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!
man guys that was the most best E3 ever it was so awesome seeing all the best games Rhythm Heaven Megamix,Pokemon Sun and Moon,Yokai Watch 2 man I can’t wait to get some of these cool games!XD
Better than last year for sure.
The only thing that would’ve made it better would’ve beeen a new Animal Crossing… :/
Hopefully an NX launch title!
Yeah, I really hope so. They failed on giving us a GOOD console AC for the WiiU..
Hopefully NX launch titles will be AC, LoZ, and Pikmin 4.
Insta buy all of them
Same here. I’m hoping there is a special LoZ NX bundle.
Name origins this gen are confusing to me. I have no idea with Grubbin other than a grub, and Yungoos confuses me as well. Why is there no ‘e’ at the end, and why the yung?
Young as in its age
Then why isn’t it Youngoose and instead Yungoos?
They like to take their liberties
It makes the name less convincing to me, but idk.
Well think of it like Miltank, where they just leave out letters
I guess that’s true. I think I’m just salty because something about the name “Yungoos” strikes me the wrong way.
I just don’t like that it’s very similar to Zangoose. I think they could’ve been more creative
Don’t forget about Electrike and Eelektrik!
Yeah…I did :I
It sounds the same, but to be fair, they both mongeese (mongooses?).
Also the other one is a biped and white with a tattoo.
This seems like a new concept to me. They never really used to misspell words that I remember.
Muk (Muck), Furret (Ferret), Wynaut (Why Not), Honchkrow (Crow), Timburr (Timber), Klefki (Key).
That’s just one from each generation off the top of my head.
Huh. I stand corrected. (But Furret isn’t changing a word, it splices fur and ferret)
That’s true; I’ll give you that one. 😉
There’s also Poliwag (Polliwog)
Creativity? There isn’t a rule that it has to be spelled exactly like its original concept.
True, but to me it makes the Pokemon name origin less obvious.
Corruption of the name just so it doesn’t sound obvious
When I see Grubbin I see (Grub + Grab/Grabbin’ + Insect)
And with Yungoos: (Young + Hungry + Mongoose)
Hmm. I think Hungoose would be a better name, but the people making the game know better than I do.
Yungoos will evolve into Oldgoos
Olgoos?
Young -> Old, I think?
Yeah, because they didn’t spell young right either so that would work better.
Maaaaaaybe they are trying to make a Dragon Quest reference.
Though yeah I guess that Yangus guy doesn’t look anywhere near the critter.
SO I’m doing the fav randomizer thing, and I’m at the end almost and it has me trying to choose between Espeon and Gardevoir and I want to pass since I can’t choose and it’s like ‘Nah, bro, decide.’
….What do I do? xD
You can keep taking it to get a 2nd and 3rd and so on.
Surprisingly I actually got Froslass, Mismagius, and Banette when I retook it. And here I thought I liked Psychic types. :p
I mean, true, but it’s still hard to decide because I really love both of them and it’s hard to decide
I love Espeon’s design more and how it looks catlike, but I have really fond memories with Gardevoir.
Ah, well it’s the last 2, you gotta pick now which is your most favorite then relegate the other to #2…
ur name is PercyEspeon so it’s pretty obvious u should choose Espeon ….Magic Bounce is awesome though.
Yellow in hawaiian is Melemele.
The Island that you start on is called melemele – aka from Hala’s quote: “for all life on our islands, and for all those who undertake the island challenge with joy in their hearts.. we pray for your protection… for them and all Melemele”
And Hau is grandson to the Kahuna – which means Wise man in Hawaii.
Maybe Hala is the Kahuna, and Hau is his grandson – both names start with Ha… and their hairstyles similar?
I think Hau being Hala’s grandson is established already. Or at least I’m taking this for granted as a fact without confirmation… I’ll have to re-watch the Treehouse playthrough later…
So Core Punisher was confirmed as a dragon type move ….it looks like ground type for me.
Well it was super-effective against Garchomp in the video, so it could only be Fairy, Ice or Dragon.
yeah Dragon type confirmed by serebii…..it’s just looks like ground type for me.
I suppose I would’ve drawn that conclusion too if it wasn’t for Garchomp’s typing, since it explodes from the ground.
I’m gonna name my Zygarde, Cell in S/M
Well they call it Complete forme in the English version, so no Perfect Cell for you. :p
guys that was the most best E3 ever,but now it’s time for what we know so far in Pokemon Sun and Moon List. so what do we know so far?
