Amazon Listing Reveals New Sun & Moon Screenshots

A Japanese product listing has revealed new screenshots of the upcoming 3DS games Pokémon Sun & Moon. It gives a very clear look at the outside of a Pokémon Center, crossing a road and also a dirt path. They may have been part of earlier trailers but offer very good image quality.

Wonder if we’ll learn more this Monday…

  1. Sorry I know this is very irrelevant, but I really was interested to see everyone’s answers on AskPokejungle:
    1. Why do you still play pokemon to this day?
    2. Have you ever been TRULY disappointed in a pokemon title (such as once you 3. finished playing it you decided you won’t play it again)? what was it and why?
    3. What is/are a pokemon that many people don’t know you really like?
    4. What’s something you would be glad never returned in future pokemon games?
    5. Whats a very random yet memorable moment you have in pokemon?
    6. Whats your favorite pokemon from your least favorite type and why?

    @Mods Why do you continue to be one of the leaders of this site?
    @Mods What hardships on the site have you overtime to stay modding here?

    • 1. I still play it cause it’s fun lmao.
      2. ORAS disappoints me so much. Very underwhelming and feels like it lacks heart.
      3. I adore Druddigon. Everyone calls it a childish dragon but I love it 🙁
      4. Tbh, megas. I don’t like how they’ve changed the way competitive works. Too many threats to worry about for my taste. Although there are some normal Pokemon that are just as “broken.”
      5. Somehow beating the rematch E4 teams in Black with an incredibly underleveled team. It was great.
      6. Lapras. Even though Ice is a pretty ass type, I love Lapras’s design. Simple as that.

      1. I don’t right now. I’m just waiting for Gen 7 to breed again because there will likely be a new “pentagon” symbol to denote Gen 7-ness.
      2. FRLG disappointed me. I didn’t finish it.
      3. Toxicroak
      4. Game Center, Voltorb Flip
      5. Competitive wise, my extreme come from behind victory in the doubles battle Maison (frozen Togekiss and dying Typhlosion vs +2 Calm Minds Latios and Thundurus, Togekiss had a clutch thaw and with a Dazzling Gleam crit Latios to death and defeated Thundurus). Story wise, it’s going into space with Rayquaza.
      6. Masquerain. It has an amazing design along with Intimidate, if only it was Bug/Water.

    • 1. It’s addicting. I also like creating a team.
      2. Yes. X/Y. Due to a lack of postgame and the fact it was pathetically easy. This isn’t the case with ORAS because of my nostalgic bias for Gen 3 but it would be otherwise.
      3. Roserade. I like even though I’ve never used it.
      4. Exp. Share as it was in Generation 6.
      5. I don’t really have anything memorable that is random. The one thing I remember most vividly from pokemon is the route before Lilycove and Mt Pyre.
      6. Bug. I like Vikavolt, because it looks cool. Yep.

      This will probably be a formatting mess.

    • 1. best RPG video game series
      2. Gates to Infinity was a horrendous experience, ORAS wasn’t a complete disappointment but it was just so boring and felt very old compared to Kalos and Unova.
      3. Togekiss
      4. buildings that all face in one direction – its just unnatural in 3D
      5. Stealing Flags in Platinum in order to catch a Spiritomb in Platinum – it was the oddest requirement Ive ever had to fulfill to catch a Pokemon
      6. Dragalge, because even though he’s a poison type, at least he’s also a Dragon

      Reply
    • 1. Because I love the concept of capturing, collecting, trading and battling creatures and adventuring into a new world. It is one of the best RPG series ever and I’ve played since I was 4.
      2. Probably X and Y. Well, not really REALLY dissapointed. In fact, I played it again (even though I didn’t really enjoy it a second time either). It felt empty, and way too easy.
      4. Skarmory
      5. XD Well, story time. When I started with pokemon video games (with Pokemon blue on the gameboy), it was brought by my cousin’s cousin from the other side of his family who was 24 already (we are all really close and my cousin is actually my best friend since we were kids). Anyway, so we played the game since we only collected cards and couldn’t find a working gameboy anywhere. So, when we both played, we were stuck at Saffron city because we couldn’t get in due to the thirsty security guard. And we had NO CLUE what to do. So until we learned how to use the internet (lol we were 5) we were stuck and our Pokemon were at level 80 by then XD..
      6. Snorlax (least favorite typing is Normal) and this is because I like his concept, simple design, and diversity when battling…

    • 1. I don’t know, I just really like it, a lot
      2. For some reason I didn’t like gen 3, RSE wasn’t really my thing
      3. Empoleon
      4. This may come as a shock to many, but never liked that Pokemon walking around you feature, wish there was an off function
      5. While playing FRLG I thought those were nothing but remakes of gen 1, I didn’t know there were new features. That moment when I was given pass for Sevii islands, and going to that whole new part of the game was one of the best surprises for me in any Pokemon game.
      6. I’m not sure I have a least fave type, but if I would really have to choose I would probably choose Normal, and my fave would be Mega Pidgeot cuz it gave an original bird a new shine. If megas are out than Staraptor. Loved using it in Platinum and pressing Close Combat

      Because it is my Favorite Game it holds cute little creatures an interesting story and good plot line!

