With just over one more day until the big Nintendo Switch press conference (and don’t worry, we’ll be covering it!), fans are understandably excited. Pokémaniacs are particularly keen to hear about the rumored title that brings Pokémon Sun & Moon’s gameplay to the new console. While nothing has been outright confirmed, here is our mega list of rumors about Pokémon Stars (or Eclipse):
- New Pokémon, Alolan Forms or Mega Evolutions: The game could add up to 20 (a number dropped by Laura Dale, gaming journalist) brand-new Pokémon or forms/evolutions to Alola. Whether or not these will be compatible with Pokémon Sun & Moon is currently unknown.
- Improved Graphics: GameFreak didn’t skimp in Sun & Moon, but their successor will apparently utilize the Switch’s improved capabilities to breath HD life into Alola and its inhabitants.
- Compatible with Sun & Moon: While the new Pokémon might not make it to your copies of Pokémon Sun or Moon, there will be ways to transfer existing Pokémon to Stars through an improved Pokémon Box app. Many are hoping that Pokémon caught in the console version will also be able to be transferred to the 3DS games as well.
- Switch-Exclusive Features: Pokémon Stars will not only bring improved graphics to what we experienced in Sun & Moon, but will also introduce new features not found in the portable games. While not mentioned in the rumors, the animations found for walking Pokémon do hint that a companion system will be coming back to the overworld similar of that in Pokémon Yellow or HeartGold & SoulSilver.
This is mostly a compilation from various Twitter sources from gaming journalists, the initial leak, and also a Reddit AMA. The logo is an original creation of our wonderful moving and not official. If you missed it, don’t forget to check out for new Alolan Forms we’re hoping for!
Tell us in the comments about whether or not you expect Pokémon Stars to be revealed at the Nintendo Switch presentation!
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Worst Pokémon in Sun & Moon: Showdown!
Is there a Gif of Iwata’s nod at the end? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NcDZmmu9FM

I like this one a bit more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI3rO3PbYOo
I’m ending it here. i didnt mean to start some kind of argument or dispute with what i said. i was just pointing out something I’ve noticed. This is exactly why i left for a while and came back around when sun and moon was being hyped and with the switch. the site isn’t what it used to be i hope everyone enjoys the presentation
No, it’s ok. Sometimes there’s too much off topic discussion. But the complaining about it doesn’t always help, it’s best to wait for a mod to come online and to notify them.
Don’t leave, please! I just think you should recognize the reality of it and accept it.
Also no, this place was plenty crude back in the XY days and such.
Don’t leave i’m sorry it’s is my fault for Furries talk (kind of) but Kirby i don’t apologize for Kirby is nintendo too but pls don’t leave
I hear you loud and clear, don’t worry about that. I understand every complaint you have, and I will be more aware in the future. We just have to strike a balance between deleting occasional comments and censorship, y’know?
It’s been worse tbf.
Ok so question time amigos because I’m too lazy to do a time conversion. Is the thing in 30 minutes? or is it in an hour and 30 minutes?
*ive decided to be very tired in the morning*
I think it’s like an hour
One hour and 21 minutes.
Hmm, interesting
bummed but I’ll still stay up I guess
An Hour and a half left
Gentlemen ajust your collective loins
I still need to make a bingo card and set credit card information, oops

I’m using LKD’s:

What have I missed?
Exponential hype levels
Cool, I don’t want to solve any equations tho

