The little Horsea fountain is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a Pokemon game to date and it's not even finished yet
 
That building with the Horsea fountain kinda looks like a water gym with all the water pokemon. Just my guess
 
Notice the furfrou, machamp and blastoise on the back of them trucks lol.
 
Im so hyped OH MY GOD YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW LOUD I SCREAMED
 
I'm wondering if what is said in the trailer ("it all comes together in a brand new Pokemon adventure") is hinting at something considering the reveal trailer was focusing on all the existing games. All the current regions being in the game seems unlikely, but maybe all the Pokemon will be available in one region this time around? It would probably have to be a pretty big region for that.


Still, it's nice that it's been revealed, but I can't hype over something I know almost nothing about.
 
Pokemon Tumblr posted this along with the reveal trialer:

"The next era of Pok?mon games has been announced! Pok?mon Sun and Pok?mon Moon are coming to the Nintendo 3DS family of systems in late 2016"

use of "next era" implies gen 7, but really who knows I'm v confused atm
 
Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon!!!!!!!!!

I watched the Pokemon Direct earlier and I'm making some art on Miiverse about it too....


POKEMON SUN AND POKEMON MOON are coming out in 2016, around Xmas!

Who else is excited?!

What are you guys hoping, expecting or even theorizing about the games?
 
I'm honestly not sure what the plot will be, but I'm considering the games having something to do with the Zygarde cores. There are two, and the dots on their backs have the same coloring as the logos.

Yeah, tbh not sure what to expect atm, but if it is gen 7, I expect large focus and the ability to visit Kalos, much like Gen 2 was with Kanto. Otherwise Kalos seems like such a waste.
 
Some people reported that it may take place in a region inspired by Singapore based on the location showed

Saw this too. Tbh I'd prefer it not be based of yet another Asian region, since Gen 1 through 5 were all based on different parts of Japan. Though Singapore is an entirely different part of Asia then Japan, and also has a completely different culture. I feel like it could work really well providing they decide to focus on the landscape and environment rather than the "Asian theme" I guess is the word I'm looking for.

maybe thats just b/cos i want canada region rly bad :(


UK press release also refers to it as a "New generation of Pok?mon Game".

There's a buzz in the fandom regarding whether it's "definitely" gen 7 or 6.5 like chill you don't even know ;v;
 
I guess we shouldn't have to wait too long for the next reveal of this game, since it is coming out this year. I'm gonna need starters tbh.

I'm holding out for something next weekend, but maybe that's just me being optimistic. At the very least, Coro Coro should leak by March 14th which should have some more information, so it's only a little over 2 weeks until we get anything new, which isn't that long tbh.
