Nah February 25th, 2016 6:11 AM

Are those logos official ones made by Game Freak/Nintendo/The Pokemon Company or? Like where'd you get the image?

pkmin3033 February 25th, 2016 6:11 AM

Please be true please be true please be true

Gen VII announcement tomorrow would be so, SO much better than Pokemon Z. I really hope these get confirmation and aren't just elaborate hoaxes. Honestly, the naming sense makes me think that they are, but who knows? But Nintendo have always been good at keeping stuff under wraps, so this is a little suspicious...if not for the Direct scheduled for tomorrow which will almost certainly be a major announcement.

FFS.

jombii February 25th, 2016 6:17 AM

Mega Solrock and Mega Lunatone as mascots confirmed.

Kidding aside, I am perfectly hyped for this announcement tomorrow. Really really hyped and excited.

Sun February 25th, 2016 6:17 AM

Thank you people, thank you! I know this is my moment!

Okay, okay, stop glaring at me like that. Just kidding. :P Seriously I'm not buying the authenticity of this so called leaks, though I'd love to see it. :D A Fire/Psychic and a Dark/Fairy as our legendary mascots would be cool, tbh. (:

blue February 25th, 2016 6:23 AM

As cool as this sounds, it's probably fake. Just look at how close this has come up to the upcoming pokemon Direct. Pretty sure they will announce a new game this Friday, but Nintendo are good at keeping their plans under wraps until the last moment.

pkmin3033 February 25th, 2016 6:51 AM

Considering these were registered in Europe first, I really hope if these are legit that we get them first. It'd make a lovely change, considering we had to wait an entire additional week for ORAS (plus three months for Super Mystery Dungeon) for no adequately explored reason.

For one thing Europe has gotten a lot better overall with game releases. I remember waiting for the first Animal Crossing to come here back in the day...

Secondly if it's the first 7th gen games then I would want it to be a simultaneous worldwide release. I don't care about getting it before anyone else. I feel like those days should stay in the past if possible.

Lastly I know I shouldn't have spoiled myself if this is true but I couldn't help myself. It's not like I won't still be uber hyped if we get a trailer and starter reveals anyway. I mean let's face it, a bunch of logos can only do so much.

Europe is still pretty screwed up with release dates overall, actually. It's very, VERY rare for us to get something ahead of the US by anything longer than a week. It has happened with some titles, but then we usually wind up waiting months longer for others, so...yeah. I remember waiting up to half a year or more too, but that doesn't excuse the waiting times now. Just because it could be worse doesn't mean it shouldn't be better.

I'd love for simultaneous release dates to be a thing with Nintendo, but the truth is that they rarely are. If it comes down to it, I don't want to wait. Hopefully it won't, but I won't hold my breath.

KorpiklaaniVodka February 25th, 2016 7:08 AM

it has to be fake

Did some digging, the names/logos were registered BY Nintendo using their representative. Same way all their trademarks have been.

pkmin3033 February 25th, 2016 7:34 AM

This time tomorrow some of us are going to look really silly for falling for or not believing this [delete as appropriate] I guess.

At the moment, I'm on the fence. I WANT to believe they'd do this over Pokemon Z, but I just can't believe that naming sense, or the convenient timing of the leak. How covenient is too convenient? This is almost as bad as Square Enix with their FFVII Remake bait-and-switch-and-bait-and-switch. But look at how THAT turned out...

...I'm done until tomorrow. I'll reserve my excitement and/or indignation for after the direct.

Sirfetch’d February 25th, 2016 7:35 AM

I am so excited and really hope these are legit. Mega Lunatone and Solrock possibly!!!

I really liked Kalos and would like to see more of it but I can't lie, a new game is more exciting. I always love seeing new starters revealed, new box legends, etc. :3

Savashy February 25th, 2016 8:09 AM

i want pokemon z m8

Keiran February 25th, 2016 8:17 AM

My guess is that those are TCG expansions since that is the TCG font.

Hikamaru February 25th, 2016 8:26 AM

I have a feeling this will be 7th Generation and not a new Kalos game.

Sabrewulf238 February 25th, 2016 8:34 AM

The only thing that makes me think it could be a continuation of the 6th gen is if these games are based in the region Kalos went to war with. So they don't want the names to be similar since the two sets of games would be opposed to each other.

Otherwise I think it's more than likely 7th gen...

Sopheria February 25th, 2016 8:35 AM

This may not be definite confirmation of anything, but it's still interesting to look at:

The patent for X and Y was filed on April 10th, 2013, and then the games were released roughly 6 months later.



