    • That’s because most sites will only update after the announcement. Pokejungle is the only site I know of that updates live with an audience (us).

  1. As much as I’d love starter evolutions, I think it’s very unlikely we’ll get them since we always get them roughly a month before release. Besides, if they’re released we won’t be getting as many creative fanarts. 😛

    • I’ve learned to never doubt the Internet when it comes to fanarts xD
      But yeah, I agree with you that starter evos seem unlikely right now, but if they do release I don’t be too mad 🙂

  2. – Hopefully some Gym Leaders and/or E4 members reveals…!
    – Evil Team would be cool!
    – A close-up on one or more of the other islands.
    – A new Guardian (at least).
    – A new Legendary?
    – More Pokémon, please.

  3. I’m getting VERY concerned that we’ve seen little character information, such as the Evil Team, Gym Leaders. Just Pokemon, the Professor, Rival, & the mysterious Lillie and Hala. Please reveal the Evil Team and some Gym Leaders and other details!
