EuroGamer writer Tom Phillips claims to have been told classified Nintendo information about the follow-up to the recently launched Pokémon Sun & Moon… and it won’t be a run-of-the-mill third version. The new game, codenamed Pokémon Stars, will be launching on the brand new Nintendo Switch console in summer 2017 or later.
Here are a few of the details:
- Brand-new Pokémon not found in Sun & Moon
- ‘Trading’ via Pokémon Box
- Switch-exclusive features
- Improved graphics
What do you think? This could be the first console version of the main series, but some fans may feel disappointed if there are exclusive Pokémon that require use of a totally different console.
The thing that strikes me most about Sun/Moon is how little it uses two screens. Aside from battles, it could easily be a single screen game

It all comes together, doesn’t it?
FEATURED DISCUSSION: All Sun and Moon QR codes
I still have like an hour before the game…it’s soo long…
I’m going to start saying Alola, I’ll make more friends if I do *tries at work with jazz hands, get funny expression*
Just wondering, but this is my first time doing this because I usually avoid trade evolutions. But I think I want to run an Alola Golem on my first playthrough. I’m not sure how to do long distance trade, so I am asking, when the time comes, could someone on here help me out?
I don’t have the games yet so idk if it’s different but I think you just have to register that persons friend code in friends on the 3DS then use the festival place?
I don’t either (pre-ordered through Amazon) just asking ahead of time. Are we able to access the festival place early on in the game?
Probably. I see no reason why it wouldn’t be
Thanks.
I dunno if it’s the same as XY and ORAS but in those games it was so easy to trade with anyone, anywhere in the world as long as you had their friend code registered.
Thanks as well.
WTF I just bought a NEW 3DS XL to play Sun and Moon…. does anyone know if it’ll be a Switch Exclusin?
Well it’s not coming out until next year and it’s a third version. You probably won’t be missing much. Go enjoy Xenoblade and Binding of Issac since you have the new one!
I would feel a lot better if they either delay the console or scrap it for a new one. Satoru my dear friend, why did you have to die when your succesor still needed help? If I were working at Nintendo, I would give a double thought on how people would react if they saw the console all of a sudden.
What? Everyone loved the switch reveal though? It’s fine. What is wrong with it?
My little brother almost did that. But he has a 2DS. I told him that he should just save for the Switch since Pokémon will inevitably be on it.
Oh fuuuuudge. My engineering friend forgot about a phone interview this morning because he was playing Pokémon. xD :/
Very big spoiler that has not been commented on yet:

They are bigger in Texas.
That car has too much rear downforce
It would tear off pretty quickly. if you look at the parts holding it on, they aren’t very strong.
The time of this rumor is wrong in so many levels. We should be talking about SuMo, not this. 🙁
*why not both meme*
I hope that French guy who leaked X/Y in 2013, dies.
Wow ok
His fault Europe has to wait longer for new games
Still though man, wishing death on someone over a video game being delayed by 5 days is a bit much.
Be glad you aren’t waiting a year after Japan has it
StarStorm, you owe me an apology for saying that Ultra Beasts are not Pokemon…I told you that they ARE indeed Pokemon.
They aren’t pokemon
Do we even know for a fact if that’s why Europe is delayed?
I think you are overeacting a little bit
Burn the witch!!! I’ve got my volcarona ready
I doubt it’s because of him. I have a strong feeling it’s because of PEGI.
Mainly due to the fact that South Africa has to wait too, and that Canada Leaked too.
I cannot wait for Stars. I’m planning on purchasing Sun sometime in December, likely for Christmas. I’m just glad that this is technically the first Pokemon Game on a home console. Nintendo might kill it with the Switch launches, with Super Mario Switch at launch, Breath of the Wild likely in the Summer, and Pokemon Stars is late 2017. I would love to see S/M in HD with an improved frame rate, animations, textures, and an overall HD quality. I guess the rumour of the Switch getting a Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon games within the first year was correct!
And let my speculation begin, 2 region game including Kalos, it’s going to happen!
Oh God XD
4 regions. Top that.
+Sevii Islands
And Orre region.

