A new trailer for Pokémon Sun & Moon was shown during Hong Kong’s Pokémon National Championships and was recorded by a fan. It featured the newly revealed Rockruff and Komala in battle with their animations and also showed two Kanto Pokémon, Arcanine and Electabuzz, which may be available to capture in Alola.
I have to say, these two new Pokémon are quite adorable!

FEATURED DISCUSSION: PokéScribbles!
From gens 1-6, who would be the best mon to skill swap comatose onto?
Hmmmmmm I guess……any super high physical attacker
Snorlax
bidoof
Little ol’ Doofers
Did that pokechi thingy already air?
Yep, it was just the little scene with Rockruff and the professor
oh really? and the big question marks on the piece of paper and computer screen than?
I’m not sure about that but my guess it that it was Rockruff/Komala
it probably was yeah haha
Tapu Koko was on the piece of paper, and I think Rockruff was on the computer screen.
Gotta love Pokenchi. They show less than whatever leaks 😀
Concept for a Cutiefly evolution. I’m not good with pokemon names so I just called it Angelfly. It would retain its Bug/Fairy typing. Angelfly would have mixed defenses and a decently high speed stat. It would have access to alot of status moves such as Recover, Heal Bell, Heal Pulse, ThunderWave, Sweet Kiss and Protect.

I’m glad you feel that way :3
That thing needs to die
Oh it will…. in the heat death of the universe
…..or by Excadrill’s Iron Head
I’d go with the heat death
BUUUUUUUT my hyper creativity sparks
Keep the body structure
Make the eyes extremely glossy and anime and have three long eyelashes each with a golden dew at the tip
A fluffy scarf that stretches all the way down its back
I say the wings are ok for now but spread them out
And the proboscis long like really long
And lastly the limbs ehhh the wirey ones work
I forgot to mention in last video with Drampa, ect. that they show a temple with Tapu Koko and a Litten at Lv. 60?
I wouldn’t play too hard on that it just might mean you can’t actually battle Tapu til later
Sounds reasonable enough.
That’s how it should be. As much as I love Tapu Koko and want him on my team, giving legendaries away before the end game is just stupid.
True true
I want him beaten to death with his own arms
Its weak against you, plus its a fairy.
All the more reason I want it to die
It’s probably going to have Energy Ball or Surf or something to counter ground types easily instead of them being the bane of its existence
Yeah I really don’t like it either.
I don’t understand how Komala can be affected by sleep status…it’s already “asleep” when you send it into battle. So you can put it in double sleep? That doesn’t make any sense.
I was thinking that would be in SLP status forever, but I guess they decided free powered-up Facade was too broken..?
Does Facade work like that with comatose though?
Sleep is a status condition so yeah. People use self inflicted statuses like flame orb and/or toxic orb
Facade works with any non-volatile status in general, and that includes Sleep.
What isn’t confirmed yet is if it’s counted as asleep while “awake”.
So Facade doesn’t necessarily directly work with the Comatose ability, but I’m guessing people will think of Sleep Talk strategies with this. (It is unconfirmed if Comatose ability lets us pick the move we want while asleep and still have it work, but I guess that’s a bit OP.)
i don’t think its asleep, it just has its eyes closed, more of a drowsy state
But the dex entry states no one has ever seen it awake. “It eats, travels, and even battles while sound asleep!” I really think they shot themselves in the foot on this one, or just did a piss poor job of explaining it.
more so bad job at explaining it I would say
They should’ve just made it this: “Comatose: This pokemon cannot be put under the sleep condition. Sleep related moves are able to be used from the start of the battle. (Sleep talk, snore, etc.)”
1) It doesn’t make sense that you can’t burn, paralyze, or freeze it…it’s only asleep, it’s not like it has a forcefield
2) IT’S ALREADY ASLEEP
Gamefreak….ugh..
idk it made sense to me :/
it can only have one status affliction at a time, and if its already asleep or even half asleep or in a sleep state then nothing else can effect it
But it is already asleep…….it always and forever will be asleep
yeah, so whats not to get?… think of it this way, it may be asleep but it can attack in its sleep perhaps, like sleep walking of sorts, and the sleep status affliction would just put it deeper into a sleep so that it couldn’t use normal attacks anymore
That still doesn’t explain why you can’t at least freeze it. How can it attack while its body can’t move?
Not everything in Pokémon makes perfect sense. Remember it’s brain activity and vital bodily functions are still active
Well yes, but I think they needed to be more careful with this one.
