Wonder what they’ll reveal!
<3 PJ
GET IN!!!
what a nice way to start my birth month! ?
I like this way of revealing information a lot more than the usually CoroCoro. Now we really have a date to look forward to! They stepped up their game imo.
They gotta get as much as possible in my own opinion that the worlds for VCG will have even more info!
AAAAAAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGHHHGHHGGHHHHGHHHHH
Nekkoala and Iwanko, now’s your time to shine!
oh man I can’t wait to hear the English names of the two new Pokemon we heard about many days ago. 🙂
Finally Pubble and Koalumber
This also potentially means Koalumber’s Favor text,
Iwanko looks cute, but is really gutsy: No matter how much it gets beaten it’ll keep standing up to its enemies until it beats them. It greets people by pressing the rocks attached to its neck against them, which is kind of painful for the recipient. Its body is small, but it hides a secret.
They say nothing about the Half Awake Pokemon
Well just to be safe it is not 100% positive those are the names they normally have some strange names that small pieces of the names are just there but the names look good so I don’t care.
Dude it’s just a placeholder
I really like the new of the koala evo. Koalumber
Maybe they’ll reveal the secret of the four Pokemon which I already figured out they are the four Guardians of the islands!
Don’t think so. The three starter Pokemon are an one island alone (Melemele) and will be taken on a journey by you and your rival. How are they going to protect an island that way? I guess there will be four new Pokemon as the guardians, or Solgaleo and Lunala will be two out of four.
That probably is true just spitballing what the secret might be
More Pokemon!
And then like 10 days later maybe corocoro will give us something too 🙂
Huzzah pokemon news. These monthly video things really does make it go by faster imo. So what are some predictions? I predict:
1-5 new pokemon
A gym leader
Doggy and Koala footage
Some more areas
New mechanic
P.S last day to get your manaphys so get your tail glow sweeper fast
Im so torn about whether or not to look at this info. When X and Y first came out, I never thought I would be able to afford (with good enough reason for my parents to support my decision) a 2DS/3DS so I looked at the entire pokedex and such when it came out. A year later I got the system and the game and while the story wasn’t spoiled, there were no new pokemon/ evolutions for me to see. I kind of wanted this play through of sun and moon to be like my play through of diamond. My only info going in was the three starter’s evolutions and legendaries because of a poster I received (possibly with the game). But Im torn now. I want to know new info. I want to know which version I should buy due to version exclusives and such. And I want to know the starter evolutions so I know which one I want to pick. I think Im okay with knowing pikipek and the like because I dont know their evolutions. But AGH. What to do?
Well i can tell you one thing. If you want to not look at info you better decide soon and have strong feelings as to why. Because its not as simple closing your eyes to block the info, you know you will be dying inside knowing we have info and you dont have anything. But if you really want to go nobody is stopping you. But how much will it be better?
Whats the difference between being shown the pokemon before it comes out in games, and seeing it in game? I mean youre still gonna see it anyway, so why does it matter?
Also my biggest of doing this (and this maybe just be paranoia) is GF is getting more “creative” with evolution methods. Example, how is an 8 year old supposed to know how to evolve inkay. People dont just randomly flip their 3ds at level 30. And if an npc says it, its like one out of hundreds. So i am scared im gonna go the whole game not knowing how to evolve a teammate. Heck, you cant even tell which pokemon are stone evos or not.
But hey those are just my 2 cents you gotta decide for yourself
You have a good point about inkay and I’ve thought about that before. My point to combat that is that I always have the ability to look it up when it’s not evolving. But i think I can keep looking at news as long as every single Pokemon isn’t spoiled and as few evolutions as possible are shown. Agh. I know I won’t be able to stop myself til November. Regardless though I will have a good time.
That’s how I was with Diamond and Sapphire. I just picked the one I wanted based on box art. I didn’t want anything spoiled. It truly was an adventure. And then I discovered the Internet and Gen 5 and 6 were pretty much spoiled.
Yeah box art and version exclusives are what set me apart
The only exception is with sun and Moon. I wanted Moon but my sister recently got into Pokémon and she also wanted Moon. So I’m going with Sun, just because there’s no reason to have the same game
So glad to hear that this is continuing 🙂 really needed to hear this after the sleepless night I just had
Oh well, you win some, you lose some
As for what might be talked about, I’m definitely leaning towards Iwanko and Nekkoala finally being talked about. Maybe evil team or gym leaders. Some new Pokemon potentially.
The thing I like about this new kinda reveal they’re doing, is that the reveal of stuff has been coming at a steady pace.
I mean now that I think about, if they had revealed all officially about Iwanko & Nekkoala, we would have been totally starved of info for hypothetically another month until Corocoro
Hopefully they will reveal them now & maybe a lil bit more story info in general (as in maybe one or two new characters and possibly the evil team – but I would prefer if we knew little about them until the actual game)
I like receiving info little by little like this. It’s enough to keep fans interested and not ruin the whole games before we buy them. I mean we only have about five months left, so they should continue to keep info to a minimum. I wouldn’t mind getting the new teams name and silhouettes of them (just an example.) MORE TEASES PLEASE.
