As announced last week today we’ve been treated to a megaton of new information for Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon! An all-new trailer has been released showcasing new Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, new mechanics and even more.
In addition to the English trailer, a Japanese trailer has been released containing some slightly different footage, though shares the same information.
New Information
- Ultra Beasts are revealed and don’t appear to be Pokémon as we know them
- Type: Null is a Normal-type Pokémon that has the ability Battle Armour. Type: Null is a synethtic Pokémon that was created to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon, meaning it can adapt to any situation. The Pokémon’s mask is used to control it’s powers and also slows the Pokémon down
- Jangmo-o is a new Dragon-type Pokémon with the ability Bulletproof/Soundproof
- Alolan Raticate are Dark/Normal-type with Gluttony/Hustle for their ability
- Pokémon Sun & Moon are set 12 hours apart from one another, meaning certain events in the games will play out differently
- The Aether Foundation are a new group in Sun & Moon
- Lusamine is President of the foundation, Faba is a Branch Chief and Wicke is an Assistant Branch Chief
- Gladion is Team Skull’s Enforcer
- The Zygarde Cube is an item given to players that allows you them collect Zygarde Cores and Cells across the Alola region
- Poké Finder allows you to take photos of Pokémon using your Rotom Pokédex
- UB-01 is an Ultra Beast
That’s all that has been officially revealed in the trailers, though we invite our readers to discuss and speculate in our comment section below!
This thing can open his mouth.http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1473168519518.png
Well I figured it could……It’s gotta eat some how right? lol
So Type:Null, could it be the Pokemon that changes type when you breed it in one of the leaks?
it might…?
Is it a cat tho?
Could be! With a mask? Open to interpretation 🙂
Well probably not…..they said it was a cat straight up. I doubt they’d say it was a regular cat if it was this thing lol
“I peeked at it from afar and I thought it was Chrom!”
Or something like that if he was just looking at drawings from the other room…
ok ok. if Aether is the real villian team does that mean we are getting our first female leader?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
😀
Theory, what if Lillie and Galdion (since the look similar) are actually clones of Lusamine? Look at how Galdion is holding his hand as if its uncontrollable when he sends out Type: Null, not to mention that maybe Type: Null was given to him by her or Aether to fight, and it too is an artificial Pokemon, and Galdion’s purpose was to spy on Team Skull, while Lilly was to spy on Professor Ku Kui for the Aether Foundation. IDK, I get a bad vibe from them as I did with Cipher.
Meh
Galdion is just a rebelling son whos too cool for school.
at this point if none of them are related in some way we will all be disappoint
Galdion has the same hair and eye color as Lusamine
Could be possible too 🙂
Galdion is just edgy
This is the first gen I’m having a hard time deciding on a party.
Has anyone found the relation of all this new info to alchemy?
Aether. Aether has a MASSIVE connection to alchemy. Go watch any number of the alchemy theory videos on YouTube and you’ll see
What do you guys think of dexio being here? Think it’s just to show timelines, and a way for zygarde cores, or do you think they will have bigger parts?
they ARE superheroes after all.
Probably sent by Professor Sycamore for whatever story purposes
Game freak did reveal during E3 that Zygarde would play a story based roll but declined to elaborate . If collecting the cores is a big part of the game that is all but confirmed
This hotel have many mysterious pkmn drawing for me.
I thought Type: Null was actually a New Type lol. But seriously Type: Null looks dope.
I didn’t like it at first, but now that I know that it’s artificially created to adapt to every situation, it’s much better.
Yeah that backstory is so cool. Design wise it’s awesome, I think it fits the whole Hawaii theme.
Literally cant wait for GamexPlain’s analysis video. Now that alchemy is all but confirmed
Wait!!! Has no one else caught on to the fact that they basically gave us a Pokemon Snap minivans with the camera?!?! I GUARANTEE that’s gonna be a mini game in sun and moon!!!
Minivans heh heh… autocorrect…
I hate autocorrect lmaoo!!
Eventually the Pikachu realizes it’s being taken pictures of…
Also, anyone kinda hoping the opening song used in the Japanese trailer is used as the opening cinematic song for Sun and Moon, as it sounds epic and nice to the ear?
its totally gonna be
Gaidon and Lillie (UB-01) was raised together like sibling, Lillie ran away Gaidon blamed Lusamine and he joined the rebellion with team skull and became super edgy
Two cool looking Pokemon, and yet were given such awful names. Well at least it as creative as how Ruther from ‘Quest for Camelot’ would name the final evolution of Axel, ‘Bladebeak’
I wonder if Lusamine is pronounced like hime or like mime
Lew-sah-meen.
Lew-Sah-meme?
Luh-say-mi-nay
Dexio and Sina being in Sun and Moon at least gives me some closure that they didn’t just leave XY’s storyline limited to one game.
Sina!!!!
DOO DOO DOO DOOOOOO
where r they?
