Sun & Moon Speculation Pt. VIII: A Villa Revisited

I know I can’t be the only one that was pumped about the idea of the villa in Pokemon Platinum – a whole home I get to decorate?! For free?! Of course, it was a bit of a disappointment in execution and options for decor were extremely limited. With Pokemon Sun & Moon adding an emphasis on resort culture to the game, we’re left to wonder if perhaps our Trainer will receive access to yet another place to make their own.

Villa - Pokemon Platinum

Secret Bases made a return in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, with additional features to make the concept even more… super. Given the recent remodel of bases and trainer customization returning, it’s foreseeable that we’ll see some enhancements to both areas. It would also be a simple and unobtrusive way to give a nod to Gen 4 and its impending remake (is it too early to get hyped?!).

Now here’s the real fun – what features would they add to get us excited for our humble abode? And what form will said abode be taking?

In ORAS we were given easier sharing functions to make our Bases more accessible via Street Pass and QR Codes. Pokémon is continuously striving to make our experience a collective one, so furthering our ability to share locations and show off our homes would be an obvious route to take. It could even become a new way to share Friend Codes – stumble upon a Trainer’s dwelling and get the option to copy their Friend Code to your 3DS – or perhaps a way to make your Trainer PR video even more personalized with an option to shoot on location.

super-secret-baseLeveling up Secret Base features could also enhance your own personal journey in Alola, combining Capture the Flag and the Secret Pals battling with such features as Pokemon-Amie and Super Training to give trainers even more ways to strengthen their team. Of course, any additions in the Villa will be moot if they don’t expand our options for interior design (isn’t the point of Pokemon to become a renowned decorator? Have I been playing wrong all along?)

In regards to the physical aspects of our hypothetical new house, it’s safe to assume that a side character (maybe we’ll meet Aarune again!) would gift Trainers the space. The Pokemon world is known for it’s free real estate, after all. Its location could really be anywhere at this point, but something tells me that pretty white resort we saw in our first glimpse at Sun and Moon isn’t central to the plot.

We’ve got a while until we have any real answers about which of the bonus features will get touched up or included in Generation 7, but luckily our imaginations are allowed to run wild for the time being. Until we hear more, I’ll be deciding what color scheme will go best with my new ocean view.

How would the rest of you feel about a new Resort House? And more importantly, how would you make it your home? Let us know down below!

  1. Am I the only one that doesn’t want GF to remake DP? I’d be all for it if they made a sequel or remade platinum but DP were just incomplete games and platinum took them and made them great. If they pull another ORAS with DP then no thanks. Just my opinion though 😛

    • Mixed feelings. I’d love to revisit the Sinnoh region, but if they’re gonna do remakes they need to go all out. Platinum just told the story better..I would love sequels more though.

    • I want them to remake Diamond and Pearl so they can explore the concept of niche evolution even further. They can open up undiscovered areas high up on Mt. Coronet or deep underground where Sinnoh Forms exist. I’d like if this can focus more on Pokemon other than those from Kanto, like Johto, Hoenn and Unova.

    • I agree. ORAS were not great games, because they took none of the improvements from Emerald. Magma base in Mt. Chimney, Wallace as champ, Steven hidden champ, Battle Frontier e.t.c

      Also I would have much preferred an Emeral remakes cos of all the cool things they could have done with Magma/Aqua rivalry, plus the emerald cutscene in Sootopolis. Ah well, wasn’t meant to be.

      It really annoyed me cos the whole point of remakes is to improve on the originals with newer ideas/ concepts, while keeping the core (story) the same.

    • I only want remakes because I could never really enjoy the originals and I feel like remakes would fix almost all of the problems I had with it, even though I played through it I feel like I never really experienced it, even though I did…. weird eh

  5. Hey there for those who don’t know who I am I’ve been looking at Pokejungle recently and I do like this community you all have, it looks unique and cool as opposed to previous ones I’ve seen, like Serebii. So I’ve decided to join Pokejungle because this seems a lot of fun, so I want to say hello to everyone!

  6. Ohhh.. . Omg you guys. Didn’t think of it til now. But seeing that Ash Greninja is in game… A sychro ev pokemon.. What if certain Pokemon Ie. Starters and Rockruff Synchro evolve after using a Z-Move. This would explain the rumor each starter has 2 evos.
    This would also explain the obsession with Megan Water Shuriken in the anime.. . Its his Z-Move.. he always leads with. Ohhhh.. I think I am right. Tbh. N the rumours Did Not say specifically no Synchro evs or hint at it to whoever told me that. I read it all.
    Oh an TyranitarTube helped me piece this together when he called Ash Greninjas Z moves water shuriken

    Reply
    • This would Definitely make using a z stone more valuable than other items with certain pokemon.. maybe they can use their z move more than once!

      Reply
      • Thank you! ^_^ It really pieced together for me when I thought back to how Ash Greninja’s Shuriken turn Huge and Bright Red .. like a super move.. in the anime.
        Ashs power is to bring out his pokemons Z Power without a stone. Not their mega evolution.

  7. It leads the curiosity of one to see all the unique dances of each Z-move the trainer does. If you haven’t noticed, it’s very unique hand and arm gestures for each move, which i think may in fact be based on dances and tai-chi. It’s a very clever little subtle thing you may not have noticed or may have observed but never really considered, or if you’re an admirer of subtle details like me, enjoyed to see in Pokemon.

  8. Nothing in this entire world pisses me off more then a Pokemon that takes more then 10 pokeballs to catch in red health!!!!! NOTHING!!!

    PS. It wasn’t a legendary

  9. Magearna can’t be end of list. Because, she acted in 19th movie. Do not use in a film not included in the Pokemon series at the end of the list.
