With the latest Pokémon Sun & Moon information, we can now say that the rumors seem to be true. Not only the Poké Riding, but at least with the leaked Starter Evolutions we can clearly see one of the Trial Captains in the art, and the final evolution of Litten is probably holding two of its middle evolutions.
4chan Rumor
For now these are going to be de-confirmed since a number of Pokémon listed appear not to be getting an Alolan form
The anime’s Ash-Greninja will appear in the gameAlolan Rattata & Raticate are Dark-typeAlolan Butterfree is Bug/PsychicAlolan Abra, Kadabra & Alakazam are Fighting-typeAlolan Nidoking & Nidoqueen are Poison/Fighting-typeAlolan Growlithe & Arcanine are Water-typeAlolan Doduo & Dodrio are Fighting/Flying-typeThe previous versions of Pokémon which have taken on new forms will only be accessible by bringing in from older gamesFurfrou gets new stylesNew cat Pokémon varies in type and appearance based on breedingThere is a new snowman Pokémon line with two stages and it is Ice/GhostNot to get hopes up, but there may be two final evolutions for each starter
Chinese Rumor
- There will be no traditional Gyms and no Pokémon League in Alola. Your goal is to actually create one. After you do, an Elite 4 will appear which are the leaders of each island
- The final starter evolutions will be an Archer, a Wrestler and a Siren
- The diamond stones will be collectible throughout the region and act similarly to Mega Stones but not exactly
- New Pokémon based on a dolphin, sea cucumber, snowman, mushroom and a rugby monkey are there
- Rockruff’s evolution is a Werewolf
- Mashadow, another copyrighted Pokémon name, has a very unique type combo

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Request-a-Trade
Hey. I’m new to this, but I’ve been following discussions and articles on pokejungle since black and white were announced. What made me want to create an account was because of the reveal of Alolan forms. This reveal brought to my attention a rumor from 2008 prior to the announcement of generation V. Please check out the link if you’d like. I also attached pictures since they’re not available in the link.

Hai 😀 Welcome to the Jungle! :3
Always exciting to get new faces 🙂
And that indeed does look interesting
Electric Meganium? Neato!
Welcome!!!!!! <3
Welcome! Thanks for deciding to join the discussion!
Also hope the leaks of difficulty settings are true. X/Y were incredibly easy, which in turn made them rather boring.
When was this? I do seriously want the feature!
Ehm I read it on 4chan, it was listed among the June leaks I think.
You’d get a case of sunglasses from your mother, and each pair would represent a difficulty level.
Hmmm…. I think that rumor talked about gym leaders so that ones probobly fake.
Yes! Give us the difficulty! We need gen 4 difficulty!
I remember almost losing to Cynthia. D/P/Pt had the right difficulty mix. Including the older games!
Almost losing? I lose almost every time!
Garchomp slammed my Empoleon with Earthquake. My Ice Beams pulled through tho! 😉
That wasn’t in either of these leaks, it sadly is false and likely a fan dream. Though some of the stuff that is not the Chinese leak, sounds like a fan dream. Blue returning? And they also got Ninetales’s Alolan form type wrong. Fire/Fairy instead of Ice/Fairy. So I think most of that leak will be true and some of it will be false.
Sorry about earlier. I go through three stages of when we get an announcement:
1. Shock
2. Denial
3. Acceptance.
Currently in Denial. So much information that I can’t process and bring it to Acceptance yet.
The circle of life my friends, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love, till we find our place. Hopefully you find your place. 😀
Es fine, you just gotta move past the first impressions and realize first impressions sometimes change.
Hopefully, after some time, you’ll process it and reach acceptance 🙂
Your good! You don’t have to like everything! Impressions always change overtime!
There was a leak that said it was fire/dark
One that was proven false unfortunately.
as well as it’s name. Although he may have mistranslated Robinroot’s name of being Robingroot. Though these names are said to have been leaked as far back as 2015
So what we have as female trainers.
