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
Pyukumuku is something you switch in on a suspected Z move. It’s gets OHKO’d and takes the attacker down with it.
It’s like the FEAR pokemon in a way.
More in switch in bait
Wumbo.
I Wumbo, you wumbo, he she me wumbo
I knew you had the switch set to W ! 😀
This makes me want to play Battle for Bikini Bottom or DK 64 for some reason
Sure why not, great games they are !
Try and guess my favorite kongs
BfBB is SO Good!
Thats a damn good idea, I’m going to steal it 😛
The Team Skull theme is pretty cool, but also weird and I think it’d be better without the chanting.
I like it with the chanting, reminds me of the Ghetsis theme. But hey to each their own.
It’s pretty funky and hip. I’ll have to hear more of it.
I freaking Love the creepy chanting!
I see you updated your Togetic picture
Yes! Because most ppl seem to be updating theirs hehe
I like it, I think… kind of got Splatoon vibes of it though.
I’m going to vanish now before I get dragged into any more discussions lest I never be able to leave.
It’s official, the entirety of Pokejungle is a trap.

Aye its Paul lol
He did ask to be on to be fair.
So what? Joe is boring (no offense) XD….
Love Joe’s observations, but his South Coast British accent is really hard to grasp lol
honestly forgot he was British until he started talking.
Yeah he’s from Bournemouth
Wow that’s really close to where my grandparents live (Poole)! My mom grew up in Weymouth, but neither she nor her parents have an accent like that!
It makes me want to vomit and I like accents.
True… he also is the kind of guy to go by the facts, which I like….
Hears Paul: OOOOOH YAY
Hears Joe: uuuuuugh
Paul: OMG I’M SO FUN AND STUFF
Joe: ew I’m boring Where’s my tea I like to act superior BOW TO ME
Lol…’where’s my tea’.
I see what you did there.
Hau doesn’t deserve Alola Raichu, he’s a Sawyer lookalike. Cant stand him.
I keep telling y’all that this kid would be annoying
Want to shoot him in the kneecaps
Fine you get the kneecaps I’ll go Gallagher on his melon

What?
They look nothing alike
Why do people always have to hate nice people?
They got it coming
For what?
He’s a fraud who tried to imitate Ash. And he got all these fancy mons he didn’t deserved
Aren’t we talking about Hau? Plus he caught them himself, it’s not a matter of deserving.
I hate Hau because he always smiles.
You must be a depressing person. Kukui also smiles all the time.
No I love Kukui
So what’s the difference between them? Both are Happy-go-lucky guys.
Like I said Hau reminds me of Sawyer
And Sawyer wasn’t even a bad character. He gave Ash a run for his money, progressed very quickly, and was a pretty good strategist.
Meh didn’t liked him. But tbh I’m half asleep in bed, so I’m prone to make silly remarks now. Probably wont remember this convo in a few hours.
No, he tried to learn from Ash. Sawyer was brilliant. Shown as a trainer who actually improves from his experiences. Exactly what everyone wants Ash to do.
To be fair, no one deserves Alolan Raichu. Biggest cop out in Pokemon history.
I’ve already claimed it. Pikachu line is MINE
So, Raichu floats on its tail because it.. ate too many sweet and fluffy round pancakes?
It floats because of the psychic energy being channeled into the tail
The reason WHY it has Psychic abilities is a load of EFFING TAUROS
Satoshi’s F-Tauros?
Get out
Gamefreak:
Exec 1: GUYZ, wut if we took Raichu…and have it stand on its tail
Exec 2: But…why?
Exec 3: Because…because..surfing pikachu and stuff! So like Raichu can surf but on its tail now!!
Exec 2: So it’d be Electric/Water?
Exec 1: No, idiot…it becomes a psychic type because reasons. Duh, it makes sense. Its an adaptation..don’t you know how those work?
Exec 3: Let’s troll them too. Gav what you have for breakfast today…
Uh…pancakes?
Pancakes give Psychic powers. You heard it here first folks
Seriously though, the pancake theory is just one of those folk tales that the people of Alola tell each other since the real reason is currently unknown.
