New Japanese Pokémon Sun & Moon Commercial

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
  • New ‘Synergy’ stones & attacks teased (using fan made moniker, not official)

Game looks GREAT! Hype!

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

      • 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

          • 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!!!

  5. 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?

  6. 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.

    • 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. 😛

  7. 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. 🙁

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

  9. 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!

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

  10. 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! 🙂

  11. 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.

  12. 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

  13. 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…

  14. 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.
