Alolan Rattata has just been announced in today’s 3DS Direct. The Dark/Normal-type Rattata has a new appearance and changed after Gumshoos was introduced to control the Rattat popuation. Alolan Raticate are said to lead groups of Rattata. Alolan Rattata has the Ability Gluttony/Hustle. Alola
Some Pokémon have their own Z-Moves. For example Alolan Raichu can use Stoked Sparksurfer. In addition to this a special Munchlax download was announced. The Munchlax will be available to Sun & Moon players and will arrive with the Snorlium Z item that allows Snorlax to use the Z-Move Pulverizing Pancake. The Munchlax will also know the moves Hold Back and Happy Hour.
Players in Japan can receive 12 Quick Balls if they download a digital version of the game to their 3DS, or a Snorlax TCG game if they purchase the retail version of the game.
BREAKING: Next Sun and Moon info coming September 6th (Serebii on Twitter)
WHAT, REALLY?
Yes, they just posted that on Twitter
OMG, THANK YOU :33
UGH!!!! I was just about to say that!!! hahahaha
Thats great!
O sweet, thank Arceus
Alolan Arceus confirmed ?!?!?! XD
Loboxter please
That means: NEW POKEMON!
Hopefully yes
I Love Pokemon! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Ooh guys, what if the leaked “Rugby monkey” is actually the “Spidermonkey” from the artleaker?
Doubtful. The rugby part is awfully specific
I guess, so that means there are two monkey pokemon this gen… or the artleaker is a fraud
that latter is far more likely.
Well there were two ape lines in Gen 5. But I imagine the leaker is fake
Let’s just post them tweets here!

OH THANK ARCEUS! i know we have had alot after the last few months but that amount of info in the direct really didn’t do it for me!
5 DAYS IT IS THEN. GIVE ME MY ROCKRUFF EVO AND STARTER EVO PLSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It says the sun and moon decorative 3DS is coming out on the 18th in Europe.
But why not the game itself?
I want the 3ds 🙁
ALOLAN RATICATE CONFIRMED VIA POKÈMON.COM!!!
Says that Alolan Raticate serve as the bosses of the Alolan Rattata!!!
I don’t get why they mention it but not show it
because that involves work
I mean it was confirmed either way.
Lol, true!
But it’s nice to have made official! =D
Ugh those SuMo 2DS look absolutely gorgeous. If they’re not too expensive I might get one, even though I recently bought a new 3DS XL with Animal Crossing skin.
so europe annouced a new 3ds xl, and 2 2ds bundles… and NA has yet to annouce anything
I wanna see
EDIT: Ninja’d.

Love it…..love every bit of it…..lol
Trainer card?
Looks the starting screen
Probably the starting screen, lemme translate it.
It’s the main menu when you load your save. The other two options there are Mystery Gift and the thing for Battle Competitions and whatnot.
I LOVE IT.
It gives off a PMD vibe.
Where did u find that ?
Serebii Joe’s twitter
opsss…Ok it’s in his site now.
It’s from the Japanese website.
http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/topics/160901_01.html
Begin from here:
“Sun” (trainer name)
1 (something I can’t translate… Bandouru?)
Zukan (Pokedex) – 1 specie
Play time – 0:20
Mystery Gift
Live Competition
‘Bandouro’ is the word the Japanese games use for routes. So the player there is on Route 1.
They should’ve written it like 番道路 then :p
But yeah kids…
Japanese Pokémon games by default don’t use kanji. There was an NPC in BW who let you toggle kanji, but I’m not sure if that’s ever been a thing in any of the other games.
@Paradigm:disqus is right.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Kanto_Route_1
I love the new way of dex entry GF r aware to many details and pkmn r affected by each other that give the game more deep and logical vision. http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/dont-miss-out-on-munchlax-in-pokemon-sun-and-pokemon-moon/
I’m just waiting for them to reveal Alolan Alakazam to see how they’ll handle Pokemon that have both Mega and Alolan forms.
So if we’ll have new info on the 6th I think this time will have the starters evos.
6th: starters evos
corocoro: rockruff evo + secret
mid-septeber news: starters evos secret.
