New Japanese Pokémon Sun & Moon Commercial

by

A new Japanese commercial has been released for Pokémon Sun & Moon has been released and includes some interesting new details:

  • Eevee appears to be a wild Pokémon in Alola and, if the Pokéballs behind it on the Pokédex registration screen are correct, has no new evolutions
  • Amie-like feature makes a return, Pikachu is shown being groomed using a Porygon-2 style hairdryer
  • Tauros, Lapras, Sharpedo and Stoutland are all seen as being rideable/used for transporation
  • Some beautiful areas shown off, including volcanic one

  6. I’m astounded by how many new features on trailer showed. I want to learn how the bracelets will incorporated in terms of features. I’m assuming an official English trailer will release tomorrow Morning!

  7. Wow this trailer is actually epic. I hope lots of people from Pokemon GO come to the main games. That would be awesome…

  8. I was thinking if Pokemon go is gonna have some feature with Sun/Moon would that mean Gen 7 might be one of the first new editions?

  11. You guys how do I find all the new pokemon fan art? All I find is the older pokmeon revealed.. not the new quick pantings

  14. – Confirmed to have no new Eeveelution, sadly
    – Mimikkyu and Bear thing actually look good in-game
    – The powerful move thing seem to be type-dependant, rather than each Pokemon having their own special moves
    – Riding on Pokemon seem to be quite a pronounced feature
    – Surprised Amie’s actually returning, even more surprised that they’ve actually expanded on the idea. Good on Gamefreak.

  15. Maybe if Pokemon gets Big Again.. there will be another Animated Film in Theater in USA. And the kids here will experience what I experienced as a kid. ?

  20. Huzzah instead of fusion beings its fusion on feelings to make a stronger attack! Sweet. Though my hopes for this game is still fairly low, it does look better and better

  21. Upon closer inspection of the Tauros Route, I feel that we can dismount either anytime or trainers will stop you. Likely option 1. Those bystanders to me look like they’re in positions as regular trainers to battle! OMFG! I’m so excited! ? Also doesn’t appear to be a Riding Pokemon Sign when Tauros blazes past the route sign, indicating you can get on Pokemon anytime!

  24. You guys… the new trailer for the Movie Did show Ash and Greninja synching through movement before Greninja started to change

      • Yup I want it too that’s what I call advertising at its best GF knew everyone was gonna watch it even English speakers and also because it’s based on Hawaii but nice seeing they can sneak that in and make you want it

  29. No one’s bringing up the synergy stuff? Did you not see the dancing and the typing symbols and this image and all that?

  30. I kinda want to order the steel book but I want to see who gets what for bonuses first. Plus I get a discount at work and 10% cash back soooo…

  31. wow this looks awesome! im super hyped! did we ever figure out what Grababear’s ability fluffy does? or sheetkachu;s disguise?

  33. oooooh I love that bear! he,s super adorable and innocent yet scary and hes not only my favorite type, normal, but my second favorite type, fighting! he may just be a new personal favorite!

      • 4Chan guy that recently got laid off by European Nintendo or something so he/she decided to ‘leak’ info.
        So far, he’s got one thing correct (the synergy thing) but the rest is up to question for right now

        Reply

          • Not on me, sorry. I know someone posted the link on the previous article, but that might require some digging xD
            Lemme try to Google it for you

          • So, seems pretty interesting. Yet it feels like it’s trying to please fans…

            So probably fake. Although, I could be wrong…. But I do hope it is true (again, pleasing to fans). The only thing that dissapoints me is the 90 new pokemon thing.

          • I think more people are siding with the Chinese leaks than with these ones, but I still have a pinch of salt for both of them 🙂

          • I mean, they are very similar. Except for the synergy stuff. Rugby monkey sounds like the Gorilla the Europe guy talked about.

            But that Gym thing is kind of unsettling. I don’t want to see that happen in Pokemon games….

          • Yeah, same, but I don’t mind as much. Sure, it’ll take some getting used to, but I’m sure whatever happens, these games will be awesome, I can tell by looking at them

          • I don’t know to be honest. After seeing a koala and a Fighting red panda, I just don’t see the gorilla happening for some reason.

          • I don’t either, but I’m open for these to be real.
            I’ve said it before, I’m neutral and I’ll wait until these are officially confirmed in some way

          • True, it’s not like I would quit Pokemon forever or something like that XD but just not my favorite thing in these “leaks.”

