Nope
PLEASE GIVE US LUGARUGAN AND THE STARTER EVOS IM DYING
Unless there are dual evos I don’t care. XD
I hope we get Pokemon Sun & Moon Trial Version soon, because I want to play so badly
I hope we get great news, it’s my birthday and maybe it’ll knock some sense into Miyamoto!
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday
Thank you!
Happy bday! 😀
Happy birthday! 😀
Happy birthday! (oh shit I’m late xD)
(//∇//)
Lol don’t expect anything big
Hope it won’t be like the 14th were it was actually for Japan then they later revealed the UB 02
I’m expecting Lugarugan, 1 new Pokemon, 1 Alola form. Nothing huge, but enough to hold us off.
I hoep for the demo to launch today! If they do it I’ll be so happy.
But it’s likely to come in October….
Ugh
It’s ok
My body is ready for some news! Pls lugarugan clarification.
If the Lugarugan have day night evos rather than version exclusive, then the starter theory may hold up, but if they are version exclusive, I seriously doubt it. There’s no way they would make version exclusive starters, as cool as it would be.
What exactly is the reasoning? It’s not like it’s some “too good to be true” thing going on.
It just kinda seems extremely unlikely that GF would make version exclusive starters, and it seems plausible to have day night evos, considering the theme of the game.
I’m hoping for more information about Rockruff’s evolutions, starter evolutions and new pokemon and alola forms.
alright guys it’s guessing time: what will we see next in the new Pokemon Sun and Moon trailer?:
A.gen 7 starters evolutions
B. new Pokemon.
C.Lugarugan’s English Name
D.more new Alolan Pokemon
Can I vote for all of them? xD But well probably Lugarugan’s English Name if something.
Sure XD
Weruff!
B, C, and D probably.
will see which one will win. 🙂
I bet the starter evos will be the week before and you forgot that maybe the possible Cutiefly Evo
let’s hope so. 🙂
“SURPRISE The info isn’t even a trailer, just Rockruff’s evo, without typing, info, and abilities”
Got a coupon from the local games store, so I treated myself with a copy of Alpha Sapphire 😀
Gym leaders please!
Have you not paid attention in recent months?
There are no gym leaders in Alola at all.
They don’t have gyms they have trial captains
37 minutes left yay…..
NYARGH EARTHEN HAS THE JITTERS!!!!!
THE JITTERS!!!!!!!!!!
my natural anxieties are mixing with my excitements and anticipations creating a volatile state of manic
HYPE!!! WE NEED BULKY GROUND TYPES!!
Just be happy with mudsdale! I still haven’t gotten a new ice type!
also some asshole stole my headphones, and seriously this is a music technology savvy household and somebody had the nerve to steal my headphones
Karma’s a bitch
I DO NOTHING BUT HELP AND SACRIFICE FOR THOSE PEOPLE
But they had the absolute nerve to take my headphones on the morning of a info reveal
Must be Rockruff evolutions, see them in action and have them explained to us. Leaving people confused could affect pre orders for version exclusives. I don’t see starter evolutions either as they will keep the suspense of how Rockruff’s evolution will tie in with starters. Cutiefly evo is likely for me and perhaps a new Alolan form or new pokemon but i dont think it will be like previous massive reveals, probably slow down a little and then in mid October come back big!
Nickname for Mudkip needed ASAP
kipmud
Quagsire

If it’s a boy, I would name it Kip The Dude.
I’ve named mine Teach once after the pirate captain (Blackbeard).
Starters’ evolutions. Pls. I need to know.
Moving how are you doing today? Excited for the news?
Lol Sam and Nick are I guess 😉
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
My prediction for the 14th was correct and now I predict today it might be a little longer or short again! It was funny when the others think we were trolled lol
I never know what to expect. I didn’t even know we were getting a video two up to 2 days ago x). Yesterday was my bday (can legally go to bars in the US so invite me people) so today’s news are like a bday present haha
Lol me too I thought it was only for the Japanese site then people got angry lol and happy belated bday ( they made us go to bars at 21 but good that I’m healthy lol) so today’s news might be like socks or better as a present in XMas
Thanks haha I started to go out and drink at 16 but don’t drink anymore (it lost its novelty). I’m never been to the US but I assume most people here are Americans.
Yup lol
Is PJ the only one living in Japan or the others are too?
I hope to see evolutions from old Pokemon
Alolan or Mega?
I think they mean Gen 4 type stuff.
Which is honestly possible. Ohmori was the one behind all the new Gen 4 evos.
oh please we’re not getting those anytime soon
The Alolan forms are whoring in the slots to make new pokemon by reskinning old ones
I’d be fine with 70-80 new ‘mons and 20-30 Alolan forms, as X and Y just had 70-80 new ‘mons.
Since the game’s 3D it takes more work, as they have to create a model and animations instead of a few sprites.
I’d love it, but I don’t think they will do it. Megas took their place last generation, Alolan are doing it this generation.
And I don’t say “took their place” in terms of having the same mechanics, I say it in terms of being a novelty related to old Pokemon.
Let’s do this thing.
Also, about Pokémon and NX. It seems an NDA stopped being valid recently, which is what a website claimed would happen yesterday. Ishihara announced that Game Freak is developing for the NX AND confirmed that it’s a hybrid device. Things are going DOWN!
So maybe Generation 8 will be on NX. If so, then that’s an incentive for me to purchase it.
Oh no…oohh nooo…. please be on the 3ds xD
I really hope it’s on the NX and that the NX is a hybrid console. I’m starting to get bored of the ds family
Yep! And technically it’s also coming to home console?!
If it is only on the NX, I might not be able to play it because no way I’m bying something that expensive. (Or maybe…)