I posted this last night around midnight but in case you hadn’t seen this,
It’s a comic dub/animation
made by myself and my friend to celebrate Sun and Moon’s release!
It’s about everyone’s favourite starters woooooo! XD
p.s.: we do in fact like all 3 starters
Honestly if you are told classified information about a company who is pretty liberal with their use of C&D and lawyers, I would not go writing articles about it.
Particularly not on the day said company’s brand new flagship titles are released, therefore taking the attention away from them (and maybe even hurting sales if anyone out there now thinks ‘hey, maybe give Sun and Moon a miss and just wait for the new Switch version!’). Eurogame writer Tom Philips is an idiot :/
You can’t get sued, successfully, for releasing information that you have not signed any NDA for.
I’m not super far in the game yet, but I really love it. The graphics are absolutely breathtaking and I can’t keep my excitement down, I love the characters as well. With Pokemon Sun and Moon coming to the switch it gives me a new found hope that we’ll see Kalos again 🙂
Despite being one note so far, I already like Lillie and Hau WAY more than Shauna, Trevor, and dancing guy.
You mean Tierno?
Probably because they have character?
Shauna: Forced love interest
Trevor: umm I know nothing about this guy honestly
Tierno: He dances
Tierno just makes me think of Footloose. And I haven’t even seen that movie. We should have gotten a scene of him in a warehouse dramatically dancing furiously.
Honestly though, you could’ve removed all of the rivals completely and X and Y would probably be better for it
The emptiness of friends would’ve at least reflected the empty region then. haha
Hau jumps up and down all the time.
Hau’s a fun guy, but I’m disappointed he only has 2 Pokemon. I know you’re in it for the good times, Hau, but the more the merrier I think…
I got the last 2ds on target #blessed anyways i played for 20min and i only got till the starter picking scene
This is so funny to me for some reason.

I wonder, if my Game arrives before the 23rd, will I be banned if I play it before the 23rd?
I’d set that 3DS on airplane mode.
I don’t think I’d be banned honestly, as it’s out everywhere else and it is a Legal copy.
Still better safe than sorry.
I don’t think a 3ds has that. *realizes you’re joking and facepalms*
Well you can make it not connect to the internet. Simpler way of stating do that.
I wonder if they buy a new system and do a system transfer, does the ban carry over?
heard differently. There will be no new Pokemon same game with updated graphics
I hope. To hell with them if they made a third version with different content (new pokémon or forms) for a different console just to makes us spend more money.

This is where I heard it from. No mention of new Pokemon
I tried tellin’ them on Youtube. I had high hopes for Cosmog until I saw the datamine. Thanks for breaking my heart Game Freak ><!
I tend to put less faith in gf sometimes sure they are worse companies but they tend to do one step forward 5 steps backwards (even for minor stuff) that I can no longer tolerate at times
Calling bullshit
Why? Eurogamer is pretty reliable
The Pokedex itself…huge disappointment. I couldn’t agree more. Those backstabbers at Game Freak even ruined Cosmog for me! Why would they make a Legendary that would evolve? To make things worse, why would they make it useless in battle so that you could waste your time and BP on Rare Candies until it becomes Solgaleo/Lunala.
I’m telling you, someone called this. I think it might’ve been someone on this chat or I watched It online, something.
This day can’t end fast enough seriously. About 5 more hours to wait and it’s dreadful
Stuck in 3rd period, just one more class then I can get my copy
2 more classes for me. After the first two though it starts going by faster. Blah I’m so ready to get home and just buy both games and goooo.
I only have enough in my wallet for one copy, though I could ask my mother to spot me the extra for the other
Either way, I continue to own a game from each main series generation
Well I have about 8 more hours until I get home and can start playing… I was hoping they would have miraculously arrived before I left for work this morning so that when I was bored I could play it… Just hope today flies by!
I’m stuck waiting in my mom’s room to see when the delivery guy gets here!!
I’m getting mine before 20h tomorrow but the delivery guy always comes at 8 am or something. Come through!!!
Been playing it since 9 AM but a lot of disruptions came in and I just finished my first Trial! lol XD
OMG Iris in HD!! New Generations episode <3 <3
BEARTIC!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man, I guess I’m going to have wait on buying a PS4 pro……. Oh well.
Nicknames for Litten?
If its female name it Jasper or Amethyst. I’m naming mine Jasper.
Pokemon Star ehh… gen 4 remakes anyone??
Oh nvm it said new pokemon not found in alola
so, instead of the rumoured 6.5 generation we will recieve a 7.5 generation??
