Professor Burnet in Sun & Moon?!

by

professor-burnetThe most recent Japanese Pokémon Sun & Moon trailer was an incredible showcase of what has been revealed so far. Featuring the already loveable new Pokémon, the immediately memorable new characters, and the gorgeous scenery of the instantaneous fan favorite Alola Region. The footage was wonderfully edited, being driven by text bubbles exclusively from noteable characters including Professor Kukui, your rival, Hau, all the Trial Captains, and more – but one text bubble stands out among the rest. The phrase in question can be found at the 1:25 mark of the trailer and reads a cut off sentence that talks about “Ultra Beasts” and the word “feared.” But what’s really interesting is who is saying this: Baanetto. Or, in English, Burnet.

For those who don’t remember, Professor Burnet is the researcher that aids you in your journey in the Pokémon Dream Radar 3DS app: the incredibly fun, quick-paced AR game from Gen V. Through the game it is revealed that Burnet studies the “Interdream Zone” (a space between dreams and reality) and that she’s friends with Fennel from college. But other than that not much is known about her.

So lets just assume that this Burnet talking is the one we met in Dream Radar – what does that mean for Sun & Moon? Well, if we look at it in a more serious light, in the latest Aether Foundation focused trailer where Ultra Beasts were first introduced, it seems that UB-01 comes out from a portal – and in the most recent trailer Solgaleo and Lunala jump into one. Many have theorized that these portals are leading to another dimension, but could these portals and Ultra Beats maybe have something to do with the Interdream Zone? Could Burnet be in Alola working for the Aether Foundation as part of her research, similar to Colress’ theorized and possible appearence in Sun & Moon? Could she have been working at a different branch of the AF all along? Or does this mean that a mini game similar to Dream Radar will have a presence in the game? Or does this prove absolutely nothing, we’ll most likely just get a meaningless cameo from Professor Burnet, and we’re reading into it too much? The latter…not so likely. The Pokémon Company is very careful about choosing names and making sure that important character names don’t repeat in the game canon. And it just seems so strange for this previously used name to be included amongst other key characters intentionally if they weren’t going to play a part in the storyline. Either way, only time can tell if Pokémon Sun & Moon will mark the return of Professor Burnet!

So what do you guys think? Do you think this is the same Burnet from Gen V? And how could she be related or fit into what’s happening in Sun & Moon?

  5. I’m actually kind of excited to see who else they decide to bring in. They don’t typically bring in the side people to the main games so with they really ARE “bringing it all together” lol

  7. Hmmm, that’s interesting. Considering that the Interdream Zone is the space between dreams and reality, maybe it’s a connecting point? Or she’s researching how to get to the other side of the portal, to see where the UBs come from?

    Reply

    • Yeah I could see her being the go to person for them when they need info about interdimensional travel. Which makes sense as no other professors or otherwise have that kind of information iirc.

  8. I don’t think they would introduce another character with the same name as another character but it would be really cool if it were the same

  9. Yes yes yessss. Give me more connectivity and continuity between the games. I want burnet, colress, phoebe, volkner, and stuff like that.

  12. There’s also what it seems to be a new Pokemon in the trailer. At 0:41 seconds but its only a split second and you have to pause at the right moment. It seems to be a bunny with pink ears with black tips. A lot of people initially thought it was a Bunnelby, but their ears dont have black tips and their shiny is not pink if I’m not mistaken.

  16. Don’t know if this was already pointed out, but there may be a new fish in the trailer of the 6th of september.
    In the frame below almost all boats have water pokemon style:
    Bottom Left: Magikarp
    Left: Hauntail
    Top Left: Wailord
    Centre-Right: Wailord.

    Now the interesting thing is that those boats respect also colour patterns of real pokemon. Then, who’s the silver fish of the top right boat?

    Reply

  19. Still if what I’ve heard is true we know might happen

    A Wimpod Evo from looks of boat

    A Pink Bunny with Black tips

    And possibly something that looks like Dorimon (Rf) for image (it’s 10 seconds in)

  25. Speaking of Lockstin. He just uploaded a new video that debunks ProtoMario’s theory that Game Freak/Pokemon Company cannot afford it to reboot the franchise. Sales numbers/TV ratings have been steadily declining since gen 2 actually, there was a slight spike with gen 4 but it dropped again after.

