The Pokémon Direct from 2016, which celebrated the franchise’s 20 year anniversary and also revealed the titles for the next games (Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon) has mysteriously been removed from Nintendo’s official YouTube channel. This comes on the heels of the Nintendo Direct page also having a new slot added. Some fans have pointed out that Pokémon Sun & Moon trailers have also been pulled from various Nintendo channels.
Why would Nintendo remove these videos? We don’t know for sure, but if they were going to reveal information about a title that follows Sun & Moon it would be reasonable that they wouldn’t want fans to get the trailers confused. Depending on how similar the titles look, viewers may mistake features and Pokémon from the previous game as representing whatever title is revealed next.
A new Pokémon Direct coming soon? More and more signs seem to be pointing in that direction.

I doubt stars is real probably another fake rumor.
This is cheap useless humanz mods can figure who u r ……….don’t touch our star though.
siiiiigh….might as well go to bed…..
prays tomorrow that we get an announcementtt
Dark Pit best edgelord
No. Watch my character Im about to play as. this is the best egelord
Who wuz it
Also it’s very weird to be here in Japan where it’s 11:10 am and I’m hearing you all talk about going to bed! Fingers crossed for a direct announcement this evening!
I really hope so, it seems like it’s going to happen with the evidence (hopefully..)
Oh my god, new people (or people I’ve never seen before, but were apparently here before) keep showing up left and right (No offense).
lol rockcrawdant was here for awhile just dissapread for a little bit 😀
I’ve never seen either of you until recently.
You’re a racist
Oh well hi. I’ve been here since 2013. I was originally known as CharizardKing. I arrived during the X and Y days. And I come on here once and awhile. But when there is news I’m on here a LOT!!! 😀
Yeah I took some time off while I finished my undergrad this year. But now the stress is over!
nevermind I was right the second time lol
Happy you remembered me! 🙂
of course I remember you! just left during the spoilers I believe, right?
Nope I was here for all the spoilers. Tried to stay away but couldn’t.
or wait didn’t you have school?
Yep! College!
He’s actually been here for a while, a lot longer than me
Where/why are you in Japan?
I’m studying abroad for eleven days. Just arrived in Tokyo for two days!
Lucky sod.
has anyone used the QR team scanner? i always wondered how that works
how the heck is mega audino OU?!
Smogon has issues atm
umm because they’re awesome
have you never used it? its actually a really amazing pokemon
is a very passive pokemon for my taste. Its movepool limits its, but oh well same could be said about tangrowth and look at my bby being ou for a while now
Its pretty defensive, and while its not as big a wall as magic guard clefable it still does the trick, plus its a really good healer/team healer. two immunities, and only 2 weaknesses. Its a pretty good wall id say. Just not much of an attacker, its more of a support
exactly. on the tier he is (RU or NU) that thing is annoying af. He is one of the best walls beside alomomola
Forgive me if I’m wrong but the only thing that defines what “tier” that smogon puts things in is based completely on how much they are used, so the only reason anything is in OU at all is because its popular, not because of any other reason, their tiers really don’t mean anything
while you make a good point. There is a reason why those pokemon are popular/overused. Because they excel in battles and overall are strong pokemon that can overcome weakness. Audino overall is a good wall agaisnt many pokemon but there are so many strong pokemon that can break through its wall, meanwhile Amoongus, another popular wall, has less threats and its harder to break through
its all a matter of perspective, but don’t listen to me, I don’t play by smogons rules, I don’t think pokemon battles are that linear, I believe theres a way to use every pokemon *cue Karens E4 speech*
true, true. My Granbull set left everyone shook in the XY days
. . . you mean one of the most hard hitting fairy pokemon there is? 😛 lol is granbull not in their “OU” tier? its one of the strongest pokemon there is
granbull is RU smogon is doing the most by making a physical all attacker mon when he can do much more than that
see this is why I don’t listen to Smugon…
But thats what smogon tries to help. A pokemon may not perform well against a mega metagross but can take on others. Thats what the tiers are for. I guess it doesn’t do that very well though :/
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://media.giphy.com/media/oXZ8vXqhulURO/giphy.gif
maybe thats what it tries to do but their website and tiers in general are part of the reason every battle we do and see online follows this cookie cutter formula, its so boring
I do like this gens UU and RU
Much more room for variety
Yeah I like UU
Agreed
Mega Metagross is a joke
I actually rarely see them tbh
Be glad… be VERY glad
I don’t play competitive much I just heard he was in suspect test
I know, he’s stupid fucking broken
Because smogon is having some statistical problems atm and every new mega is OU atm
oh thats make so much sense lol mega audino is an good pokemon on its regular tier
YEah XD
Look at this rad cosplay woah

