[UPD] Pokémon Sun & Moon News Confirmed for September 14th

The next batch of Pokémon Sun & Moon news has been confirmed for September 14th! As usual we’re expecting another brand new trailer that will most likely lineup with whatever new info we get in this month’s CoroCoro (which could leak as early as the 9th).

At this point it’s all up in in the air on what we could get: Starter evolutions? More Ultra Beasts? The secret behind Rockruff’s evolution? Gary Oak’s Alolan form? Another evil organization?

Either way, the news drop will happen on September 14th at 10PM JST – which is 6AM PST, 9AM EST, 2pm BST, and 11pm AEST! So stay tuned because we’ll be sure to be here to cover it the moment it drops!

UPD: In addition to this, TV Tokyo has confirmed that a big announcement will air alongside next week’s anime episode. It’s unknown what the announcement will bring but we’ll update as and when it happens!

  1. Tbh I don’t think we’ll get the starter evolutions until October, but I think it’s damn time we see Rockruff’s so we can see if these leaks saying it has a split evolution is real lol

    • Whatever we get on the 14th will most likely be the same as what we get in CoroCoro.

      CoroCoro is always released the 15th of each month, but we can always expect leaks starting from the 9th of each month.

  2. Honestly, getting the Starter Pokemon Middle Stages wouldn’t be too much of a stretch, considering XY’s Middle Stages were shown in the October issue of Corocoro, which did release right around this time.

    Plus, it’s a little strange that we’ve gotten so much crazy new info, but one of the biggest and most desired bits of news has gone unannounced still. (That being the Middle stages of the starters.)

  3. I really hope they reveal the starter final evolutions and their secrets before the game is released. I want to know if I can still use litten or not. right now I can’t choose litten.

    • Same bro. If kitten is fighting, it’s a no go for me. Only because I won’t be able to fathom why game freak would make a 4th fire/fighting starter when there’s 16 other possible combinations for dual typing. But if litten does [and please god let this be true] become dark type then I’ll love it forever and we will live a happy life

      Reply
      • even if it isn’t, the design just screams “might as well be fire/fighting” ive always used the grass starter in every game and none of them have ever disappointed in the design department but damn did that litten evo ruin it for me.

  4. Has anybody ever noticed, that behind the Sundial in Anistar City are a group of islands and an ocean, but that doesn’t make sense at all because Anistar City isn’t on a coastline or near the ocean on the Kalos map. Its located near mountains.

    Reply
          • The problem with comparing real world maps to in game maps is that because the games are traditionally tile based they always locked the game to a single north-facing view so the in game map never seems to match up with the art version 😛

            But yeah, they’re probably in the river.

          • I mean, I will admit, a lot of the locations in XY had me confused in the beginning, especially with the images no longer being locked in a consistently north-facing position.
            Coumarine City still confuses me sometimes.

          • I must admit, splitting a city in two was a weird idea.
            But to be honest I never revisited Coumarine, so I kind of forgot about it 😛

  5. I was leaning on more towards Moon before but I don’t really like playing the games during the night (I even change my 3DS clock so it’s always sunny). I just hope Sun has the exclusives I want. I need the whole pokedex to leak already so I can make my team!

    Reply
  6. Would it be possible that Sugimori/pokemon designers are actually redesigning the final evolutions of Litten Popplio and Rowlet? I mean Sugimori blocked several people on twitter who sent him leaks of the final evolutions – and tbh i wouldn’t be too upset if they did redesign them…

    Reply
  7. The next news update will show Rockruff’s evolution, a few new Pokemon, covering a few new characters, and potentially starter evolutions. I feel like we will see the evolutions in September!

      • not when you lose all the time and feel like a worthless failure
        i nearly had these guys but like always landorus is bulky and Slowbro is fucking impossible to kill once it megas and uses calm mind because they spam slack off until you miss or the attack weakens

        then on the next i could’ve had a clean Char y kill with Breloom but rock tomb misses and roosts

        Reply
  8. How’s everyone gonna feel if Sun and Moon have a small amount of Pokemon like XY but has a great story do y’all think that’ll make up for it????

    Reply
    • THAT WOULD PISS ME OFF
      I want a huge selection of absolutely new Pokemon and i don’t mean those alolan shits because all of them are just reskins of old Pokemon to avoid making new ones
      i barely like any of the new ones and if they just flood the dex with Alolan Forms then there’s nothing i can use that i want

      Reply
    • Honestly it wouldn’t bother me. I didn’t mind the small amount of Pokemon in XY. What bothered me was the empty world they put them in. Sun and Moon seem to be teeming with all kinds of tings so I don’t think that’ll be a problem lol

      Reply
    • I’m hoping for a few more than xy. Gen 6 just felt so short and easy, and there are so many type combos that haven’t been explored yet…

      Reply
    • I’m glad ppl are with me I hope it’s a good story but I fell in love with Pokemon well for the Pokemon and how they come up with new ones each gen

      Reply
  9. What if they reveal a Marlin or swordfish Pokemon or a hula skirt Pokemon to go with the old but new Pokemon released like a long time ago, Comfey?