Not saying that makes it any better, but it’s something.
Those dumblocks need better explanations
Alolan Ninetales should’ve been Ghost
Sandslash shouldn’t be part steel
Marowak should’ve been born by volcanic ash via new evolution
Raichu should have a detail based on breeding and increased brain activity via increased electrical stimuli
I agree about Ninetails and Raichu.
I disagree with the rest. Sandslash and Marowack are fine (apart from the Cubone fiasco)
And if they were to be steel they need a better reason
An icy she’ll as hard as steel don’t fly by moi
It works for me. The claws kind of also look steel.
Should have said something along the lines of, claws developed into razor sharp steel to allow it to easily cut through the ice.
You always make sense.
No duh I put so much time thought and energy into this kinda stuff, at least I could be revered for it
Earthen Sensei
My theory is that Sandslash was part steel to resist the cold where it resided, then the ice and snow created an ice coating over the steel, hence the Ice/Steel typing.
And why should Ninetails be part Ghost?
I kinda wanted Raichu to be a DNA experiment gone wrong and resulted the psychic abilities
Correction: PanQUAKES
@charzking:disqus
I can trade if you’re ready
But I won’t be available 9-10:30 your time
Any Kingdom Hearts fans? KH13 just tweeted an exclusive spoiler regarding the Lingering Will.
Yes and I’ve lost all track of KH III since they’re taking forever with it.
Lol its coming Q1 2017
Right now it is.
My rule of thumb is don’t announce games at E3 unless you’re showing a new console or it’s planned to come out within a year and a half. Same with Kickstarter, look at how MN9 turned out.
Exactly.
Yes, and same as Bastiodon
So about the last about the leaks, the snowman, dolphin and rugby monkey
dis snowman I have some ideas I know people are saying Ice/Ghost but I’m trying to run down the leaks because some say Ice/Ghost and others I’m trying to figure whose right
Anywho I’m modeling my idea on Japanese folklore of Yuk Jiji the old man of the snow which was basically an avalanche causing spirit
Which works perfectly since Alola has such a perfect snow mountain that’s bound to crumble, so what we can do is a Ice/Ghost Snowball/Snowman/monster that builds power from packing snow into its bodies ergo its new ability that either increases its attack and defense when hit by ice moves or that it changes form in an hailstorm
It readies itself on snowy cliffs and tumbles down to try and scare opponents and if that doesn’t work it uses the avalanche to build its power to fight back
Which would you have preferred?
Alolan Persian or Mega Persian?
(Don’t know why the artist named it Mysian.)
Alola!
Alola, but I would have wanted the Mega Persian design for Arcanine
Why is it ghost though?
I dunno. ‘Twas the artist’s decision.
Wait bran is remembering
I had another dream and I saw a Alolan Persain soot grey, with a menacing scowl and on the forehead with a cluster of jewels on the forehead, a ringlet of gold and silver around each paw and long buttery fur
Dark/Rock or would Dark/Steel be slightly better
You don’t accept Alolan Sandshrew and Alolan Sandslash as Ice/Steel-types, but you’d be alright with Alolan Persian being a Dark/Steel-type?
The Royal constantly surrounded them with riches promoted the process, the coin on their head reacted to the riches whatever I’m trying to work with the fuzzy diseased bog that I call my brain
I hereby dub thee Earthy, the Bog-Brain.
Do that and I’ll eat your limbs
That’s exactly what a Bog-Brain would like to do.
Just seen the Ash vs Alain episode. Very interesting but a few nit picks. Careful for SPOILERS
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I would have had TalonFlame beat Unfezant, then Metagross finish off TalonFlame and be recalled for Bisharp. Goodra vs Bisharp could have ended in a draw, then Pikachu could have taken out Metagross
As it stand both of Alains Pseudo Legends didn’t get a single win each. I guess that’s the price you have to pay when you have to pave the way for Mega Charizard X.
DID ASH BECOME CHAMPION?
