The 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?

Sorry guys, it’s not Volkner. It’s just a new trainer class. (refresh for image)
But the pants and sleeves are different. Also that person has yellow trim on their shirt and this guy doesn’t.
They’re different styles because they’re different genders. The female is more stylized, but they’re likely the same class.
I don’t believe youuuuuu!!!
Ah well. I cannot force my opinion on anyone, but I do think my observation has more credence than the Volkner theory.
Volkner is unlikely, imo
Hmmm interesting, but I’m not sure I buy it. I’m not sure it’s Volkner, but it’s certainly not a nobody lol
Wes said it WASN’T Volkner just in case you read that wrong.
I meant I’m not sure it’s Volkner either…….Maybe try and lay off there huh bud?
You said “I’m not sure it’s Volkner” which sounds like you thought they said “It’s Volkner”.
I would have used italics instead of caps but I can never remember the tag for them. Next time I’ll use bold
I’m not completely convinced, but I’m more convinced of that than I have been of most other things today.
Yeah, I would’ve preferred a less blurry screenshot, but that’s the best I could do. When you watch it in action, however, it does look more like the same general outfit, in my opinion.
I’ve got one (only slightly better), give me a second…

Are those high heels?
I think so
(Pssh. NO. Obviously she’s a magical wizard that Lusamine experimented on so now she can float.)
So is alolan raichu
Yeah. It’s tail is so big because that’s where Lusamine injected the Unicorn Pee Syrum
“That’s why it’s tail is so big – it’s full of secrets.”
Alolan Rapidash Pee. Cuz Alolan Radish is a Fairy/Fire type unicorn.
Alolan Radish: Fire/FAIRY
Alolan Chansey: Grass/FAIRY
Alolan Diglett: Flying/FAIRY
Alolan Kanto starters: Pure FAIRY.
So on…..
You get fairy type, and you get fairy type, YOU’RE ALL GETTING FAIRY TYPE!!!!!!
YOU GET 50% OFF A USED CAR! YOU GET 50% OFF A USED CAR!
YES! THANK YOU!
Radish?
Rapidash

I need that radish
It is a woman, so yes.
It was more a I don’t think they’ve rendered anyone having to walk in heels in the overworld type remark 😛
I don’t see any problem with it. The heels probably aren’t visible because of the distance culling.
That’s a point, I wonder if pokemon has a LOD system…
If Lockstin did Pokemon theories during B/W days… I think most of us would be left a little underwhelmed by the actual product. Even if 25% or 10% of his theories come into fruition, I doubt Sun/Moon will go that deep.
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.
Or maybe 4 groups of 5 that send two each? What do you all think?
I think that’s pretty good!
Thanks! 😀 I have the brackets, I’ll publish them on a new forum post relatively soon.
Wait. What time tomorrow. I am absolutely not ready, but I can be if you give me a time.
Evening tomorrow until however long we need. If you’re busy, that’s absolutely okay, but if it’s like 2 weeks later and you haven’t done any matches, then we may have to sort something out.
Ok lol. I’m not that busy. I just have changing plans sometimes, but I’m sure I can block out some time for battling. 🙂
Sounds good to me. I just need to know when
I think that’ll work. I’m just excited to participate even though I expect I’ll lose early on. 🙂
Same
I’m so nervous. I haven’t battled in over a year. I just hope I can get in the final eight, my types aren’t exactly fought over lol.
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.
so much
how much y’all wanna bet we’ll pretty much beat the game in 2 days flat
And before you say that you’ll take your time but honestly the moment you get our sweaty mits on the thing we’ll be playing it until our DS’s dry out
Well, you’ve got 5.
Erm, 18? Arbitrary number.
There’s not much behind alolan forms, it’s just natural selection in action.
Zygarde will probably be a minor thing, like Rayquaza and the Regis were for the original Ruby and Sapphire.
Everything else is more or less right.
In fact, Z-stone are more then 18 counting the peculiar ones (like snorlax). If Zygarde and Alola Form are just small things then why GF made Oak’s cousin and Platan assistants come to Alola? There’s clearly a plot with this two, too.