The patent for OR/AS was filed on June 20, 2014, and then the games were released 5 months later.



If this pattern is anything to go by, then we'd expect to see the games later this year, and an announcement soon. But patterns don't always hold up so I don't want to get my hopes up on this too much.

Sabrewulf238 February 25th, 2016 8:46 AM

I saw somebody making the suggestion that they might plan to do a Johto again and have us going to Kalos post-game to tie up left over plot threads.

Would be pretty exciting if true, would tie up nicely with the train station in Couriway Town too.

Well you beat me to posting this, but yeah, I'm pretty sure this is a game, I'm excited! The game should be interesting!

I also expect it to connect to Kalos and Hoenn somehow, because that would make sense with what they have left over in both games. I also think it will see be gen 6(.5) without it being a typical 3rd game.

Pinkie-Dawn February 25th, 2016 9:22 AM

As I said back in the third version speculation thread, whether this is real or fake, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon would clearly debunk the Pokemon Rainbow rumor, because it the codename consisted of only one version, and this one comes in two versions. And thank goodness, because the same rumor also mentioned an NX port of Zelda U, which is defintely not happening. Of course, I'm leaning this leak as a fake, because if this is Gen 7, then this would render the Zygarde formes completely pointless. I'm still convinced that we're getting a Gen 6.5 as another of Game Freak's attempt of breaking the mold with third version like they did with formes in Platinum and direct sequels to BW (not to mention a legit reason as to why we had only 72 new Pokemon in XY). However, if this turned out to be true, then it would still fit the usual 3-4 life cycle of a Pokemon Gen, but it would also make Gen 6 the first gen without a third version.

Drewko February 25th, 2016 9:25 AM

I hate people in times like this one, when they try to tie two loose ends, not thinking logicaly.
It's only Trademark leak, so we have no official info about new gen. Considering how it can be very early trademark filling, tommorow they will not give info about Sun/Moon, just Z.

Palamon February 25th, 2016 9:35 AM

Hopefully this is legit. ...But remember Pokemon Brown and Amethyst being trademarked and nothing coming of that? Yeah.

Drewko February 25th, 2016 9:36 AM

I will calmly wait, but from what i see Ninlendo Of America is making too much trolling around this "leak"...
Mark my words - it can all be fake.

Pinkie-Dawn February 25th, 2016 9:44 AM

May I also remind you guys in regards to Sopheria's post is that both XY and ORAS were trademarked after they were officially announced (XY in January 2013, and ORAS in May 2014), so the fact that Sun and Moon were trademarked before an official announcement could indicate this as fake.

Bellsprout February 25th, 2016 9:51 AM

obvs we don't have much information and i usually assume anything like this is fake buttttttttttttt

it would be awesome if it is a new gen and the theme is feminine (moon) and masculine (sun) pokemon.

ZoroStar February 25th, 2016 9:59 AM

One thing at a time, guys.
We still have Gen 6 sequels to focus on before we can start generating hype about something that might not even be in the slightest bit real.

Gen 7's great and all, but it's way too soon imho.

Pokemon generations tend to last 3-4 years, and this year will be 3 years since XY came out.

Taemin February 25th, 2016 10:06 AM

I'm very surprised and also very excited that they're doing this over Z. Z was hyped so long ago now that it's actually kinda worn off, and Sun and Moon seem like more exciting concepts, IMO.

I'm not so sure we can go by GameFreak's previous release patterns as an indication of whether or not we'll get 7th gen this year, since at this point the usual pattern's already been broken due to there not having been a main series release in 2015--by the usual trend, we would have gotten "Z" in 2015, and we'd be right on schedule to get 7th gen this year. But since there wasn't a main series release last year, it's still not totally clear what the contigency from the broken pattern will be: will they skip "Z" and go straight to 7th gen, or was "Z" just "delayed"?

At this point I'd be more inclined to say that this will be a 6th gen game, of sorts. There's a lot of in-game loose ends in 6th gen that still have yet to be resolved: e.g. Zygarde's other two signature moves, Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves, being in X&Y's code; AZ's Floette and its signature move Light of Ruin not yet having been released; no Volcanion distribution despite its data being present X&Y and OR/AS, etc.

Hikamaru February 25th, 2016 10:42 AM

Ah yes, they really broke the mold with that gap caused in 2015... but hopefully the Direct will help clarify things.

There was no mainline Pokemon game in 2003 during Gen 3 (R/S released in 2002) and no mainline Pokemon game in 2007 during Gen 4 (D/P released in 2006), so yes, the 3-4 year pattern still applies.