The duo that gives the main character the Zygarde thing
I feel so dumb now
I hope they bring mega stones with them, since their being here means were probably in the Mega Universe.
Oh definitely, actually, they are most probably the ones that gives you the Key Stone post game
Transfered Rayquaza would probably be able to Mega Regardless.
Though you probably won’t be able to Mega at all unless you have the right key item…
I hope they have more to do with the story than just giving the cube to you, I want more about them, maybe showing a tiny cuts Chen of x and y characters doing something
Them being in Alola means that Professor Sycamore sent them there, maybe due to something happening in Alola that’s affecting Kalos somehow?
Will UB-01 Be catchable? It seems unlike any Pokémon I’ve ever seen and defiantly looks challenging 😮 so excited it’s a new mechanic I defiantly didn’t see coming and most likely UB-01 will make a spot on my team if catchable.
In pokemon, everything is captchable, like legendary pokemon. So my guess is that we can catch the Ultra Beasts.
Probably not. It’s not listed as a Pokemon, but rather as a story element.
Ghost Marowak for example
I was expecting an alien pokemon at first but
I don’t see why not. If it’s going to be in the pokedex is has to be catchable in some manner, unless they make it an event or something..
Its not listed among the Pokemon page on the SuMo website though
Hm, idk then. I can’t see them making a pokemon (cause that’s what it is I guess) and not letting us have it.
It’s not a pokemon… The website states that ultra beasts are a threat to both humans AND pokemon… Implying it represents some “third pillar” of sorts
Maybe it has its own listing?
Im gonna be throwing pokeballs at lillie likes it pokemon go
Alolan Raticate is basically the Rat from Ratatouille lol
“Alolan Raticate prefers to eat only fresh fruits and high-class ingredients. There are rumors that a certain top-notch restaurant takes advantage of Alolan Raticate’s taste buds by bringing it along when choosing ingredients to buy, and having it taste test new dishes.”
Oh my God ? they’re taking bits of Gen 1 but they’re completely refreshing them and it’s amazing looking
so Dexio and Sina being in sun/moon could mean Kalos could be post-game yea ik they could be the new looker, but kalos is so unfinished and seeing them gives me hope
I still think looker will be in the game too. I mean, he has to get a new partner after his previous one died, doesn’t he?
GUMSHOOS???
It seems like the perfect match, doesn’t it?
He has Amnesia right now though,but he reminds me that we still need sinnoh.
Well he gets Gumshoos in Sun&Moon, and when we get that Sinnoh remake he will still be using Croagunk, who will die at some point…
OK OK SO DEXIO AND SINA IN THE GAMES. GAME FREAK BETTER MAKE MY DREAM COME TRUE AND PUT KALOS IN THE GAME
I had flashbacks of the masked superheroes of kalos.
Just gonna throw it out there, but as of today, with the revealed new Pokemon (legends, Magearna, and Ultra Pokemon included, as well as the supposed Cutefly evo) our total is now at 43 brand new Pokemon. If you want to use a bit of evidence digging and a some round guesses here and there (starters have 3 evos, Rockruff evo hinted so adding 1, Pokedex pic shows that Pekipeck has 2 evos) then we have most likely 53 confirmed new Pokemon atm. Sorry if this is not something people are interested in but its good to share as some are concerned about how much new Pokemon are in this Gen.
unless starters now have one evo like in Uranium.
True, they are changing things this gen. But for now its a speculator guess for them being a 3 stage line. There are also supported rumors that they have a split final evo depending on day and night however.
I was worried they would reveal all the Pokémon but with the size of Alola, it doesn’t look like it should be worried about.
OH AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU ABOUT THE POKÉMON SNAP MINI GAME
Bruhhhh this what I’ve been saying!!! Like everyone else seems to not even care of notice and I’m just like “Gamefreak you sneaky bastards!!! Putting a pokemon snap mini game in Sun and Moon” These games really are a fan dream come true!!! 😀
And the Snap fans will say “MAKE A FULL GAME GODDAMMIT GF”!!!
Baby steps
I am a huge Snap fan. Yes Snap 2 would be great, but I can settle for this.
Lol truuuu! Just can’t please people
Yussss
So this is a masive leap in logic, but…does anyone get the vibe that the Aether foundation looks MORE villainous than Team Skull? The leaders all scream, “the nicest psychos” and they even have male and female grunts. They also seem to have way more resources to pull off something involving legendaries, after a Team Plasma esque guise of protecting Pokemon. I dunno, they seem too…nice for their own good.
I could see them pulling something come the end of the game and Guzma’s rag tag group of misfits actually have to team up with you.
Aether reminds me of the facility in Stranger Things
They’re totally an evil team
Okay, glad I’m not the only one who thinks so…
I think they created Type:Null as well
Hmm, good point. Yeah, these guys just seem too perfect
Oh yeah they’re definitely the real bad guys. I’d imagine by the end you team up with Guzma in some way to take them down lol
Aether Foundation = PETA confirmed
YESSSS exactly what I think
