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!

I’ll be back in a bit
I leave you with this

YOU HAVENT PLAY YOSHI ISLAND AKA ONE OF BEST MARIO GAMES EVER
OKAY LIKE IM PLANNING TO PLAY A BUNCH OF GAMES
I’m finishing Paper Mario this week or next week then moving on to probably Super Mario World. Afterwards I’m going to Yoshi’s Island during February and go from there.
and Super Mario World?! :O
legendaries games only
Play FE: Fates over awakening, it’s much better IMO. Plus it has multiple stories that vary in difficulty for all levels of players.
why do i have to work at 5 am tomorow ugh
Holy crap! How big is Peliper?! Or how small is Ash? Seriously though how can he fly on that thing?
https://youtu.be/ogn4ECkEK2w
Whaaaat Pelipper ride? :/
Side note: Yes, let’s keep 2 electric pokemon in your mouth. What’s a x4 weakness anyway?
Actually Pelipper can grow to roughly 4 feet tall which Ash is
but the sizes i feel is just a average among the species so there could exists specially bred Pelipper used for Pokerides
Fair enough, but still that’s kinda horrifying to think that this thing exist in the pokemon world. Something that could easily snag a small child in its mouth and fly off with it, being near impossible to catch.
well don’t forget Pokemon still have animal instincts so it would be natural that a human ranging from say a toddler or a young adult would naturally urge a pelipper to fly away merely by presence

Event starts: “Hello, Nintendo fans. The Nintendo Switch is almost here. We would love for all of you to experience it but, as is the case with our consoles, they will be in short demand. So, to ease the pain of missing out on our consoles, we have only made one. Nintendo has partnered up with the government of 72 countries, and have created a system. There will be selected: ONE man and ONE woman from each major city within these countries. These lucky participants will be flown out to Tokyo where we have prepared a giant stadium filled with enemies and bosses from all your favorite Nintendo games. Except they can actually kill you. Whoever is left gets the Switch k BYEEEEEE.”
I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE
If I die, at least I die in a boss battle.
Oh baby
Bowser? Just tap the hammer
Ganon? Time to get some tennis lessons before I head in.
Giovanni? DOES THIS MEAN I GET REAL POKEMON?
Mother Brain? Just a big dumb brain! POKE IT IN ITS STUPID EYEBALL
Mike Tyson? … fuck no one is getting the switch
Hope this comes to the Switch

Does anyone not like Kirby? Whats not to like?

