The trailer for Pokémon Sun & Moon has been released early (which made me pause Nathan for You) and contains information we saw from the leaks earlier today! Here’s a recap:
- Team Skull is revealed along with its leader Guzma and Admin Plumeria
- New Pokémon Wishiwashi and Pyukumuku are shown in battle, both with interesting animations (Innards Out, which does damage based on Pyukumuku’s health before the final blow that KOs it!)
- The trailer reveals one brand-new Pokémon Morelull
- We finally see Alolan Meowth, Raichu & Marowak in action. It is heavily implied Pikachu & Cubone do not have Alola forms
<3 PJ
The Ghost typing for Alola Marowak is obviously a reference to Cubone’s mother
Oh cool… And fire because she went to.. . ?
this comment killed me XD
Someone post it on tumblr!
Uh, nah. It is part of the weapon. XD
Because it adapted to the volcanic enviroment in its habitat
Alola Team:
Togetic
Rowlett(Final Evo)
Arcanine (Water Alolan)/ Pyukumuku ?
Raichu (Alolan) ?
Really didn’t want 2 Alolan forms. .. but if both turn out awesome.. well heck!
I am a genwunner! ?
No you’re not, you need 100% Kanto Pokemon for that. Including ditching the starter.
Lol. I’ll use a regular pikachu as my starter then. ..fine?
Nah, not enough. Togetic has to go. XD
And I know you won’t do that, so you’re not a geewunner.
I love that you love togetic (even though togepi’s cuter 😉 ). It’s like your starter in every game, right? I kind of have the same with zorua since it was released but not using him the first time I play SM)
Yup! ?
Lol…. And if you say so.. to that Togepi comment.
Togetic actually has good stats with eviolite and its moveset also. So it makes me happy ?
I had forgotten about eviolite! What moveset do you use?
Battle me in Sun&Moon and you will see! ?
Plus. .. I’m still working it out ?
Deal!
What kind of a genwunner wants to play Sun and Moon anyway?
That’s now something to be proud of????
Ugh… I rly like minior too… Doubt I’ll use though..
Less it gets Really speedy.. hmm

. And so on
Or at least stay under original comment
where did u watch that?
Am not atm, sharing from someone who is watching it. I usually wait till English subs are available.
If the localization team makes the members of team skull speak in a “hoodlum” type of way I’m gonna scream. In a bad way.
Well you see, those X&Y punks? That’s our clue if they will do it…
Sadly that’s exactly how they speak in the Japanese version.
I’ve started translitterating it.
They use phrases like ‘dazae’, ‘dayo’ and ‘atai’ which are typical hoodlum ways of speaking.
Ehhh I mean how they made Marlon speak… I don’t mind “thuggish”… I don’t like “f***boy”
Okay this is what I meant is annoying af
“Sup, you must be here to challenge the Pokémon Gym! I’m the Gym Leader, Marlon. Sorry to make you look for me, yo. I was swimmin’ with the Pokémon, and it felt real good, so I kept goin’ and goin’. I’ll be waitin’ in the Gym, ‘K?”
Marlon is trying too hard.
I think we missed many thing. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470896530688.png http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470908033333.gif
Lmao the second one is the reflection of the sailboat
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470906030086.png
that strange though i always thought that fish is actually Bruxish.
It is. You can clearly see it in high-quality versions 🙂
I was just wondering, if I have a Cubone in ORAS, and I were to evolve it in S/M; would the Marowak be Alolan or regular. Meaning only Alola native Cubone can become Alolan Marowak.
We probably wouldn’t know until we get to try it.
My money is on region locking (i.e. alolan cubone becomes alolan marrowak, imported cubone becomes normal marrowak)
Alolan Pikachu……unfortunately for u it’s fake. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470894597414.jpg
Well… This would be enough for me to at least not hate Pikachu that much. Looks quite good.
That would have been awesome. Seriously, Alola forms only make sense if the entire evolutionary line gets them, not just select parts of the line :/
That said, I’m suddenly struck by how Bald pikachu looks.
Maybe orange isn’t the best colour for a Pikachu.
Something tells me Wishiwashi isn’t going to be all that great :/
Defeatist. It may be a great candidate for a Z-Move though. Quick power.. sweep quickly
This episode once again highlighted what Ash’s Pikachu is capable of. No idea why the writers always reset it with a new region. Taking out two pseudo-legendaries like that, I’m speechless.
The lighting engine in this game is soooo much better than 6th Gen’s
The camera is Insane also!
Anyone noticed how Guzma has TWO bracelets? It could mean that he has a mega bracelet and a z bracelet, AND that megas are returning and there maybe new mega evolutions.
Ppl already believe there is a mega slot under the main bracelet
Good observation tho
Yeah I also heard about that
Alolan Raichu is basically the Silver Surfer
I need a Poison/Dragon based on a Chinese Dragon/Snake
We have a Poison/Dragon, Dragalge
I know and I love it, but I need one based on a Chinese Dragon or a snake
Pyukumuku. . . . -,- this name is too long, and hard to say. Even harder to spell. Ppl will refer to it as Pyu
I think it’s quite easy to remember and say.
