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
If the Evil Team is removed, I’m cancelling my pre-orders. Then there’s no point in the games at with the loss of an antagonist. So much changes. DrunkFreak, you better not fucking take that out, you pigs! Ohmori I think was smoking weed with Masuda when they were making this game.
Throwing a Tyrantrum i see.
a bit much don’t ya think?
You have until November 17 to cancel it! Give it some time.
Are you saying a Pokemon game that’s simply about exploration and adventure isn’t enough for you? lol
oh c’mon, you won’t buy the game because of the lack of a generic anime antagonist?
Yeah, the antagonists are usually very generic and are hardly the best part of the game. I liked gold and silver for having very little team rocket in it.
Still love Team Galactic and Team Plasma tho 🙂 <3
team galactic was the best in my opinion
I’ll agree with you there 🙂 They were goofy yet dangerous at the same time for me. Plus, I still shiver every time Cyrus talks about his plans. Just removing spirit to make his own world seems so inhuman to me.
But I love Team Plasma for the same reasons. 🙂
Team Plasma was nice because of the fact they had N who spoke to me as a character
N was amazing 🙂 same with me there, I really related to him as I feel I was sort of like him in the past. Only seeing one way for the good of others. But I’ve learned there are other ways and one way may not be good for everyone.
Plus, his relationship was his father is what I have with my own self at times. :3
I loved it when he left Unova. I was all crying like pls don’t go. I literally walked all over Unova to find him post game.
Those two are really more of the exception than the rule 🙂
True, but they do have generic elements to them 🙂
Remember there was also the rumor Lillie’s father is the main villain.
Just breathe. Be calm. I don’t think they’ll get rid of an antagonist (there has to be some sort of conflict, conflict drives plot after all!) but even if they did, I don’t think it’s worth not giving SM a shot. They look to be amazing games. 🙂
-Gives TM for calm mind-
This is not the end of the world, trust me
Fomantis this name is so familiar for me ??….I believe I read it in some rumors help me ppl …..my brain didn’t work will.
More
Lol
Looks like I’ll be using a starter from the previous generation, probably cyndaquill. This will be a first but oh well.
Oh my goodness, I didn’t know what to expect for today’s news but this was amazing! I’ll give you my opinions because I didn’t comment on the last article:
-Alola Forms, oh my gosh I have wanted something like this for SO LONG! I love the ice type ninetails and sandslash lines! They look really cool! *ice pun* Executor is hilarious as well!
-Z attacks, no surprises at this point, pretty much what I thought they would be. The attack names are too cheesy imo
-New Pokemon, I really like the little meteor, it has a cool typing and it’s REALLY CUTE. The others are fine…
-Riding Pokemon! Looks really awesome, soaring on charizard confirmed?
I really love Oriocorio for the different designs/forms it has, and Fomantis and Lurantis look amazing as well <3
I love oriocorio as well! I love things like vivion that have a lot of different forms.(I just forgot it existed, so many new things to think about, you know?)
Yeah, totally, and it’s a lot of info for your brain to process, no worries
I would love i but there is no African tribe looking version
Lmao
No to two final evolutions for each starter… Just no!!
I agree, and I doubt that the company would do so to the starters.
That would be cool for all those who hate Fire/Fighting (99%) and all those who do (1% GF)
Yes. Especially for those who don’t like the current forms.
If alola abra line is becoming fighting type, maybe they will reverse things and make machop line go psychic.Can you imagine that?! My head is spinning with theories.
Ok so going off the leaks it says that the day and night system doesn’t work the way it has in the past. I knew I was right about it! Every time they show the battle with Hau on the platform it’s been sunset. I think they are going to a regulated day night system where certain events take over and make it be a a particular time of the day in game. I imagine there will be an in game clock that keeps track of things rather than using the clock from the 3DS. I wonder what it’ll be like. Every hour is a day? or maybe it changes more frequently and then stops based on an event you have to trigger? Could be very interesting. It will also allow people that can only play at certain times of the day to see very time of the day in game.
OMG Night is Day and Day is Night
Up is down, black is white, dogs are in relationships with cats!!! We’re in the apocalypses!!!!!
It could work like Xenoblade where each minute is an in-game hour.
This ^
That reminds I still have to finish Xenoblade lol
I got stuck about halfway through and gave up for now lol
I still have to buy it xD
I’m like level 12 and just completely forgot I had it lol. So many other games I’m playing
You’ve got a long way to go, then.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking. It would allow them to keep things organized, but also be able to stop at a specific time of the day for events and such.
Oh btw, I think the electric Trial Captain might’ve invented the Rotom dex
Professor Kukui is the one who invented and created the Rotom Dex. This has already been confirmed.
He could have collaborated with Sophocles though. Especially with the technology part of the Rotom Dex
Sophocles is a clemont wannabe
Clemont is a tool
Clemont was boring imo
Yes, while they seem to be similar, personality-wise, they are different. Clemont is more friendly, while Sophocles seems to be more grumpy and antisocial in a way.
Point is, just because two characters have certain things in common doesn’t make them the same character.
Also he looks like a kid. That big one from Detective Conan to be precise
What? Who said they were the same?
Sorry if I interpret it that way, but when I hear the words ‘wannabe’ I just think you’re saying that the character is exactly the same as the character you compare it to. (In your case, that Sophocles is exactly like Clemont)
Sorry if I misinterpreted, the Internet can be confusing at times. 🙂
Alola is just trying to be an in-game orange islands, i mean variations of old pokemon, gym leaders work with trials instead of battling and there are 4 islands
Does anyone else think that Alola Form Ninetails should have been Ice/Ghost instead of Ice/Fairy due to its lore? It was the perfect opportunity! Also, why haven’t we talked about the amazing remix of the Wild Battle theme for the Totem Pokemon?