      Gen.6 I only play it to say I completed the pokedex that I still need to fill but I think it brought to many Pokemon back in clumps of areas, way to few Pokemon to hold interest, WAAAAAYY to easy, they replaced pal park and such with a downloadable piece of garbage that made it too easy to transfer, Competitive tournaments are swarmed with Legendaries and too predictable teams, I hated the Kalos rivals except Trevor for some reason!

      Weavile not many people get and its my favorite!

      Another Proffesor who is obsessed with something like Mega Evolution Kukui doesn’t count he studies moves not those things exactly

      I was 7 and caught a Pikachu in Diamond asked my Grandma how to spell Mouse and she wasn’t listening and I heard Muse and that is its name to this day

      Poison and Scourpi because it’s so cute and another story my first win ever in elite 4 I had a Lv. 26 Scourpi on my team

    • 1: Been playing hardcore all week prepping my fire mono, and NU team
      2: ORAS
      3: Hmmmmm Hypno?
      4: I gotta say Megas they’re really causing me problems lately alongside legends
      5: My very first Shiny a Marowak from Victory Road FR
      6: Begrudgingly I have to say Slurpuff, when that little dipshit came out I didn’t totally hate it, and not for nothing I have won quite a few bottles with my patented dual tank set

    • I play because I’ve played for years and it gives me something to do, and it’s honestly it allows me to escape from my problems in real life, as silly as that sounds.

      I wouldn’t say that I’ve ever been truly dissapointed in a title, but XY was a large let down for me, though it had quite a few strong points.

      My love for Shedinja has never been very vocal.

      I like most features, but the real issue is that they add cool features and then remove them for no good reason.

      My brother came to me screaming that he found something weird in HGSS. Sure enough it was a shiny swinub, but at the time I thought it was a glitch so I immeadiatly shut down the DS.

      I’d have to say either Rhydon or Kabutops.

    • 1. It’s both the game and the anime that I never stopped loving, I get Nostalgia and such but it’s the newer generations that excite me more and the great spin-offs, like ranger, mystery dungeon and Conquest, I can’t wait to see what we get next.

      2. Not quite truly disappointed as such, but Gates to infinity started to bore with the simplified gameplay and was far too easy. An legendary right from the start? Bleh.

      3. Dustox, I’ve always found it really charming and cool, but I never really speak about it. 😛

      4. One use TMs, that’s always bothered me, especially with Pokemon with limited or underwhelming move sets. So glad it changed.

      5. Running about in glittering cave for ages, half paying attention and bored, looking for a solosis that took ages to find, when I accidentally ran under a Woobat shadow that I was trying to avoid doing obviously, just as soon as I was about to hit escape, I realised that I heard a sparkle and there was was first ever shiny Pokemon! I was so happy, called him Miracle. 😀

      And another would be finding my (kinda) first shiny in the HGSS battle frontier, that was so evil, wish I’d had that shiny octillary instead, totally raged for a while.

      Hmm, I can’t really say I dislike a type, but I never tend to use poison or ice, so maybe Dragalge or Regice.

    • 1. I love playing Pokemon since my childhood. It’s a wonderful RPG.
      2. None of the main series titles have disappointed me.
      3. Whelp. Everyone knows I love Gible.
      4. Walking with Pokemon.
      5. Beat Brock with just Embers from my Charmander.
      6. Porygon-Z, I really dislike Normal Types.

    • 1. It’s fun + nostalgic.
      2. Never.
      3. Top 3 Pokemon: Milotic/Lilligant/Vespiquen (most people only know gen 1 and gen 2.
      4. IV’s
      5. Finding my first Feebas and evolving it into a Milotic!
      6. My least favorite type is steel. Scizor. It is sleek and sleathy — not clunky and ugly.

  2. Those screenshots are all old except the one with Pikipek and Pikachu. They came out when the RotomDex and Melemele Island were revealed.

  3. So I’m scouring the interwebs more on our Starter Evolutions Bowinowl, Heatigre and I honestly can’t think of a good name maybe Sisearen

    Reply
  4. Evolution prediction: My prediction is on Mudsdale, it’s pre-Evolution will be based on a little horse a ground type, but it’s evolution on the other hand would be either a centaur a ground/fighting type,a Trojan a ground/Steel type a Trojan horse a ground/grass type or just a bigger horse keeps his original type.