Original series (Gen 1 & 2): Misty (Water Type Gym Leader)
Advance (Gen 3): May (Fire Type Starter) Torchic
Diamond & Pearl (Gen 4): Dawn (Water Type Starter) Piplup
Black & White (Gen 5): Iris (Dragon Type Gym Leader)
X & Y (Gen 6): Serena (Fire Type Starter) Fennekin
Sun & Moon (Gen 7): Mallow (Grass Type Captain) Rowlet
Bout time we’d have a Grass Type Companion, don’t you agree?
If Mallow does join Ash this is the first time in a long time I’ll be pissed if the anime does not do her justice. She’s slowly becoming my bias.
I’m more concerned with the fact that they might turn Ash into a novice trainer again, like they have been doing since the series’s introduction.
After placing 2nd/winning the league at Kalos?! O_O If they do, we’re rioting because last time Ash won anything, he just became more competitive; Frontier –> Epic Sinnoh Form.
They did it when he won the Battle Frontier whilst beating legendaries like the Regis and Articuno. Did it when he got top 4 in the Sinnoh League and did it for Kalos as well.
I’m afraid they will do so. A new series means new kiddies to join in with the new gaming experience. And if you know Pokemon as well as I do, the series tend to recycle the plot, as well as Ash’s destiny in order to make more money for the Pokemon Company.
If he wins the Kalos league, would make zero sense if they reset Ash again though.
Hopefully it’s not the good games bad anime situation like black and white.
With the political strife of the new decade, I’m not too surprised companies are opting for happy, go-lucky entertainment. Sadly, they seem to be affecting everything.
i hope the Rowlet in Ash’s group will evolve. Greninja’s with Ash and has this big Ash-Greninja thing while Delphox was the lead Pokemon of Aria. How ’bout Chesnaught? :/
Agree I think Ash will choose Litten though.
and evolve into Panthster, and into yet another disobeying Charizard.
Yeah and then Synchro’s with it to get Ash-Panthster and win the Alola League.
or how the money-making company handles the anime, most definitely not. You saw how Ash’s Charizard through his disobedient cost Ash the Kanto League.
NO HE WILL PICK ROWLET BECAUSE ITS THE CUTEST THING EVER
oh! So we’re having THIS craze again are we?
I feel like Ash will pick Rowlet :/
or maybe all three
Ash never gets the birds. Lol
Ash gets a bird almost every generation, to look for team rocket and lost Pokemon mostly.
I mean starter birds. Torchic and piplip
and now Rowlet. But still, at least Ash now has a Cat Pokemon of his very own to rub in the face of Meowth, and Popplio too.
Ah, well anything can change.
So with this new Poke Ride feature, is it safe to assume that HMs are gone?
Thank Arceus: it was about time.
Certainly seems like it.
I and some others talked about this. I think so! Charizard can do Soaring and Fly, while Sharpedo and Lapras could do Surfing and potential Diving. I’m glad; its about damn time their gone. It’s tedious to use them!
rip generic surfing sprite (1996-2016)
It may be gone, but not forgotten.
I hope somebody does a character analysis or paper on Ash soon because the series as a whole, when looked from a broad spectrum actually shows how well he is written.
It’s that time once again Junglers! Time to update our teams! Reply with yours!
Sun (primary game):
– Rowlet
– Salandit
– Mimikyu
– Sandslash
Moon (secondary game):
– Popplio
– Exeggutor
No
Yes
Ughhhhh
Litten
Rockruff
Mudsdale
– Rowlet/Popplio
– Pikipek
– Lurantis
– Pseudo-legend
– Wild Card
– Wild Card
I’ll make a team when I see the full dex. I’m going to start with Litten tho.
This is by far not my final team, but it’s fun to build with what we’re given. Plus, I’m trying not to know the whole dex beforehand.
Popplio
Mimmikyu
Ninetails (ice)
Oricorio (Sensu Style)
Lurantis
Comfey or Cutiefly
(will probably change once the game comes out)
We must have similar tastes, so far I am thinking:
Poppmaid
Lurantis
Cutiefly
Ninetails (Alola)
I won’t be going Oricorio, but the Sensu is by far the best design.
