The article below contains spoilers for Pokémon Sun & Moon.
We have chosen not to publish any images obtained from the demo version and as such the information below is a text rundown of what has been uncovered. The comment section of this article will also contain spoilers.
The demo version of Pokémon Sun & Moon is currently live in some regions and some avid trainers have gotten to work uncovering everything the demo has to offer.
It seems that lessons haven’t been learned from Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire and the demo files contain information on some currently unannounced Pokémon and over information. It’s unknown if the demo contains files for all new Pokémon in the games, though at this point it seems almost definite.
Leaked Information
Alolan Forms
The demo contains files confirming the existence of many more Alolan Pokémon:
- Geodude, Graveler and Golem
- Diglett and Dugtrio
- Persian
New Pokémon & Ultra Beasts
- There are at least five new Ultra Beasts, bringing the total to 8
- The leaked Starter Pokémon evolutions are real
- Pikipek appears to evolve into a toucan Pokémon in it’s final stage
- Crabrawler, Wimpod, Morelull and Salandit all receive evolutions
- Solgaleo and Lunala both have a pre evolution/lesser form
- A new Pokémon that appears to be based on an anchor
- A new Pokémon and it’s evolution that were previously leaked by an Amazon listing for the upcoming Sun & Moon TCG expansion
- Another two Pokémon evolution line that appears to be part Bug type
- Marshadow is a real Pokémon, but doesn’t look anything like Solgaleo or Lunala
- Magearna has a form that looks more like a traditional Poké Ball
- Ash Pikachu is in the game and appears to be able to wear Ash’s hat from each region of the anime
- [NEW] The Pokémon models found within the demo are only from Pokémon found in the Alola Pokédex
[NEW] Pokémon Moves
- It seems there are a total of 719 moves in the games, by comparison Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire had 621
- 3 of these new moves appear to be taught via TM
- 29 of the new moves are Z-Moves (18 Z-Moves for each type and 11 special Z-Moves)
- HMs no longer exist and are not available as a regular TM
[NEW] Items
- There are 920 items present in the demo, 58 of which are related to Z-Moves
- A new medicinal item similar to Lava Cookie that cures all
- A new battle item with held effect (like Dire Hit)
- At least 6 new holdable items with effects
- A Key Item that is likely used to change Zygarde forms
- 3 items that are used to change forms
- Bikes and Travel Trunks (an unused key item) are not in the demo/games
- The Strange Souvenir item data appears unchanged in the games
- 1 new type of Poké Ball
- It appears the new ball cannot be bought or sold
We will update with further details if and when they come.
REMEMBER: This information is currently unannounced and has been leaked from the demo. Please respect the wishes of others and mark your spoilers correctly.
does anyone else hear this like weird almost record scratch like pokemon cry in the background of the demo, it happens every so often while I’m in the city part and its so weird
It matches up with the cries of Pokémon you can find in those areas, so it’s most likely wild Pokémon cries.
Didn’t figure it out til I heard Pikipek’s, I thought my demo was bugged at first.
ohh ok thank you
Oh god I have the PSATs tomorrow and I’ve spent my whole afternoon doing this and playing the demo.
Eh, whatever.
YOOOO SAME HERE
Hopefully it’s not too easy, because I’m not studying at all. But then again my school told me it wasn’t nessicary to study.
Oct 27th Trailer name
“YOU THOUGHT U DATA MINED WE PLANNED THIS HAHAHAH!”
Watch it reveal all of this. xD
63 exp until levelling up a Pikipek.
Why?
Because I want to see how they subvert it evolving.
Lame, nothing happened ; n ;
I’m pretty sure me and some them guy tried out out in the morning :p
Wasn’t here this morning.
I think the reason why it was reported as Marshadow being 835 is because it counted each one of Type: Null’s forms as individual Pokemon, as well as every other Pokemon’s shiny.
Or 854, whatever that number may have been.
Why didn’t they do that wish Arceus then?
I think this is an extremely Captain Obvious statement, but Silvally happens to have the same shiny colors as a certain deity.
Speaking of captains, that guy in the demo video is definitely a kahuna.