VisualJae February 25th, 2016 10:51 AM

Supposedly this was already leaked in a closed Korean group many months ago, but who knows what was going on back then.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJonTzHUMAAk_vJ.jpg

Zeturic February 25th, 2016 10:57 AM

Why are the games always red and blue? Gen I had Red and Blue, Gen III had Ruby and Sapphire. Then, Gen IV had Diamond (blue) and Pearl (pink/red), and Gen VI had X (blue) and Y (red). And now, Sun and Moon are also red (well, reddish orange) and blue.

Only Gen II and V didn't have their main paired versions colored red and blue. And, even then, Gen II had Crystal, which is blue, and the Gen V sequels had boxart featuring Black and Blue (for Black 2) or White and Red (for White 2).

Z25 February 25th, 2016 11:03 AM

For anyone who thinks Sun and Moon wan't happen.

When Nintendo trademarks pokemon titles there are two kinds.

Ones that are just names, like delta Emerald.

and Others that have actual logos with their names.

The ones that display logos like Sun and Moon, have come true.


Just food for thought there.

illumine February 25th, 2016 11:04 AM

After X and Y, Sun and Moon would come off as some pretty steampunk, sci-fi kind of stuff. Seriously, though, it would be amusing if this was just Gen. II remakes and the starters were Gastly, Pidgey and Hoothoot. Someone should do this.

For a Romeo and Juliet tie-in, all of the sixth gen Pokémon could be in Moon.

Universe February 25th, 2016 11:07 AM

the new Pokemon games look great.

(first thing i thought of when i saw the announcement)

Sirfetch’d February 25th, 2016 11:16 AM

There is always potential that this is still part of gen 6 as Sopheria said. I don't feel like we closed the door on Kalos and with such a small amount of Pokemon, there is always a chance this is Kalos part two or at least some way loose sequels to the XY games. Regardless, I think everything will be cleared up tomorrow for us. Personally, I'd be happy if this was the start of a new generation because new starters hype me, as I have already said, but I am going to be pleased with whatever these turn out to be. It's been a very long 3 years :(

Crin February 25th, 2016 11:18 AM

As excited as I would be for these leaks to be true, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dissapointed that Pokemon Z isn't happening. Kalos has so much potential as a region. I think a third game would compliment and improve on so many aspects of X and Y

Z25 February 25th, 2016 11:19 AM

Yup it's real:

pkmin3033 February 25th, 2016 11:22 AM

I don't think announcements of a Gen VI continuation and Gen VII titles are necessarily mutually exclusive things - we could get BOTH announced in the direct tomorrow, with one just coming earlier than the other...hell, Sun and Moon announcements might just be teasers for next year, with Pokemon Z or whatever this year. Just because we've not seen any trademarks doesn't mean it may not happen.

...sure, it's unlikely, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Got a link to these domains?

And if you click the link it seems the site is set up, and awaiting activation.

But as you said, it's probably real.

Here's a giveaway. Look where this goes as of right now:

www.pokemonsunmoon.co

Meanwhile, www.pokemonsunmoon.com (adding the m as most conventional URLs) winds up at a HostGator page. So we know Nintendo uses HostGator.

EDIT: www.pokemonsunmoon.ca also redirects to the US page. I presume they covered all of them, or at least the main ones,

S/G/C were a small generation too. The difference was that they had two maps. But the first map alone was small and it's not a big generation.
Maybe Kalos is a small generation too.
But hey, if 6.5 or 7 happen, I won't be mad ;)
I would like if it's only a new game too, with the "same old" Pokemon.

blue February 25th, 2016 11:59 AM

I think the logos add legitimacy, usually the names are just trademarked without any sort of logo. Initially I was convinced this was fake, but looking at it now I'd say these have a good shot of being revealed tomorrow.

Still no. It's not far-fetched for numerous franchises to take inspiration from the same thing, which in this case is Dragonball and Pokémon taking inspiration from the moon.

I really hope they introduce mega forms for Lunatone / Solrock! Umbreon / Espeon! Cresselia / Darkrai! I would like to see new evolutions / mega forms for Pokemon such as Marowak, Arcanine, Ninetales, Rapidash, and Johto Starters!

I was really down and depressed but this news got me happy again lol. Im a Pokemon fan to the core. Excited to get one of those games if they come out.

Interesting. One thing to note is that the unused activated sites, lead to Nintendo.com but pokemon sun and moon's leads to pokemon.com. So it's probably happening.

