July predictions!
Thought this might be fun.
July is here! With a new month comes the (fairly good) possibility of new US/UM information, meaning more/less speculation! So, what do you think we're getting this month? Character information? Info on the new Solgaleo/Lunala forms? A little more about how this will be an "alternate story" from S/M? New Alola forms? Maybe even a new trailer? Maybe nothing at all? Throw your predictions out there! |
I can't really predict as to what information we'll get, but I guess maybe the artwork of the new player character designs would be likely since that happened not too long after S/M news coverage officially began as well.
That said, a new trailer should be expected, with at least one new trailer dropping every month afterwards in the lead-up to release day. |
Anything is better than nothing. I wouldn't mind news would come.
|
Didn't we have a month's drought of news for SM after they were announced? I remember a very large gap.
I'd expect a page spread from CoroCoro promising more news in next month's issue - because of course - but I think they're more likely to continue focus on Marshadow and the other upcoming events they have at the moment...at most, maybe a teensy snippet about what is different which can be interpreted in a million more different ways, but nothing concrete that will please anyone hoping for news here, haha. Some more artwork would be nice, though. Even if there isn't much to go with that. I think August/September will be a better month for news, then in October we miiiight get a demo if we're lucky. Then someone will leak everything about a week before the official release again. |

Like you said, I do think the next CoroCoro issue should have some new info since we had nothing last issue, aside from artwork of the Ultra Solgaleo and Lunala. Expecting at least one trailer as well, since we know how much that tactic worked in the pre-release period for S/M. |

That said, I'd expect the frequency of news to drop rather than the coverage period to reflect the similarities between the games/the fact that we already know all the Alola Pokemon, unless they have some new Alolan forms etc. lined up. SM had more than one reveal per month I'm guessing, and CoroCoro isn't the only source of information for new Pokemon games. Maybe they'll just space things out a little more...in which case they could easily start this month and just reveal new info once or twice a month. |

I'm likely expecting the player characters' official art, and maybe an overview of the graphics and the slight change to Alola's environment. |
Quote:
Wouldn't the change to Alola's environment constitute a pretty major spoiler, though? Like...if they confirmed that those unfinished buildings were Gyms, even by accident by showing a screenshot. It'd also establish the nature of the games and when they take place. They'd have to be verrrrry careful with that. But it's possible! Knowing GF, those reveals would be intentional. Visually I'd expect them to use exactly the same base for SM too...although a nod to the New 3DS/2DS' enhanced capabilities would be nice. Given that they've introduced the N2DSXL as a cheaper price point, there is no reason they couldn't squeeze in some extra features or improved running times etc. for the New model...it's not splitting up the userbase if it still works on the older models, after all. That'd be nice. |

I would have thought that, if they were going to include Gyms in USUM, that'd be the first thing they'd want to show - a lot of people complained about the lack of Gyms in SM, so showing USUM with them would go a long way towards pulling some of them back in, maybe. Agh, marketing. I hate marketing. |

But I don't expect a Gym announcement if Gyms are thing, beyond perhaps saying that Gyms are a thing. |
Right now, it doesn't feel like we're getting anything, but that can easily change in a week or so. CoroCoro will leak around the 12th which could have some tidbits but I'm not expecting anything major. They could also announce upcoming trailers a week prior similarly to how they did when advertising Sun & Moon in the run up to the release.
If we do get something then I'd like more background on the story, some clarification when these games take place, and more information on the protagonists. |
I remember that during S/M's pre-release, new trailers usually came out close to when CoroCoro released. I know July has only just started, but we'll see if news about a trailer will get announced soon since we do need an overview of what to expect.
|
I wouldn't be surprised if we get nothing this month. Something like that is bound to happen.
|
If anything does happen Im agreeing with wanting to know about the "alternate story".
|
No idea what kind of information or in what format we'd be getting it in, but I just want something this month
don't leave us hanging Game Freak =( |
Can we get any new information from another source but CoroCoro?

August is usually the best bet for pokemon game news.

I really hope that in the ultra sun and ultra moon we can trade or battle with sun and moon

Sun and moon for me was boring, the alola forms were eh and I hated all the mechanics changes. Specially how they name something absolute zero but give it an immunity when nothing should be immune. Sigh...Anyway do people feel sun and moon was a testing ground and this is the real successor to x/y? I'm partially hoping they revert all nerfs they did from gen 6 to gen 7. And bring better end game and gyms...Or I'll stick to older gen
