A stream of Pokémon Sun & Moon (coming next month to the Nintendo 3DS) on Japanese video site NicoNico recently revealed a few small details about the pair of games, which can be found below:
- Shaking grass returns to the games, but its function may differ and there’s a new animation of the wild Pokémon jumping out
- The number of Trials has been confirmed as seven
- Ilima’s trial was previewed and featured the player finding Rattata in a cave, after which they were awarded with a Z Crystal
- Rotom Dex will show you your Pokédex completion percentage after catching a Pokémon
These small tidbits just make me want to play the games more! Not too much longer to wait…
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Preliminary Sun/Moon Teams
I love how this ad is on this site: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/352d9a9180eaaed35f87a990384d4f9af4ea4c36cb4d8094b3587013f3f72218.png

(Stealthily dabs)
Always wanted a Sandshrew evo that was more Armadillo than Pangolin so I doodled one. Not happy with the back but ehh. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d891cc697a9ecf503127b936304414e9bded53e64b4d5683b74123da84534246.png
This is adorable
Thanks 🙂
Have a Seaqueen as well https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a54295eeeeb0503f789d5c1704cbb624f7e1bbef6be83c7d9f80a7e2aa506b29.png
also very cute
I just realised, if that is the whole Pokedex then Theres more Gen 1 Pokemon in this game, 87, Counting alolan forms and their original counterparts as the same, than Gen 7, 81 INCLUDING Ultra Beasts. and that’s sad. And the 5 Gens between get between 33 and 15.
So
Gen 1: 87
Gen 2: 30
Gen 3: 33
Gen 4: 29
Gen 5: 28
Gen 6: 14
Gen 7: 81
They could have spread it out a bit more evenly. Though a Pokedex of 302 is fine cause X/Y felt over Crowded. I hope however there are a couple of more new Pokemon, even if they’re outside the regional dex, I doubt theres only 2 Mythicals, but still, Gen 5 had so many more pokemon they could have added, I mean, every Gen get’s it’s Psuedo apart from Gen 5, and 2.
We know Pinsir is #175 though. Assuming each island PokeDex has equal amounts of Pokemon like the XY PokeDexes, that’s at least 700 right there. Of course they’re probably not even, so the number is likely a bit smaller, but 300 is too small, I think.
Pinsir is probably number 175 in the overall Alola Pokedex.
The dataminers confirmed the Alola dex to have 302 pokemon
Damn no T-tar or Hydreigon in the main game? I hope they became available after the story is beaten.
So if we assume if there are 7 trials that means 7 trail Captains; we may possibly know all of them. We have the 5 officially revealed, Iilma Mallow, Lana, Sophocles, Kiawe.
We then have the girl in the demo trailer who has the captain badge thing in her hair, the ghostly looking girl. Then we possibly have Kahili, the character the NPC mentions in the demo, who is said to be great at golf and off concurring the world. I mean I maybe wrong about the last one but gamexplain seems to think she could be one to so, what are everyone’s thoughts?
Attention Everyone Major Reminder!!!
We are now a solid week until the closure of the Pokemon Global Link

Thanks EarthenWarrior ?
Are they hinting at something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evvO5Gcl-mo
Did they just make an AMV?
I think so. They did the same thing with Ash’s Froakie to hint the Kalos League final and Fire Shuriken
Maybe he’ll mega evolve charizard. Probably not
Maybe he’s bringing it to Alola for Poke Ride. Idk lol
In these days Charizard was my best pkmn (I love classic drawing)…….since Gen 3 Charizard art turn bad.
Me too, I think the classic drawing style was so much better than all the new technology