Good morning everyone. I would just like to ask anyone on here to keep my Little kitten Sylveon in your thoughts and prayers today. She had a seizure last night and then went into cardiac arrest. She’s now being hospitalized for the next few days at the vet. We don’t think she will make it but there’s always hope.
I’m really sorry to hear this. I hope she’s gonna be fine. Sending love from Holland <3
Thank you so much!
Oh no 🙁 Prayers and good vibes being sent 🙂 :*
Here’s a spirit bomb from somewhere in the backwater of southeast asia! <3
Get well soon to yer kitty!
Thank you!

Lookie what I found
Apparently it goes by Monjaw
If I had to say Normal/Dark
I love it, it looks like it would swallow a Rattata whole
Woow it actually looks pretty legit. Where did you find it?
http://boards.4chan.org/vp/thread/26760924/yungoos-evo
From the same thread, I don’t know it anyone has already posted these, more simple designs if they are real, time will tell
Well the guy on 4Chan claims to have seen it on Twitter and it’s being deleted
I gotta say, if these are real, I’m loving the simplistic designs. And they seem to be taken more inspiration from the actual region of Hawaii, which is nice
I’m positive that this could be real
I just try to think how Gamefreak would design a Pokemon compared to how we could’ve
Those are painfully fake
The art just doesn’t possess the Pokemon Aura
Yeah, I’m thinking the same. The art style just doesn’t fit at all.
I think for me its the female-esque design that throws them off and looks horribly fake, the masculine one is a stretch but doesn’t look extremely fake, the little ones, well they could go either way, but I agree with you in thinking they are fake as heck
they’re obviously fake alright, and they even look so hardly believable as Pokemons
Not posting the full size images, tsk tsk 😛
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1466077023299.jpg
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1466079371814.jpg
Didn’t post the full size image cause watching OITNB which is more important to me right now/we’ll find out if they’re real when the games are released in 5 months, haha
someone posted about this the other day on twitter and I thought it was poke jungle actually saying it was fake
I can’t really say, but I’m leaning towards real
I would consider using it if real
I just looked and it was Pokejungle that tweeted about it the other day saying it looked like the run of the mill fake but he also didn’t know for sure and said he wouldn’t mind if it was real, so who knows
I just want info
I’m going crazy
This was posted on the Pokejungle Facebook page 2 days ago ? Anyway it’s fake.
Awwwww
I do 100% agree tho that I LOVE this design .
Yungoos VS Rattata !!!
This Monjaw or Humongoos as others call it, I noticed that it’s left ear is actually chipped, this could either mean a slip up or an artistic marvel showing this Pokemon scuffles with nearly any Pokemon in hopes of devouring it, including things bigger than itself
Personally I really like it, it just looks like a absolute fighter and eater, if it’s previous evolution was always hungry this form looks like it needs to eat constantly
Also this just struck me
What if they introduce a new Biting attack that recovers HP like literally taking a bite out of the opponent and swallowing instead of bite and hold/release, I was going to say that causing the opponent to faint recovers double or fully heals it
That would be interesting …. and slightly disturbing.
It would probably only be Base 75 though to keep it in line with other draining moves (Giga Drain and Drain Punch).
With Strong Jaw that’s a Base 112.5 BP move before STAB 😮
If this were to happen I could give it to my Bug/Dark Mosquito Pokemon which is all about HP Draining
So…Leech life
I wanted to call it Blood Fang but try getting that past a E rating
So Dread Fang
Would it be bug or dark type?
I wanted it to be Bug because Vampsipher is this colossal Mosquito Pokemon that stabs its mouth into prey and drain their fluids
It would be the master of HP draining attack with its signature ability “Life Drainer” which increases the damage of HP draining moves
And it would learn Life Stealer, a Bug Type move that is basically Leech Life 3.5
But it has shit defense
I think it has a lot more opportunity as a bug type move. I like your idea for a mosquito pokemon too.
But Life Stealer is Bug
Base damage 80
The user jabs the opponent with its mouth and drains their energy, recovers half damage dealt
I know, I’m just saying that I think it has a lot of opportunity as a bug type move. 😛 Perhaps other bug pokes could learn it
HP draining bite move? How about Siphon Fang for its name?