@Dicie Gamexplain said they encountered a few (more than 1) new pokemon in the first two hours that we don’t know about yet, and none of the leaked pokemon seem to be early game.
He’s not referring to Pokemon that haven’t been officially announced?
He is, but none of the leaked pokemon look early game. Plus he said more than 1.
Plot twist
The new Pokémon was Alolan Diglet
A few is more than one. 😛
Alolan Dugtrio
I expected that lol.
You dug yourself into a hole there :p
I’d scream
I’d be interested to see if they respond if we ask if any of the datamined Pokemon were found. If not, we can definitely get hype.
I could try to get there attention?
That would be great.
Time to learn twitter lol. Should I ask: Did you see any pokemon in the game that aren’t on this image? *show image*
I’d ask if they’re avoiding them first, it’d suck to ruin their experience of the game
Yeah.
*their
TBF though they may be avoiding the datamine themselves or still can’t talk about them.
It’s worth a shot. Also they of all people wouldn’t be the ones to avoid spoilers, that’s sort of their job.
You’re right. The majority of what we got is first evos and such.
RAY OF HOPE
I must convince everyone here! xD
My thoughts exactly! He didnt even get to the first trial apparently
What if the anime is set several years before the events of the games and Ash is the Alolan champion? 😀
“You did an amazing job, son/daughter! I’m proud of you!” – ???
*Player looks behind him to see an older man with a Pikachu situated atop his shoulder, smiling*
“Now it’s time for your biggest trial: defeating me!” – Ash Ketchum
“Pika! Pika!” – Pikachu
All along, your goal had been to defeat the very father who left on a journey wanting to become a Pokemon Master and to be better than him: to reach the goal he never could.
Ehh I’d prefer to keep him out the games as much as possible, the demo even avoids name dropping him
Don’t kill me: I’m just throwing out baseless ideas.
Nah, it’s a good enough idea, but it’s one people wouldn’t be fond of :p
Replace Ash with Red or Gold and I’m all in
Fine: Red since he’s my bae. <3
Not that overhyped trainer again. He’s so lacklustre. I mean every protagonist after him has achieved the same thing he did. What makes him special, I will never know.
Nostalgia and Poikachew
since Ash cant win a pokemon league and there wont be none in new series, he will fail school and be stuck in alola region forever
I’m betting the champion is Kahili
I agree with this. and maybe he/she are off on that golf course in akala island?
Wait, what’s this character’s association with golf? I just thought they owned the clothing store
There’s a Kahili Golf Course in Hawaii.
I love that shiny Sandygast and Palossand are black…Black sand beaches!
Was thinking the same thing! Hopefully they have one in the Alola region (can’t remember off the top of my head).
I love shiny Ribombee. For some reason Ribombee reminds me of fall, and it’s shiny colors do so even more.
Hopefully this region’s champion is proactive like Alder and Cynthia instead of letting a 10 – 16 year old save an entire region as they sit on their throne watching this all occur.
The only champions to do nothing in the games were Lance and Diantha.
Diantha who?
Oops, never mind! 😀 xD Forgot she existed!
She was badass in the anime Team Flare Arc so she exists now
Lance did in GS though
To be fair, he did help out with Mahogany hideout.
Scratch that, it’s just Diantha.
Can you imagine if the Champion is Ash. Like all grown up or whatever. Being that he does give you the freno have and a pikachu.
@Demonslayerx8 on Twitter claims there are 9 Pokemon yet to be seen.
:O that’s the account that leaked all the sprites.
*tries not to freak out.
WELL SPILL IT ALREADY DEMONGUY!
How is his twitter even still alive
That’s what makes me suspicious.. I’m still wondering if GF WANTS us to see all of this….
I think they do.
any kind of publicity is good publicity
Maybe there are 140+ and we’ve only stumbled upon half!
Nah…
Would be the best strategy IMO, let the hackers think they’ve won then reveal there’s a ton of pokemon that got left out.
