Final games of a gen usually have good post game. USUM should follow that. Gen 7 deserves to end big.

I agree, if they're gonna move the Pokémon main series to a the next console, then they should make it go out with a bang and give us an amazing post-game.

Pokken Lucario August 6th, 2017 2:12 AM

Isn't worlds this month? if so i think they gonna reveal lyncanroc dawn form and put a trailer of both dusk and dawn.

Yes. There should also likely be an English trailer for Dusk Form Lycanroc sometime soon.

pkmin3033 August 6th, 2017 4:43 AM

I'm quite surprised we've not had an English announcement yet...perhaps Monday? I'm not sure if we even get announcements over the weekend.

I'm with you too. I bet the TPCi would wait for a new week to start first before the English trailer of Dusk Lycanroc should be revealed.

Foreigner55 August 6th, 2017 5:09 AM

OH my fudging God! All this for a new freaking lycanroc form (wich I will use. I was originally planning on having lycanroc in my moon party). That's all we get. Kind of annoying don't you think.

On the subject of third games: I like to think that the third game is usually the canon version as it combines the two other games into one (minus Crystal wich I don't think did that). In emerald we had both teams. Both legendaries. And a slightly new plot to connect the two. Same with platinum (minus both teams as there is only one). Platinum introduced my favorite Pokemon character: looker (who we need more insight on his backstory. They keep teasing us with more of his backstory. Especially in S/M). So third versions are awesome.

Ida13 August 6th, 2017 1:17 PM

There might be a morning Lycanroc, and it might be announced this month. I like Lycanroc, and another form would be good.

janejane6178 August 6th, 2017 1:47 PM

At this point I'm almost sure that they dont have any HUGE info to share with us

Unlikely. Ash's lycanroc is likely to evolve into dusk form making a dawn firm unlikely and just plain wierd. But you never know. Game freak loves to screw with us.

Like when the aether foundation was evil. I just started laughing my @&$ off when we were right. I'm just imagining how the conversation would go.

Lusamine: I was secretly evil the whole time!

Me: no crap Sherlock.

Alexander18 August 8th, 2017 11:24 AM

Corocoro came and we know a bit more of Lycanroc. Still nothing else on the games. What are the odds of Lycanroc news being the only news for this month?

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 8th, 2017 8:34 PM

I'm hoping that GF will have some news on August 21st to coincide with the total eclipse over the U.S. xD

I'm pretty sure it won't be the only new info, though I am still surprised Dusk Form hasn't gotten an English trailer yet. But since we only just started news coverage and the fact during most pre-release periods we tended to get a few pieces of news a month, I'm sure that we shouldn't give up on this month yet.

I don't think they'd put random news on a minor event like that. I'm expecting the next news to come around World Championships time.

Foreigner55 August 9th, 2017 7:18 AM

I think this game isn't going to be that big. Its the shortest wait time between Pokemon games I've ever seen. If gen 7 goes out with a bang it would be much preferable if they did gen 4 remakes (I liked what they did with gen 3 remakes personally) however: it's possible game freak has started a pattern here. No remakes (gen 5), remakes (gen 6), no remakes (gen 7), remakes (gen 8 hopefully)

I am glad we did not get sinnoh remakes. ORAS is on the 3DS so it makes no sense to have another remake on same handheld. Also i don't think the fans deserve sinnoh remake if they are gonna constantly complain about everything GF does. Getting USUM instead is the better choice that i am glad GF made.

Lol, it's not a minor event, at least not here. The media here is hyping it up. There's even ads revolving around it.

But you're probably right about them not doing anything for it. Though Worlds does end on the 20th which is the day before. So we'll likely get some info around that time either way :). Worlds starts on the 18th for those wondering.
Iirc, they usually announce something at the start.

Alexander18 August 9th, 2017 4:05 PM

I don't really trust or rely on Worlds. Feels a bit off having pokemon news there for me. I tend to pay attention to official trailers and sites.

We've gotten news at the start of Worlds in the past. At least starting with XY we did.

pokestar1993 August 9th, 2017 8:20 PM

In 2013 we got the reveal of Mega Kangaskhan, in 2014 we got Mega Slowbro, 2015 was when we got the trailer for the Wii U port of Pokkén Tournament and we got Crabrawler revealed in 2016. This is how it's been for the recent Worlds. There has been speculation for news on the 18th which would coincide with Worlds and there is going to be some more mystery merchandise that will be unveiled on the 31st.

Hikamaru August 9th, 2017 11:19 PM

As Pokestar said, we have had news dropping at World Championships events in past years, such as the Mega Evolutions for Kangaskhan, Audino and Slowbro, and last year had Crabrawler revealed. It's pretty certain that based on this pattern that we should be getting new info around then.