  5. that first screenshot just proves how massive this game is going to be, I mean look at how huge this city looks and thats only a small spot on the map of the smallest of the four islands

  6. Question time! What Pokemon would you like to get a Pre-Evolution or Evolution for me Kangaskahn and Chatot!

    Kangaskahn cause it hatches with a baby so pre-Evo me
    Chatot the word tot is used for small, young, baby like give it an Evolution to make it useful!

  7. I hope they improve lighting dynamics in Sun/Moon. I appreciate the small details like these. In ORAS, when you walk out of a Pokemon Center you see the light from inside reflect off the ground outside. Most people don’t notice these details, but they make the game seem more alive.

    Reply
  8. Body fading, need caffeinated News, so honestly is there any word on the Starter Evo pics
    I just have horrible gut feelings that they might be very real

    But at least Litten looks like a bruiser and my Brother who now likes Rowlet (and coincidentally is also a bowslinger) would like the Archowl

    Reply
    • As of yet there has been no confirmation one way or the other as to whether the Chinese leaks are real or fake. As time goes on it does seem to look like they may be real (at least in part) typically real fakes get discredited almost immediately. I think my only fear is that Litten will become a fighting type Pokemon. The leaks that came with the pics never gave a typing as far as I know so it might not be dark type like many have wished…..wish could be very unfortunate….lol

      Reply
  9. Ok I have a theory based on all we know and what we think we know (Chinese leaks): What if in the main campaign of the game the island trials are our bosses as opposed to the typical gym leaders. They would essentially fill the same role, but would be different as they’re be more ritualistic ( sort of like the battle with Hau) rather than part of an organization. As we go through the story the league elements start to pop up around the region. People could see us taking the trials and get the idea to start gyms. Maybe there’s even representatives we meet along the way that are from other regions trying to start up a fully formed league in Alola. Then by the time we get to the end of the main story a formal league has been put into place. That would make the gym leaders in a way a post game thing. I honestly think the leaks are a bit misleading. I don’t think they mean we as the main character are building a league, but more so that as the story goes on we essentially inspire a league to happen. I’m sure there would have to be a story element as a whole organization wouldn’t be centered around a child lol I think it would be a breath of fresh air and still keep the gym element that everyone apparently doesn’t want to let go of lol

  10. I’ve thought about ways to limit Mega Evolution in S/M or future Pokemon Games. Maybe, Mega Evolution could be limited by 5 to 7 turns of Battle. S/M is rumoured to have a gauge mechanic, so Megas might be dependent on it. The guage would decrease every turn your Mega Evolved, when you switch out you retain your turn. Would the Mega-haters like this?
    Also, after reading Meancing’s post, why do a lot of people feel disappointed with OR/AS & X/Y?

    Reply
    • I loved ORAS, its a remake and expands slightly upon the original, I think a lot of people dislike oras because in reality they were more emerald fans and were holding out hope that the battle place in emerald would return or something, tbh I never played emerald but loved R/S and loved ORAS even more, I never understood the disappointment either as there is really nothing to be disappointed by

      Reply
      • Even without the inclusion of the battle frontier Oras was very light on content. Even compares to previous remakes. Delta episode was cool but there were not any new areas to explore like the sevi islands from frlg.

        Reply
    • It falls into the same trap that XY fell into. Too easy, no post game. I feel like they made it rushed, and it doesn’t live up to the previous remake. Beside that, even though it remakes RS, I feel like emerald is the optimal way to play, even though it was made way before ORAS.

      Reply
    • My main issue with X & Ywas that they were too damn easy, storyline was meh, boring characters, boring region & no post game thank God for competative battling that’s the only thing that keep me playing. As for ORAS too easy & no Battle Frontier :/.

        • I understand that. But I hate how developers these days think Gamers are stupid and won’t enjoy challenging games.

          Reply
          • We say that, but today’s kids are dumb, lazy and can’t think for themselves without constant hand holding

          • Yep that’s true. I think it’s because they have too much stuff to do. When a game is too hard they will just put it down and go do something else.

          • If you can get them to play an actual video game
            All the snot noses are all tied up with mobile games, Disgusting

          • Which is why I hope Pokemon GO is the game for them, and we can continue to enjoy the main games with lots of depth and difficulty.

          • Mines just a cynical asshole who rants and raves on EVERYTHING and the other one has the personality of a dried fart

          • I agree with you, but not all kids are like that 🙂 My little cousin (10) enjoys harder video games to test her skills and always begs me (her high schooler aged cousin) to let her play the harder games that I play because she hates easy.

          • I certainly won’t enjoy it if it becomes too easy. The dumbing down of the games might work in getting kids to buy the game but it makes the game less fun.