Not that arbitrary actually. A lot of people think there’ll be a trial for each type and that would round up to 18. Whether it’ll actually be a thing is up in the air at this point tho lol
Sounds like wishful thinking to me.
Could be, but in a small way it does make some kind of sense lol
Would be an uneven distribution across the islands. Also the totem pokemon’s types are seemingly irrelivent to the trial – as a side thought.
I suppose, but it’s just an idea. I guess we’ll find out sooner rather than later tho lol
We’ve still got over a month before the game comes out, I call that later.
That’s a lot, not a few.
Depends what you’re comparing it to.
Compared to XY.
That’s not very fair, pretty much every game had more to do than XY XD
True lol.
I have already found what Type: Null is: the best Pokemon ever!
where corocoro scan leak?
somewhere over the rainbow….
A bit early for that. It will most likely leak on the 10-13th. Maybe 9th if we’re lucky
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.
Wow! Congrats 😀
Haha thanks! I need to name it “Perfection” or something.
What Pokemon is it? I can give you a name that’s funny
Larvitar. Take your best shot.
Ooh. That one’s hard…
Karma? Just sounds cool with it being a dark type and it sounding a bit like Larva
It’s gonna evolve tho. But the dark type thing is good
“I can’t believe I’m not a dragon” XD
“Exeggutor Envy” XD
Seriously though…
Erm…
“Petrasaurus”? (Petra ‘rock’, Saurus ‘lizard’)
“Rockzilla”?
“Rockodile”?
“Wickedon”? (Don ‘tooth’)
“Sinisaurus”? (Sinister)
“Akuiwa” (Evil Boulder/Rock)
“Tokage” (Tokage ‘Lizard’, Kage ‘Shadow’)
Do the competative pokemon all have 5 IVs?
I’m on about 3x 6IV pokemon now I think 😛
Yep.
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 😛
Wow, that’s pretty odd. I’ve gotten two shinies through competitive breeding but only one 6 IV. xD
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).
It is caught. You get the oval charm for seeing them all.
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).
Is attract allowed in OU?
Yep!
Thanks 🙂
Don’t worry. I’ll try not to be too annoying with it 😉
It’s fine! I’ll just hope we aren’t matched up
Lol. I may not even use it.
Son of a . . .
D: I’m sorry!
I’m just joking. xD sorry I just couldn’t help myself. That move has a bad record for me. xD
Yeah same. That’s why I wanna use it TO DESTROY PEOPLE HAHAHAHAHA
omg its so cute though

I’m amazed the SJWs haven’t attacked it for assuming all pokemon to be heterosexual 😛
I maybe wrong, but I think that homosexuality is rarer in animals than in humans. Does happen though
That is correct
It depends on the animal.
I read something about some species of Hyenas being lesbians, but I think it was more complicated than that.
Definately more common in humans though. I think there’s a biological reason for it, but I dare not theorise these days.
I find it pretty interesting TBH. There is a species of some kind of bug that will sometimes form same-sex pairs in order to take over a nest or something like that. It has some advantages in nature. I really am pretty interested in the reason it exists in humans.
wow, I need to read my own comments before I post. I cant spell
Certain species of slugs can change their sexual organs at will I think.
One of my theories is that it’s supposed to be a population limitation mechanism since humans seem to be overly good at surviving.
Dem slugs
But yeah the overpopulation idea is something I’ve been thinking about too.
After all, the brain is but a biological computer.
Bodies are hardware, consciousness is software.
Nature is the programmer, and despite the bugs it usually puts purpose in.
It does happen in animals, more so in some species than others, but the only species that doesn’t fully accept it is homo sapien which is ironic
In humanity’s vast intelligence over other species, we forget some simple things sometimes
Yeah like this morning, I forgot to breathe.
It would be too OP
Implying they care XD
A criticism is not the same thing as an attack.
There is a fine line and it gets crossed regularly with argumentum ad hominem.

What even..
Day 14 of soft reseting..still no sign of Shiny Cresselia. Honestly I didn’t think it would take so long.
Have you got the shiny charm?
Lol not on this game. Idk why I’m doing it here. I wish I hadn’t caught regular cresselia on AS.
Which game?
It could be years before you get one.
