Fans have been distraught as of late because there’s been a distinct lack of certainty about when the next Pokémon Sun & Moon news would come. Nintendo has now officially announced a 3DS-centered Direct and, while not guaranteed, could be the source of some new Pokémon news as well.

The Nintendo Direct will be held on September 1st, so we won’t be in the dark much longer!
<3 PJ
I most likely think we will get news, just because we had a trailer June 30th and August 1st so its around that time again 😀
I’d say dont get your hopes up so you dont get dissapointed.
I feel like if we were going to get new Pokemon info they’d just do it the way they have been doing so. Instead of trying to connect the trailer to a direct. I just think it’d be odd for them to bundle the Pokemon news in the direct just because they can.
the direct could show off like one new pokemon and then the pokemon company drops a new trailer with more news right after
I suppose…..I just don’t see the point. Back in the day Directs DID have some important news as far as Pokemon goes, but since the reveal of Sun and Moon TPC has basically taken over and they don’t need the directs anymore.
thats true, thats why i think NA Direct will include the announcement of the SuMo 3ds if anything
Yeah I think that’s a pretty safe bet. It’d technically still be Pokemon news, but be more in line with the other stuff in the direct too
Yea because I dont think Nintendo would dare put the Pokemon sun/moon 3ds in 2 out of the 3 Regions but not the other. that new 3ds will sell over here lol
Btw these are most likely the following games to be shown.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Spirit of Justice
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice
Yo-Kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls/Bony Spirits
Mario Party Star Rush
Pokemon Sun/Moon
also we could see the announcement for the amiibo update for New leaf and possibly the sun and moon 3ds coming to NA
i think it is obvious we will receive pokemon sun and moon news, considering we have been getting news at the beginning of each month as of late, so why not september 1st, the real question is will they shown alot or just a small tease of whats to come?! either way its only a few days away til we find out ourselves 🙂
Of all days for me to work
I should be slaying demons and vykrul for 16 hours straight and do the same next day but I have stupid fart faced work for 7 hours
Call in sick
I can’t
They have a stupid three weeks in advanced rule that can’t let me do that
That’s just for time off though, right? You should be able to call in sick vs taking time off.
Dude, that’s the nature of work!
Also you knew when Legion was coming out right, you had eternity to schedule your days off!
I get my schedule at the beginning of the week and they’re never consistent
Don’t you have a request off system? Like where I work all we have to do is fill out a form and hand it in to our managers. As long as it’s before 3 weeks to the date needed off it’s typically not a problem.
No, I mean three weeks before Legion’s release (on which the date is set) you could already ask for day(s) off on release date. 🙂
Yes
There is a huge chance we’ll have Sun and Moon news from the September 1st direct. We always seem to get news from every beginning of the month the last few months! 2nd June, 1st July and 1st August. I’d love to see the starter evolutions, more new Pokemon, more info about Z-Moves, more trial captains, more about Team Skull and definitely more Alola forms! (Sounds like a huge stretch I know, but I’ll accept what is to be shown) 🙂
I guess what it boils down to is IF there is any actual Pokemon news then maybe they thought it wold be useless to have a separate announcement when they also had a Direct scheduled as well. Otherwise the Pokemon news might as well be its own thing. I do have to wonder though. Could this be connected the French Nintendo tweet about the starters? Maybe the Pokemon news this time coming from a Direct instead of alone is the reason a regular Nintendo account teased rather than a Pokemon account?
I’m thirsty, Nintendo!
Also Dragon Quest 8 port release date.
Yes please!
Um. All mods of disqus: reply to this message. I think you need a way to contact us because it seems there are times where you’ve not dealt with situations correctly or in a way that we’d like.
So yeah, just give a quick comment in response to this and we can arrange a method of contact.
Sorry this is a serious message but gosh you seem so intimidating with your words and your picture, how can a man get more perfect than this? I also wanted to check if replying is really working, because I saw that post earlier elsewhere and why is nobody replying, jesus. Anyway, I’m not a mod so you can delete this comment.
Ahaha, I wish others shared the same views as you! I’ve never been called perfect 😉
It seems to be working, I guess not many have seen it yet! I won’t delete your comment!
You have my digits
Here I am.