I’ve only played the 3D classics version of Kirby’s Adventure and loved it
Kirby Super Star and Kirby’s Return to Dreamland are the best Kirby games, IMO.
Only played Triple Deluxe, Robobot, SuperStar Ultra, and Mass Attack
I love all but Mass Attack
Mass Attack was ehh.
Super Star Ultra is also great. That and the original are among my favorite games of all time.
I love it because Mirror is available in it!
Go play return to dreamland or superstar now, those are the best ones.
It’s Amazing!!!!!!! And the show is Awesome I own the Movie and the first 7 episodes of the show on DVD
Kirby has been digressing in a very painful slew of remakes and spin-offs
Yeah, I used to be a huge Kirby fan but I haven’t bothered with the last three games. The series has lost its freshness. Return to Dreamland was the last great one.
Beetle was a great ability though?
He’s still awesome though
Fun Fact: Kirby is 8th longest running Nintendo game in history
crystal shard is the best game
GameStop is getting 20-30 pre orders per it seems
The entire company seems legit
I know what you mean lol
I’m on mobile and texting fast oops
I’m ALWAYS on mobile, I’m just used to it at this point.
I’m always on computer
I wish I was, but my poor laptop got pumped full of viruses somehow.
Well we’re boned
That’s a lot better then 3 lol
Doesn’t mean anything to me, my area is getting tons of ice tomorrow, so I’ll be stuck home all weekend. Online is my one and only hope.
Was Sonic: Lost World any good? It had a neat style to it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMV9CEN0U1g
That sailed like a brick in a toilet
it wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone says, but like, it also wasn’t good as a sonic game
GUYS WHAT IF THEY HAD A BANJO-KAZOOIE STYLE ICE CLIMBERS GAME WITH DUCKHUNT DUO AS ANOTHER SET OF CHARACTERS?
The mountain would have magical doors filled with small worlds with collectibles.
YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS but when i thought of it i got like a vision of Glover and Gex
Inkling is a must.
What if the switch presentation started with the smash flames intro and into a trailer before Kimishima even took stage? Lol
I want a new Toejam and Earl.
Yes! They need to make another Ice Climber game.
um…what? and all caps doesnt make it any better of an idea than it already is/isnt
Ugh, I’m at that point where it’s so close to a special announcement that my mind can’t focus on anything but I have too much time left. If that makes sense.
Good news guys. Apparently Amazon UK is limiting orders to one per customer. Let’s hope Amazon US is the same way: it might give us a fighting chance.
Nes classic was one per customer and look what happened to that
I have a good feeling that this won’t be as bad.
I hope not I’m trying to get one day one and I’m just not gonna let some scalpers walk in and take them
The switch has like more than 10x more stock though
My family just started watching Zootopia. Perfect way to pass the time 🙂
i loves Zootopia
i wanna fuck that bunny
i mean the movie is fantastic I love it.
WTF?!
damn those curves
Nice meme.
Dude…she might be telling the truth
nah its meme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xSSGy67nwA
Is this Furry?
no its hip to fuck bees
Oh good My friends hunt furries lovers and kill them
Me no want Karen to gey killed by angry teens
Technically that’s just a form of Beastiality
Being a furry means you identify as a Animal
Oh they still kill them for some reason
i am sick to death of stupids being politically incorrect about Furries or the severe nationwide dislike for them
my Cousin’s one of them and she’s picked on because of it
I honestly think they shouldn’t be picked on they are people too
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/27/5e/f1/275ef1879203f5a7717239e555f2a898.jpg
no?
yes
that’s otherkin.
Furries are just a fandom for anthro animals
same thing
it really isnt
Almost how I consider things like Gardevoir porn beastiality?
only by a technicality
My friend is a furry. At first i was furious but then I calmed down. She wasn’t hurting anywoof.
?. Why
Cuz furries are chill.
No the pun anywoof
Look you will regret giving people like that a hard time. Mark my woof!
Me no want hard time me don’t care if they like that or not
Honestly they’re harmless unless provoked
if they give you any guff spritz them or tell them their tail is shoddy that usually shuts them up
*cough cough
I didn’t expect a post on Zootopia to lead me down this rabbit hole.
? Why man
RABBIT HOLE STOP
I couldn’t resist that pun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbUzU2aJKhI
Oh yolo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVp3pGLRWkI
thats really messed up
Um…okay then.
i cant
When you’re unfamiliar with a meme so you run away scared.
guys no im not serious
http://i.imgur.com/CwSF8w5.gif
I can tell…
Just playing along lol
I’m watching the movie Billy Madison so we both know the way and i love Zootopia
My favorite Disney movie 😀
Everything about it is great. The animation, script, characters, voice acting, way they handle social issues. Fantastic movie!
hi
I got my preorder in from last July, I feel sorry for you guys…
what….
Jokes on you friendo, I felt sorry for myself a long time ago.
Yeah I wish I would’ve jumped on it when places were taking pre-orders for the “NX”. TBF though, it was sorta risky.
cant afford a switch so eh
just hoping botw wii u wont be cancelled or delayed
Speak of the devil, huh?
me and shadow are the same person
You mean from another site
no we are the same
I’m back after 3 days! I don’t have good news tho, or at least, I have yet another rumor that BotW Wii U fans won’t like ;(
Was just at a mall’s GameStop. They told me that BotW for Wii U only might be cancelled. They no longer had the boxes for pre-orders anywhere in the store (and the sign for it removed), and they were calling people alerting them about the possibility of a refund.
After questioning them, they told me that they were warned by their head of staff of the possibility. They also said pre-orders would begin tomorrow morning at 10 AM EST at the mall, 7 AM EST for non-mall locations.
If you don’t believe me, you can call North Point Mall’s GameStop in GA.
They didn’t have a price or a release date yet, though. They also said the reasoning behind the delay might be because they’re pushing the Switch version instead of the Wii U version.
They’ll be waiting for the Switch direct as well for confirmation, so treat this as a RUMOR, not a leak. Even then, they could easily change their minds.
