8/12 New Pokémon Sun & Moon Trailers

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

    • If dein looked closely at the preview, it’s not raining when Greninja uses the shuriken. And I hate that everyone calls it a fire shuriken cause it’s orange. Anyway, I think Pikachu loses to Charizard, then Goodra comes out as well as Bisharp. BIshard uses Thunder Wave to paralyze it, and Ash use Rain Dance to cure it and beat Bisharp, Then Mega Charizard comes out and beats Goodra, Then it’s Charizard vs Ash-Greninja.

  1. Oi I just had a thought I’m a seasoned veteran trainer, I’ll probably fuss over my Starter’s nature and probably want to EV train it ASAP

    Luckily my first Chespin was Impish and my Mudkip was adamant

  2. Tbh I’m still not sure how I feel about the removal of gyms and potentially the E4. Here’s to having a revisiting of Kalos…

        • One of the best things GF did in gen 5 is how they handle the evil team, well, BW at least. That would be amazing to see something similar in this gen. Altough I will miss a potential Elite 4… Hell, even gyms….

          • From the looks of it, Gen 7 might replace Gen 5 as best Gen in my opinion just because it’s so much different from other games. Graphics wise and Pokémon wise and everything.

          • Well, gen 5 is amazing, but not flawless… I actually think the Unova starters terá are the worst of the bunch… Only gen that I completely switched a starter for another mon in a playthrough, especially um B2/W2…

  3. Okay I can’t take this! Alolan raichus animation is insane, it’s design is so cute and cool and different without going overboard. The psychic typing to me makes zero sense but I don’t even care! I haven’t used a raichu sense I was 9 in the Hoen region so it’ll be really interesting to using a psychic one now that I’m an adult. Can’t wait ^_^
    With so many pokes revealed I can finally start formalizing my team. So far..

    -Alolan Raichu (unless a cooler electric type is revealed)
    -Either litten or sandlit depending on evolutions
    -mimikyu if it evolves
    -alolan sandslash if a better steel type isn’t revealed

  5. Team Skull is my favourite Villain Team so far just for their attitude and theme.

    They don’t seem to be try hard like Team Galactic or Flare either, they’re just a bunch of thugs.

  6. So I was watching some trailers with my friend who used to play Pokemon and he said ‘They’re running out of ideas’ after seeing Minior. Well this is what I say to those people, “Gen 1 had a Pile o’ Crap and a 6-Pack of eggs, they couldn’t have run out of ideas then because they just started.” and now these people are saying they’re running out of ideas. Geez.. (I don’t have anything against Muk and Exeggcute)

  7. so wait Pyukumuku finds a spot and loves it forever, once we catch it arent we bascially ruining its chances of happiness by removing it from its one true love the spot? or will it just try to run away everytime we summon it XD. that totally needs to be a anime episode

  8. So, unrelated to SM, but do any of you have Pokemon GO nests in your area? I don’t near my house, but I’m going to a Ponyta nest soon, I’m interested to see just how populated with Ponyta it is.
    P. S. Does anyone know what the best GO IV calculator is?

  9. I just now realized something. Wasn’t one of the rumored Alolan variants Poison/Fighting type Nidoking and Nidoqueen? What if those are the aces of Guzma and Plumaria. That’d be really cool.

    • No, she’s a “big sister” figure.
      She takes on the role of the person in charge, but without being an adult herself and without being motherly.
      The original Japanese term was “ane” I think.
      Japan has a lot of cultural roles they attempt to translate, but it usually only works if you make the effort to research them.

    • To expand on what Pharap said, the reason she called herself ‘ane’ is because that’s probably what the other grunts call her. You normally use ‘onee-chan’ for big sister, but ‘ane’ is for your own big sister.
      Consider her dialogue. She seems to really care about the other grunts, so it’s easy to see why they call her that.