I remember these leaks … I wish some were real https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fae22d2a208df73af003defd9bc7fe7c4e6540a19eea2ba1748b7be4b9d8885b.jpg
they’re very well designed
IKR!?
THE LEMUR
The lemur and that thingy with the fin I wish were real so bad
TBH I dont like most of these. They all look overdesigned
The Lemur and Fin thingy tho
If these are overdeisgned…what do you call this thing
https://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/hoopa-unbound.jpg
OU
Overdesigned.
I hope Splatoon 2 has lots of good hair styles. I haven’t seen to much variety so far
Man, what ever happened to HeavyMetalFairy?
Hes never coming back. And leave it at that
Wha….
That’s ominous but don’t like it
His obsession with Mariah Carrey led him to a cult.
(I have no idea)
I have no clue I’m wondering the same thing. I think there was a fight tho. I don’t exactly remember, so I could be wrong.
Hopefully a new game will be announced soon but i have to say I am not totally convinced it will be on switch like many are thinking. personally I feel we will get either stars or gen 4 remakes on 3ds this year and next year or in 2019 we will get gen 8 on switch.
But thats the thing…putting either a remake or “stars” on the switch would be ideal and a good way to initiate the shift over to new hardware. Dont have a switch? SuMo is still a good choice to get the more basic handheld pokemon experience. And lets face it…they need to give the switch all the support it can get. It cant afford to have older systems get new first party hits
while I do agree with you I just feel that the first pokemon game on a new system will be a new generation. we will have to just wait and see what happens. either way I will get the new game. just need a switch first lol
What’s up with Pokebeach?
https://mobile.twitter.com/pokebeach_wpm/status/862479618292371456
(sigh) really man?
wait. What? XD
Those look so fake lol
They’re definitely fake…I think WPM has gone off the deep end.
They didn’t even brother to use a more recent DPRemake box art, I’ve already seen that one before
I’m gonna assume trolling??? 🙂
If I wrote a pokemon league fanfiction and needed a bunch of trainers with a signature pokemon, would you all want to be included?
YE
Wynaut?
My Signature Pokemon would of course be Incineroar. That probably means I’d have to be a fire type gym leader.
Yup
Sign me up For Either
Poison Elite 4 or Electric Gym leader.
Either way I want to my personality to be like Acerola, but darker. Im always smiling and laughing but the things I say are quite dark.
For example, “This will be fun I cant wait to see your pokemon suffering from poison/paralysis. Teehee”
Of course ^_^
If a lot of people want to, I can make a tiny form to fill out (desired first name, Pokémon, one characteristic?)
SAMEEE
Name:Buttah
Pokemon: Darumaka,Heatmor,Houndoom,Pyroar and Incineroar (my signature pokemon)
Characteristic: Optimistic
I would be a young guy in glasses with a shirt with “BUTTER” written on it.
And my badge would be the Melting Badge
Name: Seraph
Pokemon: Marshadow (My signature) Decidueye, Gourgeist, Mimikyu, Alolan Maro, Jellicent
Characteristic: Energetic/adorkable
It’s gonna be more like the league ash faces in the anime. but I might throw in some elite for and other people. I love it so far everyone!
Then I have to change my team. How many pokemon? A full team?
Let’s do at most three. Preferably one so it’s easy to remember and then I can write one really good battle and have it like that episode with Gary and the elite four!
If one then Inci, If three then Incineroar Alolan Raichu and Oranguru ( I love Alola)
For one:Lucario
For three:Lucario, Midday Lycanroc, Incineroar.

Characteristics: Quiet, Shy
Name: Blitz
Pokemon: Arcanine (signature), Wishiwashi, Decidueye, Volcarona, Aggron, Alakazam