I believe( from what I've read) XY, and ORAS both had their logos with their trademarks.

EDIT: Let me see if I can find out from Serebii.

Also the games are probably coming tomorrow:

They suspended the twitter account( NintlendoOfAmerica) that first posting the trademark info.

The main games are ones that get actual logos I believe.

Ah I see so I was half right.

XY had an image, ORAS did not.

Which still helps prove this isn't some one off trade mark.

rainbow February 25th, 2016 1:28 PM

Well, I'm getting all excited. The timing of this is way too right to me for it to be fake. With #Pokemon20 this weekend and the direct tomorrow, I'll be damned if this isn't true. We'll have to see, of course, but if it is a hoax, then it's either conveniently timed or someone has been waiting for the perfect time (with the announcement of the direct). Either way, this is - at least for me - just building more hype for this whole year, and even if Sun and Moon aren't real, I'm still excited for the direct to see what we've got in store this year.


I'M SO EXCITED OMGGGGGGGGGGG!!!

Master of Memes February 25th, 2016 1:33 PM

Now I would say thatthis is the new Grey, but SEVERAL Websites have been trademarked. And we have that really nice logo. This might be history repeating itself *can I give a HGSS?*. This isn't exactly HGSS however. Technology has advanced. It is easier to not only stop leaks but cause them. Anyways, the Wii U is a flop and this will have to be on the 3ds if real

Not necessarily. Think how many more Wii U sales this would cause if it was on the Wii U. The Wii U is no longer a total disaster; Splatoon and Smash worked wonders for the thing, supported by Mario Maker, but it is still nowhere near at the sales mark it should be after like 3.5 years on the market.

But... if there was a main series Pokémon game to coincide with the 20th anniversary, maybe with a special Wii U console too or something... How many millions of Pokémon fans who don't own a Wii U would flock to buy one? I know for a fact I'd get a Wii U just for this if I didn't already have one.


All speculation anyway. If they are real they'll more than likely be handheld. But it's nice to say what if, because hey: it would be cool.

That's why I ended it with it being unlikely. Still: I'm perfectly happy with the 3DS at the moment. What I really hope they don't do is make it N3DS exclusive. They probably won't, since that will cause them to lose profit but hey - you never know.

confirmed 100% official pokemon sun and moon versions out now ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

In all seriousness, this is interesting. They ask questions like that all the time so we may be reading too much into it but... it's all piling up to a very big coincidence...

I had an idea like this way back during Generation 3. Similar to how Team Magma and Team Aqua wanted to change the climate, my imaginary Team Lunar and Team Solar wanted to cause perpetual night and day respectively. I named the imaginary games Black and White. Those names eneded up being used in Gen 5, but not with the night/day dynamic I envisioned.

Dragon February 25th, 2016 5:27 PM

Definitely excited too as I'll be watching this during work. :3

Crin February 25th, 2016 5:31 PM

Skip class to watch this?



I think so ;)

TEXg715 February 25th, 2016 5:36 PM

Welp, thanks to you all... I'm now officially hyped and nothing good ever comes out of it. That's what I get for being curious...

Anyways, it might be fake, I mean a ton of people though Pokemon Gray would be a thing but we got B2W2, which wasn't such a bad trade-off I guess? I don't really know since those where the years where I didn't play pokemon actively.

Anyways, I think that if this is real, and I hope it is since those logos look amazing, it'll have an Episode Z. Like the delta episode, but a lot longer(I'm not the only one that found the Delta Episode too short, right?).

But I don't know... I want this to be real just because those logos look really cool... Also, there is that incredibly weird and out of place twit Junichi Masuda made earlier... At this point I'm just drawing straw. THOSE LOGOS LOOK SO DANG GOOD

ddrox13 February 25th, 2016 5:38 PM

Oh dear. A leak.

Heil Pokebeach, useless source for all things Pokemon (I used it a ton in my TCG days, but now...).
"While it’s remotely possible these could be placeholders, Junichi Masuda Tweeted a photo of the moon last week, mentioning that it was out the same time as the sun. In light of these official trademark filings, this seems to be more than a coincidence."

Of course, this is the same Pokebeach that produced this false leak 2 days ago http://www.pokebeach.com/2016/02/supposed-insider-information-for-next-pokemon-games (It's a good laugh, I'd read it), so whatever.

EDIT: Or Nintendo could be pulling some huge and elaborate ruse and they meant for us to find this leak. *suspicious music plays*.

