~ Official Pokémon News Discussion Thread ~ [POST POKEMON NEWS HERE]

[Aromatic Mist]

Speaking of out of battle, more Pokemon out of battle would be really nice! Not necessarily walking Pokemon because that's impractical due to a variety of reasons, but like in BW2 where Pokemon were outside their Poke Balls with their trainers all the time.

Sorry if someone has brought this up already, but just reading through Masuda's blog now (been a very busy weekend) and can't help but notice Ciao at the end.

Ciao

A hint at an Italian region? I mean, I'd love it...going to be a bit of a wait.
Italy was one of my first guesses

 

[Tuoko]

Since they've announced it's a video, I get the feeling it'll be like the XY trailer.

I doubt it'll be like ORAS considering that's a reveal trailer... Which SM already got.

Didn't he say that during XY iirc?

I dunno, that just seems like a stretch tbh.

Yeah, I agree. Think my hopes for an Italian region are blinding me, but alas.

What are everyone's thoughts on the region inspiration going into tomorrow? Seems like a lot of people have moved on from Hawaii?

Not sure why people moved on, it's still a really good possibility.

I haven't really moved on from Hawaii, so I'm still on that side.

Yeah, I agree. I suppose hopes for something out of the blue simmered down after the announcement trailer, but I've definitely had fun picking it apart with everyone else (kind of why I hope they don't ruin the games with reveals this time around)

 

[dman_dustin]

When is the announcement going down? Are American's going to get the information Early Tuesday morning as it'll be Tuesday night in Japan. So based on the Tokyo Time, it will be in about 19 hours?

Yeah, roughly 19 hours and 6 minutes as of this post.

 

[Taodragon]

I still think it's Hawaii, most of the information and some of the teases that we do have lines up with that theory whereas most others are mostly relying on potential inspirations behind the names of Pokémon (which doesn't always play into the region as those like the Weather trio will tell you).

 

[ebevan91]

Yeah, roughly 19 hours and 6 minutes as of this post.

Oh man tomorrow is going to be great. No class for me, the Witcher 3 Blood and Wine embargo lifts, and we get Sun/Moon information.

 

[Red and Blue]

I still subscribe to Hawaii myself based on all the hints from the small teaser and the strange souveneir.

 

[Nockturne]

Well this makes this whole thing even more convoluted since we have people on your side that are saying that people should not expect much, and then people on the other side saying it's ridiculous not to no expect at least something like the xy trailer.

Well I'm not really on a side per se, I'm just saying there are some people that speculate their socks off and then accuse GameFreak/CoroCoro/whoever of lying to us or trolling us when all their dreams don't come true. Which I think is flawed and immature.

I think we'll get a decent bit of info, I'm not gonna put specifics on it because I don't want to get my hopes up just to be let down. But if I did specify and bunch of stuff and it didn't appear in the video I'm not about to start accusing gameFreak of intentionally letting down the fans or endangering sales by not telling us everything we want to know up front/ This isn't specifically directed at you its just a general phenomenon that happens in the forums at times like this. Peoples imaginations run away with them and then instead of blaming themselves for getting carried away they blame Game Freak for letting them down, even though that haven't made any promises.

 

[knightwolf09]

All I want is legendaries and starters as of this point. Gameplay and region would be a bonus, and if we do see trainers, hopefully there'll be a hint that customization comes back.

Not to mention uncharted 4 finally. I havent been this excited to wake up early for awhile.

 

[hydrosharp_98]

You guys are so lucky.

At 13:00 tomorrow BST I'll be sitting in a Philosophy class revising for my AS exam next week, and after that I have double Physics.
Oh the joys...

I'll see you all at about 16:30 BST tomorrow then

 

[dompidu]

I think there are lots of evidences for Hawaii being the region. However, I have to reckon that that "ciao" is curious. Maybe we have a return for Giovanni?

YES! I'm praying that even if not in this news, we'll see customization return. It will be nice to see that their putting their customers before their silly need to follow traditions and the status quo!

 

[lemoncatpower]

So excited
When I wake up tomorrow I can look at serebii and the news will be updated!
Please for the starters and gameplay (YN)

 

[Xeno the Doomguy]

As of now. I just hope we get information on the mascot legendary pokemon and the starter pokemon, I hope the fire starter is a tiger.
