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

  1. huh weird, we’ve seen dragonite and Zubat in the trailer looking the same. so i dont think they could get Alolan forms but that tweet is odd

  2. Are the Poké-balls that the grunts throw Safari balls? If so I guess the Safari Zone is back in. (We haven’t had a real one since Diamond and Pearl correct? Not including the friend safari)

  3. Announcement Trubish will live in city environment the one thing I wanted Pokemon catchable in cities! Not via Headbutt, Rod, Surf, ect. But by grass patches!

  4. I know it’s not a big deal, because we regularly talk to him on here, but I got pretty excited when Paul replied to my comment on the gamexplain video 🙂

  5. I’m confused….Why would they point out Zubat and Dragonite if they were just gong to give them Alolan forms? They didn’t do that with any of the others….

  6. Guys! Tbh, I’m not satisfied with just these grunts. I feel like they are grunts and will steal and do malicious things but I get the vibe like there is another team who has real intentions like capturing zygard/Legends of S&M becuase I don’t feel like this team looks like they want to capture the legends. To me either there is another team behind their back, working underground without being seen and these guys just don’t know it (team flare or another team)or the boss looks like he is “Cyrus crazy” and might be working with another team and betray this one (like working with Lysander or they could be related and he just manages team flare on the low key to capture zygard. They do look somewhat from the hair) . That’s just the type of vibe I get. It’s a long shot.

  7. Tbh I don’t understand all the Fairy hate, there’s always going to be a rarest type and it’s already established by how much Fairy Types we got and got retyped last Gen that they’re not going to be an especially rare type.

    Also if we’re going to hate types based on broken Pokémon, Dragon and Ground deserve a lot of hatred too :p

    • I don’t necessarily hate them but they were made to balance the game. They’re weak to two of the least common types in competitive (because those two types are weak to common moves like Earthquake and Psychic and Flamethrower). I always thought Dragons were OP but nope. Not anymore. They need to give fairies another weakness or something

      • I’m telling ya’, they need to make ice types resistant to fairy and dragon (2 of the strongest attacking types) and immune to ghost (a type that really doesn’t have much stopping it besides dark, because normal types are so uncommon in competitive) this will also make ice types a more viable defense switch in as well, and balance them out a bit.

    • I don’t think they are that
      strong broken type Dragon people say it is one of the best types wrong only Super effective on 1 type resistant to 4 and weak to 3 I say Steel is better!

    • I don’t hate them, they are one of my favorite types, but dear lord they need to cool it with them this gen, we’ve gotten so many for sun and moon already.

  8. Guys I think I have convinced myself on how Alolan Forms work. Pokemon considers each stage in the evolution line as a different species, and the evolution process while seemingly working as metamorphosis in some cases, is actually the process of evolution at work with the genetic composition of the Pokemon dynamically and spontaneously changing taking into effect environmental factors such as the Alolan contextual factors that cause Alolan formes to come into existence. Hence for example, sandshrew which is a shrew considered to be the origin species of all mammals, evolves into a hedgehog, which is actually representative of an evolutionary process. Similarly, A Pikachu in Alola (which presently still resembles Pikachu worldwide) while evolving acknowledges the contextual factors and hence becomes Alolan Raichu.

    • I would be pleased with a Dragon/fairy type…..Dragon is my fav and fairy is my least fav but i wonder how that would play out

    • The last thing I want to see is another god damn fairy and even more so if it got the Pseudo legend slot because if that happens it will be fucking annoying to deal with

      Just so sick of everything right now

      • if you hate the new Pokemon so much, why don’t you call it quits, leave the franchise and only play on the Pokemon games that you love so much.

        *sigh* there’s just no end to ignorance within fanbases nowadays.

        • No, because if I leave then they fucking win, they only way for this to get better is either to get what I deserve or everyone gets their necks slit

          I’m sick of just everything constantly going everyone else’s way

          I’m officially in indignation mode

          Reply
          • No I want my GOD DAMN FREAKING GROUND/FIGHTING TYPE THAT HAS STUPIDLY HIGH ATTACK WITH GUTS IS THAT SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS DEMAND

    • hmm maybe if they make other gens,it will be like this:

      Gen8-Ox-Fire/Steel
      Gen9-Snake-Fire/Poison
      Gen10-Sheep-Fire/Electric
      Gen11-Rabbit-Fire/Fairy
      Gen12-Horse-Fire/Ground

      Reply
      • No on the Fire/Electric Sheep we already have a fucking line dedicated to it

        The Ox Fire/Ground
        Rabbit Pure Fire
        Maybe the Horse Fire/Steel a whole knight theme
        And the rest can go to hell

  9. -Morelull’s a new favorite, as I love mushrooms…the name clearly comes from morels and the type may be influenced by the fairy ring mushroom, but the shrooms on that one’s head resemble other species.
    -Wishiwashi!! Not feeling wishy-washy about it; that one’s adorable. And hopefully sounds like John Ratzenberger in the schooling form.
    -What a name for the sea cuke…XD
    -I like the Team Skull girls (Plumeria & the pink-haired grunt.)
    -I actually just might enjoy Alolan Meowth & Raichu more than their normal forms (except Team Rocket’s Meowth, of course…he’s Best Meowth forever.)