Eggman
Cool?
I’m way past cool
Ehh i’ve been known to take blame like every 6th grade gym class loss I blamed myself but yeah kinda split blame
I do that too ;~;
A small argument, SWITCH HYPE, BotW might not be on Wii U anymore, SWITCH HYPE, make a Switch bingo board, SWITCH HYPE, etc.
Huh….
i found a new cyst on my…
Oh about Switch….
So far everything is heating up, but i’d take this time to get steam sources open and pre-order windows up
Oh, coolz
but that cyst…is very much real
And if you touch a computer with it… it’s a Cystem shutdown
i lance it ever couple of months, there was this one time it popped and like a whole marble sized cavity was in the left
you should’ve seen my carpet that night
Vomits
(insert lenny face here)
no it was stained beyond repair
Oh boi, kinks?
only like……7? unless you count body areas kinks
Oh boi
I just sneezed and feel like I broke my neck and my back for a split second… lol Yay for taking a nap in a weird position .-.
when i sneeze i feel my pelvis jump
Is that what you mean by “Rock Wrecker?”
no just a joint problem….
Ouch, sounds painful.
and i’m too phat….
this is relevant, I took the nap to be prepared for the switch thing
I hope Pokken gets revived for switch
And it has the DLC that they’re refusing to give the Wii U
Plus a bit more
Y’know, Like Golisopod, Golisopod, and Golisopod Libre
I don’t think we need more than 1 Golisopod.
Golisopod, Golisopod Libre, and Shadow Golisopod than
And Komala
Definitely,the game is great and we still haven’t gotten the dlc.If they port it to the Switch,they better give us the DLC.
Plus extras, I loved it
The most interesting thing for me is that I’m looking at my stack of money I saved from all the past birthdays and Christmas, and wondering how much of it will be left coming March.
If BotW for Wii U ends up being cancelled/delayed, I’m going to be using the rest of the savings I made this summer from jobs on the Switch….
Switch (250 euro)
Pro Controller (50)
Extra pair of JoyCons (50)
Zelda: BotW (60)
Mario 3D (60)
Splatoon (?) (60)
Mario Kart 8 Port (?) (60)
Case (15)
Portable usb-c charger (25)
eShop credit (~25)
March 17th will be one expensive day
Oh my.
I… don’t think I’m going to be getting all that, maybe just Switch /w BotW, Pro controller, and a game I’m undecided about atm
I’m going full in though. But don’t worry, I have like 1K in cash saved up just for gaming related expenses and quite a bit more than that in the bank for adult related expenses.
I’m saving money for grad school
#FreshmanCollegePlans
Lucky you got a preorder ;~;
That’s awesome about the chain I buy from though, they open preorders quite early, and closer to release they’ll call you and offer to upgrade to all the special editions. Really entices customer loyalty.
Lucky, I don’t have any local gaming stores that aren’t major retailers.
I’ve been saving since christmas 2015, can’t wait to blow it all. It does me no good sitting in a drawer.
lets seeeeeee
350$ in my emergency mustache box
200+ in my Quarter jar (in quarters)
and like 110$ in my tip jar
and like 2.4k in my bank
money ain’t an object
Honestly I never been so hype I started dancing At work lol

Going off of Luigi’s tangent, am I the only new person the past month on here?
z̶i̶g̶g̶y̶
Wasn’t that the troll a few days ago
he never leaves…. unfortunately
Not when I’m done *grabs nukes* time to hiroshima this guy!
Did I go too far?
Trolls are people too. Terrible people.
There are a few people that come and then leave like two days later.
🙁
They’re usually anons though, so I don’t blame myself.
Me: (Studying)
Me: (Mentally) YOU FORGOT TO GET THE YOGURT OUT OF THE FRIDGE YOU F**KHEAD
You have yogurt too I have frosted marshmellow flavored
Cool! I got caramel flavored :3
Any EST people on here with caffeine or food to keep you pepped for the Switch?
2 MTN dews in the fridge and some ice cream
CET here, I went to bed at like 9 pm but now I can’t sleep anymore so I woke up even earlier than expected.
Bad thing is that in no way I’m going to eat some crisps and drink soda at 4 am when I just woke up. I do have some apple juice and cheese though.
Coca-Cola Vanilla and Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts.
And like 2 Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream.
Let’s go boiz
eShop is apparently down according to Etika’s stream. We’re entering full internet lockdown mode.
Watching the old press confrences like Xatu, and what is nintendo’s obsession with the right brain? xD
To all Nintendo Employees on Pokejungle…
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, GET BACK TO WORK!
Love, Reggie.
Love, who?
What are you doing here, Reggie?
You need to get to the conference, pronto!
It’s a Japanese conference so it’s unlikely any of the NOA employees will be there lol
I thought they still invited some of them if I’m not mistaken. They’re just not going to be presenting at all.
Did they? I didn’t know that if they did. I figured it’d be more the Japanese peeps and then tomorrow for the Treehouse event they’d have the NOA guys do their thing.
Shhhh, they don’t know that yet…
Kimishima will be presenting, I’ll just be there to make more memes.
Oh good, you can deliver it in person, Mister Reginator~
Go back to kicking ass and taking names.
That’s not a job, it’s a hobby.
Then you aren’t trying hard enough, son!
Purple Pikmin!
If LKD is right about any rumor, I want it to be about Mother 3.