Maybe the the whole deeper sleep thing is analogous to deep meditation?
Perhaps. Maybe its evolution will clear things up.
idk dude thats up to you, 😛 I have no problem with it, don’t hurt yourself trying to explain it XD
It just bothers me. If you’re going to make it constantly asleep, you need to explain it better.
╮(─▽─)╭
Disregard my response from above.
We’ll, the ability is comatose, so I’m guessing that it’s appearance is asleep but it’s brain activity and vital bodily functions are still active.
This supports @EarthenWarrior hypothesis about it evolving to Normal/Psychic
Yeah evolving into psychic is pretty obvious, it just doesn’t make sense how you can put something that’s asleep to sleep again. A deeper sleep doesn’t make sense either.
Narkoala
A dream within a dream, it exists.
Okay but I don’t think this is inception or what they were going for.
I just wish we get an English clip for Komala so we can see even a glimpse of its ability in action. That way we can know sorta what it does.
Cause right now, I’m just really confused like you are
They’re contradicting themselves and it’s bothering me.
I thought it was drowsy upon sending out?
It’s like an even deeper sleep than it’s already in.
Like inception
So when it wakes up during battle it just goes back to regular sleep? That’s just dumb and nonsensical.
its not really a hard concept to grasp tbh
It goes deeper into SLEEP I never said it wakes up it goes even deeper sleep than already where it can’t sense its surroundings
Komala is just like a sleepwalker. It is indeed asleep, but it can function regardless. Don’t overthink this or you’ll ruin all the fun.
What starter do you you think is gonna be Ash’s in the anime. Since we had a water overdose, I think he’s having the cat this time.
As long as he brings that overpowered ninja frog with him, I dont really care which starter he gets lol.
Ash leaving Greninja behind will be the dumbest thing ever (because we all know it will happen). There’s a Pokémon that bonded with Ash this much, the description even said that their bond reached the maximum or something like that and then he leaves his most powerful Pokémon at Oak… That doesn’t make any sense especially with Pikachu being ignored now for some time (to be honest I’m happy about that because I’m so tired of it) thanks to Greninja…
Watch him leave him at the Ninja Village to live up to be the defender of the land
I’d go and outright kill Ash myself. Greninja has a big role to fulfill in the anime. He has to teach the Synchro Evolution mechanic to every other Pokémon.
You do realize this is a Greninja thing right?
Of course. I’m not saying that it’ll be introduced in the games. I admit that I quite like this Pokémon looking like its trainer thing but it’s not going to happen anytime soon and it’s really just an alternative to give Ash something cool without handing him a mega.
EDIT: That being said, how the heck will Greninja mega evolve in the future? It’s not like that this form makes it impossible, but it’ll be strange. I mean, they could’ve introduced Mega Greninja instead of this thing.
His Charizard, Infernape, Sceptile, Snorelax, Heracross, Krokadile, Swellow, Torterra, Staraptor, Donphan, and Gliscore were all his best and he left them behind I think it’s for the best to leave all of them from Kalos at the lab.
It’s not about power. The Synchro thing is a proof of their bond that surpasses limits or something like that. I don’t think that Ash ever had a bond this strong with any of his Pokémon (excluding Pikachu) so leaving Greninja behind is a somewhat dumb thing. I mean… I mean… You have a chance to travel to a far away country of your choice and you are allowed to take your best friend with you, would you leave him/her behind? I’m talking about the so called “strength” of their bond. If Greninja’s really that important to him then he wouldn’t go to Alola without it.
I think of what I’ve heard he gives them a break yet I don’t think Kingler who was in only about two battles and left out of 17 seasons needs a break
honestly I can only see him with Popplio or Rowlet, they always give the most feminine looking starter to the female companion of his, in recent seasons, so I feel like litten is off the table for him
Litten really doesn’t look feminine though. It’s sleek, but not girly.
its the most feminine one of the three, and remember this is a japanese thing, and the japanese tend to always see kittens/cats as feminine so they will most assuredly give litten to whatever female he travels with
Meh, I think they’re all pretty gender-neutral compared to other regions. I doubt he’ll get Rowlet though, he always has the regional bird.
also I didn’t say girly, I said feminine theres a huge difference
Not to major companies
Oh, I don’t think so. Based on the game trailers the cat seems to be the one too cool for school. It is like the snivy and treecko of this generation, but fire type. On the other hand Ash did already have two funny waters too recently, i don’t think he’s gonna have a third one so soon.