@defensivebastiodon:disqus @shinyxatu:disqus Which messaging app/s is good to reach you both on?
I use Kik pretty frequently. I have a personal account with my first and last name but I can make another for this site if needed.
What do you think
Pretty certain this will have our usual share of pokémon news, otherwise we would probably have been informed of the next batch separately.
The real question is, what is in this next batch, and the next corocoro?
So this time last gen, the corocoro revealed the starter evos and the fossils, so we’ll probably get either or both of those, some of which might be restricted to the Corocoro. (though the games came out over a month earlier, so this could yet wait). We’ll probably also get 2-4 new pokémon, including some related to previous reveals. And obviously 1-3 Alola forms. One guarantee is Rockruff’s evo, but that may have to wait for the corocoro.
Assuming those leaks are fake (I like some ideas, don’t like others, they seem mildly believable but there’s no backing to them so as usual, they’re fake until proven otherwise), I’d place these bets on the specific pokémon we’ll get:
– Something palaeozoic for the fossils, I’d wager an armoured fish line and a fish to tetrapod line.
-A prevo for either Turtonator or Crabrawler (I think both of these are the final stages of two-stage lines, their designs seem about right for that level)
And my dream picks:
-A non-Kanto Alola form
-A mega evolution
I’d say the fact that XY came out in October is the reason we got the starters in September last time. That said, it does seem like they’re hinting at starter evo reveals given the French Nintendo tweet. I’d say if the typical trailer is in this direct it’ll be the starter evos and some smaller stuff. And then when CoroCoro comes out thy show off Rockruffs evo and hint further at the connection between it and the starters. I feel like we won’t get the full picture until the final evos of the starters are shown as they would be the ones with the direct connection to Rockruffs evo rather than the two smaller forms.
havn’t got long, that will be on thursday 😀 i really hope their some some pokemon sun and moon news, even if its just a little footage like the pyukumuku gameplay ide be happy! just a couple more days and we’ll find out! but i honestly haven’t got a vlue what it will be about, maybe its just for 3ds games in general but if it did contain sun and moon news that would only be a plus for us fans right?! 🙂
So if this is confirmed.. then the last leaker is confirmed?
Or did the last leaker only build off what the Main leaker said… Meaning it would prove nothing if some of the stuff proved credible unless there were similar designs.. . ?
Hmm
Also, I know I assumed that Rockruffs secret had to be the same as the starters.. . But they didn’t say that right? They implied he has a secret of his own, which could be the changes based on time of night previously predicted right? On top of the groups main secret.
Corocoro said they all share a secret. So what ever Rockruff can do is also related to the stares too.
Just had a thought… What if the direct ends with a sneaky teaser for the NX by means of a reveal date?? That tactic would make total sense, and it’s about damn time!
Well it’s a 3ds direct, so I’m not really counting on any NX news.
That is something I would not expect, but I also think Nintendo is not above putting surprises in directs.
Also, I’m glad they are calling them “Directs” again; I thought they stopped calling it Directs, especially since the Metroid Prime Fed Force one was for all intents and purposes are Direct but they didn’t call it that…
Nintendo would reveal the NX possibly next month, due to Sony revealing its 4k console this month. and no i think its not possbile since nintendo already said no NX news
Finally preordered my copy of Sun + a Strategy guide which I always do with new Pokemon games. Looking forward to the lil Solgaleo figure that’ll come with it as a bonus (hope Sun gets some good version exclusives)
I hope that the sun exclusives are good aswell since many times the version exclusives that i like can only be found on the version that i didnt choose ex: rufflet being in white but i played black
Tbh I plan to play through Sun with all 3 starters, so that’ll mean trading so if there’s a Pokemon I really want on Moon, I’ll just trade haha
Or you could store them on Pokebank each time you reset and get the starters and then after 3 times you can use em all
I would but I don’t have Pokebank and I can’t see myself spending money on it when I’ll never use it tbh – unless there’s a big incentive in terms of RBY on the 3DS
Yeah i plan to do this via wonder trade if its still a feature in sun and moon, which they should considering its a popular feature for us pokemon fans via youtube, twitch etc. atleast that way we can see what we get and eventually get starter pokemon. or via gts ofcourse which would be a massive downhill in my opinion, why? because so many hack legendary pokemon and others that are like level 100 and shiny which arent usually legit on their. atleast thats how its been for me everytime i go on there, but eh wonder trade and breeding eggs is what i do best 🙂
Well one of the pluses of getting the game 5 days later is people would have already bred starter Pokemon (hopefully good natures and attacks) and they should be easily got on the GTS/WT – always looking for that silver lining of getting the games later than the rest of the world haha
I do wish there was a faster way of WT’ing however (same with releasing Pokemon). I wish you could select like 6 at a time and then trade/release em
so apparently Nintendo stated that the NX won’t be discussed at all on Thursday….sorry guy chill out lol
Rip
My hopes and dreams
Rip my lyfe
Who are you?