HOLY SHIT THE ANIME NEARLY GOT THIS AWAY FROM US
https://mobile.twitter.com/MagiaPokemon/status/743530450623303680/photo/1
This HAS to be a Pokemon of some kind it just can’t be a coincidence
hope not, a snail that looks exactly like a real life snail would be kinda boring for a pokemon, but ya never know
Sludge…pokeball…charm cat…cat….bird…etc
all of those have at least an animated or interesting like design though, this is literally just a snail…
You can’t tell me grimer, voltorb, and friends are interesting. Grimer looks like sludge – pure sludge lol. Fearow looks like a crane.
Hey, Grimer and Muk are awesome! I especially love their animations in gen 6 graphics 😀
It’s just blobs lol. Don’t get me wrong, I like them too. At the end of the day they’re still blobs of sludge and trubbish is still a bag of trash (one of my personal favorites).
Yeah, but sometimes simple can be good 🙂 I’m not sure about that snail though.
Maybe it’s too simple?
@TheLavenderSwirlix Is this what you meant?
yes this is what I have been trying to say
My bad, my fault on misinterpretation.
Yes, it is way too simple. At least grimer and friends have eyes and animation that reflect their personality
Idk, just doesn’t seem special or cute. Who knows if it even is a pokemon though.
they do not look exactly like they their real life counter parts… this snail has nothing that would set it apart from its real life counterpart with is what I am trying to say, its like when they had real life dogs and fish in the Kanto anime, everyone knew they were not pokemon because of what they looked like, this is the same, people know that grimer and the like are pokemon, do you understand what I’m trying to say here?
Let’s see, it’s huge, pinkish-purple, the shell is just a turned cylinder on its back rather than being a part of the snail.
You said grimer and them were interesting, which they’re really not. Simple designs? Yes. Interesting? No.
Nothing is wrong with simplicity, but it doesn’t always mean it’s going to be interesting, design wise.
Did you mean its design is too simple, as in lacking personality (if it were a pokemon and not a kids play thing)?
Look I only say this because right know we only have one Snail in the form of Shellmet
The fact they would build a actual looking snail like thing makes me suspicious
well we also technically have gloomy and Sliggoo which are slug/snail like pokemon.
Shellmet is the first thing you go to for snail pokemon? Not even Magcargo?
oh I forgot them, theres also Shellos which is a sea slug (not a snail i know but still lol)
no. not still. a slug is a slug -_-
I am aware… whats your point?
They are still extremely similar creatures
okie 😛
Don’t try to understand me 😛 I’m nuts
utuber6061 has uploaded some recreations of the theme’s we’ve heard. I’ll post them here, along with their channel (P.S. I saw you @NXLibra:disqus 🙂 )
[ https://www.youtube.com/user/utuber6061 ]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZs_6KxpFak
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzi-ixQxAb0
Ha! You know me; teaching fools in the comments! 😉
Listening to these recreations makes me definitely feel the hawaiian vibe going on.
And with the rival, I definitely think this is Hau-exclusive. Based on what we know of Hau, it fits him, I feel, more than it can fit any other rival.
That trainer battle music in my opinion is horrible. It doesn’t really follow a clear melody and is really all over the place.
Read this online but apparently someone went through the files of the recent Pokken update and there were files on Scizor, Empoleon & Darkrai. Could be new fighters/supports (but even if they are supports, one will still be fighter cause only 2 per support)
I saw an Instagram post about it.
I wonder when they’re gonna release Volcanion internationally. It’d be kinda weird if they don’t release it for ORAS/X&Y considering it’s a gen 6 pokemon…
Probably by the Movie
When is that out?
drawing i did of grubbin, my new favorite bug type!
I love it <3 I honestly can't wait to see what it evolves into :3
Same! I’m hoping for an electric beetle
Nekkoala and Iwanko have just gone and vanished. I think this might be the first time that CoroCoro information hasn’t been revealed worldwide. I really wanted to know those names as well…
I know, it’s crazy. The only thing I can remember that’s somewhat close to this is when Trevenant was shown in the Mewtwo and Genesect movie (I believe?) and it never got revealed internationally til after the game came out.
But it doesn’t make sense here, since this was in CoroCoro and Trevenant never was. It’s odd.
God, that was awful. Remember the drawings people were making that looked nothing like the end product?
Yes! Do you remember the name people gave it before its official name was revealed?
I just remember it being referred to by its Japanese name Oorotto.
I was wondering that cause usually the international reveal comes not long after but of course with E3 and three Pokemon newly revealed, I’m sure they’re just waiting a bit for the hype to dye down, before announcing it. Maybe it’ll happen this Sunday if they showcase it on that Pokemom show?