I usually go for pokemon with beauty, grace, or just general cuteness
Same. Though one regal/cool is also good for balance (Arcanine and Pyroar are the best examples). But I also think those two are cute as well. What was your first team in xy?
it was (not 100% sure)
Froakie
Spritzee
Bulbasaur (i think)
Flabebe (yellow)
Heliolisk
and then later on Trevenant
Sun:
Litten
Rockruff
Drampa
Oricorio
Sun (other game):
Rowlett
Komala
Salandit
Mudsdale
Moon:
Popplio
Ninetales
Bewear
Oricorio
You have a lot of free time in the future i guess? Haha
Lol… Not really. I use to rotate each game after one beat the gym but now
I have to figure out a new method of rotating…
Haha, I thought having both games and two teams was a job already xD
Only thing about these games I’m not into is Littens evolution
Throwback to when everyone hated Popplio and now Litten’s the one receiving all the hate. Oh how the tables have turned.
More like when all of them were getting a ton of hate and now only litten3.
An owl archer is pretty damn badass.
I’m just saying most people didn’t feel the same way, at least at first.
I understand. 😀
I’m in life with the thing.
I mean love.
I personally liked Popplio and I like it’s evolution because it’s different and I hate Littens evolution because it’s yet another bipedal fire starter and it’s likely the 4th fire/fighting too
They always do. “froakie is soooo ugly!”
I loved all of them, but Popplio the most. The hate was just unbearable.
I don’t actually dislike Panster — it’s more just alright in my eyes. I would rank it higher than Emboar and Typhlosion among the fire-starters.
#TeamRowlet since May 10
Day one fan here as well.
Right there with you but now I’m wondering if I’m going to get Popplio instead
#TeamRowletSinceTheFirstTimeISawIt
Team Popplio, but I do LOVE robbinhoot.
I’ll give everyone sometime. I remember when everyone and I hated Greninja! Now, everyone loves it and its ability. It’s popularity rivals Charizard. Things will change when they are official revealed and time passes.
No they won’t because I still hate the kalos final evolutions
Fire types have been through a lot since Blaziken. I like the Fennekin like though.
There will be more kitten/cat pokemon as a concession. The 2-stage cat that evolves depending upon the father’s typing.
Minior should evolve into an asteroid belt or something. too much potential for that cute rock!
Fuse it with Lunatone and Solrock and you’ve got a planetary system. 😀
OMG MAKE IT HAPPEN GF!
they should have this group with pokemon based on comets and maybe even black holes~
I hope it evolves into something cool
I love it too. I am expecting a colorful, glowing, and powerful pokemon.
Totem Gumshoos is encountered next to a TM
Good catch
I think you get the TM, you beat it.
It’s guarding HM Cut!
The only thing I want to cut is the HM itself.
…
It’s a joke lol.
Gen 6 I don’t care for Greninja
Gen 7 I don’t care for Litten
Can’t decide between Popplio and Rowlet :/ and it’s important because that’s what you remember most when you reflect on the games in the future years.
You’re simply not worthy enough for the mighty Greninja!
It’s overhyped like Charizard
And it’s kinda ugly IMO.
I think he is cute. 🙂
I think it’s because of its tongue. It looks odd to me. Oh well, at least it’s not as bad as Emboar haha. Anyway, I’m excited to use Poppmaid too 🙂 I don’t think it deserves the hate it gets.
It definitely does not! I mean, it’s a siren pokemon with a bladed waist – she’s beautiful and deadly.
That’s funny, I actually think the tongue-scarf makes it cute. And agreed on EmBORE.
Poppmaid is my favorite pokemon of all time now. Though, Robbinhoot is still top 5 final evolution; its design is seemless. I can understand the hard choice. Maybe it depends on the rest of your ream. I’m a huge Lurantis fan, so I will definitely be going Poppmaid and Lurantis.
