Is This Another Island Guardian Pokémon?

by

Some fans have noticed that the sticker located at 1:36 of the new trailer looks like it could be of a new ‘Tapu’ Pokémon similar to Tapu Koko. It doesn’t seem to match any existing Pokémon character and does have a similar ‘shell’ like structure, but this could be a stretch.

Thought it was worth sharing though!

  1. So do we think we get and English trailer tomorrow or do they wait until the actual 15th. I don’t think they will ignore the two new Pokemon and on top of that whether we saw a lot of them or not we did get actual footage of the riding Pokemon function and new bond mechanic. I don’t think they would completely ignore all that and not do an update on them. With or without the rumors we still did get new stuff this week right? lol

      • I hope not. I can’t imagine the national side of things would be completely left out. If there wasn’t a Japanese trailer then yes I would agree with you it’d be like Rockruff and Komala, but there is footage to be shown this time so I don’t think they’ll do that again. At least not for this.

    • I doubt it will be tomorrow they would’ve done something today if they were doing it this week they will probably wait for a while like they did with Komala and Rockruff for whatever stupid reason.

  4. I got asked by like 15 different people at the hospital where I work if pokemon go is as good as the first pokemon games. I know I should be happy that GO, despite having next to no fun value is bringing more people into pokemon, but I feel they are getting into it for the wrong reasons. they try GO, then ask me to show them my pokemon Alpha Sapphire, and they hate it because its too hard and the pokemon aren’t pokemon they know. its sickening and disheartening as a pokemon fan to hear this.

    • Although this might have been your experience, I showed some of my friends that suddenly got into Pokemon in the past 4-5 days (hmm…. I wonder why lol) the Sun and Moon footage, and they actually said it looks really good and the Pokemon look really awesome too. I also showed Pokemon Alpha Saphirre to some college kids who were playing the app and they happened to be impressed and said that if they didn’t have to buy a 3ds they would play it….. That’s the thing, mobile apps reach a wider audience and its free, which is why you see people everywhere play it…

      • well im happy to hear that sort of response, that makes me feel a lot better. im the only person in our small hospital that really knows a lot about pokemon, so im kinda the go to guy for all information and ever since it came out, with the controversial news surrounding GO and what not, its kinda been getting stressful. its not what I felt pokemon should be known for. they also cant ever seem to understand when I tell them it isn’t made by gamefreak, but Niantic.
        anyways, your response really makes me feel better about the whole thing, thanks!

        • No prob! Btw, a lot of this “controversial stuff” is fake, and are just trying to sue Niantic and Pokemon, but they have nothing to sue them for 😀

    • Many people are playing the game because it’s “in”. They’ll leave within a few months, and we’ll be left with true Pokemon fans who intended on playing the game before it became so mainstream. I’m happy that Pokemon is getting lots of exposure again, but we all know that 90% of these people don’t care about Nintendo or Pokemon like we do. It’s fundamentally the Wii all over again.

    • This is why I wish Game Freak would stop the casualization of these games. The people who think it’s too hard obviously don’t care enough about it to put effort in at all.

      • Yet the same casuals will never have started the core series anyway.

        So either you reach them with a casual game, or you never touch them at all.

    • That’s why niantic should update it and add the other Pokemon gen by gen. It’s a good way to keep profit while telling casuals ” these are Pokemon”

      • They probably started with one generation so new players won’t get too overwhelmed with the roster. <3

        (Of course, besides budget and stuff.)

    • Little story! I went to an allergist today, and while I was in the waiting room there were two groups of people: A family, and a teen about my age. The family went in, and I saw them all run about and the mother have her phone on with Pokemon Go open. The teen went in shortly after, got some shots, and came out. I figured she was playing too, because she had her phone out and exclaimed something like “Where is it?” Apparently whatever she was catching was on me, and she felt weird about it and said “I know this may seem odd, but I swear I’m not taking a picture of you.” And I’m just like “I know, Pokemon Go. It’s cool don’t worry.”
      When I left the allergist, I heard all of the nurses and receptionists talking about it. Man did it really blow up! (for now, at least)

      [Side note: It turns out that I’m allergic to dust, dust mites (these two I assumed already), dogs, and cattle?]

    • The same people who said the core series is too hard would not have started the core series anyway regardless of whether or not GO exists.

      So don’t worry about whether they transition to the core series or not. They wouldn’t have gotten in to Pokemon in any way anyway (heh) without GO.

  6. Well. I just wanted to get this off my mind, but I’ve been watching Late Night Shows and the News a lot and I literally CAN’T WAIT until the media stops talking about Pokemon GO. There’s so much about accidents that happen to STUPID users who cross the Highway to catch a Pokemon and their parents blaming it on the game. It scares me because they might ban the game even though there’s a agreement before you start and a warning during the loading. Every time I see news about an accident and the parents say “Don’t let your kids get this game” I feeling like screaming into a pillow and then burning the pillow while shredding it in a Garbage Disposal. }:(

  9. I’m just forever waiting for Pokemon Go to be released in the UK
    I’ve caught a Zubat, Fearow & Meowth for my friend cause she changed her App Store to American, but I really wanna play it for myself ahhhhh
    I do like the little foreshadowing that they do in these real life trailers. Just shows how Pokemon brings people together, especially now that Go is out