Nrryghhhhh I’m getting info antsy again
My only hope is the Hobby Fair next week
Otherwise it’s a solid 4 weeks until Corocoro
And 6-5 months for the whole game
UGHHHHHH JUST FREEZE ME OR OPEN UP A TIME PORTAL
I hope that we don’t have to wait until release.
We’re going to be getting NX information this fall, which was confirmed by the General Manger (GM) of Nintendo of Canada. I honestly thought this was kind of obvious due to Nintendo having to reveal the console before 2017. It’s likely were going to see the console in September or October. I’m guessing it would be before or during the Tokyo Game Show, which is the second biggest gaming event. Reggie said their focusing on content with the NX! I hope it delivers with the promise of third-party titles.
Gamefreak is missing an opportunity here. Have an event for Volcanion in the gen 6 games then activate an event in SuMo letting you catch Magearna! Like the Zoroark/Shiny Hampsters from Gen5
I remember when having a Zoroark was actually rare… But then Zorua was a gift Pokémon in BW2
And now you can just catch Zoroark in X/Y
Aaaaaaand I bought a New 3DS. Thank you all for your recommendations
What’d you do with the old one?
I still have it so I can system transfer, idk if I’ll trade it in though.
Omg you’re so lucky you can trade in old systems! I wonder if there’s a place I can do that here…
Yeah, but gamestop really doesn’t give that much..
*Gives brand new 3DS system to gamestop*
Gamestop- Here is your gamestop gift card for trading in your purchase, it has a balance of $3 enjoy
Would you like store credit or cash? I can offer you -$1 cash
People always give Gamestop a bad name during trade ins, but I’ve gotten like 25 dollars for games 2 years old, and I got 40 dollars for my 3 year old 3ds.
There’s no gamestop in my country but tbh I’d take any money if it meant not packing away my old 3ds to collect dust
You might be better off trying to sell it on ebay or something though!
I’ve never sold something online before ;~;
Im scawed
It’s not too bad, especially since the 3DS is small and easy to ship!
I beg to differ on “no new info”
Those 4 actions we saw for Pikipek, Yungoos and Grubbin were what the Action button is on the new pokedex. Now I guess we know it’s 4 animations of each pokemon.
Yeah, it seems to be one movement for standing still, an idle animation, a physical hitting move, and an indirect move
Although I noticed that they accidentally did Grubbin’s direct attack animation twice and we don’t see it’s idle animation.
Who drew your avatar?
I don’t know for sure, since my friend Hipster commissioned it from someone on dA, I’ll ask him about who did it.
TheHipsterLiza? ;-;
Yep haha. Here’s a link to the artist 🙂
http://sallychan.deviantart.com
omg yours looks so cute with a lil Rowlet >.<
btw it's me 3dsnick ;~;
Thank you :3 And yeah, I knew it was you Nick 😛
The animation for Fiery Dance is SO COOL <3 <3 <3
Is that a move? Where’s the animation? I dont remember seeing it 0-0
It’s Volcarona’s special move. I can’t really find a video for it though..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2mfiEBTRxE
Heres one!
All day today I had nothing but desire for more info but I put that aside for something I want even more
Warhog!!!
Warhog: the Macho PKM
Ground/Fighting
Ability Guts/Sheer Force
HP 120
Attack 145
Defense 95
Sp Atk 30
Sp Def 90
Speed 70
Bst 600 (I think)
A massive pig like humanoid with dark pinkish skin with splotches of dark brown mud on its body in the shape of a leotard, majorly muscular arms, legs and pectorals, its would have a 4 clawed hoof like fists and hoofs for feet, its warthog like face has a long snout with 4 tusks coming out of the mouth 2 big and 2 small, its eyes would be bright red and it would sport a large Crimson Mohawk that runs down the top of his head all the way to the base of his back ending with a tail with a small tuft
It is a Bst of 550 with a very appealing stat spread.
Even better that lets me bump up its attack to 155 and its speed to 80
Giving it a above average BST of 570 which is just below the standard OU Legend
But the bread and butter is its jaw dropping attack power and the most STAB super effective attacks ever
This is probably super unlikely, but I really want there to be a virus Pokemon. Probably not actual size, of course, but still fairly small. It could have a new move similar to Curse that inflicts a new Sickness status on a Pokemon that takes away HP every turn, with a very low chance of it spreading to surrounding Pokemon on the field.
As someone who loves cell biology, I’d be over the moon if we got a virus pokemon. Idk about all the status stuff, but the concept is interesting.