Alola ninetales looks the same as regular ninetales. It’d would have been amazing if it became ghost or dark type so it could be pitch black instead.
TRUE! That would have been SO COOL! Plus the new music from this trailer was really good, as with the rest of the new songs for the game 😉
Well technically they revere Alolan Ninetales as a sacred emissary of the gods and it is like mythic protector of the frozen peaks. Makes it seem much more like a nature spirit fairy type than a ghost or psychic.
True.. probably wanted to cover new dual types, which I appreciate.
Well, I’ll probably be just a quadruped Froslass in that case?
theyre releasing a snowman thats ghost and ice type
Dodrio with Close Combat… goodbye Staraptor
And gale wings pls!!
Urrrrrrrrrgh y no dark type until now ??? I would be ok if Litten final evo is fire/dark though.
With Exeggutor getting frisk, that’s a sign its stats are getting bumped up
Whats the type of littens evo(please not fighting….)
Likely Fire/Dark.
Yes please, and please dont become bipedal.
I would like to believe that but hes using wrestling moves
Fire/ground
I hope that not only Kanto Pokemon will get the Alola form treatment, but it seems that way! Anyways, I know I commented about HMs already, but after reading the site it details a feature called Poke Ride. Your able to call upon rideable Pokemon at any time without needing to own them. I’m assuming that Sharpedo and Lapras will replace Surf, Charizard will do regular Flying and Soaring, and others would just be rideable for fun and to traverse new areas. I’m sure the HMs will now become TMs!
Atleast I might have a reason to use Ratata and Raticate
I would love to hear what Pokemon you’d like to see get Alolan forms, I would personally love to see Aipom or the Chansey line get one, but I don’t know what types they could be
When I think animal diversity I think of the Galapagus tortoise, so either Torkoal or Torterra could have a new typing/appearence. That and the Hippocampus Rapidash are all I can think of right now :3
omg I can totally see Torkoal getting a new form!!! and would love that!!!
I was hesitant when they showed off the Alolan pokemon differences. I still am (why not just change a few things and make it a new species?) but so far these changes are all very interesting and will make for a really different, fun Pokemon game.
The most annoying thing about this game is that there will be another… ANOTHER f**king electric type gym leader. Well so far my predictions have been going well.
but their not gym leaders tho…
Well we’ve yet to see if they will start gyms. Idk, I’ll edit it if things change.
Awesome, participants of the Island Trials are given this charm. And Pokémon Centers in Japan will sell real ones.
Do we know the names of the ISLANDS? YELLOW, PINK PURPLE, RED?
Could be 🙂 I really love the charm though, really hope they sell them on Pokemon Center :3
Just another brain wave where two and two could be brought together, but all the Alolan Pokemon are Kanto Pokemon so far and the main player is not native – could be from Kanto, especially as mum has a Meowth (can’t remember if this was confirmed or just a theory), also RBY transferable capabilities with S&M and finally in the leak it mentioned the S.S.Anne, could this be the post game to rival Gen II?
Perhaps I’m late, but:
“Kiawe is a captain whose expertise is in Fire-type Pokémon. Together
with his Marowak, he studies the traditional dances that have been
passed down in the Alola region.”
Fire Marowak, maybe?
Has everyone seen the Japanese trailer? Is has some new music and scenes in it:
http://youtu.be/Iaav6J6XzFs
I wish i could speak japanese. I only know the important words atleast, Oppai, Onii-chan (-sama), otaku, Oppai, etc.
I’ve already seen it. I make it habit to watch both the Japanese and English trailers. The Japanese trailers usually have more content.
I was really worried at first when I saw that thumbnail, but my opinion changed very quickly!
Also, only thing I actually disliked in the trailer was Alolan Exeggutor.
Really… why? Those proportions are horrible.
In basketball terms you would call that perfect
It would have been better to create another palm tree pokemon imo
It’s like Exeggutor is trying to one-up Tropius.
OH so GameFreak thinks they can replace me with another palm tree pokemon? What this new guy is super tall!? I’ll beat him at his own game.
Ikr i wonder if alolan tropius is extra tall lmao
Basically, the “normal” Exeggutor has stunted growth. This is the form we were always meant to see. It makes more sense this way, I think.
The sun thing makes no sense either way as hoenn is supposed to be as tropical as alola yet there are no “hoenian” tall exeggutors but whatever lel
Humidity and other aspects unique to Alola probably play a role as well. You have a good point though, I’m just spitballing now.
It still looks like a Palm tree to me, just one with the appropriate length-ed neck. LOL
It scares me. Just image being chased by that! You can’t avoid that long neck!
Ax it
Ax it what?
I think you meant Axew it
You went full Earthen there, very extreme.
You would be chased by a man eating coconut dragon. Wtf would you do?
Go to rehab for my drug abuse?
Chase IT DOWN
Hack off the neck, prey the coconuts off and feast
Fire Marowak is coming
Did anyone else mention how we have another Island name: Akala? I looked it up and it translates to Pink. Seems we won’t have a RBYG island theme
Pink is simply neon red
I did actually think that as well, haha
Raves & Ibiza in Alola confirmed
Welp, it was fun to theorize about, at the very least.
But I’ll still hang on to it, pink is a lighter red after all. 🙂
I stated that. So far we have Mememele (Yellow) and Akala (Pink). I’m guessing the last three are Red (Ula Ula), Orange (Alani), and White (Ke oke oh).
Look below, the bag charm thing has a yellow triangle, a pink one and a red one