    So, in theory, rebooting the franchise might actually end up saving it.

    • Unless Sun/Moon /is/ the reboot. We won’t know how well the Pokemon company is doing until we see sales numbers for this game, see what happens with the NX, and see what Pokemon game comes out for that. They’re not going to scrap all that they’ve built just to start from square one, but they may change a few features or systems around to better appeal to new audiences while keeping their old ones.

      Reply

      • Sun and Moon will add new elements, but at the core it is still the same. You’re a kid traveling a region wtih your pets and you battle other Pokemon and trainers to level up, fight a crime organization and challenge the league (in this case Island Challenges). They add elements to the games, but they don’t change it drastically.

        Reply

        • Indeed, and Gen 8 may change some of that around, but in order to appeal to their target demographic (which, let’s remember, is 10 year-olds, which is why Ash hasn’t aged at all in 20 years), they need to keep the main game relatively simple. Having a clearly defined bad guy, clearly defined goals, and a few good twists in there is what you would expect. It’s our fault for being in our 20+’s that we want more and are frustrated when our expectations are shattered, because GameFreak isn’t marketing those aspects of the game to us older peeps.

          Reply

          • Precisely.

            Frankly I’m perfectly ok with pokemon staying reasonably childish and simple as long as we get some good pokemon and good locations. If pokemon had been dark and got a higher age rating I’d have never been allowed to play it when I was younger.

            Also I think people are really asking way too much from the developers.
            The existing map is huge, we’ve already got two major teams in the story, the new Z moves, Alolan forms, a Rotom pokedex, trial captains etc etc

            And still people want mega evolutions and ash greninja and 101 characters from old games returning. There is a point where you physically cannot put any more in the cartridge or do not have the time to finish everything.

            Anyone who knows anything about game development knows that 70-80% of the programming side of things is fixing bugs, not adding new stuff. Given the amount of stuff we’ve got, there must be at least 10,000 bugs in their bug database.

          • No it isn’t. You obviously don’t understand what reboot means. Look at the new Zelda game. Is it in any way similar to previous titles? Its an open-world action RPG

          • Looks pretty similar to every other Zelda game I’ve seen. You run around, fight monsters, gather tools and abilities, fight more monsters, solve puzzles, curse at the water temple, etc.

          • You forgot that there’s a story involving, magic, demons and a legendary artefact.

            Seriously, Zelda will never escape its tropes 😛

          • To you, fine but it isn’t. Anouama specifically said in 2013 he wanted the next Zelda game to be a completely different experience from previous titles. And thats exactly what it is. There has never before been an open-world Zelda game. Nintendo chose to change the entire concept of the game. That is rebooting

          • Not really.
            The plot was original and there were a few new mechanics, but it was mostly a different take on a Link To The Past.

          • They do something similar with every Zelda game. Even if it’s still based in Hyrule, the gameplay is completely different. As was said before, the Zelda franchise has that sort of flexibility.

            Similarly, they’ve done other kinds of Pokemon games too. Pokken Tournament, Mystery Dungeon, Ranger, Stadium, etc. All of these had vastly different playstyles and stories, different characters, whole different themes, and they can do that, but we’re talking about the main series of Pokemon RPG s.

          • Pokemon has that flexibility too. If Nintendo can change the formula of two of their biggest franchises Zelda and Mario there is literally no arguement to support anything otherwise for Pokemon as well.

          • Mario never really had a formula beyond ‘Jump on platforms’.

            A lot of games were sidescrolling platformers, but they’ve varied to things like Mario Paint and Mario 64 quite early on. Mario Story (Paper Mario) was quite early too, not to mention Super Mario RPG.

          • But there’s no argument to support them changing that formula either, except a bunch of grumpy 20-something’s that want a Pokemon MMO.

          • The fact Sun and Moon has many references to gen 1 (Alola formes, Mimikyu to name a few) and what about the recent TCG expansion being made in the style of the original cards? Hints are everywhere if you know where to look.

