Topic: Pokémon Sun & Moon - Discussion & Speculation

I actually wouldn't be that surprised if CoroCoro covers the reveal trailer info yet again, it hasn't been covered in CoroCoro yet and news tends not to pick up until May/June, so we probably won't be getting much if anything out of this month's issue.

I'm expecting to see footage from Nintendo Direct.....or perhaps the Digital Event. That seems obvious.

I'm gonna get them. But I'm a bit skeptical about the designs.....like I know that it will be like the usual Pokemon tradition so I'll have fun there....but the reason why I haven't touched Y as much as Diamond, Heartgold and Black is because well.....the pokemon designs were good majority of the times. Y didn't add that many which disappointed me.

Also, I normally won't ask for pretty visuals and such but after playing Fates, I would like it if they made the next game prettier than X/Y if they are gonna do things 3D.

I miss the pixel art games though.....guess times have to change for the better.

I want to see where they take the soundtrack. After all, Black/White was very different from Diamond/Pearl in terms of soundtrack and soundfonts despite both being on the DS. This being a new generation will allow them to go in a different direction.

So will Sun and Moon be a type of Reboot? Gen 3 and 5 were kinda like Small Reboots. Will this follow suit?

Gen 3 was a kind of reboot since it didn't connect to the older Pokemon Games. Gen 5 was kinda a reboot since it had a full pokedex of new Pokemon and had unique mechanics. (personally hated the Exp mechanic in Gen 5)

Bein' awful generous with the term 'reboot' there, Def.

@Haru17: Yep, but couldn't think of a better term for it lol

Doesn't look like it. SM seems to be shaping up to be a 20th anniversary game that takes inspiration from various older regions, I think it's going to be more like XY than RS or BW.

JUST RELEASED footage of Pokemon Sun and Moon. A NL forums EXCLUSIVE:

@Haru17: Whoa, is that gonna be Mega Charizard Sun or Mega Charizard Moon?

Sun, Mega Chirizard Moon will be green, and fire/poison dual type.

Methinks this is what happens when a Charizard evolves with the new Time Stone.

It's actually this:

But srsly, are they really gonna do another alt mega evolution set? Man, that's so laaaaame!

@Haru17: It's possible. I seriously doubt they'd do it for Charizard though haha. Four different Mega Evolutions is a bit much.

Said Evee

Nah, how about we give all fully evolved Pokemon multiple mega evolutions. That way everyone has separate designs to choose from. My world would be lonely without the brilliant designs that are Mega Charizard Y and Mega Mewtwo Y, when compared to their version exclusive counterparts. If anything I'm glad that the X exclusives weren't the only mega evolutions for these two Pokemon. I also love the idea of those two having dual megas. They can both be used physically and specially now. It just adds ways for you to use the Pokemon you've come to love, and I actually want them to continue this trend. I want a Mega Mismagius Sun and Mega Mismagius Moon.

I hope they change the Mega Evolution animation to be like... super glowy and stuff. Like, I want my Pokemon to look like they're going Super Sayian, and I want energy to still be flowing off of them after they Mega Evolve, kind of like in Pokken Tournament.

And suddenly we have 3670 different Pokemon to use (counting multiple mega evolutions for all of them).

Try 20 (4 different megas for 5 pokemon).

@BlatantlyHeroic: Nice, another Y evolution fan! I love charizard Y and mewtwo Y. Shiny charizard Y is simply amazing.

Inb4 we get mega mewtwo x, y, o, r, a, s, sun, and moon.

Why wouldn't this surprise me...

So how many of you think or hope this will be a whole new game, or a continuation of a previous gen (ex: finishing up x and y or a composite of all the other gens)? Why?
