A new Japanese trailer was released today showcasing all that has been revealed about Sun & Moon so far! The trailer shows very little notable, new gameplay but it does confirm that Professor Oak’s cousin known as Nariya Ookido, is in the game! Tanner and more mullet-er than his famous cousin, he’s in the Alola Region studying the Alolan forms.
In other news, the next batch of Sun & Moon info is coming September 14th at 10am JST! As usual, we’ll be here to cover anything that will be revealed!
[UPD] The Official English Pokémon site has updated and has confirmed that Oak’s cousin is known as Samson Oak.
It’s funny how the trailer ends very dramatic with loud music, but then Snorlax appears and cries. Very anticlimactic haha.
Also: much better hairstyles for men:
Waaay better. They’re even seems to be more hair colors, like that light-orange-ish color.
I guess that looks a lot like something we already have, but the white color is definitely new.
I like the middle one and it needs need glasses lol
Just an idea, but I think it would make sense that each island might have a Professor.
They might possibly be related to old Professors, and give you a starter from their respective region. So this dude gives you a Kanto Starter, we do know they’re in game due to Pokeride, and it wouldn’t make much sense to just have Charizard.
So it’s possible we could get 2 more, maybe Johto and Unova.
But there are 4 islands, so 3 more starters?
Yeah, like I said, 1st island new starters, oak seems to be on the third, then 2 more, on the second an 4th islands,
Ah I missed the part where Oak’s there! My bad.
Samuel Oak’s cousin.
Doesn’t have an English name yet as far as I know.
I already knew that. Prof. Oak “2” gives us the Gen 1 starter in Ben’s theory.
I don’t buy Ben’s theory.
You don’t need one professor per set of starters, it could easily be the case that Oak gives the Kanto starters and Kukui gives the rest, or vice versa, assuming the player won’t just acquire the Alola and Kanto starters and none of the others.
It’s less of a theory more of a cool idea, the islands seem distinct enough to have their own Professors, and we know 2 do, so what’s the issue with the other 2 having them.
Kukui researches Moves, New Oak regional variation. So it’s possible.
Likely there won’t be, but it’s a cool idea, I mean, we’ve seen a lot of unexpected things so far, so I wouldn’t rule it out, It’s like in HG/SS, Steven gave you the Hoenn Starter, Oak gave you the Kanto starter, and Elm gave you the Johto starter. They didn’t have to, as you said the regional professor could have easily done it, but it shows it’s possible.
It’s stated that he studies regional Variation, so it might be possible, though maybe unlikely, that we get Alolan Form Kanto Starters from him, though we have already seen Fire Charizard
I guess it would make sense if we got the Sinnoh Starters since we’ll be playing DP remakes in a couple of years
That would be a reason to not have the Sinnoh Starters
Could be that there’s only one Charizard in Alola though.
Could be, just doubt it
Well, there’s only one Kanto meowth in Alola as far as we can tell.
There was only one sudowoodo in Hoenn and Johto, and only one Snorlax in Kalos and Johto.
There was, however, all of the ride Pokemon seem to also be pokemon you can use in the region, we’ve seen a couple in Battle, though whether that means Charizard is we’ll have to see. If Charizard is then it’s likely we’ll see Venusaur, who is on another leak people are taking as accurate, and Blastoise, who is in concept art from the reveal trailer.
As far as I know, we’ve only seen Lillipup around.
Might have seen Lapras but I’m not sure.
Tauros has been seen around, never in battle though.
Not seen Sharpedo in battle.
Mudsdale we know for definate.
I’m not convinced by the guy who ‘leaked’ Venusaur.
Haven’t seen the Blastoise concept art.
I still think it’s more likely to just be offered Kanto starters, the only time starters were found in the wild before is XY friend safari.
I never once said in the wild for Charizard, and we have seen Lapras in battle, I think the Tauros, despite being not in battle, we’ve seen multiple on a ranch, so I’m sure they will be in the wild, I don’t see wh ythey wouldn’t, which brings us to Sharpedo, I’m not sure why there would just be 1 Sharpedo, and it does seem like the right environment, so I’m pretty sure those will be wild too, or at least Carvhana.
Charizard really is the big what if, we need to really know who the one in charge of the Ride service is, and the reason for using the Pokemon they have.
Blasoise was in the reveal trailer being used on a firetruck, whether or not that’s in the final game we’ll see. But it’s very possible that someone would give us the Kanto Starters, which tbh I don’t see the need for, given we can move them from gen 6 and VC1 but then again, similair things have happened. I Don’t see it not being in the regional dex if it’s clearly in the region though, and it doesn’t garauntee the other 2, they do tend to favour Charizard, but it wouldn’t make sense to just have him, but we’ll see
They did put just Torchic in XY to be fair, they left out Sceptile and Marshtomp.
Yes but as an event, and that was expanded on in OR/AS where it finally made sense, like they made it, and decided, heck lets release it on this game instead. So not part of the actual game like Charizard is.
“Hmm… Now, what was my cousin’s name again?”
“…”
“Ah yes! DOUCHBAG. That sounds right.”
“Now tell me is my cousin a boy or a girl?”
“…”
Not them redesigning professor oak and calling it a new character ? Madonna tease.
These are the most beautiful Pokemon games ever! (reload)
also seems that Z Moves work like the Mega Evolution button in the screen.
Not exactly a mega but the z crystals yeah…. Z moves is just that powerful move I think
Did you notice that Solgaleo and Lunala are warping in a wormhole like the one from which UB-01 appears? Interesting detail
Yep
I’m not sure I like the idea of there not being an Alolan Cubone. It really makes no sense for it to go from Ground to Ghost/Fire. At least Pikachu and Exeggcute keep their Electric and Grass typings when they evolve into their Alolan form evolutions.
Of all the crazy things to happen this time around, that one’s starting to seem less weird by comparison.
The extreme change is explained in the description on the official website
Looks like a reskinned Professor Oak to me. LOL.
Ahaha at 0:10 into the trailer someone’s got Jessie and James’s Magikarp submarine xD
