Pokémon Direct 2016 Mysteriously Pulled from YouTube

by

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’m sitting in SAT prep, aka throwawayclass.exe

          This class doesn’t work, I took the SAT already, and this class improved my score by exactly 0 points

          • Are American SATs different to UK SATs?
            We only did sats once at the end of primary school and then never again 😛

          • They are a huge ass test at the end of 11th grade that basically decides a lot of your life and college and shit

          • Not the same then.
            Also don’t believe that they decide your future, they don’t.
            They’re just for getting into college and college is far more important because it’s where you’ll specialise and do the really hard stuff.

      Poisoning can occur from ingestion, inhalation, absorption, or
      consumption of rubbing alcohol.”

      Huh. Erm… don’t breathe the fumes?

        • Out of interest, what sort of shop do you work in?

          For some reason I imagined you working in some remote log cabin in Oregan selling trail mix and maps.
          That or a hardware store with drills and hammers.

  24. Second stages of my starters! And they all have signature moves that they learn through evolving!

    Bearave (Bear + Brave)
    Grass
    The Defender Pokemon
    They are very active, protecting those in need. They are very loyal to their friends. The amount of moving from place to place they do would make any human tired.
    Looks like a not-fully-grown bear stanging on two legs with green fur. It has a giant leaf on It’s back that is tied with an “Ivy Belt” it has on It’s Belly and hips.
    Based on a bear and Ivy. (He moved on from Vine to Ivy)
    Signature Move:
    Sudden Leaf Strike
    Grass
    Physical
    65 power
    10 PP
    User can’t be put to sleep this and next round.

    Slithermal (Slither + Thermal)
    Fire
    The Shedding Skin Pokemon
    Even the parts of it’s old skin that are already shed can be moved by him like limbs. He puts them on fire to deal more damage.
    Looks like a bigger version of Snakoal with a diffrent face and with a diffrent black mark on It’s forehead. And it has “arms” made of split in half upper part of his shed skin with the “hands” (the parts that were the skin on his face) being on fire. I hope that made sense.
    Based on Vipera Berus snakes and snakes shedding skin.
    Signature Move:
    Scaly Blaze Slap
    Fire
    Physical
    65 power
    10 PP
    User’s next move is twice as likely to land a crit.

    Cupole
    Water
    The Water Vole Pokemon
    As the Pokemon evolve they change into young fighters. The cups are even more important to them now because they use them as weapons.
    Looks like a bipedal European Water Vole with wet yellow hair, simmilar to Waterole’s whiskers that holds a porcelain /Clay cup.
    Based on the same things as Waterole.
    Signature Move:
    Spraying Cup Stream
    Water
    Physical
    65 power
    10 PP
    User’s next move ignores target’s stat changes.

    The final stages probably coming tommorow with their signature status moves!