Yeah, that’s a good way to explain it. He’s like Snivy/Treecko. Also, Snivy was the “feminine” one of Unova and he had that 😉
that is true, but he also had all three starters in that region, I don’t think that will happen again in the S/M anime
Definitely not. It’s kinda overkill
yeah and it was a bit of a fluke in Johto and Unova when he did have all three, because he had to catch them, and I don’t want to see him have all 3 personally because it would be boring and take up room in his team for some other cool pokemon in the region, I think there are a lot of things the anime should mix up but like, its never really been of great quality programming to begin with 😛
I think the Kanto journey is pretty good (despite him being handed gym badges) but that might be because I grew up with it and have a special place for it in my heart. I would like to see him have an electric type that’s not pikachu though…. :/
honestly I think they could redo the whole anime and get rid of him as the protagonist and everything and make a great anime, sort of like a combination of origins and the current anime, and with each new generation they could follow a different one of the protagonists from the games and have a female lead for half and male for the other (female though for S/M because the male looks too generic) also to do away with ash’s terrible training skills, like I’m not saying all his pokemon should evolve but, at this point it seems like he only ever evolves like two of them, the bird and the starter he gets
I wish there would be an ongoing series that followed Red. I really enjoyed Origins. I know Red and Ash are *similar*, but Ash’s story follows similar beats. At least we have the manga I guess
I disagree with it being the cool one, but thats subjective so its not important, but idk I still think that the japanese will give the cat to the female character, it just seems too much like something they would do, but honestly my money is on Rowlet
You really think rowlet and poplio beat litten in a cool contest?
Rowlett is cute
Litten is cool
And poplio is silly/fun
yeah but like I said its subjective so like, me not thinking its cool doesn’t mean I don’t think others should find it cool, its just not my style idk 😛 but maybe its evolution will change my mind, who knows
I only want two things out of it
1. Bring back him always catching the Grass starter until Kalos every region he had it!!!!!
2. Bring a new Male companion to spice it up it’s annoying we have to have a new female every season that somehow is just starting her journey with the fire (excluding dawn with Piplup) starter!!!!
Litten. He’ll probably get Pikipek so that rules out Rowlet in my opinion.. perhaps Litten and Popplio
I feel like Popplio is a guarantee.. He has that Oshawott personality and work ethic but seemingly sweeter and more naive
If not it will go to the girl to be a performer.. and he will get Litten.
I hope he gets for a team so far
Pikachu
Pikipek
Rowlet (only to get his legacy of choosing grass always back)
Litten
Rockruff
A water of some kind not Bruxish
Male trainer I want to go with him
Popplio
Yungoos
Serena
Braxen
Pancham
Sylveon
Cutiefly
So I present a challenge
Which Pokemon has the most eyeballs
thats easy, eggsecute
Clever but who’s next if we’re a single entity
regigagas
Actually no there’s one more (and those red grey and blue don’t count)
combee? idk if you consider that one pokemon or not
Claydol
righttt
8 eyes
How many does Probopass have?
two, I don’t think the ones on its little hand things are actually eyes
Cuz those would be six more.
The mini noses though have eye shapped markings but they do not serve as functional eyes
I’m talking working eyeballs
Don’t worry, bacteria utilize iron a the time lol it will disintegrate in no time
I feel disappointed now since claydol is my fav ground type and I completely forgot about its many eyes, derp
I should execute you for your forgetfulness
nah, just goes to show how much I like ground types when I forget about my favourite ;P the only 3 I actually like are sandshrew, sandslash, and claydol (that I can remember)
……..*Pulls out a giant great axe and hacks you to pieces*
*regenerates and skips away into the flower field full of fairies who will feast on your soul if you follow*
It’s an iron axe
this aint supernatural, and if it was… iron doesn’t kill fairies
I understood that reference
I find it actually super cool that the fae are always seen as weak in most cases, yet in supernatural and other forms of art they have the least weaknesses and are super hard to kill 😉
Still it’s a fucking axe
Weilded by me no doubt so obviously I can dish out some major damage
bring it dirt boy ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)
KK
*Casts Earth Grip*
*earth sinks around your feet and grasps your ankles*
There are some other ground types that are likable 😛
yeah, I just forget their existence or rather that they are ground types, like I also love quagsire, krookodile, and cubbone but I forget that they are ground types
This reminds of another Ground Fakemon
What my goal for this one is to create a living, walking Earthquake but how to do so is the question
Either a turtle with shifted plates in its shell, or a floating earth core that pulses with seismic pulses
This is probably wrong but Galvantula?