          • I agree. Pokemon Black and White were going in the right direction, then they blew it with X/Y :/

          • It was like, finally Pokemon was stepping out of the box and delivering to us something brand new.

            And then we were given something completely different and not impressive

    • It is the level of difficulty and constant holding your hand mechanics in the game. X and Y felt empty and rushed. They didn’t seem complete, and post game was absolutely non existent.

      ORAS was better but still the easiest game in the world, and also seemed very rushed. I hope sun and moon are more like gen 5 in which they focus more on character development, story, and giving us a game full of life and depth rather than impressing young children that won’t even play Pokemon for more than a day.

    • My personal reasons for being disappointed:
      X/Y: Loved it but,
      -Too few new pokemon, only one evolution/pre-evo of an old pokemon, and only one new ground type who happened to be the regional rodent’s evo

      -Tying into the other one, creators felt that mega evolutions were a suitable replacement to introducing new evos
      -Weak post game
      -Team Flare has the worst motivation since Gen 3 (Destroying the world to maintain its beauty)
      -Way too easy, level was in the 80s when I reached E4 w/o grinding
      -Waaaaaaaay too many old pokemon taking attention from the few new ones

      OR/AS:
      -Weak post game, weak post game, weak post game

      -First game I needed an HM Slave since Gen 4
      -First pokemon game I EVER felt like I had to power through, just felt like it dragged
      -Felt rushed, like it was just something to satisfy fans between XY and S/M
      -Had nothing to really set itself apart. It really was just R/S with Gen 6 graphics. As an example: Firered and Leafgreen extremely updated a dated Gen 1, HeartGold and Soulsilver had walking pokemon, pokeathlon and updated gen 2 mechanics, OR/AS had the primordial Pokemon Go AKA thelittle search function on your touch screen and Soaring which was fun, but wasn’t enough to warrant a remake. Gen 3 wasn’t that dated yet in my opinion.

      TL;DR, They were lacking

      – Catching no longer gives exp
      – Bag has a potion limit of 5
      – Exp share is gone
      – Gym battles limit your Pokemon to the same amount of the leader
      – E4 are consecutive battles, no healing inbetween
      – No more scheduled rival battles. Make them surprises again
      – For the love of God, make Legendaries difficult to catch again.

    • – gyms start at lv88 and add 1 for every subsequent gym.
      – E4 starts at lv96 and Champ is lv100
      – you can only use the same amount of pokemon a GL, E4, or Champ has
      – items are for forbidden, if used illegally, the item will yield a negative effect (eg full restore faints your pokemon)
      – you black out, you start over
      – you lose a battle, you black out, you start over
      – pokemon level caps at 85
      – there is no professor and your starters are at level 1 with toxic or wil-o-wisp
      – none of this info is given to you

      -If the surfing Pokemon faints while you are surfing on it, you are reset back to where you started the surf.

      -Exp Share removed

      -Gym Leaders and E4 have full teams of 6.

      -NPCs use competitive movesets

      -Smart AI

  11. Been playing Soul Silver and dang, didn’t realize how touch the early game could be. Had to fight Silver 4 times before I beat him. That god dang Bayleef makes everything difficult. Bugsy also gave me some trouble. All worth it though because I randomly found a shiny weedle afterwards!

  12. So I thought of an evolution for Litten while at work…

    Calculit. (Cal-Q-Litt)

    Origin: Calculate + Lit, while also being a play on words of the word “calculate.” It would look more tigerish with exaggerated and intimidating eyes, perhaps continuing to resemble glasses. Still a quadruped and would become Fire/Dark. I just was thinking about tigers while I was at the zoo yesterday and I always felt they could be described as “calculating.” Idk, just something random that I thought of.

  13. Just went to a zoo. I need a zoo tycoon Pokemon crossover please and thank you. Let me build a wonderful marsh habitat for woopers and mudkips! Donphan in the desert with maractus and a camel Pokemon! Please!

  14. After reading everyone’s complaints on X/Y/OR/AS; I seriously think GameFreak needs to strike a balance in difficultly and post game content. For starters; the games need a Easy, Normal, and Hard Mode. These modes will heighten/decrease the amount of Pokemon, Moves, AI Level, and EXP a trainer earns. B2/W2 had something similar to this, but GameFreak needs to capture that from other RPGs. Lastly, I do think every Pokemon Game should begin quests with obtaining legendaries; similar to Pokemon Ranger. This would expand the post game with numerous events to further the story. Here’s to hoping that S/M fixes all of our complaints.

    • Literally what I’ve been saying for months. xD What I think would be cool as well would be a “Pokemon Master” mode, which would be unlocked by beating Hard mode.