          • Of course I do. But LoZ is far more flexible than pokemon.
            Plus Lockstin’s theory of a reboot doesn’t have any real evidence apart from a bunch of cherry picked information to make it seem like SUMO is the end of pokemon.

          • Theories dont have to have evidence, hence why they’re called theories. And he literally showed the sales numbers+total numbers made by the franchise in 20 years. It has been in decline except for a slight spike with gen 4.

          • Still selling 10+ million and it’s unlikely to go under with SUMO. Especially with Go resurging the popularity.

          • Yes, the same people who initially lost interest in Pokemon because it became too stale and the gameplay didn’t grow along with them

          • losing 15 million is pittance compared to the millions of players WORLDWIDE still playing, and again, those numbers are of weekly logins, NOT actual player accounts lost. This just means people are playing it less, which happens with every game. Ever.

          • Completely expected. It was hyping during summer because it was the popular thing.
            Let’s see how many people want to play it when Winter comes XD

          • I couldn’t help but notice in that chart he shows of the value of Pokemon that it’s gone up significantly. Yes, probably due to Pokemon Go, but there are a million factors involved. Inflation, the cost of handheld systems back then versus now, and the changing demographic. Back in Red/Blue days, a gameboy was a godsend on plane rides, road trips, etc to keep kids entertained. Now, kids have smart phones, laptops, and other game consoles and computers to do the same, so parents think, ‘why do they need another 200+ dollar console when he can just play candy crush?’

            And yeah, no evidence needed for theories.. I theorize that the sun is actually blue because aliens put an invisible yellow shield around it. No evidence, just my theory.

          • “And yeah, no evidence needed for theories.. I theorize that the sun is
            actually blue because aliens put an invisible yellow shield around it.
            No evidence, just my theory.”

            Every other theory I read on here.

          • Right, but then what’s the point of calling it a reboot? When Gen 8 comes out, people will still call it Gen 8, even if they change the battle system, only let you access other Pokemon until after you beat the game, etc. As long as it’s a progressive RPG where you go on a journey with a team of Pokemon, it’ll just be the next generation, and people will hail the new/changed features as all well and good.

            Reboot according to some theories DOES mean removing. Lockstin keeps talking about them changing the designs, typings, and lists of the original 151 Pokemon in order to do a reboot. That kind of a thing I just don’t see them doing.

          • Just because some people are so uneducated to think that reboot means removing doesn’t actually mean thats what might happen. Reboot has never been removing, its starting over. Rebirth, resurrection, whatever

          • In every instance of ‘reboot’ or ‘reset’ that I’ve seen, it means a starting over, a fresh start. Reboot of Ninja Turtles, reboot of Transformers, reboot of ReBoot, it’s starting from the beginning, ideally with a new angle. The definition of reboot is to literally boot a computer over again, to restart it.

            We can argue the semantics of the definition all day, and insult each others intelligence (which is super mature btw), or we can agree to disagree. We won’t know either way for another 4+ years anyway, and that’s plenty of time for lots of things to change within the Pokemon franchise.

      • Completely overhaul the franchise. New story, new characters, new gameplay etc. Still set in the same universe and regions, but drastically altered.