It’s something like 1/1024 chance at least, and that’s everytime you reset, not “reset 1024 times and you’re guarateed to get one”. This is why people resort to PRNG seed hacking.
White 2
Should be about 1/8192 then. Enjoy the rest of your year XD
Ugh, I know lol. Maybe I should give up
3/4 of a year for shiny turtwig. Get in line. In all seriousness though I maybe only played an hour a day for that.
That’s too damn long
Worth it. I’d do it again.
I somewhat recently got a shiny zekrom on the first try (it wasn’t even really a try I just wanted to see what was in the hoopa ring, good thing I had a master ball) also, I got a shiny amaura in x in only 6 eggs when looking for one.
That’s awesome. I kinda wish shiny zekrom and reshiram had flipped colors though.
I really am not a fan of shiny legendary pokemon though. you always get the sceptics who will assume you cheated for it. the only other time I found a shiny legendary was back in sapphire, it was a regice. my battery died and I failed to capture it.
Aw man, that must be tough :/
So if a move is not allowed to be used in OU it’ll show up as Illegal on showdown if I put in OU, yes?
Yes and no. To check your whole team for this stuff try to enter a battle. It’ll tell you if there is anything wrong then.
Ok thanks. I’m not good at battles and stuff 😛
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?
Not even going to think about generations beyond 7 until next year.
That said, I don’t think the starter type has any bearing on where the generation is set.
And according to the legend there was a 13th zodiac symbol, the cat, who didn’t make it to the Jade Emperor’s banquet because the mouse lied to him and told him it was the next day, so he slept in all day and didn’t make it.
well now it has, in the form of Litten with the Tiger
The Tiger is a separate sign though.
The Tiger and Cat are two different signs.
Can’t wait for those Gen 9 remakes.
By Gen 12, the Middle East might not even exist.
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.
Either they have some role we don’t know about yet (likely) or they were just put in to fill the box art. XD
Oh God XD
I’m pretty sure their attacks are Z moves. In that last trailer they were shown using them after a ton of other Z moves.
They’ve brought it up. It’s just a small form change based on power that’s built up. I don’t remember Solgaleo’s but Lunala’s formes are based on the moon’s phases
Tho question, will Lunala be ubers?
They’ve shown them. Solgaleo has “Radiant Sun phase” http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Solgaleo_(Pok%C3%A9mon) and Lunaala has “Full Moon phase” http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Lunala_(Pok%C3%A9mon)
Im kinda of upset i didnt noticed that new rabbit pokemon even tho i reviewed the trailer hundreds of time
What?!?
Saw someone on bublagarden that It’s like jsuta Snubbulls ear. It’s a weird angle, but it matches up perfectly
its not. the ears are too long
Seriously where?
It’s hard to see, but it’s in the newest trailer. One of the times it show a zoom in on text. It’s at the bottom left corner of the text bubble. Idk what time it happens tho
Idk it looked pretty similar to me. Not that I’m against a new Pokemon tho lol
i said that too
here i mad a gif of it
https://media.giphy.com/media/N37EXYNhvVvhu/giphy.gif
rf
Yeah that’s it
Odd. Yeah the ears are too long to be a snubbul IMO.
I think the Snubbul thing was that it’s the same colors and has a similar split. Either way we won’t kno until we see a zoomed out version of the scene
Alolan Snubbull lol
Could be hahaha
also snubbul has 4 ears flaps while this one only seems to have 2
I think the thought process was that we’re only seeing the one ear. Either way like I said it’s really too hard to see for sure lol
i feel like snubbull wouldnt run its too fab for that
I really want it to be a cute little pink bunny but maybe it’s a red Oricolo’s wing?
I knew it looked like feathers. I’m pretty sure you’re right.
IT’S A FAIRY TYPE CEILING FAN POKÉMON
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY GAME FREAK
What in the world am I supposed to be looking at besides a pulsating speech bubble?
Bottom left pink thing
I can’t speculate based on that. Stretching it just a little bit for me.
it seems like a new pokemon due to the floppy ears
I feel so stupid. I didn’t even look at the translucent part of the speech bubble.