It’s an amazing marketing strategy and look how much hype was built around these leaks….. Also let’s point out that the leakers are VERY confident everything was out except for those few missed sprites…
Yeah, remember when the leaks came for XY nintendo found them so fast it wasn’t funny
Yup a lot of twitter accounts shut down, websites taken down, etc…
well if I’m not mistaken thats the reason we lost our article the other day? and yet if they looked at any of the comments in that article they would know exactly where to look for the leaks.. heck its not even that hard to find on twitter
Yup they removed the article in case the site gets shut down….
I wonder why those in particular were scrubbed.
Still keeping my hopes down but
-Pyukumuku evo
-Komala evo
-Mimikyu evo or final Pyukumuku/Komala evo
-Alolan Ponyta
-Alolan Rapidash
-Ice Line Part 1
-Ice Line Part 2
-Alolan Something
-Alolan Something
Just give me Komala and Minior evos please. . . .
Please no more Alolan. After Dugtrio and Muk…
Alolan Muk is awesome
Meant Grimer. I love Muk and actually want it on my team, but I only do NEW Pokemon on my first run-through.
Please….just please…Ground/Fighting type
Seriously, how does Komala not have an evolution?
hopefully we still have a chance….
My hopes … Yes, I know they are awfully high & specific, but one can dream right? I’d gladly just take a dolphin Pokemon and 3 new Alolan stages
– Dolphin Pokemon ???
(Water/Psychic)
– Snowman Pokemon ??? (Ice/Ghost)
– New Dark-type line (2 or 3 stager)
– Komala evo (Normal)
– Alolan Butterfree (Bug/Psychic)
– Alolan Lapras (Water/Fairy)
– Alolan Growlith/Arcanine (Water)
– Alolan Ponyta/Rapidash (Electric)
– Alolan Koffing/Weezing (Fire)
– Alolan Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff (Water/Flying)
– Alolan Mr. Mime (Dark/Fairy)
– Alolan Jynx (Psychic/Grass)
He/she said that because of the blank spaces cause no one has seen them, even he/she. But that blank space between Raticate and Spearow really points to Totem models only. While if they are really new pokemon this would mean other 8 standalone pokemon and maybe a mimikyu evolutions, which is really unlikely
In 12 days you can help an old man celebrate his pikachu’s Birthday in the demo, how adorable is that
The old man: “It’s our 1 year anniversary and I’m still 79!”
4, 11, 17, 23, day events I have found, though the date has rolled over for me.
0 – Some guy gives you 10 pretty wings
4 – A girl waiting for a strong guy who helped her.
11 – ???
17 – Police officer sting.
23 – Escort a girl on a ship.
11 is Pikachu Birthday.
Any idea where he is?
The guy is outside the pokecentre
The girls is in the bottom left near the town hall
The police officer is in the marina
And the boat girl is in the boathouse in the marina.
The building where you start, Pikachu is stood next to him.
City hall all the way to the left.
Somehow Ithsme is already taken on twitter. Huh, I really thought it was an obscure name.
So far I’ve never had a problem owning the name Pharap. If there’s a Pharap out there, there’s a 95% chance it’s me. Except Twitter and Facebook ofc
I only need a twitter for asking GX some questions. Do you know what the best account to go to would be?
Nope, I don’t use Twitter XD
How to know if a Pokemon game or anime will be good:
– If the games are lackluster, the anime will be amazing –> Ex. X/Y
– If the games are amazing, the anime will be atrocious –> Ex. B/W
– Outliers –> D/P/P and R/S/E
I guess we’re in for a good game then!
Too soon, my friend, too soon.
Well just look at it.
Don’t judge a book by its cover. 😀
Or in this case an anime.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CvEoMHWUIAA2ghg.jpg
And the black images are scrubbed?
I don’t want to raise my hopes :/
Where’s Komala? I swear I’m blind or something
Nvm
It’s 789 and 790.
We should have more than 6 totem pkmn ….something unmatched here.
Team Skull is already the best “evil” team ever
Ok, for the people who want me to ask the question to GameXplain, what would be the best account to go to?
Use the name SharkeishaAteMyBaby
No I mean whose account on Gamexplain should I ask?
oh ummm, I’m not sure O_O
I feel like now is a good time to post this again. This building is covered in representations of Water types, yet I cannot identify who this bird is even after we supposedly learned of all the Pokemon. Some said it looks like Lanturn or Oricorio, but I included pictures to show that it can’t be then by comparison.
