With today's info dump on Pokémon Sun and Moon out of the way, which included Poké Rides and more besides, there's been plenty for us all to digest. The Pokémon Company isn't interested in giving you a breather though, no siree, you have just 12 days to regain your strength before it all happens again.
That's the word on the virtual street, anyway, with the IP's Japanese account stating that 12th August is the date to scribble down in our diaries.
It seems the 6am Pacific / 9am Eastern / 2pm UK / 3pm CET slot is the favourite of The Pokémon Company, too, and considering the scale of some announcements before now it'll be worth following. Who knows, maybe more plastic toys like the light-up Z-Move rings (we have a Gallery on the way to show that weirdness off) will be on the agenda. We'll also keep saying "Pokémon amiibo cards" over and over again until they're confirmed.
We'll see you then to go deeper down the rabbi... Buneary hole.

I bet Tropius is concerned about what Game Freak are going to do to him after seeing Exeggutor's new form....
Do you mean this? https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/760098054066143232
I'm hoping we get to see the evolutions of the starters.
I think "Bunnelby hole" might have worked better here, but I digress. More Sun/Moon info so soon is definitely welcome! Besides, I believe that's around the time CoroCoro hits Japan's shelves.
All these reveals just makes me wish Ukelele Pichu is a thing in the main games...
Anyway, I hope these Alola forms aren't limited to just the first 4 gens, like how Mega's were in XY. There's plenty of Pokemon from Unova to choose as well, like a hot fudge sundae Vanilluxe.
Pokemon sucks.
@Mad_Haus there was Mega Audino at least, though I would like to see more, personally. There are so many well-designed creatures in Generation V and VI.
Is mega evolution returning? I'm worried it was a one gen mechanic, especially with Z moves being added this gen (I mean it might get overly complicated if they start adding new big mechanics every gen).
Oh geez. At this rate they'll reveal all the new Pokemon and I can't help but watch the trailers!
Very excited! I need to preorder...
@ShadJV I doubt that Game Freak would just scrap 40+ Megas like that, which begs the question. If Megas are returning, could they use Z-moves (Mega Mewtwo + Z-moves)? That would be too overkill...
@the101 Yeah, I do know about Mega Audino and Diancie, but they were introduced in ORAS, a year after XY. I too wish that the 'newer' gen would get some lovin'...
A good story will keep me interested, plus new features. Never play Pokémon competitively or online anymore.
Nice, that'll be a good late birthday present for me.
Since the article mentioned wanting Pokemon amiibo cards, I'll point out that I still cannot think of any good use for them. If they're used to unlock Pokemon, then that would vastly lower my enjoyment of the game since I dislike the idea of paying to obtain Pokemon.
@Mad_Haus No, Megas (if they return) wouldn't be able to use Z-Moves. To use them, the Pokemon has to hold a Z-Crystal, meaning you can't hold a Mega Stone.
Of course, that brings up Mega Rayquaza, who doesn't need to hold a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve. If it can use a Z-Move, then it's now more overkill than it already was.
@IceClimbers Oh, I didn't realise you needed a hold item to use those Z-moves. Thanks for clearing it up.
CoroCoro should be leaking right around the same time too.
There's also Gamescom on August 17th-21st, where Morimoto is said to be appearing with a "special surprise".
The Pokemon World Championships are also this month.
THE HYPE TRAIN HAS NO BRAKES!!!!
@SanderEvers To voice my opinion. Sorry it's not congruent with everyone else here.
I am definitely excited for that island challenge. It just makes me wonder if we will have gyms in these games. I hope we find out more about the islands and the region on the 12th or 15th (Corocoro).
@bezerker99 ...Still wasn't a necessary comment...
I'm not sure what else there is to reveal other than mid and final starter evolutions, or of course more Alola form Pokemon. Either way I'm looking forward to it.
@Megumi_Sagano Then report it. If not, stop being butthurt over it.
@bezerker99 Or I could just have you banned...pretty sure Undead or Dank would love to do that if you're going to act like that.