  26. Theory: Kukui is actually evil?!

    So as many people have speculated, Aether foundation seem kinda suspicious. I think they are evil and Kukui maybe is in alliance with them. Basically it all starts with Type:Null, who is a chimera and in alchemy a chimera is made when trying to combine multiple creatures together. People have already pointed out that Null’s helmet has four rods that look very similar to Arceus and that maybe it was a failed attempt at creating Arceus. Both Arceus and Null are both Normal type however Arceus can become any type. Look at Type:Null’s name though…null means invalid or zero, perhaps this is referencing that Null’s Type cannot change therefore it is a failure. In alchemy some believed that by combining the four elements of alchemy it can create God itself. The symbols for the four elements sulfur, salt, mercury, lead all show some resemblances to the starters and rockruff (who share a secret remember?). Null’s tail looks like a mermaid tail (Popplio final evo?), Null has green talons, the black body and legs look like litten and the head could be Rockruff (maybe Null’s mane is from Rockruff’s evo?). And who created Null? I think Aether Foundation did, Aether is the 5th element in alchemy and refers to some kind of divine substance. Aether also wear all white (Arceus is also white) so perhaps they have some sort of God complex. Many have also thought maybe Gladion (who uses Null) is related to the leader of Aether (can’t remember name) but left and took Null with him. People also believe that Lily is connected to Aether because she wears all white and looks similar to Gladion and the Aether leader. She also works with Kukui for unknown reasons. Perhaps she is working with the professor because he supplies the materials for these Arceus creating experiments Aether performs. Remember this theory believes that Rowlet, Litten, Popplio are all needed to try and create Arceus. Although Kukui doesn’t give us our pokemon this does not mean he gives no one Pokemon, and as a professor I am sure he has access to multiples of the three starters, which he secretly gives to Lily to bring back to Aether. Is this why something was in her bag? Was she just moving a pokemon for Aether to use? Those three are covered, but Rockruff is still needed and if you remember in a few trailers when Kukui is talking to use over video chat, a Rockruff pops up meaning maybe he is supplying Aether with starters and Rockruffs for their experiments….Thoughts?

    Reply

        • Because that would mean ignoring Kukui and Guzma being failed trial captains, causing Guzma to start a villainous team and Kukui to become a professor. One does not become a pokemon professor and then become evil. Too much effort just to just flip the tables years down the line.

          Reply

          • Kukui could have become a professor just to look for ways to obtain more power? Not saying he will be evil just food for thought

          • He wouldn’t need to be a professor to do that.

            He’d have better luck as an explorer or founding a team seeking power or something.
            Professors are mostly stuck in their labs all day or occaisionally out in the field just observing pokemon and making notes.

            Becoming a pokemon professor to attain power would be like David Attenborough wacthing animals s to attain power.

  28. Guys. Why are Lusamine’s eyes so low on her face?
    The top of her hair his where the top of her head must be and if you can actually see her eyes, then they’re REALLY low on her face.
    (Also, If we’re still going with the Lusamine is a crazy scientist who experimented on her sister/daughter Lillie, then maybe she experiments on herself later and becomes a Synthetic Tapu. I mean… Look at her hair.)

  29. Hey guys. look at 1 min 47 seconds
    Popplio is attacking something with a z-move, and it looks really weird… IDK what it is

    Reply

  31. This pose is different to the other Z Moves. The rest have the fiery background and type/Pokemon related poses, this, this is something different.
    Could this be Mega Evolution?
    We know the bracelet has a circle slot at the bottom, the Keystone fits easily.

    Another idea is all Z Stones working in unison, though I’m not quite sure how that would work.

    Reply

    • They’re all different in one way or another.
      I’ll look up more of the context later but this could be summoning a ride or something.

      Reply

      • The context is, it’s shown after various Z moves.
        All the others have a red fiery background, and type certain poses.
        This one he bends down, then up like this, then an explosion of light, and the bracelets symbol flashes on screen.
        Certainly not a ride.

        Reply

          • 1:40 is the start of the Z move part, watching these is important as it shows why this one stands out, then the 2:00 mark is this one, which is different.

          • Thanks.
            I think the missing aura is probably because it’s special or something.
            It’s definately a Z move though.

          • That was another though, as it could be for a certain Pokemon, but it’s definitely stands out from the others

          • The sparkle effect indicates to me that it might be for a legendary or island guardian or something.
            Or maybe it’s the trainer’s first attempt at using a Z move, or attempting to use a Z move without full Z power.

          • I think it’s interesting we didn’t see what it did, as in the after effect, as we did for the rest, seeing that it did would answer it.

    • That’s what I’m hoping, but the Z-move symbol appears over the character when he does this, instead of the Mega-Evolution symbol… Plus, the normal fire doesn’t appear behind the trainer.

      Time will tell!

      Reply

      • I’m thinking that the Symbol could just be the bracelets symbol.
        OR
        A Z Move/Mega Fusion, possibly what Ash Greninja is. For now we’ll nickname he idea, Z-Evolution.

