Pokénchi Trailer Teases Pokémon Sun & Moon Reveal

A new trailer for the weekly Pokémon variety show Pokénchi has revealed that the show will be going to Game Freak’s HQ and revealing something new about Pokémon Sun and Moon, due this November for the Nintendo 3DS!

Certainly fun to see the modeling software they use to create the games 🙂

  1. Hey guys, I’m a lurker here, almost never commented, but I had an idea for a Pokémon and I just thought I should share it with you and see if it would be accepted xD This Pokémon would be a Fire/Grass (I know, fan service > . >) Big and fat, tribal-like koala which would -strangely- be a mix between Papu-Papu from Crash Bandicoot and that tribal skin from Overwatch’s Roadhog, and I also took Nekkoala’s design as a basis for a would-be first stage (assuming it were a grass type); as it evolved, it would grow just a tad bit bigger, it would get some red markings on it’s body – like tribal body paint, it’s little log would turn into a little drum which it would often play with, it would have a leaf skirt around it’s waist and a wooden mask that would cover it’s eyes, giving it kind of a serious expression (oh, and it’s belly starts to grow xD). Using some kind of fire item (like a Fire Stone or a Mask of Fire or whatever), it would grow more than double the size, it’s mask would now take the shape of a serious koala-like figure all over it’s face with colored feathers at the top, it’s red markings would now be bigger around his now big, gray belly, just like his skirt, and it’s drum would now have a hole underneat which he would lift over his shoulder and use to throw fireballs at it’s enemies! So, what do you guys think? Does this have the potential to be a Pokémon or a horrible, horrible fever dream? Thanks y’all 😀

  2. I think the reveal on July 1st will be the official announcement for Iwanko and Nekkoala. There may be a few other things along with that too but I’m hoping for gameplay of Nekkoala and Iwanko. Plus any new gameplay at all (to me at least) is enough to keep me satisfied for a while. I do find it strange though… I wonder why even though Corocoro released Nekkoala and Iwanko almost two weeks ago they haven’t been officially announced through official Sun and Moon websites or by Pokémon in genral. I find it odd but intriguing at the same time. Well anyways… I’m hyped for July 1st and can’t wait to see what’s revealed!!

        • I know I’m just setting myself up for disappointment, but if they use Ash again in the new season as a protagonist, I’m going to get really angry. 😀

          Reply
          • Why would we get a new protagonist? Ash is based off Red. We’re never getting a new protagonist lol. Not sure why some people even have this idea.

            Ash wont disappear, and Pikachu will never evolve. The only two certainties in the anime.

          • Not true since XY started they have new writers that might change things the second Kalos league episode is called Mega Sceptile v.s. Raichu I Recieved some EXP! which means possible speculation on evolution and i’m hoping for it this
            He loses League, Team Flare arch, Serena expresses feelings, Sun & Moon is Ash, Serena, and a male new trainer that catches Popplio.

          • That’s good I was not looking forward to pikachu being gone and off my predictions why I want a Male trainor to join him its always been a new female trainer joining him mix it up a little!

          • What?! Think after Misty it goes May (New on journey), Dawn (New on her Journey), Iris (Primarily new on journey), Serena (New on Journey) Spice it up with a new male trainer and not a Female!

    • Meh i dont care for the anime that much and the leagues are boring they are just montages of ash and other random trainers fighting until the semifinals/finals where ash loses to a trainer with a trump card and from what ive seen so far ash will probably lose because he will faint while being synchronized with greninja

      Reply
        • i’m still hoping he loses because then they might make him to cocky and then if that happens I hope he gets knocked down a peg in the arch by Team Flare

          Reply
          • Yet actually i’m just hoping this season ends soon and for Sun and Moon I hope he is back and he will bring Serena and get a new male trainer to join him!

  4. I feel I should express my feelings towards the anime by saying i like the old ones better because with the new writers then have put Ash’s team as the first team to fully evolve focusing more on physical strangth than mental as before because have you ever seen a Totodile or a Buizle do things like Ash’s Pokemon its because Pokemon isn’t teaching you how to lose it’s teaching you to be mentally strong and to unlock your true potential in your on special way yet now he is showing how he has matured and gotten physically and mentally strong so i think he should still lose the Kalos league to still show the mental strength!

