Topic: Pokémon Sun & Moon - Discussion & Speculation

I think the fire/fairy one wasnt the chinese leak but a reddit leak that got disproven awhile back as a result.
There was one other that leaked the pokemon and that got disproven with the new pokemon reveals as well.

@MegaBeedrill Yeah, that ''full Pokedex'' leak; those things never happen, so I don't know why people bought that in the first place.

@Tsurii That was only because certain retailers broke the street date by a week. Nintendo and TPC were pretty pissed about that.

I'd imagine a few days before release we'd get a leaked pokedex through the pokebank update like what happened during ORAS.

I doubt a sun and moon demo will come out for earlier news like ORAS did confirming all megas (or in other words, deconfirmed future ones).

Unless they pull an X/Y and make transfering impossible for the first quarter year of its release.

The train never stops!

I don't know if I have correctly conveyed my amusement at the move name "Stoked" Sparksurfer. Surfachu is looking more appealing than ever!

Stoked.

Pulverizing Pancake might be the best move name ever by the way. It was even trending on Twitter earlier!

Also just remembered that CoroCoro scans should be coming on the 10th-12th, which will be focused on Rockruff's evolution.

I was excited to see Alolan Rattata; I prefer its design over the original, actually. It makes it look more like a dark, scrappy rodent. Also, as mentioned elsewhere, Alolan Raticate is also confirmed! If it's anything like a mob boss though, Honchkrow may not take too kindly to that....

Tbh I'm not as excited about Z Moves as many others seem to be, but I admit that Pulverizing Pancake is a cool name. XD

Forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder! I've been curious about what Rockruff evolves into due to the alleged leaks.

Where was alolan raticate confirmed?

Everybody is telling me raticate was also confirmed but there is nothing on serebii or in any other references I can find.

@MegaBeedrill The logic about Alolan Raticate stems solely from the fact Alolan Rattata exists.

@MegaBeedrill @Grumblevolcano It was confirmed here in Alolan Rattata's description:

"Alolan Raticate serve as their boss."

Ah thanks.

Points to Game Freak if it even remotely resembles Giovanni.

So now that we know that signature Z-Moves are a thing, the question must be asked: will Rayquaza get a signature Z-Move?

@IceClimbers Wouldn't it be kinda OP to have Mega Rayquaza have a Z-move? Doesn't he already have Dragon Ascent and Draco Meteor too?

@Haru17 I think that megas won't be able to do Z-moves, but we'll see.

@Haru17 Exactly.

Well theoretically speaking, inorder for something to use a mega, or to use a Z-move they have to hold the respective items to use either.

Rayquaza doesn't have to hold anything to mega, so it can hold a Z-move crystal to use a Z-move of any type it wants, considering everything in the game from bidoof can even use one, disabling rayquaza from using it would be a bit odd.

@MegaBeedrill Well yeah, but...
*runs away

Jokes aside, you are right, however I think they can add something in the story that explains that pokemon can't perform them while in mega form. Still I wouldn't have any problems if megas are able to do them.

Maybe they could add that Rayquaza needs a Mega Stone now???