        Reply

        • Why do people still think Ash-Greninja is a fusion? Its essentially a Mega Evolution, but without the need of a stone because the bond between trainer and Pokemon even surpasses that of a regular Mega. That, and Ash’s Greninja is obviously a descendant of the Ninja Village Hero

          Reply

          • I didn’t say Ash Greninja was a fusion.
            I said it could be a fusion between Z moves and Mega Evolution, a Z Evolution.

          • I for one wouldn’t miss it, we’ve got way cooler stuff already confirmed. And by the point you acquired a Greninja it probably wouldn’t be that entertaining anyway.

          • Meh I think it should stay anime-exclusive. The XYZ arc experienced a slight spike in popularity, primarily due to Ash-Greninja. People loved it that Ash had his own unique and very much overpowered Pokemon

          • More to the point, why do people even think that would make it into the game at all?
            The king of Pokelantis never made it in.
            Pikachu’s boxing form never made it in.

          • Its Ash’s own exclusive Mega Evolution. Would also be too much of a hassle for the designers to come up with several Synchro designs.

          • It’s not really a mega evolution, it’s something different entirely.
            It would be easier for designers to leave it out entirely and focus on the other elements already encorporated.

          • The king of pokelantis wasn’t a Pokemon, and all pikachu did was put in boxing gloves, this is a while differetn thing entirely, and I wouldnt rule it out as we still don’t know a lot about the games despite how much we’ve been shown, it’s still very much possible.
            A Better example would have been Crystal Onix by the way. Man I’d love that in game.

          • The King of Pokelantis was an ancient character whom Ash shared similarities with (akin to the Ninja Village Hero).

            Crystal Onix is in the same category as Pikachu wearing boxing gloves: a one off event. By that logic we’d also be getting Pinkan island and Pinkan berries.

            And there are whole articles dedicated to the differences between the anime ant the games. You might as well argue we’re going to be getting a way of fusing moves together like they do in the anime, like Ash’s Buizel’s Ice Aqua Jet.

          • Again, that would actually be cool but I know that’s doubtful, like how it would be cool for pokemon to evolve mid battle, between gaining exp and the opponent choosing their next pokemon obviously. Cool but probably not gonna happen.
            But nothing seems to be getting in the way of “Ash” Greninja existing in the games.
            Right now I feel it’s something to do with Z Moves, crossed with evolution, it would make sense, but we’ll see. It’s just too prominent for it not to, not a one off thing, and with the anime arc getting closer and closer to the end, we’ll find out soon

          • I don’t think it makes any more sense than move fusions. If anything move fusions make more sense since contests had a mechanism in which moves could be chained to produce bonus effects.

            Aside from anything else, the player is not Ash, so ‘Ash Greninja’ wouldn’t have a reason to resemble Ash, it’d have to resemble the player. It would also imply every player is a decendant of the Ninja warrior. Not to mention it doesn’t use a stone of any kind, something which is required for both mega evolution and Z moves.

          • All I’m saying is Syncho Evolution or Z Evolution or whatever you want to call it could very well be in the games, and related to Z Moves. Maybe not Ash Greninja exactly no matter how cool that would be, but something along those lines. Just because you don’t think so, doesn’t mean it can’t happen. From what I’ve read on this site you’re only here to tell people they’re wrong tbh.
            Also, just cause it doesn’t have something, doesn’t mean it’s not it, Mewtwo and Diancie both mega evolved in the anime without Mega Stones and Keystones, and Zygarde doesn’t need the Z Cube, so that’s not the best reasoning. Now an other idea is that it’s just a coincidence it resembles Ash, and is in fact what all Greninja look like in that state.
            This conversation is over because you clearly just can’t accept that someone has an idea you don’t like.
            If it doesn’t happen I’ll accept that, but I’m pretty sure it will, and won’t back out of the idea until actually proven.

          • It would have to be its own mechanic and would have to apply to more than just one Pokemon or it’s not worth the time it would cost the developers to add it.
            I’m not saying this because I agree/disagree with it being added as a concept, I’m thinking realistically from the perspective of the programmers/developers and saying it’s unlikely.

            I only disagree with ideas that I don’t think have enough logical foundation underpinning them. A lot of people come up with ideas and say “this is going to happen” just because they want them to happen rather than because there is sufficient evidence to make them plausible/likely.