New trailer showed peculiar z-moves (like for raichu or snorkax), so this cannot be the secret. Imo the 4 will have syncro evos or split evos.
Yeah I think the whole Z moves thing is out. If every Pokemon can use them AND there are other Pokemon with stones specific to them then I’d say it’s not special enough for the starers and Rockruff to be hyped about. I still think it’s form differences like many of the rumors have stated. I guess we’ll find out next Tuesday. lol
I’m so excited!!!!! I need somebody to calm me down…….lol
Ok *hugs* <3 ^v^
*hugs back Thanks I needed that…..*sigh*….Whelp I’m off to buy milk! See you later! lol
^v^
Pulverising Pancake’s animation is the best thing I’ve ever seen.
Deepest lore: Alolan Raichu eats the “pancaked” psychic type ‘mons flattened by Snorlax. Hence its Psychic typing. *drops mic*
I literally just hollered and cackled :D!!! There might have even been a snort lmaooo
Ok I translated the things on the main menu screen shown by serebii…
“Begin from here”
Sun (trainer name)
1 (something I can’t translate… Bandouru? Are these the “badges”?)
Zukan (Pokedex) – 1 specie
Play time – 0:20
Mystery Gift
Live Competition
hm. maybe trail captains give you something
thats actually the route its on, sooo it could be:
“Begin from here”
Moon **Trainers Name**
Route 1
Pokedex-1 Species
Play Time 0:20
Mystery Gift
Live Competition
why does Mario Sports Superstar have one the coolest box arts ive seen for a mario title lol
Alolan Rattata is really dope. Didn’t that Chinese leaker say Alolan Rattata and Raticate were gunna be Dark types?
That specific leaker was accurate on almost everything except for Alola Nintelales’s typing, which he said would be Fire/Fairy.
I’m getting the sense that that particular leaker had some inside information, but maybe only had pictures to go on, and was just guessing on the types.
Guess that means the old rumors might be true. Remember that it stated that Rattata/Raticate were going to be dark types
Rattata is a dark/normal tho 😉
Technically still dark type though
Technically leaker didnt put a second type, big difference lol
Im messing with you.
Well, I guess we’ll have to see what Sept. 6th brings. Maybe… a sandwich?! No, not a sandwich Pokémon. Just a sandwich. Hell, maybe I’ll just go get one from Jimmy John’s…
sandwhich z-move
With Snorlax’s new pancake move, we can just change it to Sandwich Press (since everything will be pressed thin under that bulk) and it’ll be close enough. 😉
It’s pretty much been common sense that the leaks were real ever since Alolan forms were officially announced. Just not 100% accurate. With typings, mostly.
rowlet = Rowling/Owlet
Jk Rowling?
the very same
I was going to name mine Jo!
or ar-row
The starters and their evolutions seem to fit the theme of fairy tale characters and themes, rather than a circus. And I can base it all on the areas of origin that they are based from.
Rowlet (Britain), Litten (China), Popplio (Denmark)
Calling mine Hedwig.
I know not many people watch the anime, but I have to share this imo.
Now that it is confirmed that Alain bracelet absorbs Mega Evolution energy, it is like 99% plausible he cheated throughout the Kalos league, which in turn brings me back to the point that I believe the theory about Ash being the one who gets to (officially) challenge Diantha and not Alain is highly possible.
Alain bracelet gathers the energy for Lysander’s Ultimate Weapon.
Not to power Charizard Up
Ash lost fairly
I will never believe it’s fair after seeing the strength Greninja pulled off in today’s episode, and the fact he was doing so well against Charizard before the form was even mastered, Greninja should’ve won that fight. In a story perspective, Ash lost fairly. From a writing perspective, Ash was cheated out of a win.
What is going on with my childhood? These z moves are too much and are giving me dragon ball z tease. Haven’t they heard if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! It worked for 20 years. http://i.makeagif.com/media/4-27-2014/ErbChU.gif (rf)
Hey dont you get bored with the same toy even if its not broke?
Yes. But not if that toy goes from a truck to a real life size monster truck with lasers
but wouldnt that be awesome tho lol
The thing about z moves, in my opinion, is that their animation is going to take forever… I rather use hammer arm to the snorlax z thing….