Okay so it’s just a week away! Awesome i love this method it really hypes up more than corocoro! Now im off to find something to do so that this week goesby faster lel
Still a week is pretty long
Luckily I got Exploers of Sky and the new Season of Race to the Edge
Right now im thinking of replaying platinum or black or heartgold or simply watching netflix, although im waiting for fallout 4 mods to be released on ps4 too
You should look for a cheap copy of Fallout 3,
Those special editions are like 25 bucks and have all DLCs in them already
This Steam summer’s sale really isn’t healthy for my bank account lol.
okay guys I got the Time for the world hobby Fair:25 June, 2016 – 26 June, 2016
9:00am-16:00pm,Best part for japan gamers: Admission is free!
I’ve been liking this way of announcing news! I like knowing exactly when to obsessively refresh serebii lol.
$10 that the first gym is grass. It hasn’t been done before and 2 of the starters are strong to it. Grass also has a lot of weaknesses so I think it’d be a good first gym, moreso than rock. Wouldn’t mind normal again I guess though.
I say Ground
Hm..that could work too. I just think grass would be the best because bug and flying are also available early on in every region.
My rebuttal
Ground is fine since all three types can damage it
It is decent for regional bugs and flying types to resist
Only one fear and it is Fire
Perfect for young players
Yeah that’d be cool. I hope we get another ground gym though, whether it’s first or last in sequence.
Wouldn’t mind a Grass gym being first :3
Lol what if the first gym was dragon
oh boy, 2 op 4 me pls ban
‘Hey welcome to your first gym! You just started your journey and you think everything’s so fun and happy! Well, guess what, the first gym is Dragon and Dragon Rage is 2 OP….so have fun! You can do it!’
*Disarming Voice*
Disarming Voice most likely wouldn’t OHKO or even 2 hit KO since it’s a low power non-STAB move, while Dragon Rage deals more than half damage. SO you still would struggle a bit
Considering it’s the first gym, wouldn’t the pokemon be low level anyways? Moves take more damage at lower levels
First Gym should be Fairy
Nahhhh
yeah i can see that happening
If you chose oshawott in bw it has been done before lel but having a full grass type gym as the first would be awesome, but i think it will be normal because we have yungoos pikipek confirmed as early pokemon and nekkoala probably is one aswell so i can see a gym where trainers have teams revolving on those three pokemon but to be honest normal type gyms are boring
the dog pokemon also looks like a first route pokemon and the koala looks like route 4-5 pokemon
Yeah i can also see the koala being found in the early forest that seems to be behind the platform where you choose your starter
Yeah but I consider the Striaton gym to be more miscellaneous than anything. The trainers have normal types and the only other types are the monkeys and a purloin.
First gym should be semi challenging. I would love to see fairy or steel be the first gym for a change but I doubt it will happen
Wow. Is GameFreak & Nintendo just ignoring CoroCoro? There giving us gameplay dates and I don’t think my heart could take much more. I’m expecting to see a few more new Pokemon, one Gym Leader, a few new areas, and maybe information on the bracelet. GameFreak is killing it with the news!
I am really liking this.. Good job Game Freak!
I really like how they keep telling us when we will get news. It keeps my hype up, knowing that I’ll get news soon. Plus, we get to know when we’ll get news fairly soon after the last announcement.
As for what I think it could be, I think it might be time that we get the evil team, and maybe another prominent character. Other than that, I think that we will get Iwanko and Nekkoala in the new trailers.
I actually dislike it because you know exactly how long to wait. Back when we got surprise updates I could push it to the back of my mind, but now the anticipation kills me.
I like it because I know when to get my hype up, rather than lose hope that we will get any soon.
Also, I’m sad to say that I think this means no news at the world hobby fair.
GameFreak/The Pokemon Company promised that Junichi Masuda will be playing through a part of Pokemon Sun & Moon. I’m assuming that it might be the Treehouse Demo again or they will be playing through an entirely new part of the game. Yet, it’s going to be another case of live gameplay, so there is opportunities for us to get new news!
well let’s cross our fingers Masuda will give us some good game play here.
If they do the same thing, the only way we will get new news is if they pick a different starter to see if Hau has something good against you.
And with that we might also see Litten’s/Rowlet’s level up move that corresponds to Popplio’s Disarming Voice.
If Litten gets sand attack I’m going to lose my s**t
Probably bite regardless of second type.
Based on other cat Pokemon, I’m going to bet that it’ll learn either Fury Swipes, Fake Out, or Pursuit.
Assist
I really hope we can get a Gold/Silver Pokemon Origins. That would makes me insanely happy. Especially if we can get a half-episode long battle against Red
OH MY GOD YESSSS PLEASE
Just imagine Red flying on Charizard as Gold attacks on top of Lugia. Aeroblast hits and sends Charizard falling towards the ground.
I love it
Pokemon origins was the best pokemon anime they have ever created, did you watch the english version? I always wondered if they censored out the use of the word bastard but keep forgetting to check
Yeah, they definitely did. What was the context?
if I remember correctly it was an exchange between a protagonist character and team rocket in lavender town
Because of this comment I finally got around to watching Origins, and it was so much better than I expected. I need a Gold/Silver series now.
They just released the recap trailer we got at E3 before the demo on YouTube. I freaked out when I got a new trailer in my subscriber feed, but it was nothing. xD