Oo I’ll do it my Pokemon

Characteristic: Funny
Oh you meant like a Gym keep all but the team will be Dark and my mons
Murkrow, Umbreon, Absol, Stunky, Zorua, Weavile (sig.)
I’ve also been debating whether to write a story or not, but I doubt I’d finish it because I’m lazy 😛
That and I’d probably end up diverging from the Pokemon battle aspect and end up making it more like one of the films (more about combatting mystical disasters than Pokemon battling).
I changed my name. Now you shall call me Butter. (As nobody called me by name when I was called Chibi me me big boy)
What was the meaning of your previous name?
Me me big boy is a meme that the youtuber Jacksfilms created
Corocoro is here, new game is yet to be found
Really? Aw
But it mentions marshadow so thats good
NooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOO00000
;~;
;~;
Not surprised. They’ll want to hold off on the news of a game until THEY announce it. I think they’d prefer to do it themselves than have it leak early through a predictable magazine lol
I wonder if they will reveal anything or if we really won’t get something this year
I’d very surprised if we get nothing this year. They don’t typically do off, on, off year kind of releases. I’d say at some point in this month well be getting something for sure. As to what? Who knows lol
I dunno anymore XD
Marshadow is in it, so it’s not that bad :p
Exactly
I swear to god that kid just fucking jammed out on that goddamn Xylophone
Ffs Sophocles caught a Charjabug in today’s episode. That rules out the possibility of Ash getting one
Why in the world would they show Ash catching one then in the intro? Tis dumb lol
Tbh he threw a ball at it, but was never clear whether he caught it or not
So did he leave?
I haven’t watched it yet but saw some screenshots and it looked like a flashback episode after which he caught a Charjabug near the end of the episode
Flicking through the episode caps on Serebi seems to indicate no, it’s just about Charjabug and the like.
Yay Charjabug!
For some reason it’s in a cage at one point, which is being held by Satoshi, so I get the impression that he caught it for Sophocles or caged it up for Sophocles to catch.
“Charjabug
Sophocles obtained a Charjabug as a gift from Ash when he thought that Sophocles was moving away. Ash caught Charjabug in the forest and brought it to Sophocles for him to capture. After a small battle with Togedemaru, Sophocles captured the Charjabug.”
Oh yay, good guess.
Except now you’ve spoilt it for people who haven’t seen it 😛
Put some spoiler tags on that immediately.
I think there should be a longer gap between Gens, I never understood why A new game should always mean new region and Pokémon.
I would love sequels to older games and more games like Gales of Darkness and Colessuem.
Ok what the hell i beat all the freaking Time Trials and somehow didn’t get the tires
So it seems that Nintendo is doing a “Nintendo Spotlight” for only 2017 games at E3? Wow, that’s just typical isn’t it…
So?
Switch to not get games in 2018 confirmed.
its Focusing on 2017 releases doesn’t mean they wont throw in any 2018 hints
Where does it say that it’s only focusing on 2017? I mean, it makes sense to sneak some 2018 in there.
i wouldnt be surprised if we get one or two games planned, but i rather have 2017 releases only because i dont wanna wait long
Awwh https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a19aa3bfd0d64905ccc82d698710943cd75423d0a420c4f7ef0735a7f68bc70a.jpg
ITS SO CUTE I WANT TO HOLD IT FOREVER BUT I WOULDNT BE ABLE TO BECAUSE ITS A GHOST
IKR!? THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS POKEMON!!
And people wonder why this is my favorite Pokemon
No idea why it’s going to be in the film, it seems odd.
Maybe it’s just going to be in the background the whole time as a teaser for its actual film.
Dude this is classic Pokemon movie mythical pumping
They gotta have a movie for the unreleased crap so they can make money from it
It’s Marshadow so it is worth
I’m still annoyed about that random match…..
I had a Hitmonchan sweep with two bulk ups and ol depressio stole em and ruined my game, I blame you for this
Cause you don’t love him, that’s why, he wanted to show you how cool he was
Fehhhhhhhh
Although technically speaking it is technically a Fighting type which I’m fond of…..
I should get the Brick Breakers back in action
Emboar
M. Heracross
Lucario
Breloom
Hawlucha
Gallade
It gets close combaaaat
Hawlucha is underappreciated, an amazing High Jump Kicker
Sadly this team is a little sucky, I mean there’s a finite number of Fighting types that can fill every role of a team.
Maybe I’ll switch Hawlucha for Hitmonlee, I dunno I need a better Special Fighting other then mlp bait
Lucario is really the only option, it has decent Spec Attafck
Oh! And mienshao
Siiigh all my favorite beefy fighting types can’t make a team alone…..
They can’t, you can’t make a fighting mono and be good without the horseys
If it didn’t come down to balancing and actually countering things
Emboar
M. Heracross
Pangoro
Throh
Hariyama
Kommo-o
True, GF love money more than they love the fans.
But this is an exception because Marshadow is a pure ball of perfection who deserves everything good
It’s cute af though :3
Is there any problems?
