It’s that time of the year once again – The Pokémon World Championships are here!
The official Pokémon Youku (the Chinese equivalent to YouTube) has posted a private video whose thumbnail ended up in subscription feeds for a lucky few. The original title of the video, when translated to English, was “USUM 0818”. Based on the overwhelming evidence, and past reveals at Worlds, this is preparation for a trailer that will most likely be shown at the opening ceremony for Worlds – which will be streamed on the the main stream at 9am PST! Keep it locked on PJN for what’s to come!
Click on the links below to watch along with your fellow Junglers and join in on the fun in the comments! The Main Stream kicks off with the opening ceremony at 9am PST, while the others will start at 10am PST!

.. still keeping expectations low
The trailer is only a minute long, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
One minute of the legends doing nothing
Also, worth mentioning that the two Game Informer journalists had a Reddit AMA and hinted at a brand new feature in USUM – saying that they’d release a video about it on Friday. New trailer will hopefully touch on this? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/14bb76b1ae4ed33b50ad2753b05a25668f4c91944a5cfd5280afd70c890d06d5.png
You know you could upload a higher res version….

Also notice the map on the background. To the right side, Poni Island (bottom) doesn’t have the rocks blocking the Surfing path anymore, which may mean we can surf between Islands. At the top, above a tree, there’s a Purple Swirl, Portal-esque. Ultra Space portal thingy? I guess.
And apparently nothing but the sky/clouds are reddish while the water is still blue, so I wouldn’t say “sunset!” but, who knows.
Notice how the new building is right where the empty space was, next to the police station. 8 plot spaces filled in pretty much confirmed, then.
I just wonder if they’ll all house the same thing, or we’ll get different ones for each slot
But it doesnt appear to be a gym though. Looks like a menu billboard next to the door, café or restaurant maybe?
I don’t think that’s a menu, I think it’s a sign. I mean it doesn’t mean much since the written stuff we usually see is gibberish or Japanese but it’s mostly pictures on it
At least it’s SOMETHING
I’m quite happy if its just this new building being showcased… But of course I hope we have inside it a few more surprised or hints at more stuff
I wonder what exactly the building is supposed to be, it doesn’t look like a gym to me, so I’m thinking it could be a contest building
I think it might be different, I think it’s a bit too gaudy for a contest building because the past contest halls had more elegant designs
Then maybe it’s some sort of new feature
I can’t wait for the new feature to reveal!!! And who knows? Maybe that’s not all 😉
Hey I had a crazy idea about the building!
It kinda looks like a theater… so what if its a new feature like Pokestar studio’s movies?
I think it would be really cool!!!
Pokestar was lame so i hope it doesnt come back
If it’s Pokéstar I better not be dragged through that tutorial every time I play the game
Uh, but that’s just one building, and I doubt the 7 other buildings are going to have Pokestar all at once considering one is enough. So maybe each one has its own different thing
Wait?… their are 7 of them?
(Sorry I never read the info)
There are 8, the red building is just one of them
Hmmm
The building appears to be related to Rotom Dex camera, you can see a camera in the window to the left and if you zoom in onto the sign next to the door, the camera symbol is clearly present.
Ok pardon my stupidity but where exactly is that screenshot. Which island/town?
Looks to be Melemele
Hau’oli city
Thanks. So apart from the new building does the texture of the road/colouring look any different?
Like how they did from DP to Platinum.
The road doesn’t seem different, only the empty space has a different colouring to me
Finally news appears in my news list that I actually care for
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2017/08/17/pokemons-creators-on-the-anime-we-werent-really-sure-about-it.aspx
Finally it looks like we are getting something. Hopefully we get something good but not getting my hopes up

Are you thinking what I’m thinking!?
Maybe a new trial related to making pictures? Idk could be cool, as long as its not something lame like Pokestar
But Mimikyu?
Maybe an expanded version idk
Ewww not Pokefinder
When comes a new trailer?
Possibly in four hours since that’s when the opening ceremony for worlds starts
So I really like the design of Alola.
The diverse environments, tropical feel and non linearity makes this region what it is.
I really hope they add more islands, maybe show us the map today?
Who else thinks Alola is a great region, possibly best so far!
Maybe it is a gym
Where is everyone? I’m teeming with excitement all alone here rn
im pretty excited tbh
I think I am going to keep my expectations low. It could be something great and worthy of Hype, but at the same time company’s like Gamerinformer have hyped stuff up before for the certain games and then those games or features aren’t worth of the hype. Here is hoping for a new app that allows you to stream your 3DS game play to the Nintendo Switch. (I know this isn’t possible).
10 Minutes till the ceremony and, yet no one is here!!!! And anyone got a Link to it?
I think it is 9 am PST. Right now is is 5:50 am PST.
Wait… 9:00 am there?! So not 7 mins. From now… F*CK!!!!!
It’s not ten minutes? It’s like, another four hours
*three
T_T I hate my life right about now. I’m going to go read my book for school
Its like 6 am in the States lol
Not in New England (The East coast) its almost 9:00 here
That’s not how time works…
I wonder if they have new Pokemon
It’s hard to say for sure from one picture, but the empty lots don’t seem to have been replaced by gyms… perhaps contest halls?
ohhh new info