          • ive read all his posts by using cntl+f to search his username. one fact stuck out as odd to me…
            “Tapu (whatever) is a fairy/flying type that creates misty terrain when it enters the field”
            why would it do that? since its a flying type, misty terrain wouldn’t help it in the least, because terrain only effects grounded pokemon. has there ever been a pokemon who’s ability didn’t directly interact with itself, a switch in, the opponent, of overworld? I could be wrong but I just found that strange.

        • Well, the synergy idea is an old suggested idea, so he could just repeat what everybody was saying…even the drawings, the concept arts did even leak before i guess….also, do you remember Mr. XY?……Firedman is a liar and its fake!!!

          Reply

  38. Trailer looks really good.
    I like it very much, except the thingy with no eeveeloutions, I want all types. Don’t get the stalling or only doing it in even gens.

    Those synergy/crystal attacks got me intrigued.

    Is there more on CoroCoro to come or was that one double page it?

  39. Btw guys, do you think that this piece of music is original? I love it so much, wish there were a full version of some sorts.

    Reply

    • Ah yeah, I really love it too, Been trying to find out anything about it, even tried typing the lyrics, but haven’t managed to find anything yet. 😛

      Reply

  40. The 4chan “leaks” are really weird sounding and the release of this trailer either confirms it or it was just a lucky guess. I hope it fakes though. I want more than 90 new Pokémon. 🙁

    Reply

  41. At this point I hope all of the 4chan leaks are fake, except for the gorilla Ground/Fighting, dolphin and no Gym Leaders.

    Reply

  42. Now that we know what the bracelets do, Doesn’t this deconfirm the Synchro Evolution Idea. And doesn’t this make the Chinese leaks fake. Since according to them, the stones function like mega stones?

    Also, You can finally take of the hat!

    Reply

    • I think the Synchro thing will be more based on an ultimate move, rather than a temporary appearance changing transformation.

  43. While trying to find the supposed leaked other guardians, I came across this. What is it, you ask? It’s Koko Crater on Oahu, Hawaii. I went and looked at the picture of Alola where the person compared it to locations in Hawaii. The person marked the crater on the ‘home’ island as ‘Diamond Head,’ but after doing some research, it’s also called Koko Head. Minus the obvious connection to Tapu Koko, the difference in names leads me to believe that Koko means Diamond. You know who has diamonds as a main element in their designs? Tapu Koko.

    So I said ‘Hey, what about the other areas that look suitable for the island guardians (the giant tree on the leftmost island, the volcanic area on the top right island, and the icy mountain on the rightmost island)

    And I found two possibilities for two of those ‘guardian lookin’ ‘ areas.

    (please note i’m using the names in the comparison map above, so please look at it)

    1. The top right island, known as Maui, is home to a volcanic area known as Haleakala. According to Hawaiian legend, a god name Pele created that volcano. A name that was mentioned in the ‘leak’ of the guardians.

    2: The leftmost island, the one officially called Hawaii here, is home to Mauna Kea, and icy mountain. A god, known as Poli’ahu is known to reside there. While no mention of this name is in the ‘leak’ there is one connection to Pele. Pele and Poli’ahu are sworn enemies. (Makes sense, one is in an icy area, one is in a firey area.)

    Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything for the large tree on the leftmost island, Kaua’i. There is a Hanalei Valley, but I could not find any gods or other being that represented it. This, of course could mean there is a Tapu Hana of some sort, or Tapu Lei.

    EDIT: ”This” was supposed to be a link, but it didnt got it for some reason. Here is it http://www.to-hawaii.com/oahu/attractions/kokoheadcrater.php

    • I agree with the locations, but the name Pele wasn’t mentioned. I guess you’re mistaking it with Tapu Lele. And you mean the rightmost island, not the leftmost. But overall it seems like a cool theory! 🙂

  44. Kiteruguma is Normal / Fighting bear. Its Abilities are Klutz and a new one named Fluffy. It’s a cute Pokemon that will always hug its Trainer but it’s also extremely dangerous and can break anything in half (so if your its Trainer, you have to watch out). Alola’s residents even put up signs to warn people about wild Kiteruguma.