Half of it is just u sounds.
For u..
Just be thankful it’s not John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt or Bonzoon Pidenpaddleopsockhopolis the 3rd
Just separate the name: Pyu – kumuku. Not complicated
Actually you’re supposed to give each syllable even stress, like in pi-ka-chu. So pyu-ku-mu-ku.
Ironically it’s like Makkapakka.
I said to separate it in order to memorize the name more easily, I didn’t say that’s how we’re supposed to pronounce it. My native language’s Portuguese and pronouncing Japanese names is not hard at all. (idk if pyu’s name is Japanese but it sure sounds like it)
Portuguese has a few similarities to Japanese.
Obrigado vs Arigatou for example.
(Literally the only Portuguese word I know)
I speak the Brazilian version, so open vowels are pretty easy for me. I’ll teach you a new one: Oi means hi 🙂 (I almost never speak Portuguese anymore so I’m not the best person to teach you the language haha)
Understandable.
I used to know a Portuguese man who moved to England. He anglicised his name to ‘John’ and if you met him you’d probably never realise he was Portuguese.
Sadly he died many years ago from cancer.
Oh, that’s sad :/
I live in France (here for uni but I’m probably going to stay around afterwards) and even though I speak French fluently people can recognize that I’m not French (little accent, but def not Brazilian). Same for English, I used to study at an American school in Brazil but I’ve actually never lived in an English-speaking country (I’ve been to London once for a few days but that’s it). I have a sis who’s studying in the US though
Yeah, I think it’s been about 9-11 years now.
Neat.
I’m not very good with speaking foreign languages. I can speak a bit of French, German and Japanese, but often get them mixed up.
Also most of my Japanese is impolite because I learnt most of it from watching subbed episodes of One Piece and Fairy Tail. n_n’
Luckily I’m better at programming, where I’m fluent in many ‘languages’ 😀
London is nothing like the rest of England. I’ve been there twice for day-trips and it felt like a foreign country. (Because of the way it’s built, not because of the people)
I love learning languages, but after my plans to go study in Japan didn’t work out I decided to stick to Latin languages which are easier for me. Currently learning Italian because I wanna go study there (I’m half Italian but I don’t speak it lol). Programming is something I could never do! Looks really complicated. And I actually really liked London, I love cities like that but I’m def going to visit other parts of England and the rest of the UK once I get the chance.
There’s pokemon with way harder names, like just about every legendary
I’ve been working on a translation but I’m not very good.
So far all I can confirm is that he’s definately referring to him and Kukui being similar and mentioning the Captains, so the quote about “fellow failed Captains” is almost certainly about Kukui and him.
Nobody cares ; n ;
You’re talking about the skull guy?
The boss of Team Skull, Guzuma.
Yeah, missed that bit out, woops 😛
Oh, so Kukui tried to be a captain but failed? Interesting..
I’m working on the rest but there’s a symbol I can’t identify. I recognise it but I can’t find my Japanese phase book so I’m working mostly from memory and internets.
So far I’ve found out that Plumeri claims that Team Skull are “in control” and they call her “ane” (elder sister). But I might be interpreting wrong, I’ve only ever had a few weaks of actualy lessons and most of my knowledge is just stuff I pick up from subbed anime n_n’
Team skull definately talk like misfits though. Probably one of the reasons it’s hard to translate – lots of informal stuff.
I used to study Japanese and every time I saw a kanji that I didn’t understand in a video (not possible to copy it) I used this website http://kanji.sljfaq.org/ (just write the kanji yourself then use a Japanese dictionary).
I don’t think it’s Kanji, but I can’t see it on the hiragana table. I’ve got a feeling it’s one of the R sounds though. It’s this one:
Which one is it? Is it hiragana or katakana?
Damn, copy paste didn’t work.
Uploaded to imgur instead:
http://i.imgur.com/ByN57O0.png
Ri. It’s ri but here’s just written in one stroke. (I think it’s a different font)
That explains it. The chart I was using to refresh my memory was using this alternate ri:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Japanese_Hiragana_kyokashotai_RI.png/75px-Japanese_Hiragana_kyokashotai_RI.png
At least my memory was right about it being an R sound 😀
Once you learn both alphabets for good you’ll probably remember them for life haha. Good luck with the kanji though, I’ve forgotten most of the ones I had learned
Katakana I can manage easily because they’re quite blocky and clear. Hiragana I can mostly get but the curls throw me off. Kanji I can remember most elemental words (fire, water, earth, air).
I’m about to post my entire attempt at translating Plumeri’s story text, so look to the new comments section.
So did Alan use 1 Pokemon from each gen? If so that’s so cool..
Too bad he didn’t train them as well ash Charizard.. on camera at least
Umm no he used two Gen.5 Pokemon his team is
Charizard
Tyranitar
Metagross
Weavile
Bisharp
Unfezant
123455
Pattern broken :C
I feel he could have added a power house Gen.6 like Gogoat, Avalugg, Pyroar, Pangoro, Trevanant but he uses Unfezant
Definately. Nobody likes Unfezant, it’s just an inferior Pigeot/Staravia 😛
Gogoat would have been my choice since that’s what I used on my playthrough. Did not regret that one bit. Thrashed Siebold easily 😀
Ironically my team actually turned out to be really good against the elite 4 despite me choosing them purely because I liked them, without knowing the E4’s typings. It only took me one attempt to beat the champion.