This makes me believe wholeheartedly that don’t know everything yet. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1aed5572de404704f7cf0b2b59c87ff36220a338f1af06e68a81539dfb2baf0.jpg
At first i thought it was Piplup, Kyogre, Whiscash, or some new Pokemon.
I hadn’t considered those, but they don’t exactly line up either. This creature is perplexing me.
Looks kinda like Prinplup to me, but there’s definitely stuff we don’t know yet.
Prinplup doesn’t quite match up either.
Maybe that is the pre evo to our dolphin1
Maybe, but I can’t see it as anything other than a bird. Perhaps we’re looking at it differently.
Is it the biggest one in the picture? Becuase it’s very obviously Bruxish.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3a4b6181f71db407f3e5ccc98c6788e23ad4d10b7016ed7380dbda3d4b4d845d.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a2026b7ffec81fec9d00557e93301c36e7e8c1436bbaebdf5225bcaec4c1ed89.jpg
Sorry but that picture looks NOTHING like Bruxish.
Agreed. They both have the protrusion on their heads, but other than that I see no resemblance.
Lips? Check.
Separate body colour on the bottom and around the eyes? Check.
Protrusion? Check
Its so obviously a simplified Bruxish that it physically hurts
Can you outline/make it more obvious?
Sorry, I’m on phone but I’ll try something
Please do I’m seriously trying hard even to overlap or put them side by side but I can’t see Bruxish o.e
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/aa8bb549c660fff76bd7791ae49876aaeb3f8d3e9c1e69cde6e4f60877f80044.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/403eae68f2b55faf6d0cce88efa398f61c639cd4f40bf8989f3580e7aa62038f.png
The circles on the mural are really thin, someone tell me if I need to make them thicker
if you squint and look at it you can actually tell perfectly what it is
I can totally see Bruxish now, thank you. Damn it dreams of another Water-type just crushed xD
Jokes aside, Wimpod’s evo if keeping Water-typing is my new fav
Wimpgod is a total BA
I sincerely hope its name is Isotough because it would be the greatest pun they have ever made
There’s a neck, a beak, and a whole different head lining. It’s not Bruxish nor similar.
There’s no neck, that’s an effect caused by the drawing being only in blue and the background colour when Bruxish has three colours
Those are lips
It even has the exact same spot as Bruxish near its lips
Try now:
http://i.imgur.com/l3z6Rv1.png
I wouldn’t say obvious, but it’s definately bruxish.
Oh I see it sorta. Not convinced though
http://i.imgur.com/l3z6Rv1.png
I apologize, I see it now. I had to start at it for like 10 minutes and let my vision blur, but I completely see it now.
More evidence yay!
It looks like a full bird, a bit “fat”, if you consider the bottom two “nipple” blue dots underneath the “neck” are still from its body. We also had Tucan on a T-Shirt and turns out it was a real Pokémon (Pikipek’s evo), so I think this is a new Pokémon.
U should check the left side of the building too.
Looks like Luvdisc a bit.
It’s a jigglypuff as viewed from above
https://twitter.com/KazoWAR/status/788261426867691520
The trainer looks cuter than that atrocity.
They really should fire the person who came up with the idea to give an existing Pokémon only luscious blond hair and call it a new form.
Well they all seemed to agree with it by having it exist. So fire all of Game Freak. lol
Ppl talk about how adorable was that …..and call shit at the same time ….human logic.
I don’t like it, I just wonder how you get it to appear in the wild like that. Unless it’s a hack.
It’s hacked because it’s full model is in the demo, you can tell by how badly the game glitches with it
Oh it’s hacked all right, just thought it gave a better look at how terrible it is.
Can’t load the vid :S
It’s encountering Alolan Dugtrio in the wild, battling it with Greninja.
This is fake right?
nope, they hacked to show dugtrio in battle
Oh, I thought they only found pokedex stills? I they can do that then can’t they hack in the new pokemon to find types and such?