I'm not saying I hate the idea of USUM I'm just saying that I'm tired of sinnoh confirmed memes. Now that I think about it: game freak should skip sinnoh remakes altogether too mess with us. Straight on to gen 5 remakes. Nah I'm just kidding. Although that would make a great April fools prank.

We only just had that Lycanroc form getting revealed a week ago, so be patient. We'll be sure to get more news since the World Championships are soon and there's usually a piece of news to expect around that time.

Alexander18 August 12th, 2017 9:43 PM

Prediction: worlds shows nothing or repeated news of lycanroc form.

I'd rather it be an English Dusk Form trailer than nothing, especially considering Dusk Form has now already had its details shown on the official English US/UM website.

WingsofBliss August 13th, 2017 6:01 PM

Since the English site already has Dusk Lycanroc info, I'm wondering if we'll get something completely new at Worlds. I just don't really see them doing repeat info that's getting plenty of attention enough as it is, but I could be wrong.

I guess we'll just have to accept we won't get an English version of the Dusk Form trailer, unless if it's added onto the new info that the World Championships may reveal.

clbgolden August 17th, 2017 11:32 AM

Just a reminder that the Worlds Opening Ceromony is tomorrow, and probably the last chance for any more news this month.

Alexander18 August 17th, 2017 11:51 AM

I would not count on worlds having news. Even from past experiences i wouldn't count on it. I can just imagine getting nothing and we get stuck with just Dusk Lycanroc for this month.

What makes you so sure that we're not gonna get any news? This is all speculation. We're just hoping for news because there hasn't been much yet.

Anyways I'm not expecting to see an english dusk lycanroc trailer. They usually post their trailers to youtube, and pretty much everyone who's been to youtube has seen it already.

I don't know. Probably they want to keep up suspense until game release. I started expecting less news to avoid disappointment. Better that way for me.

If we don't get a new trailer then, maybe we'll have to wait for news in September.

firekid115 August 17th, 2017 5:47 PM

gameinformer mentioned in their reddit AMA earlier they would be putting out an article about a new feature for USUM tommorow.

I'm guessing it'll be the same thing that'll be revealed at worlds, but who knows. We could have two things revealed

Hopefully we get something new, even if it's just screenshots or something.
Edit: the fact they specifically stated it would be a feature makes me think it won't be related to lycanroc or anything like that.

Hikamaru August 17th, 2017 5:57 PM

New feature? At least that should be something worth talking about.

Alexander18 August 17th, 2017 6:00 PM

I wouldn't buy too much into that. Things have been known to be overhyped. I am not sure about this new feature.

Well, there was a rumour going around that Festival Plaza may be getting replaced. YouTubers have even been covering the rumour, such as Verlisify.

Alexander18 August 17th, 2017 7:49 PM

I don't think the festival plaza will get replace and i don't want it to. We can get a new variation of it next gen.

Why don't you want it to get replaced? The join avenue features are nice, but you could just as easy put those somewhere else, and something like the PSS is much more convenient. Your friends legit sometimes don't show up, like whats up with that O_o

I happen to think it is an alright feature. Plus PSS is gen 6 thing. The festival plaza is gen 7 thing.

I don't think the wifi connectivity is really considered the unique feature of each generation? I think, if anything, mega evolution was the unique feature (although I would like to see it come back)

w1f1pa55w0rd August 17th, 2017 10:26 PM

i kind of like the festival plaza on release, but then i found out it was so pissing off to use. it takes so long to go to, and though i agree with Alexander18 about the PSS being gen 6's thing, i would like a PSS LIKE thing, and the pokeamie features should be reintroduced, such as the berry picking minigame and stuff.

The PSS wasn't meant to go on to other generations. It existed purely for gen 6. So we are likely not gonna have festival plaza in gen 8 because it is for gen 7. We will get something new for gen 8.

Alright, but I still think the best move would be to bring it back. As for what the news will show, who knows?

We got 3 trailers today (if you count the gameinformer photo place thingy a trailer) which is pretty huge. It was much more then just a z move and a cloud. We got confirmation that the two characters are the new protagonists, What appears to be following pokemon, and a decent number of areas are completely changed up, and as I mentioned before, the photo club. Considering this is akin to the "third versions" which usually don't get many changes, this is pretty impressive.

Z move i like. Cloud i am not sure about. We are not getting following pokemon feature because that is just an overworld rockruff. Photo club looks pointless. I thought the main characters are the same as SM ones.

Anyway, i am not satisfied. News not huge to me.

Well, fine, that's your opinion. But not everything needs a purpose. Is the photo club a necessary feature? No, it's there to make the game more visually appealing. And I wouldn't be so sure it's just an overworld rockruff, the indication over it's head is similar to what you would see in HG/SS.

I seen the trailer. Most of the time you are by yourself. So that Rockruff is nothing to get excited about.