One of the Regi.
Giratina.
His little reality bubble things from Sky Warrior are his “eyes” into our dimension
Can we all just take a moment and ask ourselves… why tf does the move hold hands exist
To trick your opponent into letting its guard down and when the moment arises you disembowel them
clearly thats it
Cause reasons.
To, uh, “entice” people getting an event pokemon? Idk, I guess similar to why shiny legendaries were distributed, because they were special. Except…a move that does nothing isn’t really special.
Like I said a ruse to get close enough for a swift Disemboweling or evisceration maybe a few lacerations
right, like why have even it
hello gamer it’s time for a new topic called ALola ALola! alright guys this topic is all about the Aloha region,which means we need to figure out what will be the names for the remaining three islands of aloha,so anybody got any ideas?
I’m thinking, based on something that other people have proposed, that the other islands are named after the Hawaiian names for Red, Blue, and Green (forgot what they are called), in order to pay homage to the 1st gen games, RBY (plus Green)
i think:
Red-ʻulaʻula
Bule-Polū
Green-ʻōmaʻomaʻo
that’s my guess.
I think those were the names they used, except without the ‘s
oh. o_o
Yeah, like Ulaula, Polu, and Omaoma from what I can see when I look it up.
Yeah ^v^
Also, each one of our main islands are assigned a specific color (see picture). Mele mele is based off of Oahu and its real-life assigned color is yellow. I’m a little confused though, looks like game freak combined Molokai, Lanai and Maui into one island. If each island is going to be named after it’s real-life assigned color, I wonder what that island will be called? I would say that the biggest island (where I’m from irl) is going to be called ula ula because it’s actually our island color and we have an active volcano, but the active volcano isn’t on the biggest island on the alola map… so I have know clue what’s going on with that… I guess all we can do for now is wait for official news!
Y ppl forgot about 5th island I mean the artificial one? , it could be have guardian too.
No, I didn’t forget, although I dunno what it would be called, to be honest. Maybe after grey?
But totally, I think Magearna is the guardian of that island, but who knows?
I think seeing as Magearna rolls up into ball, she is the bass of the totem pole being the guardian of the artificial island
Omg, the new proffesor looks like someone you would desperately do a name search hopefully to find his porn.
Oh my 😮
Oh my indeed o:
Or more like, you will easily find his porn if you “accidentally” type his name on the search bar.
IMO the official art doesn’t make him look too hot at least. Fan arts just… exaggerate… his stuff.
I want a Eyeye
Some kinda smallish monkey rodent with a gigantic pair of peepers
this name remind me of Aiai (sega character) http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/1/15/ASR_Aiai.png/revision/latest?cb=20100322215646
Actually I think Earther was referring to this animal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aye-aye
I know this animal but didn’t know he called like this , I think it’s kind of lemur.
Yeah, the spelling was weird. <3
Because its called an Aye aye
But the Pokemon would be called something like Eyeeye referring to its very large eyes
I can just tell Hala is a boss. But of what gym leader? Elite 4? Frontier brain? Champ? What do you guys think? And what type
I personally think he is an electric type gym leader
i going with fire or grass tbh
Does anybody have a shiny eevee they could trade?
Man komalas ability is just confusing (i get it but it takes a bit of explaining) but the footage is pretty good. This game looks more and more fun, but the more and more new pokemon i see the less and less i feel we will have 100+
Why? I’d feel the more they show, the more likely there is more.
XY didn’t necessarily show a lot of them, so that’s why I feel we might get more than 100 with SM
I made the edit i meant old pokemon sorry
oh ok 🙂
Well, I mean, it is a valid point, but I feel they haven’t shown too many old Pokemon, I dunno, that’s just me.
regarding to Komala ability. based on the trailer there was no status condition icon or next to his name nor animation so i believe that the way the ability work is that komala is awake when you send him out and he will be immune to every status except sleep
Komalas ability is confusing but I don’t really care because I have no plans on ever using it anyway. However, it’s nice to finally get a kowala Pokemon. Maybe next generation, we’ll get a region based on australia. That would be so cool
I’m hoping that to with a Platypus Pokemon I’ve been wanting to have a Wallaby, and a Kangaroo that isn’t so big it can’t even hop and isn’t a useless wannabe Kangaroo
Dojoey and Kickaroo
Normal/Fighting
I was thinking that too for the types
For platypus Water/Poison for a male Platypus has a poisonous spur on the hind foot that can kill a small dog
I am aware of that minor bonus but honest I just can’t see a Platypus being a full fledged Poison type
Maybe learning Poison Sting or Poison Jab somewhere in its line just to a nod to that detail but just not enough to be one
Like pure water or Normal/Water
That sounds good
And for a Wallaby I thought Grass because they are much more a Vibrant color than a Kangaroo so I thought why not make it a Light green color with some floral patterns on it.
