Domains of websites were registered by Nintendo for the games!

i just want to point out that Nintendo has tons of website domains registered and names copyrighted so that alone isn't proof. see: Pokemon Gray.

but with the announcement tomorrow and all, it's probably true regardless.

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 some others:
PokemonBrown.com (not registered anymore)
PokemonOpal.com (registered)
PokemonTopaz.com (registered)
PokemonAmethyst.com (registered)
PokemonCrimson.com (not registered anymore)

pokemongray.com was also a domain "awaiting activation" four years ago. it doesn't exist anymore but that happened. :P

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,

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 :(

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.

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.

Just food for thought there.

Refresh my memory, please. Which games were those?

Similarly, pokemon-sunmoon.com also redirects to the official US site. I agree that they're covering all the bases.

Vegeta™ February 25th, 2016 12:12 PM

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.

As do Pokemon-Sun.com and Pokemon-Moon.com.

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.

? Of this thread? I didn't see anything but the rumble one.

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

Z25 February 25th, 2016 1:25 PM

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...

FreakyLocz14 February 25th, 2016 2:40 PM

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.

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

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*.