            The Diancie incident was actually explained “At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to Bonnie earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.”. As for the Z cube, its functionality hasn’t been explained yet and a Zygarde has existed without it in XY, so there’s nothing to say it needs the Z cube or that Zygarde’s forms are even related to mega evolution. Before mega evolution was around, pokemon did just change form, it’s only in recent years that people are quick to rush to mega evolution as an explanation to things and it’s lead to them forgetting that simple items can be used.

            Had the anime explained Ash Greninja as being item-related or were the bond phenomenon being introduced as a major function that can affect other pokemon I’d be more open to the idea, but they decided to explain it as something mystical and intangible and it only features in the anime.

            If more genuine evidence turns up I might change my mind, but until then the only suggestions we have that it might happen are from reddit and 4chan, which aren’t exactly trustworth sources of information. Their rumours are wrong far more often than they are correct.

  32. Hmmm ok I was looking at the part that @spectralseraph:disqus was talking about and slowed down the video. I took a screen shot of it too. It kind of looks like it has legs. Maybe it’s Salandit? That’s the best guess I’ve got anyway.

    • “His goal is to discover the true way to draw out the strength of Pokémon.”
      So basically Mega Evolution and Z Moves
      In game evidence: “In Pokémon X and Y, a Backpacker found on Route 10 references him by saying, “A few years back, this really strange dude named Colress told me that these big stones emit some kind of special energy.””

      • In XY there’s a backpacker on route 10 who tells you ”years ago, there was this really strange man named Colress who told me there are these big stones that emit a special energy”

  41. What if….
    THE ROTOM POKEDEX IS DEVELOPED AND MADE BY CORLESS
    I know it sounds weird, but he may be in the game
    And to my knowledge, besides battle facilities, no in game trainers BESIDES Corless have a Rotom
    And this may seem weird, but Corless begins to realize the bonds between person and pokemon are what makes their true powers come forth.
    And the Rotom Dex is said to (I forgot where from) is to help build bond between trainer and pokemon
    So perhaps Corless made (Or helped make) the rotom dex
    Or i could just be overreacting

  53. Just a reminder that the tournament begins in less than 24 hours! 😀 Time to finish my team. And finalize the tournament style. xD Lol I’m the biggest procrastinator. Is everyone okay with: split the 20 participants into 2 groups of 10, round robin with your group, and ten the top 4 from each group move on to a single elimination tournament to decide type choice order. Sound good? I need some feedback, I want to know before people don’t like the style.

  54. Thinking about the main story, we have just few things to do:

    – Defeat 18 Captains with their trials.
    – Defeat 18 Boss Pokemon.
    – Discover where Z-moves comes from and collecting all stones with the help of Kukui.
    – Discover what’s behind Alola Form with the help of Oak’s cousin.
    – Do something that will allow us to use pokeride.
    – Defeat the 4 Kahuna of Alola.
    – Find and probably fight and capture the 4 Tapu Pokemon.
    – Discover and stop Team Skull from doing what they want to.
    – Discover what Aether Fondation is really doing.
    – Find out what the hell Zygarde means for this new region and collect all cells.
    – Discover what UB are and what they came to Alola for, maybe fight them.
    – Solve the plot around Solgaleo and Lunala, catch them and discover how their phases work.
    – Discover why Lillie is so important.
    – Discover who is Gladion and what exactly is Type: Null.
    – Maybe Magearna is involved in the plot…

    Oh God, I see myself going up and down from an island to the other, then go back to the first and start it again. I already know I won’t have the time to go and see my mom before becoming the champion, again.

  56. Woah! While breeding my final Pokemon, I just got my first ever 6 IV! That’s odd considering I’ve bred like a box and a half of competitive Pokemon.

        • Ah, good to hear. I’ve got about 1/4 of a box not counting the ones I stashed away to be 5IV breeding slaves to help speed up the breeding of other species.