It concludes next week
So there hasn’t been a winner yet? Dang.
Nope. Alain is down to his last 2, Ash still has 3, albeit one very worn out.
im still laughing over the fact that pikachu got murdered by metagross and 2 min later “nvm im fine” and just rips apart metagross
Metagross was destroying Pikachu. That stupid rat has the most OP plot armour.
i s2g pikachu defense EV and IVs are over 252
Well not for nothing Electric types resist Steel
“Pikachu uses a Non-STAB physical not very effective move against Metagross”
“Metagross faints”
So, from what I’m getting at the evil team leader failed at being a trial captain, or Kahuna, or whatever it is and wants to do away with old traditions in favor of new ones?
So he forms his own evil elite four with him as the champion, so you have to make your own in order to challenge him.
Has anyone seen this floating around?
It was proven fake
I was looking at Morelull what if it’s an upside down evolution???
The last thing we need is this getting a evolution quite literally anything with Spore gets annoying fast
Except maybe Parasect Paras is actually somewhat viable in LC
But spore is just trouble
Does Breloom bring back bad memories?
And fresh wounds, seriously that thing is a beast
It’s gotta have an evo. You, I, and Arceus know it.
I just realized that in the future, people playing ROMs of XY will never be able to get Malamar.
Sux to be them
I must say that Team Skull has grown on me immensely over the past day, especially with that new theme from the trailer which is absolutely PHENOMENAL. Maybe one of my favorite villainous themes in the series thus far.
I’m honestly surprised about all the positive reception the music has gotten. I’m so confused, I know people have different tastes, but I’d go so far to say that it’s the worst Pokemon theme I’ve heard.
To each their own, I guess. It gives off the villainous vibe that we need from S/M, and I personally can’t wait to see how the team will develop.
I weird because I’m the only one I’ve seen that hasn’t loved it. It’d be different if it was like half and half but I just think it’s funny how my opinion varies so greatly from others.
It’s okay. I’m generally one of the only ones who thinks the alola forms are overall bad so far, save a few.
Im a tiny bit dissapointed we have a villainous team though. Not sure what I would want instead, but Alola is so beautiful and happy and I don’t want them ruining it with their tudes. However, their negativity might make me want to beat them even more.
I’m the exact opposite. I honestly love it, and I can’t stop listening to it!
Everyone does. I’m shocked.
https://youtu.be/QfNHWDePQCc
It just screams punk, and they mean gritty business
I really think I’m going to be sad to have to end such a delightful devision of dastardly delinquents
And maybe this alliteration outbreak with end
To add on, this is the encounter theme. iirc, each team has an encounter theme (the theme that plays when you’re in the overworld with them) and a battle theme. This is probably the battle theme:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WObUZBYxf0o
i notice pokemon sun and moon music always has a start up music then real theme
Believe me when I say that they’ll be the most satisfying team to obliterate.
I love both of them <3 I should probably go back to the videos and replay their parts so I can hear it xD
The best Pokemon by far in this game is the Alola Vulpix.
Wrong, Mudsdale
http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/dis3.gif
This is an opinion, but imo I like Salandit or Mudsdale the best….
Of course is my opinion, we all create an account to express or own opinion as well. I don’t speak for every fan in the whole franchise…
I like more this game than Pokemon X or YYeah man! This is essentially why we’re here. To express our opinion and discuss it with the rest of the users here!
My fav is Vikavolt. Two of my favorite types, plus it just looks like it’ll wreck you.
http://38.media.tumblr.com/92a7c4e0253a46a38912c6114f370f69/tumblr_inline_nq1obyAEW11qc22fu_500.gif
Weak to stealth rock and fire
And it doesn’t look too defensive so a decent bulky ground with Rock Slide or even better Stone Edge would kill
Unless they be jerks and let it learn Giga Drain for whatever stupid bug reason
I don’t care about battling prowess. The design is great. It’s not like I’m going to send it against a rock type anyway lmao
Nearly everyone carries a rock move
Doesn’t matter to me
Not everyone plays competitive.