There’s also the possibility of a delay, and the employee (which was a manager) could’ve heard differently from their CEO of that branch of GameStop.
I don’t believe that after advertising a game for years upon end that they would cancel a finished game to sell more switches, nintendo can be stupid, but they’ve got to be aware of how much backlash that would cause.
It’s possible considering it would be another grab to boost Switch sales (though at the cost of decreasing BotW sales for fans who can’t afford the Switch and those who are discouraged by the cancellation in the first place).
It’s possible, but would realisitically never happen.
Feel free to prove me wrong. 😛
I want to be wrong because I have friends who can’t afford the Switch but can afford just buying the Wii U game, and I don’t want them to lose an opportunity to play Zelda.
Although I do want a DELAY just to prove I’m sort of right for ego’s sake.
yes please delay the wii u version so I can be spoiled woo
I didn’t mean it like that. I said just for ego’s sake.
DON’T KILL ME PLZ
Nah I’ll justkill myself
Noooooo
Woooooooooooooooooooooo
xD
We’ll find out soon.
Nah, it will be delayed but still released, yet they won’t market in much capacity. There are still like twelve Wii U consoles out in the wild to sell the game to.
I think the delay is more likely and would make more sense, considering the backlash and the fact that the Wii U isn’t getting well received by non-Nintendo fans, since the frame rate isn’t….. super consistent.
Also hi! You’re the first mod I’ve met so far.
ok can we talk about the content of the article or at least more about the switch with the presentation in less than 2 hours…not about furries please?
You must’ve missed the memo, but Nintendo has overtaken pokejungle for copyright strikes. This is now Nintendo Jungle.
Please understand.
I’m going to watch one of Nintendo’s past E3 conferences to pass the time. Which one will it be?
2005
The one that had TP.
That one was so hype
That youtube video still gives me the chills whenever I watch it.
I’m watching 2014 nintendo directs lol
Reggie VS Iwata
2008 is pretty good if you’re a masochist.
the ridiculous comments i see here make it really hard to come back and chat. this is a pokemon site after all so there are probably younger viewers, i dont think its fair that some of this stuff is posted, this morning i saw a comment about half naked women and comparing them to Karen, and now I’m seeing posts about beastiality, and furries? i dont think some of the conversation here is appropriate. just my opinion
I like how the most recent comments weren’t talking about this, but now we are talking about this because you pointed it out.
its hard to comment on the most random stuff, when you aren’t as frequent a user as everyone else
That’s fair, but on the other hand this is the internet, which should sadly but realistically give you all of the information you need.
oh no the children of the internet are gonna lose their innocence
you dont understand clearly. this is a pokemon related site, not 4chan. if you want to post idiotic posts, go there. just because its the internet is not a reason for everyone to become corrupted on every single site. and what is the point of mods if nobody is going to even try to do anything about it
most 6 year olds have probably seen much worse but ok
Complaining about doesn’t really help either. I’ll take action when it’s needed the coming hours. 🙂
I just signed on, but if it’s really inappropriate, I’ll delete stuff and warn people about it from now on.
TBF there’s nothing that out of the ordinary.
and this is why there are rarely any new users
rood
I’m a new user right here. I just joined 5 days ago.
I went as far as to make an introduction too: http://pokejungle.net/2017/01/07/pokemon-mascot-showdown-generation-vii/#comment-3088594766
That’s not true in the slightest, but I don’t really wanna fight this.
lol
We have a good amount
If anything is keeping away new users, it’s our recurring troll.
see? and you result to calling me a troll. every single time. not every user who disagrees is a troll.
he ain’t talking about you lmao
I think he was talking about the troll that was here a few days ago which he had to deal with. That speaks more volumes about you if you thought he was implying about you.
He wasn’t talking about you, there is an actual troll that visits here daily
No no your not who he’s talking about he’s talking about Ziggy fartdust
oh ok i know who you are referring to. i thought he was banned like 3 times. i dont even understand his idiotic arguments with sun and moon
Yeah but don’t worry your not a troll here we just pissed you off a little far
I’m not talking about you lol
For now, we’ll just move on and discuss things related to the Switch. (Hype levels: rising)
I already have a Switch meter for hype.
It’s at –waiting patiently right now.
Hype levels: risen beyond points I thought possible
omg it was just a dumb joke like it wasnt even funny
I’ve only been gone for an hour and this is what I come back to? 😛
I personally think it’s only a problem because he pointed it out. I didn’t see what he’s talking about until then.
I usually just keep scrolling when people talk sexual, even jokingly
I mean, the first time I came here recently, a few days ago, there was a troll talking about Steven Universe and how it’s sexist and some stuff, and I ignored it and paid no attention to it until another person pointed it out all the way at the top in a new comment.
The one about Karen was a meme and should be treated as such. The discussion about furries, from what I’ve read, is completely opinion-based. Because we have an event coming up very soon, the frequency of off-topic posts has to be expected. We can’t remove them all. Most of the comments are about the Switch, that’s the most important thing.
You would remove me how cruel ?
It seems like GameStop will have a good amount one even has 50
Mine is only going to have 30 pre-orders available the first month of pre-orders 🙁
Wait are they telling callers now?
No, I just asked a LOT of questions at the GameStop I was at.
Take your tent and go camping right now.
At a mall GameStop? At North Point?
I think I’m going to just call right before they’re supposed to open, and just keep calling.
Freezing rain could work in my favor….
That’s a still plenty better then the rumored 10
Ooh. Maybe if my mom doesn’t skip work tomorrow then on the off chance that I can’t secure a pre-order tonight, then I can have her drop by gamestop on the way home (unless she gets iced in and can’t get home :P).