For the first couple of times it will be the cool new thing…. But by the “league” i will probably use normal moves….
I get the same vibe as summoms in ff… Its good but i can defeat the enemy way faster with normal skills haha
I guess you can aways disable the animations…
I agree. The animations take too long and are over the top.
Actually, from what I noticed, it seems it’s only the special Pokémon exclusive Z-Moves that have a longer animation. The regular based-on-type Z-Moves don’t have nearly as long of an animation.
Need I have to repeat myself…
This is how the some Pokemon Fans are
http://pre13.deviantart.net/251d/th/pre/f/2016/190/c/2/pokemon_fans_in_a_nutshell_by_shironakarius-da9cryu.jpg
I must ask who the guy is on the last panel… 🙂
It’s Kuvira, from Legend of Korra, and she’s a girl 🙂
Well could’ve sworn it was an anime pretty boy… 🙂
http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Kuvira
Kuvira does have the look about her xD
It’s based on a specific scene when the next heir to the Earth Kingdom’s throne, was transferred from his room in the Republic City hotel to a lower quarters whilst Kuvira (the dictator of the coming Earth Empire) takes his room. As he complains, she answered him with that smile with growing military drumbeats growing in the background…
‘Something you should know about me, I always get what I want.’
I put it in to represent the main people who run an organisation who have bought, changed, or altered something that we do not like.
while i agree, they actually said littens final evo was to be fire/dark not fire/fighting. just saying…
Dragon Ball still going strong with the new Super series.
Change is good!
Ah, it brought to my mind the Nintendo DS tagline! 🙂
There is nothing wrong with what they are doing, and I think that it’s awesome.
And sorry but I’ve been a Dragon ball fan ever since I was a little kid, and NONE of this gives me the “Dragon Ball Z” vibe at all. Nore does it give me the “Digimon” vibe that a lot of silly people are complaining about. 🙁
New things like this, is what gets me even more excited all over again, for a franchise that I grew up with. 😀
i completely agree with you! this massive change really is great!! i think it may be a little weird with no gyms or league though, i love change and im happy they’re finally changing the original formula, but we are so used to going around the region beating gym leaders, earning all 8 gym badges and then going to the elite 4, since we have trial captains and the island Kahuna’s who knows how that will turn out. its still hype and im sure ill love it but the thought of no gyms is a little scary if you ask me,
Why are people ‘silly’ for disagreeing with you? Literally the first thing I thought when I saw mega evolution was ‘dude they’ve just ripped off Digivolution’, and the first thing I thought when I saw Z moves was ‘whoa, Pokemon’s going Super Saiyan!’. I mean, yay if you like it, but some people don’t, and just find it a little OP and gimicky, and that’s ok too ya know 😉
New Article guys.
Bruhhhh I’m crying lmaoo!!! That Pulverizing Pancake animation reminds me so much of that Gyrarados and Pidgey comic from a few years back!!! Like after it’s over gumshoos, (who should realistically be dead) is just chillin like, oh… I’m supposed to be done now lol. It’s like bad acting
I wish I could find video of Snorlax using Flying Press, but this is close enough.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3Ph9zqtW5s
Can anyone who knows Japanese translate this: ほんきをだす こうげき
It’s the Japanese name of Snorlax’s Z-Move.
Google translated it as: It issues a serious attack. Well… it does.
Riachu’s Z-move Stoked Sparksurfer is called Lightning Surf Ride in Japanese.
It’s literally “Earnest Effort Attack”…
But I’d call it the “Tryhard Attack”, because it’s funny…
According to Bulba, it’s called Go All Out, but that’s bascially ほんきをだす
こうげきpart. I just wanted to know out of curiosity. I like knowing Japanese names for Pokémon stuff.https://twitter.com/BulbaNewsNOW/status/771354930204606466
Yeah, that’s basically what it is… 🙂
Translation is hard, but I get it similar at least.
“Go All Out Attack”…
Nah, I’m going with “Tryhard Attack” because it’s funny.
Its called “Pulverizing Pancake”
Or in meme terms
Pankek
I know its English name. I wanted to know its Japanese name.
Oh, soz m8