    Reply
        • I personally don’t believe it’s made from specific parts of other Pokemon and I’m shocked that so many fans are reaching to make these connections… I’ve heard everything from vaporeon to poplio to arceus to dialga to skatmory, rowlett, dusclops and yanmega. Aside from the fact that this is NOT how dna works (read: you don’t just mix up Dna and get specific body parts from the original strand) , how would the creators of Type Null ever get the Dna of fucking Arceus?? He’s more of like a man made mutant creature. A hodgebodge of creatures.

  10. I just rewatched the trailer from last night and once again I noticed that they skipped out on showing us the fly animation for the Poke ride Charizard……..They’ve shown the other modes of transportation in action, but only ever show the initial animation for when you mount Charizard…..I want to see what that mode is like…..lol

    Reply
    • OH!!!! Also I just noticed that the player is fishing on Lapras’ back!! I have a good feeling they finally scrapped HMs for the Poke Ride feature!!! Which I’ll be more than happy with lol

      Reply
      • I wanna say it will be like soar seeing as the other ones are basically land and sea versions of it. The one thing that makes me think it may be weird is the way Charizard flies. Lati@s at least can glide and it looks pretty natural to stop and go and to move seamless, but Charizard needs to flap its wings in order to fly. If it’s like soar will the animation for it be all janky with the models constantly bobbing up and down to the the wing movement? lol

        Reply
        • I feel like it’ll be like soar too though because it wouldn’t really fit with the theme of the pokeride if it’s not.

          I would imagine there’d be a slight bob up and down if we’re just up in the sky chilling. Probably not all that realistic, but then again we are flying on a dragon lol.

          Reply
          • Yeah I guess I could it looking more like a gliding motion when in movement rather than a constant bobbing. I think I’d get sick while riding Charizard if that were the case lol

          • I hope there are other flying pokemon other than charizard too. I just want to know everything about the pokeride…like right now

          • Yeah me too! I want to ride on a Pidgey!!!!!………….No but seriously I’d like to ride on something like Noivern or Salamence lol

  11. Aether Foundation theory:

    Gladion is Lusamine’s younger brother, and as a child knew about what goes on inside the Aether Paradise. The Aether Foundation’s ultimate goal is to use Ultra Beasts for their own purposes. In pursuit of a being powerful enough to defeat Ultra Beasts, the Aether foundation synthesized the essence of Powerful pokemon into one being, resulting in Type: Null. One of the Pokemon that were synthesized to create Type: Null was a rare Pokemon and was somehow closely attached to Gladion, and the synthesizing process resulted in the death of this Pokemon. Out of rage, Gladion escaped the Aether paradise along with Type: Null. Although he had taken Type: Null, he knew that the Aether foundation would only recreate another one and was also aware that the creation of Type: Null requires the essence of this rare Pokemon. This is why he lends his assistance to Team: Skull, in hopes that Team Skull, with his aid, would be able find the said rare Pokemon before the Aether Foundation does.

    • I’d say that he is the founder of team skull and at the end , his goal is to capture all pokemon in order to save them from eathers scientific extravaganza. However , he needs to be stopped cause well it’s insane , eather too at the end turns out evil. And the protagonist needs to stop them both with the help of zygarde ( since he is the control pokemon maybe he could eventually control the ultra beast created).

  12. Ok so the guy in blue….who he be? lol At first I though maybe Sycamore, but I’m not sure it makes sense for him to hang out with Sophocles….Then again we know very little about Sophocles himself lol

  13. WOW! Honestly im not surprised sun/moon keep pushing out trailers here and there! its amazing how much we’ve gotten yet so little we know

  14. hmm reading a bit and using google translate that riddler was talking about the villain “I will not mention –
    skeleton of a building villain team also said before, if you see a design, then it does not matter a bit disappointed, as the villain of this fact. . . “

    Reply
  15. @Aqualate:disqus said sophocles looks too white to be Hawaiian so I did a bit of research and found everyone some fun facts:

    About 10% of the people on Hawaii are native hawaiians.
    The rest are mainly asians (38%), white people (24%), or mixed race (23%)

    With that knowledge, enjoy your trip to Alola >:D

  16. I feel like the big tv announcement will be about the next season of the anime. .. but I always guess wrong about reveals so.. you know… Whatever -,-

  17. Regional Variant Researcher: Is This Professor Oak’s Alola Form?!
    Samson Oak does research on the regional variants that have taken root in the Alola region. He’s a cousin of the Professor Oak—the famous authority on Pokémon research in the Kanto region. The two could practically be twins!

    Reply
  18. Following Oak’s black cousin lead, alolan gary would be a black dude with dreadlocks, and alolan misty could be a black sister with a huge afro.

  19. September 14th’s update on Pokemon Sun and Moon will have Alolan forms of Pichu, Pikachu, Persian, Exeggcute, and Cubone.

    September 14th’s update will also add the Alola Guardian of Akala Island, plus more new Pokemon, plus starter evolutions, plus Rockruff evolution, more Alolan forms, plus a few new Mega Evolutions, plus an update on Ash-Greninja, plus Marshadow.