  45. It has been confirmed that next month’s issue of CoroCoro, due for release on August 12th, will have a special “Southern Island Alola Guide” which is said to give all the important information that you need for your journey

  46. Something I saw on twitter related to GO…

    Manager during interview: “So why do you want to work for us?”
    Applicant: “Oh, I’m not asking for the job. There’s a Mewtwo here.”
    Manager: “WHERE?”

        • Yeah I had the same thing, but they can’t permaban everyone that has downloaded it already outside of AU, US and JP. They’d lose so much money.

          Reply

          • I used my dummy google account though, and besides the server is bad, I couldn’t find any Pokemon/gym/stops around my office, and it loses connection to the GPS real often. 😀

            The only Pokemon I have right now is a poor Squirtle…

  49. What are the odds of dexnav sneaking coming back at this point? We haven’t seen anything about it, but there’s no reason it should be Hoenn exclusive. I’m really hoping it does because it was one of the more effective shiny hunting methods, and shiny hunting is one of the things I’m most looking forward to.

    Reply

  52. In regards to Flygon, Hydreigon and Dragonite and the future of megas. I quote the legendary Daenaerys “Stormborn” Targaryen when I say…”WHERE ARE MY MEGAS?!” I do not care about no stupid special moves which are nothing more than a shortcut to not be creative.

    Reply

  53. So there’s no questioning that these wristbands involved some kind of super move
    That I came to accept, and as long there’s no cheesy weaboo fusion nonsense then it should be fine
    Now what we really have to think/worry about is the execution of these moves. I deducted that these super attacks are most likely either unique to the Pokemon using them or every type would have their own attack and or buff as demonstrated by the flashing type symbols
    Now we have very little to go by in this short trailer but we’re a….smart bunch and can probably peg down something

    Me, I’m leaning towards the wristbands hold some kind of Philosopher Stone (Or Pokesopher stone) that enables a one time super attack that provides a different attack or status based on Pokemon Type

    Reply

    • Yeah, I’m also thinking that it’s based on type, there’s just no way they would introduce a new attack for every evo line. The philosopher stone idea is interesting but seems possible. I just hope that these dance moves don’t indicate that you actually have to play some kind of a rhythm game to get the max power of that move, that would be horrible. Apart from that, I’m sold.

  54. Guys, my dad’s uncles’ daughters ex-fiance was a beta-tester for pokemon sun an moon. He says that there will be 40 new pokemon, no gyms, 2 islands come with the game purchase (the other two are DLC). Rowlett evolves into a coconut tree bird with three faces on each coconut. Litten evolves into a smaller kitten with incredible fighting abilities; and popplio evolves only once and acquires a normal typing (popplio is considered to be great for beginners).

    In order to beat an island you have to defeat any ten trainers, most of which will be NPC. The game is completed once you defeat any 20 trainers and face off with the thrilling three (which replace the elite four). The thrilling three consists of one battle in which all three of the opponents engage in a triple battle with you. There is also no experience points, you collect pokechips across the region as well as attack vouchers. Meaning, you use the pokechips to level up and the vouchers to temporarily use an attack; these are also used for online play. Lastly, your pokemon need to be fed, bathed, groomed, and monitored extensively in order for it to follow commands.

  55. Guys, I just made a screenshot of the menu screen of Sun and Moon from the Japanese trailer. Few of the menus look interesting and there are 2 pages which is quite interesting. Refresh for image.

    Reply

    • As you can see, the first button is probably the party, I don’t see the caption clearly. The Rotom Dex pretty much speaks for itself. The yellow one is our bag. The one next to it is the save button called Report in Japanese games. The interesting part (for me at least) is the Trainer Pass button. Yes, that’s not a card, but a pass. They always called it card before so it’s a bit weird. Isn’t that a Shuppet next to it? The last button is Pokewafure, most likely the expanded Amie feature. The name’s origin might be Pokémon, the Japanese particle wa and the Japanese pronounciation of Friends (furenzu). The second page is most likely for wonder trade and stuff like that. The Trainer Pass thing insterests me tho. If there’s no card, how would our card color change when we beat the league and things like that?

  57. That Guy Tylotic I hope that’s a joke or he lied cause that is the WORST Pokemon idea ever an Island that’s so big you have to beat 10 trainers on both cause the others islands are inaccessible and a starter that doesn’t evolve twice NO! Makes no story plot reasonable how would the Legendaries be involved I mean for me personally I would Quit Pokemon if this is true No no!