Trump is gonna sue GF for resemblance to him.
Let him sue. Pokemon has enough money to buy his whole family of jokes.
I mean its a funny joke, but I highly doubt he actually would.
He won’t notice until Sun and Moon comes to GO. He probably plays GO.
He actually has said he doesn’t have time for such things.
But he has time to belittle and create nonsensical drama. OKAYYY *sips tea* *rolls eyes* moving on to more relevant topics…
it would be a total shocker if the Yungoos prey resembles Clinton for some reason (idek how it would look like but that would be cool)
that could be its prey, too bad that it would strike back and take yungoos the heck out lol
You gotta wonder if it’s intentional or not.
I feel like it’s intentional. But we’ll know if it was when we see its move set. It’ll have Trump card.
I wonder if ken Sugimori even knows who Trump is.
Please. Even mongooses know who Trump is
Anyone who reads the news knows who that idiot is, but actually making a Pokemon based on him? Hmmm, it’s a kid’s game + it was probably designed ages ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwiZRgdj1b0
pretty much sums up Game Freak to those who have leaked the final evolutions.
You posted this a lot.
I thought many have not seen it.
GameFreak tryna make last minute modifications to prove the leaks wrong. “SEE?! Instead of Panthstar having its tail pixel to the left, we moved it to the inner-right-corner-left.”
I am wondering wat Alakazam would look like when he become Fighting type ……I mean he could hold something rather than spoons like Nunchaku or any krate weapons with some muscles.
Make MACHAMP Psychic I say then.
In fact change every gen1 type to a polar opposite …
Dragon Caterpie
Fire Seel
Etc
This is sarcasm 😛
Rock Gengar and Ghost Golem!
Even better, ghost Clefable, fairy Gengar
take my money
Gimme DAT. Nice nod to the shadow tale 🙂
Ground Electric Gyarados :O yuck haha
I want to know wat kind of animal Alakazam’s line based on ??
I think I remember somewhere said it was based off a fox.
But mainly humanoid based off magicians.
So it’s a FoxHuman 😛
For upset litten fans, you can always go for the 2-stage cat pokemon contained with the confirmed leak. (Assuming they did not leak some red herrings) It evolves based on the typing of the parent. Voila, you have yourself a Fire-type cat. (Though, not confirmed if bipedal :p)
Okay, okay, so this might be a text wall…
So, official site, Lurantis is the Totem Pokemon of Lush Forest, in Akala Island.
English trailer, Mallow is in the Lush Forest, saying it’s ‘the trial grounds for me’ so obviously at the end of Mallow’s trail in Lush Forest, Lurantis will be the boss Pokemon and Mallow is the Trial Captain of Akala Island. Obvious is obvious.
I can pinpoint though which island she’s at, though, because of the Japanese trailer.
In the Japanese trailer, she’s first at location 1, then near a farm in location 2. Both of those (specifically location 2, location 1 is a guess for me) are in the island to the right of Melemele. Both are circled with a number next to them. So I’d guess Lush Forest is below the farm or above it, although I can’t say for certain.
There’s a chance I could be wrong, but most likely this is Akala Island.
rf if you can’t see it
Thanks Percy! This makes much more sense now; Pokemon is actually playing out more like an RPG now! 😀
i just searched what Akala may mean and here’s what I found: “a shrub or climber (Rubus macraei) of Hawaii with very large RED or PURPLISH raspberrylike edible fruit”
People also said it meant pink, and there’s a pink mark in the charm you get (there’s a picture somewhere, someone posted it earlier)
Fits with bird keeper tobys theory
Cool!
Ok, but here’s the problem. Kiawe is also clearly on that island, because of the volcano. Lana, from the looks of it, also seems to be on the same island. Here’s why: The Lapras scene is located in an area with multiple waterfalls. The only place this seems to fit is on the 2nd island, near the top-left with all the waterfalls.