Something like this?

A little just on the skin with flowers
For you Fire Emblem Awakening Fans, here’s Tharjabug.
http://braixxen.tumblr.com/post/146720232017/tharjabug
I was expecting Tharja’s face on Charjabug’s body. XD
So like Disney’s Tsum Tsum toys but with Tharja’s face…
I’m not sure if that’s… more attractive… than the other option. 😀
LF Hoopa? Anyone? Or a shiny eevee
I don’t know it’s exact legitimacy but I have a shiny eevee lvl 18 docile with adaptability. I got it traded to me a while(years) ago on Diamond. He goes to the Pokebank just fine though.
Would you be willing to trade with me, I don’t really know if i have any shinies i could give you though
Yeah of course. My FC is 113471270529. I’m good with anything you want to trade me 🙂
Thank you SO much, what’s your IGN?
Jackson
I just added you!
Mine is
Chris | 4828 5215 2415
Yay!!!
Are you free to trade now?
Yeah I am 🙂
ACTUALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU’RE A LIFESAVER
🙂 of course! Glad to help out!
Don’t trade a shiny. I will take whatever even a caterpie
I didn’t want to give you something bad
Hoopa with brace or serious?
Brave
Are you serious – idm
Yeah it’s the McDonald’s event one
It doesn’t have to be legendary lol just anything. I have 2 hoopas!
Oh then can i change
I am really loving the new pokemon revealed so far. favorites so far are rowlet rockruff and vikavolt for sure!!!! bruxish is my least favorite but it is growing on me some.
Vikavolt is awesome!! I agree that Bruxish is very derpy. I will give it a chance but I doubt it will ever grow on me. Basculin never did
I’m going to name my Vikavolt, X-Wing
I liked basculin but was disappointed it didnt get an evo. hoping bruxish might get one but i really doubt it will.
happy Fourth of July! I can’t wait to see what Pokemon sun and moon will bring us Next!:D
Happy 4th of July! I’m hoping for a big amount of bugs this generation: Spiny Orb Weaver, Silverfish, and an Assassin bug Pokemon would be nice
We do need some more bugs, hopefully we’ll get at least two more bugs
We only need more bugs if they’re useful. I don’t need some more Volbeats or Wormadams.
Prankster Volbeat! Plus, it dance hops lok
nah, i aint about that life of needing pokemon to be useful, never understood that myself as i often state, i don’t really give wormadam (see what i did there? ;P) about a pokemon’s stats, not everything needs to be powerful
Yeah that’s true but it’s just that I use those Pokémon less often. However, Vikavolt doesn’t have to be useful, it already had me with its design.
Yay!!!!!!!
I’m trying to come up for a pre-evolved form for my Normal/Rock Mountain Goat Precibex
Something either like Lilbex or somethings young pertaining to goats and mountains
Hmm never thought of a goat nice idea!
Thanks
It’s an obvious base on the Nubain Ibex
http://www.factzoo.com/sites/all/img/mammals/nubian-ibex.jpg
But with massive stone house horns
A very straightforward build of high speed and attack power but it’s real bread and butter is the combination of its ability Rock Head/Reckless and access to powerful recoil moves such as Double-Edge and Head Smash
For the horns, like this one, but without being fire type?
Well isn’t a baby goat a kid? You could go as simple as Rockid. Or Xebex. (I just started spelling it backwards like some Pokemon do and then made it a palindrome.)
Is that for Earthen?
Yeah sorry
Question: Do you guys think Core Enforcer is a special move? Or that Zygarde Complete is a mixed-attacker? I’m having trouble deciding on what Nature to get for Zygarde
So I just woke up and when I checked my phone I saw a youtube notification for a video on the japanese pokemon channel. When I click it, it’s a dumb ad for Pokenchi 😐
