“New” Sun & Moon Footage!

pyukumuku-sidequest-map“New” is in quotation marks because this video is actually three days old! Originally from publication V-Jump, the quick clip features never before seen Pokémon Sun and Moon gameplay of the protagonist completing an NPC’s request to throw the Pyukumuku back into the ocean for some cash. While the footage is not anything groundbreaking, we do get a look of the overworld in a previously unseen area. And dang you get paid a lot to do such minimal work!

It also seems as though there may be a Pokémon moving about on the beach at the 1:00 mark. Whether it can start an encounter to catch something such as a Sandygast, we’ll have to wait and see 🙂

  1. Why bother becoming island champion for each island when you can basically spend the whole 999:99 playtime just throwing Pyukumukus into the ocean. They certainly weren’t kidding when the game’s theme is life. 😀

  2. I’m confused. The money is yen so does that mean for different language versions of the game you have a different monetary system? I thought pokemon games used “money” as its value like how KH uses munny??

  3. I wonder how we’re gonna get from island to island. In real life, boats aren’t allowed inter-island transport, unless they’re a cruise. You need to take a plane. (Hawaiian airlines)
    Maybe there’s a cruise you go on?

    • Considering we’ve seen them on a boat in past trailers i’d say that they are ignoring that real life law and just letting us take boats from island to island. Also there ar ports at each island so it only makes sense for us to use them.

  4. You know what? Even though this was just a video under 2 minutes long and only featured the character walking around in almost silence it definitely got me excited!!! First of all I can’t believe we actually get to do the whole “throw Pyukumuku in the ocean” thing!!! lol That’s pretty funny. Second of all I’m loving the surrounding noises!!!!! The ocean is so loud like in real life! I’m so happy they are bringing back the real world sounds. Even better than that they made them more realistic! I wonder if some part of the game there isn’t music. I wouldn’t be surprised if this clip was just incomplete and just didn’t have the music added yet, but I think I’d like it if certain areas didn’t have set music. Just listening to the sound of the waves was relaxing! hahaha

  5. I hope they keep doing videos like this. It’s just enough to wet the appetite and gives a glimpse of the region, but also doesn’t show too much. Plus it’s just nice to get new stuff! lol

    • Yeah I’m sad they didn’t make an animation for that…..I suppose this way is just similar to how Pokemon has always done things tho lol

  6. This is so awesome! I’ve loved Pokémon amie because I felt like it was just like the anime getting to interact with your Pokémon but this brings it to a whole new level. Now you get to have not only adventures but obstacles along the way! This game looks so amazing atm!

  7. The transition from the receding water to the ocean seems a bit too stark, but this is just a test run, so I don’t mind. I’m sure with the resolution of the 3DS, the graphics will look much more crisp and centered and not blunted. For a small, trivial video, the game looks simply amazing! I love Pyukumuku’s cry and the sound of the waves! Also that hot stud you walk by is *fine*

  8. can somebody help with my translation of the text you get when you pick up a pyukumuku? it’s coming out as Sun(probably the player) was connected law to sea Namakobushi(Pyukumuku) “サンは ナマコズシを うみに ほうつなげた”, removing sun reads “Namakobushi was connected law to the sea” “ナマコズシを うみに ほうつなげた”

  9. It’s so cool that you can see the swimmers legs under the water! It makes them look more realistic instead of just a head and arms! (Up in the top corner)

    • Oh man I didn’t even notice! I’m gonna watch the clip a billion more times now to see if there are anymore cool things! lol

  10. I’m loving the aesthetics of the overworld. You could tell GameFreak is trying their hardest to overcome the limitations of the 3DS. Also, there is no doubt that this is Akala Island. I thought the moving sand was a return of the Shaking Spots from B/W/B2/W2, but I think it’s just the way to encounter Pokemon on the beach. I’m a tad disappointed that there is no funny animation with throwing Pyukumuku tho…

  11. This looks amazing! Imagine if the 3DS had been in HD instead of 3D though. I love the size differences and I just wish they showed the scene of the Pyukumuku being thrown back in the water.

  12. I guess now that we know the characters for Sun and Moon, that means thats Lilly standing in front of the hotel resort thing.

  13. I’m still waiting for the Alola Guardian of Akala Island, plus more new Pokemon, plus more Alolan forms, plus a few new Mega Evolutions, plus starter evolutions, plus Marshadow and Gigareki. What is wrong with Pokemon Sun and Moon?

  14. Pyukumuku just gets better and better. I honestly hope it doesn’t evolve, cause then Dunsparce, Stunfisk and Pyukumuku would make the perfect trilogy! xD