  20. With the update of the latest Japanese trailer on Wishiwashi being the Totem Pokemon likely for Lana’s challenge brings a major concern for those lame ass Artist leaks (the first batch) being real. He said Wishiwashi would be a Totem Pokemon but that could of been a lucky guess (He didn’t mention Totem Alolan Raticate). I’m talking about the leaker before the other leaker that drew the Snowman, Totem, and Crabrawler’s version exclusive counterpart. That other leaker that drew the other three said that 90% of the other leaker’s info was correct and that the fire pig, Bounsweet’s evo, and the spider monkey were fake. Those three were not very well liked by me, so it’s possible he could of used it as a ploy to please the auidence. Do you guys think those leaks are now real with the new information?

    • Why do you guys keep up with the “leakers” so vehemently? None of them have proven to really be credible. We get OFFICIAL information a few times a month. Why spend so much time trying to figure out which leaker said what who got what right and blah blah blah.

      Reply
          • It proves a point though. Anything with even the slightest credibility or enough fan service will get picked up as gospel for theoryists.

          • I typically apply Ockham’s razor when coming up with theories (fewest new assumptions, base ideas on existing evidence), or I spout a theory and forget about it because I’m just throwing an idea out there.

            Ultimately I tend to ignore leaks and spend time looking deeper into trailers, which sometimes leads to new finds.

          • That one’s pretty obvious though, it’s one of its most notable traits.

            I mean things like how the Japanese and Hawaiian kid in the live action trailers seem to be a parallel to the player and Hau in terms of role and possible interaction.
            And the levels of team Skull’s pokemon in various locations (giving an indication as to the order the areas are traversed in).

      • Actually there are a few leakers that ARE very credible at this point. Some being the Chinese leaks, the Riddler, and even those 4Chan leaks that predicted Bewears english name. The rest are up in the air/full of crap tho lol

        Reply
        • The ‘predicting bewear’ thing is a bit of a stretch because the leaker never explicitly stated the name they said ‘something I’ve said is a hint towards a pokemon name’ to make it purposely ambiguous. The chance of any word they said having a corellation to a pokemon name is quite high.

          Reply
          • Hardly……..they could have easily said something else that had nothing to do with the name “Bewear” They however did and not only said it in passing, but made everyone aware that it was a hit at Bewears name. It was an accident if you ask me it was deliberate.

          • Yeah, but he never said ‘a new pokemon is called bewear’. He just said ‘one of the 300 words I typed has something to do with a pokemon name’ which is basically a get out of jail free card.

          • We already knew about bewear from CoroCoro. He out right said that Mimikyus name stayed the same and when someone asked what Bewears name was he told them to beware of fake leaks. It was in direct context to Bewears name…..It wasn’t just a thing floating out in the middle of nowhere. He said for a purpose.

          • Only problem is it’s impossible to tell if it’s the same guy.
            It’s impossible to know who’s who, all of that could be the same person, or someone could be replying to themselves on purpose.

          • True, but it’s hard to imagine something so specific is simply a guess. It’s not like that was just floating around and it just so happened to hit the mark. It’s a very specific name for a very specific Pokemon. Either way I guess it doesn’t really matter at this point lol…..Also…I’m not gonna lie….I don’t remember what got us into this whole conversation about the Bewear leaker hahaha

          • You listing credible leaks.
            I concede they’re credible, but there’s no way of knowing who posted them, so it’s irrelivent.

  22. According to the New Chinese Riddler it shows Sneasel and Weavile get Alolan’s They screw up their designs if made I shall ATTACK!!!

  25. Not sure who it was, but someone told me the giant tree on the northern western island is just a very big tree with no purpose. Here’s a picture that basically debunks that. If it has no purpose, how come there’s signs all over the place, and even this special path leading to its entrance?

  26. okay , my tournament team is officially ready ( i just went from 1500 to 1650 on the ranked battle spot without a loss) i also took the time to get all the pokemon in my team as their shiny form ( granted most of them have a misplaced IV or two ) thru trading and such. Anyone who wants to battle me is welcome to. 4871-4094-0555 my IGN is Paul.

  27. So here’s my prediction for next week. In CoroCoro we get Rockruffs evo, the starter evos and the Cutiefly evo. There might be info in addition to that, but idk my brain is not in a good place to think. anyway then on the 14th we’ll get a full explanation of the connection between the 4 Pokemon with a hint or something towards the starters final evos. lol

  28. Sooo oak “getting an alolan form”… do you guys think this hints that alolan forms are only for gen 1 pokes? Either way i wonder if samson oak has a grandson named gerry

  29. “UPD: In addition to this, TV Tokyo has confirmed that a big announcement will air alongside next week’s anime episode. It’s unknown what the announcement will bring but we’ll update as and when it happens!”

    XY&Z season ends in October (the first episode in that month already hinted that two members of Satoshi’s current team might leave the group), and Sun&Moon season begins early or midway November inline with the game release.