    • I’m thinking for them to satisfy us 2 3 or 4 new Pokemon a gym some town and city names and possibly starter evolutions and Iwanko and Nekkoala names!

  5. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since the XY days, it’s to not put too much weight onto the Pokemon Sunday shows, regardless of names.
    Might be what we get at July 1st but shot at a different way, maybe not. Maybe new stuff, maybe not.
    Team Neutral :3

  6. This is coming from Pokenchi. We’re going to see the new Pokemon or whatever on July 1st. There would virtually be no new information coming from them. It’s not Pokemon Sunday!

  8. Well, guys. With the end of Gravity Falls in February and Wander Over Yonder coming to an end tonight, there’s just one more Disney XD show left (Star) before Disney XD plunges into another pre-Gravity Falls era.

    Reply
      • By pre-GF I mean that before GF, there weren’t any good cartoons on Disney XD until GF started. Then Star and Wander came along during GF time. Now they’re gonna end and we won’t have cartoons. That’s what I mean by Pre-GF.

    • At least we still have Steven Universe on CN. If you haven’t seen it before though, Over The Garden Wall is a fantastic mini series

      Reply
          • That changes. . . Nothing.
            That’s like putting a penis in the show and the artist saying it was on purpose.. and everyone going … Oh.. ok.
            So once again.. if it’s propaganda or not was the topic at hand.. I say it is.. you say not..

          • … But its for fun. It is telling kids to join the illuminati or something like that. The show is well made and cleverly written. But whatever.

          • It’s not for fun to me and many others who don’t approve. If it’s just for fun or not varies based on perspective. Also I thought it over all sucked from point a to b when I gave it a chance around the start.. so it all depends on who you ask.. not what you think.

          • But you can also admit when something is well-made and a good show even if you don’t like it/care for it.
            I don’t care for GoT or TWD but people like it, it looks like a cool show that’s well-made. It’s just not for me.
            I’ve never been interested in Gravity either, but from what I can see, it looks like a good show that likes to create puzzles for their viewers.
            Point is, you can agree on it being a ‘good’ show without actually liking it. :3

          • Point is. .. I can… But I’ve already admitting to watching a few episodes and Hating it.. from the art.. to the voices.. to the characters to the plot.. it all left me physically ill after an hour or two of watching it. It’s a mix of everything I personally don’t like in a show.
            It feels so try hard to me.
            I also feel over the garden wall or whatever is full of esoteric meanings but I can’t deny I like it.. Kind of want to watch it again.. though again.. it’s over all meaning is really iffy to me

          • True, but also realizing that a good amount of people liking it means it does do something right. If it didn’t, no one would be watching it :3
            But I know how you feel. Dexter was like that to me. I liked the first season, but the couple of episodes in the second one just didn’t have that same feeling so I stopped watching it. But it has its fans so I can’t diss it too hard. 🙂

          • I guess I can understand if it isn’t for you. You get used to the voices though and the first season is kind of just to set up the characters and town and stuff like that. The second season is when it gets really good. But to each their own

          • And yes I can accept that.
            It’s been on for years now, I’m sure it’s gotten better.
            It’s just the first season and my own personal beliefs stop me from further watching.
            That and I no longer have cable.. lol

        • Yeah. . . If you read all the other comments in this long discussion, you would see that’s the conclusion we all arrived to.

          We all only have opinions 😀

    • GRAVITY FALLS IS LIFE.

      It’s the only good disney show in my opinion. It’s the only good CARTOON (besides rick and morty) of this generation of cartoons.