That’s cool my play through teams were
Chesnaught, Vivillon, Florges, Gogoat, Blastoise, Lucario, Sylveon, Carbink, Noivern

has this been posted? it’s from te new corocoro comic
It’s a fake.
It’s fake
Good to know
There’s even an entire article about it and its fakeness.
Havent been keeping up pn news lately, apologies
It was literally hours ago:
http://pokejungle.net/2016/08/10/rowlets-evolution-revealed-via-corocoro-leak/
I was there.
People got happy, then they got upset, then everyone forgot about it.
The end 😀
To be fair, even Paul thought it was legit, and I was convinced too. 🙂
I believe some of rumors said the team leader actually the Lillie’s father ……is Chinese rumor one of them? cuz that obliviously fake.
There was one that said that.
I don’t think it was the Chinese one, I’ll just check.
No, the Chinese leak was only about pokemon, Z stones and the lack of gyms.
good.
well guys,looks like tomorrow it’s going to be the big day,the English trailer for Pokemon Sun and Moon,Let’s cross our fingers this trailer will give us something cool! 😀
Well we’ve seen all the screenshots for the most part and the English trailer will just be the same as the Japanese for the most part – like how the Tapu Koko/Bruxish etc one was
No Alola Cubone 🙁 a ground type evolving into a fire/ghost type makes no sense. And neither does a fire/ghost Alolan variant being able to breed a regular ground type non-Alola variant. Its genes are supposed to have altered over time. GF didn’t think this through :/
See I told y’all they would muck up the system
It had so much potential…
And then they got greedy
Or lazy
Or…
“Where’s the guy who was supposed to make Alolan Cubone?”
“He started leaking pokemon, so we fired him.”
“Oh yeah, woops.”
Maybe Cubone has the genes but it needs to evolve for them to activate?
Ok, I’ve slogged through, this is what I’ve got so far.
People better at Japanese, please correct me:
atashi wa purumeri – I am Plumeri
sukarudan wo tabanete iru – Team Skull are in control
iunareba anegotte tokoro – So to speak they call me “ane” (elder sister)?
anta mo shitte no toori – in the same way that you know? (you as well know in the same way?)
(re/wa)nchyuu baka bakkari de nee – … stupid only with “nee” (sister)?
sateto atai no deban dane – now then, (it’s) my turn dane
I offer an (admittedly bad) full translation of what Plumeri says and nobody cares ; n ;
That’s the last time I attempt to offer people translations…
People dont care for Story details right now. Pokemon are more important..
From what I can tell from the translation is that this is possibly the first time the player meets Pulmeria.
It almost certainly is. same for Guzuma.
I think the most interesting thing about the translation is the way they talk though. Plumeri uses “atai”, which is a very informal version of “atashi”, really cementing the delinquent theme.
I’ve heard that a lot of the language they use tends to be slang. That’s pretty cool, we’ve got an evil team that’s not a professional organisation.
Yeah, it would make a nice change for a ‘gang culture’ villain instead of proper Yakuza/Mafia/Cultist style villains.
Well it looks like Guzma is clearly insane? lol
all the best people are crazy
They didn’t show the baby Bewear?
Apparently that + the sandcastles were “Corocoro exclusives” – like how Rockruff & Komala were
they still got put in trailers though… so maybe tomorrow
The english trailer is out and there’s no sign of them. Plus it was only later that the website was updated with the info of the two (I think it was with the Mudsdale video)
oh, I didn’t notice.. sorry
No need to apologise at all!
The whole Cubone to Alolan Marowak doesn’t make sense at the moment but that’s because for the most part, there isn’t much information on it.
What if you can only evolve Cubone with Kiawe/he gives you a native Cubone that has the potential to evolve into an A.’Wak? Maybe around the volcano, the Cubone learns dances that can summon the spirit of it’s deceased mother and upon evolution, being near to the fire & the spirits, it evolves? This combined with the fact that it’s trying to escapes the predators (maybe even Bewear seeing as it’s type counters it nicely)?
Maybe I’m just grasping at straws here but I’m sure there is a reason as to it’s typing
Maybe a Marowak Graveyard
Well the graveyard is on the same island as the active volcano (albeit opposite ends). Perhaps Kiawe is the one that sets up the memorial for Cubone/Marowak on the volcano where he trains
Pokemon usually don’t change their typing entirely upon evolution. Save for Eevee.
That’s why it’s weird a Ground Type Evolving into a Fire/Ghost type
If Marowack was Ground/Ghost or Ground/Fire it wouldn’t be a problem
Let it be said that I wanted ground/fire from the moment totem marowak was announced 😛
It’s too slow for that. It’d be instamurdered
Maybe they will evolve like Nosepass: Only in that volcano or something…..
Weird, but it’ll have an unique evolution method, I think…