I usually find him attractive. . . ?
http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/lkrwtf.gif
My is Komala
I honestly forgot about it
if it was ground type you wouldnt have
I gotta agree with Earthen, Komala is probably the most forgettable so far along with bouncsweet and togedemaru.
who?
Because it was never featured in a trailer
That’s true
Narkoala!
WRONG it’s Guzma
I love the ridiculousness of Alolan Exeggutor. Also the beast that is School Form Wishiwashi
The Alola Exeggutor is a little strage bro… >.<
Haha.. That’s why I love it. It’s a daring design decision from GF who can be a bit ‘safe’ sometimes. And the origin of it makes the most sense out of all the Alolan forms I think.
sandcastle pokemon disagrees
“Too Normal”
IGN 1.0
Which is ironic considering that it’s mostly a recolor.
This may be plain and not unique, but I feel like Rowlet is the best. Actually scratch that, I like Oricorio the best.
Alola Raichu is my favourite.
Not counting Alola forms my favourite is either Vikavolt or Mimikkyu.
Theme ranking: Skull > Flare > Galatic >> Neo Plasma > Plasma >>>>>> Aqua/Magma > Rocket
https://media.giphy.com/media/131HyNiD4Fmuic/giphy.gif
We literally no close to nothing, how can you make an informed decision?
because after hearing team skull theme, my face was cleanse, my crops were harvested, my fears were gone. It so good
???
It made my ears bleed.
…. Glitter? We know. . Ours too
They bled poison.
Yum
Flare too high
what your ranking?
Plasma = Galactic > Neo Plasma > Aqua/Magma > Rocket > Skull > Flare
Skull could rank up, but for now I’m putting it there till I play the games.
Mine is
Skull >Galactic >Rocket > Magma/Aqua > Plasma >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Flare
Galactic=Skull=BothPlasmas>Magma=Aqua>Rocket>Flare
Team Flare is the worst. Too much orange
You da gif king/queen
i give credit to tumblr, giphy and my knowledge of reality tv
This gif is a bit irrelevant though.
not really. is basically saying that no matter what other people say, im still stuck with my opinion.
I see it if someone was arguing with you, or if what you said warranted a reaction, but it doesn’t really work this time IMO. ;~;
I completely agree with everything but plasma’s placement as I really loved their theme! I’d put them above galactic and tied with flare
So far, it’s gotta be
Galactic>Skull>Plasma>Neo Plasma>Flare>Aqua/Magma>Rocket
Anyone else see dragonite and zubat are next? Its on the japanese website!
What…
If I’m not mistaken go look!
It’s true on Pokemon’s Japanese Website. There’s a picture of Dragonite and Zubat in the Alola forms section
Link because I can’t read Japanese
Hold on. I’ll post a Picture
http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/pokemon/160812_07.html
ElectivireMan mentioned this before, look where Dragonite and Zubat are.
(I couldn’t post a picture so here’s a link)
Oh wow! Good find you all!
I’m gonna be walking around with a Full Alolan team if they keep it up. .. ???
But they already showed Zubats regular evo.. hmm..
I think I’ll stick with my Crobat on gen 2 team
I’m confused, why are there old Pokemon on the SM page? Sorry if it obvious, my brain is fried right now.
Making way for their alolan forms…. Or mega! But zu isn’t full evo
So we’re getting them soon? Also that’ll be so weird if we get Alolan golbat but not Alolan Crobat. That’ll make me pretty angry, I can already tell.
They just showed regular Crowbat on Team Skull too..
Weird indeed
I’m still extremely skeptical
@charzking:disqus
We can trade now. I added you.
Somebody translate…..please
https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/763910394263969792
They’re getting Alolan forms….
Basically like, “Dragonite and Zubat arrive in Sun and Moon! Stay tuned to know more about these familiar pokemon.” Took this from a twitter user
The real question is: how tuned do we have to stay? Like in a few hours or a few weeks? Probably the latter.
Probably a lil while
But what does that mean?!?! O_O More cryptic answers.
