...aaaaaaand the hype is dead again. @Serebii, when do you think we'll next get Sun/Moon related news?

Ahhhh, this makes me want to finish the game faster. I've really paced it out, catching everything and battling anyone (something I've been doing since OR was released). Maybe I'll save that for Yellow...

Nothing beyond it being released next month, March 2016 (my bets are on the second half of the month). Shouldn't have to wait too long for an announcement, and, if you've signed up already, probably an email notifying you of its release. Apparently Nintendo plan to have four apps up and running by March 2017 with over 100 million users (these apps not being for games, note).

It's a third or a quarter of the price you pay for a brand new Pokémon game?

The thing that made a lot of people think it was fake is that we got too many things we've wanted for so long (and if you didn't before, you will now); • dolphin Pokémon. • a load of dual types we've never seen before, the standouts being: grass/fire, ice/fire, fighting/dragon, bug/ice, ice/flying, poison/ground, ground/fighting, ice/fighting.

Firstly, hearing that they say "For Iwata!" at the end of each meeting concerning the NX is one of the best things I've ever heard about a game company. He will forever be sorely missed, and Nintendo, despite apparent major shifts internally, look to the future more as a cohesive unit as opposed to individual components. Secondly, if even only a few things that the source outlines is on the NX, it sounds great. This is sure to be a great year for Nintendo!

Couldn't find the original, but: http://aminoapps.com/page/pokemon/5664058/gen-6-5-pokemon-list-leak Absolutely zero of these strike me as sun and moon legendary Pokémon.

All the Pokémon. You could have people that are breeders, photographers, coordinators, trainers...each with some sort of special ability.

It is for the 3DS. Scroll to the bottom of this here page: http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-sun-and-pokemon-moon/ Heard the rest before, but hadn't heard of the Lei being the connection to flowers. I like it!

I urge you to make a thread on this topic!!! (in particular game sequels, but keeping it open as sequels would do just as well I'm sure)

That's great! Are you enjoying it?

Did you get Blue this time?

Really?! One of the VC downloads of RBY? I saw, great job Serebii, I really enjoyed it! I think you should really consider doing it more often, well done Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon. PSMD. SM. S&M. Sun & Moon.

what did everyone do for the 20th Anniversary? I went to work, and whilst on my lunch break went to GAME (which was of course packed). Picked up download codes for RBY VC, the Mewtwo and Pikachu amiibo, and asked for a Mew code (the guy was kind enough to give me a code for both my OR and X games). Had a great chat with the cashier whilst transactions were taking place, and he let me know that they were already taking £5 deposits for pre-orders of Sun and Moon. Great to meet some fellow fans!

In the UK, GAME are already taking £5 deposits towards pre-orders of Sun and Moon.

Picked up Red, Blue and Yellow downloadable codes in GAME whilst on my lunch break at work today. It's an understatement to say it was absolutely packed. Also picked up the Pikachu and Mewtwo amiibo, and started talking to the cashier: they're already taking deposits for pre-orders for Sun and Moon. Finally got around to asking for a Mew code (not going to leave it so late next time), and he asked which game I had, and I responded by saying I had both Omega Ruby and X. Gave me a code for each!

That's exactly how I feel about the current state of it (VR). Be great to one day see an online Pokémon MMORPG on VR...

You have to remember that although we've had the 3DS for five years, we've only been getting 3DS Pokémon games for half that time (two and a half years). XYORAS were a step up in graphics from Gen V, due mainly to a completely new engine, and I expect SM to be much more refined. Remember, BW2 were released eight years after the DS was released, and Gen V was a refinement of the engine introduced in Gen IV. Considering what we see of multiple angles of the Pokémon Centre and considering the C-stick is New 3DS exclusive, I'd like to think we'd be able to change the camera angle ourselves in these games. Very rarely have I ever seen Serebii that he was stunned by Pokémon news, that just emphasises how much of a deviation from the previous route they seem to be taking. As for Zygarde, at first glance, on its Perfect Form it has 5 shapes, one being white, one being X blue, one being Y red...and rather interestingly, one being very similar to Sun orange and the other to Moon blue. I think we could see Kalos as post-game content (or, perhaps, and I hope not: even Hoenn). It's coming to 3DS. If them opening a 3DS at the end of the announcement wasn't enough, it even says so on the site (scroll down to "platform" below the article): http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-sun-and-pokemon-moon/

Well, what we have is rather inconclusive. However, the more I look at it the more I see Hawaii: 1) the number plates having rainbows (look closely at the plates of the truck https://m.imgur.com/account/GamingNews101/images/RA2sChC )... http://www.15q.net/hi.html 2) that lady in XY talked of somewhere in the world where a waterfall flows backwards. I believe she could be referencing Waipuhia Falls, in Oahu, Hawaii. http://onlyinhawaii.org/upside-waterfall-oahu-hawaii/ 3) the Strange Souvenir. Though many had it vetted as relating to Rayquaza (Hoenn would fit the description of a far off land), it doesn't look a thing like Rayquaza and could easily be in reference to Hawaiian Tiki masks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiki 4) looking now at the vehicles, a quick search for "Hawaiian ambulances" and "Hawaiian fire trucks" shows that the art shown is very similar to the real-life versions in Hawaii.

Better than nothing, and we'll have more soon I'm sure. It looks like Machamp, Furfrou and Wobbufett in the back of the truck.

Some are thinking as far as an abolition of EVs and IVs. It would certainly open the door for many more competitive battlers (and we'd all have the same if not very similar tools then, and it will be down to skill and our "friendship" stuff introduced in XY which I haven't looked into since). As for legendary Pokémon...we only got three new ones upon release at the start of the last (?) generation. Shouldn't be too hard to have more than that. Looking at it again, that hotel could be a Water type gym, and as opposed to the Gen VI notion of standalone gyms, we could return to the Gen V notion of doubling a place of interest up as a gym. I mean, a Horsea water fountain, a Horsea flag, paintings of Spheal, Staryu, Chinchou, and then a painting of Horsea (from left to right). On the right of the building behind the tree you can make out what look to be pincers, Krabby perhaps? If this is indeed the case, I'd have to assume that this gym would be rather early in the game due to no evolved Water types being evident. Thoughts?

Thanks for the greetings! Yeah, that was grasping at straws. From the looks of things and the unsubstantial amount of evidence, I'm getting a Hawaiian or Chinese vibe. Hopefully here to stay!

Yep, it's called CoroCoro. My immediate thoughts were: 1) Officer Jenny in-game? The International Police (Looker)? 2) Surely they'll help out either against the evil team or limiting the damage they do. @Serebii, do you think it's possible that the New 3DS exclusive feature will be changing the camera angle (as in the 3DS remaster of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) through use of the console exclusive C-stick?

Well, considering he's got this and a Disney game right, I'd assume he managed to keep opinion out of it. NX AND SUN/MOON HYPE MY PUG-PICTURED FRIEND

No, I'm sure it was the same guy. He talked about marketing for the Wii U in reference to Zelda remember?