Where’s the follow up to this story :'(
Two guys in Guy Fawkes masks in a Nintendo-themed car were photographed near the Nintendo NYC event. That is a little bit scary.
Yeah but Guy Fawkes would mean expecting a huge leak from Anonymous or something, not terrorism.
What does that mean?
Guy Fawkes has a long history, but nowadays it’s associated with hackers, huge leakers like Anonymous, or anti-government peeps.
At least, as far as I know. I mostly know it because V for Vendetta.
Hmm, never heard of him honestly, but I recognize the mask.
You should totally see V for Vendetta it’s a great movieOnly an hour and a few minutes left lol
So close!
I swear to god if they really skimp out on how many units they ship out for the release and people are left waiting due to shortages I’ll be beyond pissed. I guess I’ll be pissed with or without the Switch hahaha
SO I’m just finishing up work and now I can go home and be hype with all of you <3
Yea Boi

FAE OMG HOW DID I NEVER REALIZE HOW CUTE MEGA AUDINO IS?
God damnit star! Really? this can never be forgiven!!!
In all honesty though I have a shiny one that I use and yes its cute but its also a hell of a good healing wall
I just never paid attention to it I suppose because… well its Audino and I already overlook it unless im playing Gen 5 and need levels.
I’m totally using one next time I play through ORAS
regular audino imo is oddly shaped, they should have made its mega just a regular evolution so I don’t have to look at the original
yes. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5878a76a337ea5eeaf1b50296f5d30ef71336d8bf6a1b0f0334a99a18b6e4512.gif
the hour of glory draws nigh, but i fear my body will give out halfway though

the gamecube jingle is like the sound of my childhood! My god the gamecube had so many great games. And the N64
I love nintendo
This one is perfect
Has anyone here read Catcher in the Rye?
Yes……..
My opinion about it may be very… controversial, though.
I’ve read it as well it… Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkked!
It doesn’t suck, but I definitely dislike it… strongly.
I can understand how influential it was, why it was banned for a time, and how people can get stuck to it like glue because of it being relatable……
But I thought it was trash, I disliked the character way too much (thought he was annoying and super whiny), and being forced to read the book for 11th grade didn’t help things.
Its a bad book to me I gave up on it
Yeah 11th grade is basically a time when you have annoying and whiny people around you 24/7. The idea of having to read an extremely boring book about another whiny asshole is a bit much hahaha
I pretended to read it when I was in high school. That’s basically it right? lol
Yep I read up to chapter 16 then said I hate this and gave up
I heard the opinions of others and read descriptions/synopsis’s online and that was good enough. Sounded annoyingly unpleasant and gave it a pass. Well as much of a pass as yo can when in school hahaha
He repeats “pronoun” really was at least 200 times during I actually crossed a few out on copy I have
Kill John Lennon…….
Ok, you can only take a joke so far…
Kill John Lennon
Only if he turns out to be Bambi…
kill John….i thought you’d be one of those wackadoos who doesn’t want bambi Dead
But dead bambi’s mom is what happened
Bambi is a little snob, he gives us deer a bad name…
i’ll just kill ya both, happy?
??? What
Kill John Lennon…
Is that what happened with the guy who killed someone and said it was because of the book?
It’s a shit book.
Truth
The main character is so horrible and unlikable. All he does is call people a phony. YOU’RE A PHONY, BITCH
Excuse me higher-ups in the Pokejungle system, could we have a full-length article of Switchmas tomorrow morning EST? I want to read it in the morning before school. Anyways, good night all, and to all a merry Switchmas!
Was thinking of making one for my site, and now the idea will never get out of my head.
Haha Free advertisement
I WAS CAUGHT NOI mean, uh……
You know it 😉