Alolan Dugtrio has data in the demo as you can see it via Poké finder by random chance
They assigned the model to Pikachu’s data, so it has Pika-stats but Dugtrio name + model.
Yeah, hacked in.
Yes and no.
It’s hacked in but the models and textures are real.
Is it normal that i like it just because of how stupid it look?
Probably not, but if that’s true, I’m not normal either. I’d rather it be funny than bland (hence I also like Alolan Exeggcutor.
No, please leave right now (jk)
I see that Salon Roquet had their hands on Dugtrio.
Dear God…
WHERE’S OUR DOLPHIN?
One of the Tapu Legends.
That’s just not cool.
Yeah, we pointed this out in staff chat, but we’ll need to see after it “breaks out of its shell,.”
I actually love that one tbf.
That’s the painful truth.
That doesn’t count: I WANT MY DOLPHIN and not some chimera/hodgepodge of every dolphin-like creature.
ABOUT THE DEXSo that DSX8 person on twitter flat out said that the leaks they gave us were from the demo only and that the full game might have more!!! So Even they are not convinced!!
Which makes me inclined to think that perhaps the models were left in the game for a reason. Maybe not all of them, but I’m not sure.
Nah, they could scrub the models just as easily as they could scrub images. Leave a box or something in place of the Pokemon.
WOO! MORE EVIDENCE! Let’s keep em coming!
I swear if I see an Alolan Dugtrio in the wild (refresh):
http://66.media.tumblr.com/2186119dfdaa9dd902f83de257848791/tumblr_mxafseOv4F1qiohboo5_400.gif
i made the same joke dsnjsdjjds. snatch her weave mama
I’m so salty about Dugrtio! THAT TIME AND ENERGY (IF ANY) COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO CREATE A NEW POKEMON! X_X
“time” as if they took more than 3min to create that
Reporter: How did you get inspired to create the Alolan form of Dugtrio.
GameFreak: Well we were watching some Loreal commercials, and the luscious hair attracted us so much, we thought it would make for a great concept!
Or, they developed that hair to shield them in the region’s harsh sunlight. They are known to have super sensitive skin which is why they spend most of their life underground.
Almost better than my “to disguise themselves as Yungoos” idea.
they were watching rupaul allstars
I feel like that is their process in conceiving a number of other Pokémon.
I feel the same about Raichu, Raticate and Muk, but hey-ho.
While I’m at it, might as well snatch the other two *refresh*
http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad65/lorcy/redhead_wig.gif
Back off my Sia Dugtrio.
Crabrawler’s Ice/Fighting evolution is one of my favorite Pokemon now. It probably pounds its claws into the snow to leave giant Yeti prints, while in reality humans think it’s a Yeti…but the Yeti doesn’t really exist! I love that concept so much.
It’s grew on me …..so I think Crabrawler could back to my team.
i still have my yekid and Coldossus ice/fighting type
And I have my Yetiny and Yetitan Ice/Fighting as well 🙂
“When you turn 11 in alola, you can participate in our local rite of passage – the island challenge”
Inb4 Ash finally becomes 11.
He was 11 in X/Y anime, they say it in the pilot…
¯_(ツ)_/¯ Ash is too old then.
He became 11 in Johto, then was magically 10 for B/W and X/Y
Okay so barring any unknown version exclusive restrictions i think i have worked out my teams fo my first run of each version (i like to try and stick to new Pokemon or forms (in this case Alola Forms) but and please excuse the crappy placeholder names….):
Sun:
1 – Arrowhood (Final Grass Starter)
2 – Lycanroc
3 – Kommo-o
4 – Alolan Raichu *
5 – Alolan Marowak
6 – Alolan Ninetales
Moon:
1 – Sirene (Final Water Starter)
2 – Salandette (Salandit Evolution)
3 – Wimplash (Wimpod Evolution)
4 – Lurantis
5 – Vikavolt **
6 – Alolan Sandslash
* Will be replaced by Tapu Koko if it is not considered a legendary in the game and is not overpowered.
** Will be replaced by Alolan Raichu if the above happens and failing that may still be replaced by Alolan Golem if it is indeed Rock/Electric type.