Just gonna go ahead and drop this theory bomb here…
The sense this video makes is eye opening.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEtu7c2hMvs
I like the idea of visiting Azoth as opposed to the entirety of Kalos. It could tie up loose ends without giving us a repeat of the same region we just played.
Azoth isn’t a place y’know
The Azoth Kingdom* It was in the video.
And that’s a Movie Location which has never once been in a game
In case you haven’t really realized, Magearna technically has zero in-game information outside of it being made by humans and that it suffers for Pokemon and will try to help
But the cold hard fact is that we know nothing else of it
And the movie claims that Magearna was abducted by the Azoth kingdom not originating, and the whole Azoth Kingdom is a sham since
And I cannot stress this enough Movies and Games never once mixed
Except the part were Mega Mewtwo Y appeared in the Genesect movie, before Megas were officially announced for the games.
And how exactly is the Azoth Kingdom not a place, when its a bloody kingdom? Doesn’t matter if its a movie exclusive location lol.
Mega Mewtwo Y used the term “Awakened Form”
Which by all means is basically Mega Evolution and I base this on Mewtwo’s mutant DNA and the sheer fact that Mega Stones could not have existed before Mewtwo’s birth
I theorize that Mew itself can utilize a Pseudo-Mega Evolution itself without the aid of a specific stone, and Mega Mewtwo Y it takes on a Mew aspect so this aids this theory
As for X it is purely artificial Mega Evolution
But if mega stones were created by AZ firing the Ultimate Weapon (3000 years before RBY), then they’ve been around for much longer than mewtwo, who was only created a few decades before RBY…
It could be the one place that’s both in the anime and games 😛 There’s that walled city after all, but then again, it’s in Alola, not in Kalos.
We don’t know until we get the info.
I don’t think we can shut down anything at this point, really.
I have extreme doubts about that
Anime and Game have a very thick like of no canonical
Even so, I still think we will go back to Kalos, but it was something I thought could happen before all the AZOTH stuff.
…But, did you watch the video?
Azoth is mentioned in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. The movie’s setting is the Azoth Kingdom which is located in Kalos.
This video brings up an assload of points.
Project AZOTH not the kingdom
There is no known records of in game file text that mention it,
It is a codename for plans to obtain the power of the ultimate weapon in hope of super charging Pokemon with power similar to Mega Evolution
The very second I saw the words “Kalos” and “Back to” I lost all optimism
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen any plot information come from the Volcanion movie… I wonder why nobody’s covered it yet (from what I’ve seen)
Don’t even bother it’s not canon
But wouldn’t there be more information about Magearna’s creation and the Soul Heart..? Also those “evil” Mega Evolution things
*Face Palm*
Non-Canonical you dummy, the Soul Heart is game canon
“Magearna is a Mythical Pokémon that was created by a scientist of uncommon genius 500 years ago. Magearna has the power to perceive the emotions, thoughts, and feelings of other Pokémon. If a Pokémon is injured, Magearna will feel the other’s pain and suffering and will try as hard as it can to save that Pokémon.”
“Magearna’s real body is the spherical construction in its chest called the Soul-Heart, created by a scientist who gathered the life energy from Pokémon.”
Ah Dookie, I love his videos <3
Just here to say the whole disconnection to Project AZOTH and The Azoth Kingdom ties are all false
Project AZOTH files
“PROJECT AZOTH File No. 1 The goal of Project AZOTH is to return the world—return everything—to the beginning. In order to further the project, we must proceed with research on Groudon’s Primal ReversionOR/Kyogre’s Primal ReversionAS. Primal Reversion is a potential of Pokémon Evolution, a potential different from Mega Evolution. Mega Evolution is made possible by the energy of people and Pokémon. Primal Reversion is made possible by natural energy. In Primal Reversion, GroudonOR/KyogreAS absorbs natural energy into its body, thereby increasing its power dramatically. Both states significantly enhance Pokémon’s power: the difference lies in the source of the required energy.”
“PROJECT AZOTH File No. 2 We intend to analyze the power of the ultimate weapon used in Kalos 3,000 years ago and work on the development of a drill weapon utilizing the technology. The Seafloor Cavern is sealed by the power of a Legendary Pokémon. The only way to gain access to the cavern is to break the seal with power that exceeds that of the Pokémon. According to the report from the Petalburg recon team, Devon Corporation holds the secret of the technology of the ultimate weapon. We will dedicate all our resources to obtain this technology.”