          Assuming you’re using a ‘power’ item and a ‘destiny knot’, and assuming both parents have the same sets of perfect IVs there’s a 1/5 chance of getting a pokemon with 5 IVs and a 1/160 chance of getting a pokemon with 6IVs (I think). Just so you know the odds, so you can appreaciate the luck even more 😛

          • I think I’ve caught about 8 shinies in the wild. 3 of which were caught in one day, which was easily the luckiest thing to ever happen to me in pokemon 😛

            Only ever bred one shiny though I think. I’m about 4 pokemon away from the shiny charm though (unless it’s caught and not seen).

          • I’ve got the oval charm, that’s for the regional dex (seeing).

            Just checked, aparently shiny is for capturing, but excludes event pokemon, so theoretically I might already be able to get it (unless things like Dialga/Palkia/Giratina count).

  60. Hey guys…

    If you think the chinese riddler’s riddles on leak were a shock to all of us, then perhaps with what I’m guessing based on the games as a whole would shock you even more, and what I mean by that, is where the next regions will be based.

    So first of, for all those asking for a Pokemon Region based in Germany, India, or any other place throughout the world. May I say to most that those dreams will never happen, seeing that the Pokemon Company have already based their regions on these areas. And when I say Areas, I mean the geography of the world.

    For example…

    Gen 1 – 4: Japan
    Gen 5: North America (New York City)
    Gen 6: Europe (France)
    Gen 7: Oceanic (Hawaii)

    Now, if we jump beyond the possible release of a remake of Gen 4 with Gen 7, and go straight into the future to Gen 8. We must first of all think of what region is this new Pokemon game going to be based on. Best way of looking at it, is by looking at Gen 5, or it’s remake around that time. If we look at the pokemon in that game, you would find a few that seem to match a South American Theme. And if so, then could it be a hint to where this region for Gen 8 might be based on? Probably based on either Rio De Jenero or Mexico City. If we jump further to Gen 9, and a possible remake to Gen 6, another pattern would be seen in the form of Pancham. And quite possibly that eastern station in Kalos. Now, what if for argument’s sake, that this station doesn’t stop in Italy or Germany, but instead would stop in China (Asia), so could it be that Kalos would might have ties, or have been at war with a Chinese based region to the east thousands of years ago? And finally to gen 7, and the Koala Pokemon, it’s too obvious of which Region for Gen 10 that’s ganna be.

    But don’t say that guessing of which geography based region is the only thing I have up my sleeves. Another is with the Fire Type Pokemon being based on the Chinese Zodiac. So far we’ve gotten 7, when now there’s only 5 to go.

    So, here is the idea based on this theory guess is as follows…

    Gen 8: South America (Rio/Mexico City) Fire Type: Ox (Gen 5 remake)
    Gen 9: Asia (Beijing/Hong Kong) Fire Type: Rabbit (Gen 6 remake)
    Gen 10: Australasia (Sydney) Fire Type: Sheep (Gen 7 remake)

    Which now leaves to two more regions left based on Geography, and my guess could be as follows…

    Gen 11: Africa (South Africa) Fire Type: Snake (Gen 8 remake)
    Gen 12: Middle East (Dubai/Israel) Fire Type: Horse (gen 9 remake)

    Perhaps after Gen 12, that’s where Pokemon would might call it a day, and might finish things off with remakes of Gen 10, 11 and 12.

    But that’s only a short theory, I would like to hear from you of what you might think of this possibility?

  61. I just noticed this.
    They revealed name, type, and abillity of the legendaries, mentioned they have other “forms” than neglected to ever mention them again.

  64. Could someone tell me what the very last dialogue box of the recent cool trailer says? Kukui is speaking in Japanese and I don’t understand it.

  65. I am so EXCITED!
    We’re likely to see CoroCoro leaks in the next few hours!!!!! *____*
    I AM DYING to know the secret behind Rockruff!
    So, what are everyone’s final bets before we get a definite answer?
    I’m in the majority that goes along with the leaks.
    But does anyone have a differing view?

  67. If anything other than the starters’ evolutions have been shrouded in mystery since SM’s reveal, it would have to be Marshadow. Any thoughts, perhaps after months of forgetting about it, as to what it may be?

  73. If Ultra Beasts (Ultra Chimeras in French like @Aqualate:disqus said) are a human creation that means that UB-02 will be stronger than 01, 03 than 02 and so on… At some point they could have reached the “perfect” one and stopped creating versions.
