafted for a long time and they try to make shitty gimmicks to stay relevant and it is usually worse off for them.
I completely agree with you however profit isn’t a thing you should take lightly. They should make things that get new audience into Nintendo as well. There are fans of course but sometimes they’re just not enough. They’re a company after all. Profit is a very important factor. If they want to grab the attention of new people they should change some things. That’s how it works. Btw, I’m fine with Nintendo as it is, I’ve always loved them for what they are.
Yes, that is true, some things could change and it would be totally fine, but I just think they are a unique company that does unique things and if they became like all the rest it would harm them more then hurt them. That being said they do have a lot of fans outside of the nintendo fanbase throughly intrigued with the new Zelda game, there are a lot of people that want to buy an NX purely for that alone so far and that is going to put their sales through the roof when it finally comes out.
It’s their biggest project after all. I’ll probably get an NX for Zelda alone. I’ve never been into the series but this is just too beautiful to miss out. Also, I completely agree regarding their uniqueness. That’s why I don’t like PS4 or Xbox games. They’re almost the same with slightly altered graphics and mechanics. They’re just not original. Nintendo has this unique way of doing games. They’re all completely original and have a fresh and light feel to them. That’s why I mostly play Nintendo games and very rarely some indies like Binding of Isaac.
Ugh… Just got here from CancerFAQS… Cannot have a conversation with those people…
Man its empty in here…
HELLO???
(Echoes)
I think I hear a faint sound of life
…….*Fart*
What an… Earthy scent… ;3
I don’t care for Earthies
They’re smellier variety of hippies
Between you and them, i don’t see a lot of difference…
An impression of a New York echo.
Hello!
(Shut the heck up!)
I just got here xD

According to Soul Heart ability Magearna S.attack should boost after knock out Pangoro …right?
I thought it was only your Pokemon
My english is simple ….but at least I can understand this ” Soul Heart : Raises the Special Attack by one stage when a Pokémon on the field is knocked out”.
if u was right …the should say ..when ur allays on the field is knocked out…right?
The official site says “…each time another Pokemon in the area faints.” At this point there’s really no telling its exact details because the wording can be interpreted as either all Pokemon on the field or all ally Pokemon.
That was my impression of it.
I love the new battle intro where you can’t see the Pokemon at first through the grass. It just adds to the suspense of finding something new!
(Possibly unpopular opinion incoming) Is it bad that having Ohmori as lead producer makes me worried about sun and moon? I mean, ORAS did lots of things well, but it was far from being the best Pokemon games (lack of difficulty, lack of post game (after the delta episode was over that was it)).