  9. alright guys so far we got some cool information on Pokemon Sun and Moon,now we need to figure out what new electrical rodent is going to be in this 7th generation of Pokemon,for starters StarStorm came up with a cool idea for an electric chipmunk,so if anybody has any other ideas lay them on me! 😀

  10. I have actually finally gotten a break from Stardew Valley today. I bought it a couple days ago and haven’t been able to stop since. I love it. It makes me wish that the towns in pokemon felt more like communities like they do in SV. Having NPCs that actually have realistic dialogue (instead of saying how awesome ice heals are or something) and maybe even have schedules would be really cool

    Reply
  11. Predictions of the information on July 1st and a minor nitpick about S/M:
    – The First Gym Leader will be revealed.
    – Iwanko and Nekkoala will be official revealed by the Pokemon Company.
    – 3 to 5 new Pokemon will be shown.
    – A few new areas of Alola will be showcased.
    – The Grunts of the Evil Organization will be officially revealed as well.

    Lastly, my minor nitpick of S/M is the walking animation of the male trainer. I found a hilarious comment on Youtube which said that “he walks like he has no elbows”. Obviously, the game is still in development, but I hope GameFreak fixes it. His walk cycle is rather unnatural, but they got the running animation down.

  12. Why I’m most happy about these games. .?
    Is because even if they realize they’ve bitten off more than they can chew, they still have to work with and improve off of their last project.
    Meaning the next games to come out Must look better than sun and moon and in no way downgrade.. . Hopefully even on a new handheld system.
    Can you imagine the Unova region with Sun and move graphics?
    And eventually Kanto I’m sure.. but delayed due to the 2D remakes..
    Can’t wait! ?

  13. Am I the only one who wishes they would do away with the recurring electric rodents? I hate them all, even if they’re cute. I have an emolga right now in B/W and it is such a useless waste of space.

    Reply
    • Lol.. no.. they always have a regional bird.. electric rodent.. early bug.. and of course starters and legends and a semi legend.
      Do I wish they would make all of these better.. yes

      Reply
    • I like the concept, but I believe they could change things up a bit. Maybe keep the resemblance to Pikachu, but don’t limit it just to rodents, and change up the type?

      Reply
    • I just wish they were stronger and could evolve like Pikachu can, but no, I don’t mind them. They all have cute designs :3

      Reply
    • Personally I think they should do away with the early route bird, rodent, bug and the pikachu clone as they all end up useless anyway.

      Reply
    • if all pokemon were these crazy strong beings then the games would be pretty boring imo, I never understood why people dismissed pokemon with lower stats and similar designs to other pokemon, when they are so necessary for the world building in pokemon. Just like in the real world they kind of represent sub species in a way of the same pokemon. its not like you have to use them after all so there is no harm in them being there.

  14. Sun and moon is still months away and ash and greninja only just perfected their bond.
    I smell another season of XYZ.
    Meaning Ash can catch another pokemon and it not be a waste.
    Plus Noivern hasn’t even been in a gym battle, meaning it needs more screen time than just league .

    Reply
    • The league will take around 2 months, taking us up to September, that leaves them them a couple of months to do a Team Flare Arc right before Sun and Moon are released, followed by the new anime saga in Alola.

  15. I hate to say that as big a Pokemon fan as I am, I’ve never actually sat down and watched any of the anime, save for a few of the movies. But I decided to change that and so far I’m 27 episodes into the Indigo League, and so far I’m loving it. Only about 900 episodes to go if my calculations are correct! 😉

    Reply
    • I might sit down in watch it if I can ever finish Homestuck. I’ve seen a few episodes passively but Ash is such a frustrating character that I’m not sure if I should or not

      Reply
      • I agree, Ash is really irritating. But for Season 1 at least, Brock and Misty distract a bit from that and provide a nice balance.

        Reply
        • Ash is a class A tool in the earlier seasons. However, he has become a very good trainer in the Kalos seasons and imho XYZ is by far the best season of all.

          Reply
    • I stopped watching when I was young, around Hoenn I believe. It was never my cup of tea.
      However, the early movies are pretty great, so I don’t mind watching them every now and again.
      I’m content with being a Pokemon fan that doesn’t enjoy the anime apart from the early movies.