I will forgive u just cuz ur avatar.
Oh, boy, a walking trope.
Appearance customization has been a fun side feature of these games as of late, my only question is when will they allow us to customize our Pokémon a la’ Cosplay Pikachu?
Individualized Pokémon just seems to be a fun thing for us to do regardless if the costume gives them a new ability /move or not.
Customized Pokeballs/Seals were a good thing too. I liked having Ele-Seals for electric Pokemon, red fire seals for fire ones, blu fires for ice, foamies for water, petals for grass etc.
Yeah, that was fun
Idk if that’ll ever be a feature. It would take a lot of programing. We were able to do it in the pokemon musical but that’s cause they were 2D immobile sprites and not ever used in battle. It would probably be really cool though if they brought it back in some manner though
The fact that The Unovan Fossils are in the regional dex tells me that the “Hawaii doesn’t have fossils and that’s why Alola doesn’t” idea, is crap.
It actually tells me that they just decided to reuse a pair of Older fossils, the ones they chose made sense. I wonder where in the region we get them though, that’s the question. (Also Aerodactyl but he was in Kalos too)
The Sinnoh fossils are also in there. I’ve been saying the geological argument is bullcrap for ages, and that’s not even the only reason it’s wrong. In fact any other excuse for no fossils I’ve seen doesn’t hold up. This is just GF making random sh*tty decisions as usual and cutting themselves off from a whole pool of design inspirations, and they don’t deserve anyone making excuses for them over it. Shame on them.
But Hawaii doesn’t really have any indigenous species to be fossilized
Yes so?
The Fossils in past gens didn’t fit the real world country either, so it’s no excuse anyway.
The only reason I see is cause theres old fossils so there no need for new ones.
Wrong. Hawaii has a bunch of subfossil species. It also has some marine fossils, even if they’re pretty unexciting. But even that doesn’t matter because GF has never given a toss when it come to biogeography, and that includes fossils. We could have had pretty much any sort of fosssil mon here and they could have found a logical explanation. I’m sorry, but they have no excuse.
whatever the pokemon designs are going down hill
Why are you always so negative?
if you’ve been depressed for….7-8 years you’d be too
Don’t assume I’m not, but I’m at least trying to be positive and not just being on a downer all the time
yeah no, this was my last chance for a genuine Ground/Fighting type and i didn’t get it
now I gotta wait until Gen 8
That is a very trivial reason to be on a downer about
that’s just one of the many disappointments about gen 7
but i’m not gonna get into my track record of my life
Well you gotta take the good with the bad sometimes. It’s not the end of the world that something didn’t happen in a game that you wanted to, and you don’t need to bring the negativity to other people, even if you’re depressed thats not really an excuse to be an arse
there is no more good just constant disappointments and just having to settle
I suggest looking for the bright side of things, it helps. albiet difficult sometimes, instead of just looking at things and been dissapointed and negative all the time. If you’re dissapointed and negative all the time you’re not really gonna stop feeling depressed.
Just be a bit more positive, start at the little things, like the fact that they even make these games at all.
yeah i haven’t seen the bright side of things in a LONG time and they ain’t just gonna start flooding in
No but if you don’t try it’ll never happen will it? That’s what I tell myself every single day, after every failure, after every dissapointment, after every little thing I mess up. It helps, even if I do keep failing and messing up. It’s the little things that help.
Atleast you got another ground/ghost and a pure ground type, and I am guess alolan Dugtrio is going to be ground/fire. Atleast there are a few ground types. I wish there were a few more steel types. I guess I am going to force myself to use Togedemaru.
Because its fun
I disagree, recent gens have been full quality, but I’d certainly say Game Freak seem to be lowering their standards when it comes to game development ethos
disappointed UBs are catchable
It does seem odd but put it this way, at least it adds to the number of new Pokemon,
I wonder what will make them stand out though from other Pokemon though outside of being a story element.
Triple Typing perhaps?
I predicate triple type many time that will fit with other dimension theory.
Y this could be disappointed it’s beautiful.
Because I wanted them to be high difficulty bosses instead of just non-Pokemon designed catchable monsters..
Ditto, and I want them to be a Threat not just implied
just watch them be even more annoying and overpowered as Legends
We still don’t know that though do we? The supposed ball that we catch them in doesn’t have a name programmed in apparently, it comes up as n/a when we throw it which leads me to believe we won’t be the ones using it if anything. I used to be adamant that we could catch them based on their shinies but now I’m thinking that we won’t be able to for various reasons
I had a theory that Ultra Beasts are just undiscovered Legendaries.
I’m not. They should be catchable. 😀 They look and act like Pokemon, so to me there just new Pokemon from an alternate dimension.
here’s another name for the final evolution of Rowlet, apart from Sherhood and Archood.
Bowpoke, Bopoke (bow + Mopoke)
