    • Rowlet does not evolve and Rockruff and Rowlet will both work together to pick up the KO on Lycanrock. Probopass will be knocked out earlier.

  4. I’m feeling that Nintendo will probably make a general Direct (like the one from April) next week, either August 9 or 10. Maybe the week after that. My point is, I think they’ll definitely give the first USUM trailer through that, showing the box art and stuff. Anyone else think this could happen?

    • Yes. It is a little disheartening to think that the first reveal will probably only be about the covers and legendaries. However, that also leads the way for a hopefully more exciting reveal at World.

    • I say that’s incredibly unlikely. I mean, what do they have left to reveal for this year? It’s not close enough to 2018 to look that far ahead in a regular direct, and other than USUM and the AC app, which will likely have its own event, there isn’t much left to say. Though it would be nice, I’ll say that. Maybe they could scrap together that Kirby title, an USUM trailer, a new Xenoblade clip, and call it a day.

        • Forgot about that
          What left is there to say?
          Don’t know much about that, so I can’t say anything
          Yeah, but Pokemon usually has their own announcements
          Kirby 2017 stuff, yeah
          Probably too early
          Yeah, that would be nice
          Seems likely, ARMS updates seem especially slow considering what they promised
          Also forgot
          No way

          • They could elaborate on Samus Returns Amiibos

            Same honestly

            Sure but if they are getting one more Nintendo direct then why not?

            Ye

            I mean not if it’s an early or mid 2018 title

            Xenoblade is just a go to at this point

            Also they could mention that fire emblem game

          • I guess they could potentially scrap up a direct, but then they have nothing until January if they’re doing another presentation. I say wait a month or two.

    • Idk. I can see a direct happening at some point, but I’m not sure Pokemon will be featured. Main Pokemon games are already so rarely shown in directs and they just mentioned one in June. I can’t imagine they’ll talk about USUM. If we get anything it’ll be through TPCI press releases we’ve been getting as of late. That said I’d say we’re definitely getting something very soon. Before the 10th anyway.

  7. Hopefully, this isn’t true smh

    >the legendary pokemon shown in the trailer are not new forms of Solgaleo and Lunala, but rather Necrozma’s Radiant Sun and Full Moon forms. It transforms by using one of 2 exclusive Z-moves.

    >some of the new alolan forms include an electric type Alolan Dodrio, a dragon type Alolan Ekans, and a rock type Alolan Lapras obtained by reviving a fossil.

    >the story is mostly the same as Sun and Moon, though Lusamine seeks to unleash the Ultra Beasts by using Necrozma instead of Cosmog. There is also a mission after the beasts are unleashed where the player, the rivals, zygarde, the kahunas, and the tapu defend alola from the beasts. UB-05 Guzzlord and Zygarde have a special role though I dont know what it is. Cosmog is notably absent until postgame.

    >gyms do not return, but some of the totems at the end of each trial are changed from pokemon sun and moon.

    >some new postgame areas are added where you can catch legendaries from previous games, such as a volcano where Heatran appears. This does not include “mascot” legendaries such as Dialga or Xerneas.

    >Move tutors are added through festival plaza shops. They require Festival Coins as payment.

    >New trainers are added to the battle tree, such as Steven and the rival from Gold and Silver.

    Next episode:

    Olivia and Gladion’s Lycanrocs

    Type: Null appears

    Rockruff fights Tapu Lele

    Ash’s Rockruff’s eyes glow green in reaction to the sunset

    Seeing as two other Lycanrocs are there, it’s obvious third evo hype is real

  11. -We’re due merchandise on around the 10th

    -Ash’s Rockruff will evolve on the 10th

    -CoroCoro comes out earlier in August

    Hold your horses bitches, we getting a Lycan form

  12. Predictions for third Lycan form:

    – Domestic dog, stays pure Rock. Stat spread is similar to Rockruff’s but obviously better
    – Direwolf, Rock/Dark. A balance between Midnight and Midday’s stats.
    – Wulver, Rock/Fairy. Again, a balance between the two existing forms, ooor a special attacker.
    -Necrozma based, Rock/Psychic. Most common prediction I’ve seen.

  13. Just clocked, this would be only the 2nd time in the series where a new form or evolution from a new game/generation is introduced via the Anime. Mega Charizard X in Origins