Smiffy01 February 25th, 2016 6:00 PM

I love the sound of Pokemon Sun and Moon, and I am really hyped for the Nintendo Direct announcement later today, only issue being is I have work at 4PM and the direct announcement starts at 3PM UK time, Imma probably gunna end up watching it on my phone or something, if I miss it I will be deeply frustrated. I just hope its worth watching :D

You do realize that pokebeach made that as a joke, to tell people not to believe a leak just because it's a leak right?

Because that's literally what the rainbow and gen 6.5 list that got so much attention was gaining attention because of. No real evidence for either, but they gained massive popularity. Pokebeach who get actual rumors( sometimes real ones, like XY) wanted to teach people to only believe in something if it had proof.

To many people took this seriously....

NO.

they don't file trade marks for the TCG( As Far as I Know) let alone ones with logos. It's for a game.

Also the tcg names are never this simple. Just look at the new ones:

Ancient Legends, Roaring Skies, Break( this is simple in name but not a common one), primal clash, furious fists, etc.

Sun and Moon is not one at all, so don't worry!

Desert Stream~ February 25th, 2016 6:20 PM

Where can I see the direct footage? eh, i'll just see if its official here later.

Desert Stream~ February 25th, 2016 6:26 PM

No but tommorow. I'll probably be at school.

Cerberus87 February 25th, 2016 6:30 PM

It will be the second half of 6th gen! That's why so few new Pokémon in XY. And that's why the tourist in XY said he came from a region other than the current ones.

By "second half of 6th gen" I mean this game will not be in Kalos but will be part of 6th gen, and maybe we even get a further remake of either Kanto or Sinnoh next year. I'm really excited!

Z25 February 25th, 2016 6:43 PM

It could be like Gold and silver but be gen 6.5

Follows the same suit of it, being a sequel with no pokemon, but wouldn't not be counted as a new gen.

Kitrigar February 25th, 2016 7:06 PM

Sweet! The second half of 6th gen means that there will be less Pokemon for me to remember! Haha.

So do you guys think this will be "space" themed and will bring a D/P/Pt remake? :D

Pinkie-Dawn February 25th, 2016 7:47 PM

Luckily I don't have class at 7 AM; however, I also have a test to study this Friday afternoon, and the hype for the Pokemon Sun and Moon announcement will prevent me from studying.

There will not be another remake in Generation VI.

In fact, no more are really even needed yet, since all Gen. IV games are for the DS. Meaning 3DS can play them. But I wouldn't be against a new Sinnoh. I think a new Kanto is more likely however. I actually called for it as the next remake, in fact.

Itcheeee February 25th, 2016 8:59 PM

Maybe Nintendo's way of being different is skipping "Z" and doing two new versions instead. I was kinda looking forward to one more stroll through Kalos though :P

Sheep February 25th, 2016 9:04 PM

oh my goshhhhh. Sun version is my spirit... video game..?? I am so excited for this! Excited (and exhausted) enough to take my first day off from this job tomorrow to see Direct through. Worth it.

MasterBallz February 25th, 2016 10:10 PM

The Alien type has been confirmed since the sun and moon are in space.

pkmin3033 February 25th, 2016 10:50 PM

Eight hours to go! I somehow need to find a way to distract myself for that period of time. Maybe I'll go back to bed and catch up on my sleep.

I'm sensing a lot of Sailor Moon references in my future regarding these games :3

poop face February 25th, 2016 11:18 PM

It has to be a sequel since we already had ORAS... which means in like a year we'll have another Gen ♥

If this is all legit I don't actually know which version I'll get. Maybe BOTH!

Charlie Brown February 26th, 2016 12:47 AM

I think the fact that they actually have logos is quite telling in itself but I guess we'll just have to wait and see - not much longer thankfully!

The Direct is on at 2am here so I'm going to download Blue at midnight and play it until 2am so I can be part of all the action hahaha

Winter February 26th, 2016 1:12 AM

If this is true, I'm utterly disappointed.

blue February 26th, 2016 1:25 AM

I'm excited to see what is revealed later today! If Pokemon Sun and Moon are announced then I'm super psyched for a space themed storyline. 8)

Oh wow I'm really going to have to stay up late tonight (yay for us sharing timezones)... but hopefully it'll be worth it.

OMG you're from Salisbury? I live in Totton, about 13 miles away. Small world.

Anyway, on topic, I really hope these are Gen 7. I'm bored with ORAS now, encountering the same few Pokemon over and over again. At least in X/Y there was loads of variety plus new Pokemon.