It’s the rugby monkey clapping one of its hands.
hm in the video its clearly running away. but i would never have thought the rugby pokemon would be pink lol
So it’s not repeating this movement the video? It really looks like a hand to me, with four fingers and a thumb.
Bunnelby ears..?
Looks to be a Miltank, or a new flamingo-like Pokemon.
I’m pretty sure its a Balle Oricorio
Baile Oricorio. Probably.
That was my first thought too.
I’m not completely convinced either way though.
I feel the need to point out that due to the nature of alpha transparency that’s not completely representative of its actual colour. It could be pink, red or magenta depending on the strength of the white and the alpha.
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.
he says “I love DefensiveBastiodon”
I can only wish
Really? I thought it said “Leave me alone, I’m fucking married.”
Yeah to me
THERE’S NO PROOF YET I KNOW PEOPLE WHO WEAR A RING ON THAT FINGER JUST BECAUSE
Keep dreaming 😉
Purity ring, perhaps?
He said “I wonder what my wife Lille has made me for dinner”
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?
At this point I’d be surprised if Rockruff didn’t have two evolutions. However, I feel that people always jump the gun with Corocoro leak predictions. It seldom seems to leak on the 9th. Usually around 11th or 12th. I wouldn’t hold my breath just yet.
Unless the date for CoroCoro changed from the 15th, I’d still expect it to be around the 11th-12th. Maybe that’s just me though
Same, and I hope, I really, really hope Rockruff’s evolution is amazing
hm dont expect it tonight because corocoro leaked earlier last month due to a Japanese holiday
Ah, that’s true. =(
Well, point is, it’s still soon. =D
STILL PUMPED. xD
YEP! BE PUMPED!
Corocoro won’t be for a few days.
so i just read this on reddit. what u guys think
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/51v6ti/the_secret_of_the_startersrockruff_and_typenull/
its a nice theory lol
Those starter types please no. I want my Water fairy mermaid
nvm. didnt read all the way
most people dont so its normal XD
Lol, I just had to read one more line too. I’m an idiot 😛
I would be very upset if both of rowlets forms if this is true make him 4x weak to ice…
I like it.
I would love it..
daytime:
grass/flying
water/fairy
fire/dark (why is he day? how ‘dark’ is the nighttime evo?????)
nighttime:
grass/ground
water/steel
fire/poison
Makes it a little bit more ‘even’, for example:
fire poison (night) against water fairy (day)
grass ground (night) against fire dark (day)
I don’t buy it.
But I like the starter types.
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?
Keep in mind Masuda is no longer directing Pokémon games, so EVERYTHING is a wild card.
It surprisingly seems to be for the better
Interestingly he directed two of the best games, but also two of the worst.
Which ones are the worst? XY and…
All the Gen III games.
No 🙁
Yes.
For that, you’re dead to me.
I apparently always have been. You never noticed me around in articles after I publish. ?
Samson oak…think Samson and the long hair are a bible reference? Probably not but could be
we aready figured out he is supposed to be sam jones, Flash Gordon. its so obvious.
I’m sure it is. Earthen brought it up earlier. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw it too
Never read the bible ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Someone needs to make the trainers from alola in a bubble wrap suit and when they strike the z lose have Ashton Kutchers video come up saying Zolted!!!
any CoroCoro leaks Yet?
my body is ready
its okay
It’s not due until for at least another 22 hours minimum, please don’t ask until then. The leaks will most likely happen early afternoon on the 12th JST, the same applies to any month that isn’t August. If it is, then yes, we can expect leaks in the 9th. If not, it’s pointless to think they’ll be here this early.
Ok why do I always have bad luck every morning
ikr I bet im the only one on right now lol I was told we could see the planets last night and could see them again tonight :O Im so bored
Quiver danced Hurricane Misses a Mismagius and right into a Thunderwave
i try heal belling but surprise surprise Taunt
Oh
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.
Yep kinda like terminator or Alien idk
Nothing is perfect.
What I might do if Litten is a bad boy or girl lol
Spray it with the hose!!!
Yes lol
Ugh, Pkmn GO captures today are Slowpoke x2, Dratini and Magikarp.
That’s good
Better than my 52586 Pidgey and Rattata and venonat