Your replacement
nooooooooooooo!!!!
Clean out your desk and turn in your badge
*sniff* o-okay
So many crying over NX. No one cares, Sun and Moon are top priority right now. Other stuff needs bin
People are just thirsty for any info on what the NX is. Honestly though at this point I’m getting scared that it launch will be a failure due to people being disappointed that it doesn’t resemble anything that the rumors have said it would be.
Yeah I can see that happening
People are just so hard to please these days (phrasing)
Pokemon fans especially…
exactly! specially pokemon fans they get greedy when they don’t get enough and when they give us alot more than we asked for they complain they gave us too much. this is why i enjoy pokemon sun and moon news, they’re doing this the right way, heck we don’t know much yet we have so many pokemon revealed! alola forms and z moves are only just become something we just found out, and we still don’t know what its about or how it works gameplay wise. we don’t even know the starter’s evolutions, all we have is the leaks of evolutions which has credibility. honestly if they become real then fine but if they confirm to be fake once they DO revceal the starters evos, alot of fans are going to be extremely dissapointed because so many of them love the artwork and designs of these three.
Yep, XY had way to much info, this is just right
They’re REALLY pushing it with this. They need time to generate hype. What I fear is that it isn’t ready for a march launch, so they’ll rush it and flop again. I’d rather have a delay, which is what I think may happen at this point.
It’s the same thirst for info we had back in 2015 when there was no Pokemon game to be seen. Just for NX instead. I’m worried that it won’t have enough time to be hyped up before release. I trust Nintendo though
Gotta disagree with you there. We’re seven months away till it supposedly releases and we have no information on it.
In my opinion they should have showed it at E3.
I am curious to see what the NX will actually be and what will it offer but yeah Sun and Moon interest me more at the moment haha xD
50 mins left then I can spend the next 14 hours playing Warcraft
geez 14 hours. weak
Hey I have a puppy to take care of
Believe me I want to relinquish my life to Warcraft but it’s kinda hard when I’m always being hammered with responsibilities
LEGION LEGION LEGION dumb ads
That sounds unhealthy
You sound unhealthy
Wow, wat a roast
Denial. 14 hours of constant stimulation is taxing on the body
that sounds interesting.. NOT
Wow I come home thinking new info and it’s rumors
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that we’re not going to get pokemon info in this direct.
Hey Isthme look under forums I have questions there for you.
Sure. I just finished doing school stuff.
Yay!
I can’t be the only one who absolutely adores the latest artleaks. From an artistic and design perspective they’re original and well executed, I really hope they’re real
I like most leaks this included
I quite like the art myself, as a concept at least. I also quite like your img for your profile, though I can’t quite figure out why ;3
I say we’ll get a new trailer. But it seems close enough to the NX that I would necessarily expect new game announcments, but what other upcoming 3ds games do they have? Seriously, the only one that comes to mind is pokemon, which is odd. Maybe it’s a shorter direct? I don’t think they’ll anounce more than 1 or 2 new games, if we’re lucky, but I can’t think of any upcoming 3ds games other than SM. Odd.
I don’t know if it was said but does anyone know what time the direct is?
Nice avatar.
Thanks, I like Akuma haha and fighting games.
I like him too.
On the article it says 01/09 at 16:00 CEST.
Oh, thanks, I’ve must have skimmed passed it.
Wait, it’s not showing it in mobile. I had to click on the picture to go to Twitter to see it haha
Yeh, You’re right. It’s not showing up on mobile for some reason.