Never and they’re just baiting us!
alola forms probably. Plumeria had a goldbat on her team. While this a big reach because all villains have a goldbat family line, maybe an alolan crobat would be her main pokemon
That guy I mentioned awhile back mentioned Alolan Dragonite Being Fire type so speculation
Predictions:
Alolan Dragonite: Water/Dragon
Alolan Zubat: Poison/Fairy (sadly)
WHY A FUCKING FAIRY SERIOUSLY WHY WOULD ANYBODY THINK THAT IT
IM SERIOUSLY ASKING
I don’t want it either, but the way they’re going I see it happening.
Every FREAKING TIME Fairy type this and Fairy type that, this is why I hate them so god damn much
Including Alola forms, we have 9 (I believe) new fairies. Comparatively, we have one dragon, and one dark type.
But no actually new ice or dark types yet ;-;
Don’t worry. We’re gonna get 26 lol
And yet fairies still only constitute 5.1% of all Pokemon. If you’re wondering, that makes them extremely rare still.
You hate fairies…I get it. But some people appreciate them adding a good amount to catch up with other types.
That’s fair, but Ghost and Ice are even rarer and have been around since gen I… Where’s their overdue overcompensation? Plus, wouldn’t it make sense that fairies would be a rarer type? They’re supposed to be mystical elusive creatures aren’t they?
Ghost type Pokemon being rare is more believable considering they are supposed to be *dead* Pokemon. It would be pretty morbid in a children’s game if there were a lot of ghost type Pokemon lol. As for Ice types they suffer from being way to closely associated with animals that would equally be water types. I think most Pokemon that might be ice type are just made water type sometime during development
ew so Exeggutor was the only dragon?
Drampa
Fairies are OP and there are too many.
Yep
Xerneas is beyond touchble once it gets geo
Slurps unburdened belly drum
Togekiss lends it’s beyond broken para flinching
Azumarill is just super annoying too once it gets a BD
Mega Mawile everyone knows once it has a swords dance you cannot touch it
Gardevoir just another op mega
Altaria annoying and ugly
And now Whimsicott let’s Fairies use the most broken ability in game Prankster
Anybody else, TWave blasting Granbull, this one annoying Florges that just sat around doing nothing but toxic and wish and no attacks, Klefki got swagger banned, and that annoying prick Diancie just such a inconvenience
I hope Alola Zubat is Dark.
1) There’s no Poisonous animals in Hawaii
2) It should look like the Hawaiian Hoary Bat. Furry and brown
Good call, the lack of decent caves promoted the use of camouflage and soon after they began changing their appearance to match it
I’m with you on this one. Against fairies
there is no poisionous animal in Hawaii? guess where im living now lol. I have a phobia of poisonous animal. especially scorpions..
Well hello there fearer of Scorpions!
Well, unless you go in the ocean, yes. There are no poisonous animals.
idk how zubat would become a fairy type it makes no sense.
I could see Poison/Fairy for some sort of Demon Butterfly
so why not make Butterfree that.
I could see it as Bug/Fairy, I could see Venomoth as Poison/Psychic or Poison/Fairy though
I hope Alola Dragonite resembles Dratini and Dragonair more than normal Dragonite.
Plumeria makeup in real life
She the queen of ug.
Somebody call VOGUE!
Is that the eyes of Bianca del Rio ?
Well, I’ve gotta go. I hope when I come back we have Alolan Dragonite and Zubutt.
Cya 🙂
This is like me in the caves attacked endlessly by them
Zubaception
OMG I cannot believe the furry zubat I came up with when I made my own concept for subspecies a few years ago might be a thing!!!
As absolutely amazing as that would be, I also absolutely cannot tolerate Alolan Dragonite instead of mega dragonite. If that happens, just f*ck you GF. IMO it’s just unfair not to give it a mega like its peers. Commit to the damn patterns you begin, Game Freak….
Also I’m not exactly clear on what the source for those two is… An official site mishap and a twitter post? Is that it?
Yeah. I need my Dragonitenite
Dragonitite
