After the silliness of CoroCoro magazine teasing Pokémon Sun and Moon details that delivered very little, series lead Junichi Masuda's subsequent tease was actually worth our time. The Pokémon Company revealed the starters and release dates, firing the starting gun for the gradual trickle of details still to come ahead of the games arriving in November.
There's plenty to be revealed, of course, though Pokémon veterans have done their part dissecting the reveal trailers for information. It seems we won't have long to wait for more, either, with the official Japanese account for the series announcing that more details will come on 2nd June, with the translated text suggesting there'll be more video along with website updates.
Naturally there are no further hints at what the reveal could be - it could range from new Pokémon, to new series features, an outline of gameplay mechanics or something else entirely. There's so much for Game Freak and The Pokémon Company to cover.
In any case, we'll certainly be watching closely for that information on 2nd June.

Yay! Final evos for starters?! I am really hoping the fire ground isn't true... That would mean popplio can x4 litten.... I was really hoping for fire electric but I highly doubt that will happen. If popplio can learn ice beam/ice punch , he/she can also x4 rowlet.... We'll have to see
I guess this means we'll get official information, followed by a CoroCoro promising more information then releasing a trailer with 2 seconds of new footage and the back of an unknown Pokémon again. The process shall then repeat until the game is out.
@Jolt At the rate we're going CoroCoro will still be promising new information by December. Otherwise, pretty excited for June 2nd! Can't come soon enough!
That's far enough from now to be believable.
I can't wait until June. Thankfully that's not that far away. June is going to be an awesome month. I wonder if we will get a direct in July after E3 to announce some more games for the fall. I hope we get a special edition 3DS for these games. I'm actually crossing my fingers that we are getting a small New 3DS with cover plates so I can buy it for my daughter and we can share the plates.
Coz ya know, screw E3 and all...
You getting a Kanto starter and them all having megaevolutions was announced relatively early for XY. Hoping for the same for Johto this time.
@Piersen
That would be awesome. If I can get a Totodile alongside my G7 starters, I could even not choose the water starter this time around.
Who am I kidding, water starters for life!
And the hype train is ready to depart again. Next station: 2nd June.
I can't wait to see all of the new silhouettes they have planned for us!
@Zoda_Fett Not likely. It's way too early for a reveal like the final starter evos. They didn't reveal Chesnaught, Greninja, and Delphox until after X and Y were released. I imagine they'll do the same thing here.
As for what to expect, I'd say they'll only show off maybe one or two new Pokémon, like the dog thing that was hinted at in CoroCoro's trailer and maybe the wire-frame bird from the first teaser. And maybe a look at some of the characters we saw in the trailer, like Hala or Kukui, and maybe some more insight into the male/female trainer. My best advice: expect nothing, then be blown away by what they show.
As for me personally, now I know that I need to avoid the Internet for about five days around that time since all I want to know going in are the starters and cover legendaries.
Reflecting on when X/Y were being teased at through out 2013, I'm simply expecting a handful of new Pokémon designs to be revealed, the legendary Pokemon's name as well, and more detail on the character customisation. :3 That will be enough to keep the hype fueled until November!
Hopefully they don't reveal too much. Wanting to go in fairly blind. Confirm the names and types of the mascot legends, and show off the characters shown in the trailer. Maybe an early route Pokemon or two. That's it.
I have no idea what people are talking about. All I know is I'm choosing the fire started probably and going to train him and throw pokeballs and stuff. Everything else goes over my head. Too complicated for this old school genwunner :/
Petty much what IceClimbers above said.
I'd love to see some footage / info on character customization & if 'mon contests / movies are gonna return too (or something completely new to replace 'em)
@Zoda_Fett That was modified hours after the first video got uploaded; the original uploader now agrees with commentors that it will be Grass/Ground, pure Fire, and Water/Fighting.
@MrNinten Yeah, that's sadly seeming more like a possibility now more than ever. But if 2nd of June means more Sun and Moon info then I am all for it!
This is easily my most anticipated game of the year... granted, I still don't own a PS4 (hoping to pick one up this summer when I get the money). I want my Poplio!
Hmmm, well then I guess I don't have to search the internet all night given in to every hey,listen!!. I can finally get some sleep zzz