It doesn’t make sense to have 3 trial captains on one island. Sophocles is clearly on the 3rd, because he’ll probably be in the observatory. My guess is that Kiawe & Lana are on the 2nd island, with Mallow & Sophocles on the 3rd. Then, there must be additional trial captains, because there would be none for the 1st and 4th islands.
THe thing is, though, there’s no farm or pen in the 3rd island. I looked, I don’t see any there. The only thing with both of those scenes’ locations is in the 2nd island.
Yes, it is troublesome.
Or maybe Kiawe is in the first island, there is a volcano there (Sure it’s not fiery, but whatever)
Plus for Lana, in her scene, there’s a wooden bridge that leads to a island with a sign, I can’t see that anywhere so it could be on the last island for all we know.
I definitely think this is Akala Island. I may have a chance it’s wrong, but I put my bet on it.
I know there’s no farm. I believe that Mallow will appear on the 2nd island, but her trial will be on the 3rd.
Can you show me this scene with the wooden bridge? I looked in both trailers and both sites and can’t seem to find it.
Who knows, really? I guess we’ll have to wait until CoroCoro, which will probably reveal another island’s name!
It’s in the Japanese trailer, when she shows up. It’s not so much a bridge, more so a wooden plank. 1:17 until it moves on to Sophocles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iaav6J6XzFs
And yeah, hopefully, I just have a gut feeling that’s where she’ll be. I dunno why she’d appear early only for her trial to be later on a different island, unless the others do so too.
That could be this:
Isn’t that where the water type captain is though?
That’s what I’m saying 😛
Oh ok
I guess, but it looks like it reaches to the other side in the clip, that it is connected, like a bridge.
It’s not the best clip. We’ll just have to wait until we get info
The fire dude has a marowak..hinting at another alola form?
Almost certainly the case imo.
http://fav.me/da9cryu
Personally I’m glad these are real. I really didn’t like any of the unova and Kalos evolutions apart from serperior. We’ve had lots of masculine starter Pokemon so I don’t see why a feminine one is such a shock, I love popplio 3. Also really like rowletts final, favourite grass final so far.
Poké Rides are the HM replacements, calling it now.
With that Sharpedo smashing that hard rock like nothing, I’m hoping we travel to a not so distant region that everyones been dying for it to be incorporated and tie some loose ends of its rushed story… like…*cough*Kalos*cough*
EDIT: as in surf there by breaking pbjects we would normally otherwise be unable to break
Isn’t it cute smashing rocks?
Yes. Hard rocks. You always need an adjective. 😛
He loves a good hard rock 😉
For a minute I thought the R in rock was a C
That’s the point ahah :p
Thats basically what happens to me when I look at Hala
i read that wrong omg
Haha that’s the point :p
*facepalm* you people
Not my fault I’m thirsty.
:O 😉
Soooo cute.
Is that mean fire type Marowak confirmed??? http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470061692097.png
Basically
Fire/ground would be cool
Ground/Fire
Water fairy ! 😉
No
Ah hun I’m only joking with you :*
Well I don’t like it
Soz hunni !
The damage is already done
Bby you need me. We are 2 of a kind.
Your the Ashley to my Mary Kate 😉
Gross and you’re just as bad as Chico
Chico and me are also like this.
He is the Kenan to my Kel
The wind beneath my barley 😉
i imagined Alolan Marowak to have a more tribal-ish skull head
With horns and face paint that is made from a special tar it finds
It wips up a spark from its bone and ignites its club and helmet
Love you x
I am best designer
exactly!
I imagine him by this way actually.
Seeing as they also mention traditional dances, I’m guessing It’s a fire dancer inspired variation of Marowak :S
Kingdom Key Exeggutor edition
Captain Mallow is an expert with Grass-type Pokémon. She loves cooking, but it seems that sometimes her taste is a bit particular…
That’s Mallow’s description from the website by the way
… Particular taste? She likes Pokemon meat?!
Or she’s vegan and eats her own Pokemon’s flowers
This is so much info help I love it but don’t at the same time… I don’t know how to digest this. I mean, I find the no gym leaders thing a little puzzling but we’ll see