      Reply
    • Well that should be like….. 330+ hours
      Which should systematically dissolve your mind into a molten pile of slag

      Reply
      • If I watch them at 2x speed though (which is what I’m doing) that’s 165 hours. Still not great, but it’s more doable.

        Reply
    • I don’t want to sound nostalgia blind here, but I think the only anime worth watching is the first few seasons. Call me a genwunner, but it really just gets repetitive after that.

      Reply
      • Johto and Kanto, in my opinion are garbage. Brock and Misty are terrible compared to other companions, they’re really just bystanders. Ash releasing Pokemon is annoying and the worst part is the battles. Go back and watch all of Kanto’s gym battles. Blaine is the only one that was an actual battle..

        Reply
      • July 3rd and July 1st more news is coming as we all know. Here are my REASONABLE thoughts.

        At the least:
        2 new Pokemon
        A bit more of alola shown
        Possibly Starter evolutions
        Official reveal of iwanko and nekkoala

        At the most:
        3-4 new Pokemon
        A bit more of alola shown
        First gym leader maybe second ,too
        The evil team(s)
        Official reveal of iwanko and nekkoala and their American names
        Stater evolutions
        A bit more on Pikipek, grubbin, and yungoos
        Maybe some more gameplay

        Although I would trade all of this in for just new Pokemon and starter evos, that’s not gonna happen.

        Do you think I’m right?

        Reply
    • It’s better to just Watch Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos.
      Kanto is really bad, Johto is 90℅ filler, while Unova is utter crap

  16. 2 1/2 hours into the OOT water temple and I just found out that I’m missing ONE SMALL KEY. I have the compass, yet the whole water level mechanic confuses me. I remember it being so much easier than it is for me this time.

    • I wish he would be elaborated what he meant my a reboot. If he means that old Pokemon will no longer be in new games, I very much am against this possibility.

      Reply
      • Yeah I think this video is cool because of the connections he presents rather than the conclusion he makes with them honestly :/

        Reply
        • See. I think they are overthinking way too much. Pokemon has always taken inspiration from tons of sources but never too much inspiration. If yveltal, Xerneas, and zygarde are indeed based on Norse mythology. Their duties (in relation to the gods they represent) and their appearance are about all that they took inspiration from. gamefreak wants their games to have their own lore that is honestly pretty uncomplicated. There’s some major ideas like time, space, a godlike creature, etc. but they don’t run too deep in their wells of inspiration. These games are for kids after all. Not saying they are half assing anything or that there can’t be a deeper intended meaning to their lore, but honestly, why put that much thought into these games when you never elaborate and divulge that info. And I mean a lot of thought. Of course there should be some lore, but to go all the way back to that snorlax guy, to have very philosophical thoughts on battling because of a tome, tying in Hindu (or Hebrew? Can’t remember what he said) and Norse beyond the basic connections, etc. that’s quite a bit of real world stuff to complicate their fictional lore, and of course that’s a long time planning these revive like stones.

    • I honestly think that he is overthinking a lot of it. I mean, a lot of it will tie in and stuff but I don’t think this is the end… But the alchemy stuff really gets me intrigued…

      Reply
    • This was very cringey to watch, like I get its tryna be fun but urgh, haha
      A lot of stuff discussed was in the Gamexplain videos

      They also mentioned Greeks, Egyptians, Norse, Hinduism, Buddhism & Hawaiian context. A lot of things for one game, so idk how much they’re stretching. I mean you can look at so many cultures & religions and see that there’s a lot of common things between them, doesn’t mean they’re connected however

      The whole reboot tho…how would that do anything tbh? Just start afresh with gen 8? People complain about too many Pokemon…but that’s what a reboot would add, no? I’d like to see it more as an arc, as in some games are connected, but not all. Then starting with Gen 8, there’ll be a new arc.

      It was a good theory video, don’t get me wrong (the overacting didn’t help the validity of it & neither did the whole conversation aspect of it imo) but at times, it did seem like they were stretching (I mean revives aren’t blue & also would they have a even legendary so essential to a plot ? – That’s my qualm with Magearna in theory videos)
