August predictions
So, we had a thread to discuss possible news for US/UM in July 2017, but with the month coming to an end it's fair to say it's all but confirmed to be a drought month, so I figured time for a new thread for the next month.
Like the last thread, what news are you hoping to see get covered in August? What do you think will be shown in the next issue of CoroCoro or any trailers that drop? Are you hoping that August will finally be the start of the US/UM news coverage? |
I'm just hoping we can get any corocoro leaks or footage for USUM. The news has been very dry unfortunately.
|
But it's still July
All I expect from August is at least ONE trailer. I really don't care what is in it. I doubt it'll be as extensive as what the rumours say even if it's released on the same day - and I hope it isn't the same because some of those ideas in it were awful - but just something would be nice. |
I do want news this month. After july, it is about time for news. Just give us something please.
|
My likely guess as to when in August for US/UM news would probably be the second week of the month, since I think the first week being a break should allow for enough time for hype to build up.
I'm guessing a new trailer first, and then CoroCoro. |
Well , I expect USUM news before August 10.
|
I'm guessing we'll get info during Worlds, at the latest.

I don't think we'll get too much news this month, but I definitely think we'll get something decent. Maybe a cool trailer or something.
|
I think the reason we're not seeing anything is because there's not going to be a whole ton to see. Aside from a couple new Alola forms and possibly some new native Pokemon, the region and all the other Pokemon will stay the same. The only thing they would be able to make a trailer on would be story-related things, and they can't ruin that too much.

Yeah. The reason is lack of news this time is that this is no brand new pokemon to introduce. SM news happen more often because they were the first games of the gen with entirely new pokemon. Obviously USUM will not have new pokemon so the amount of news would not occur as much.
|
I'm happy to wait for news. The Sun and Moon announcement was 9 months before release, and I wasn't happy about being fed info in little drops.
That being said, if a November release in on the books, now would seem to be the time for news. I hope to see info on the league system, as I'm hoping that gyms make a return. |

I hope that will be actually news to share .. |
I just realized that Worlds is in August as well, so I'm starting to doubt my previous thought about a trailer in the beginning of August. They may actually hold off until Worlds happens, maybe. Or we could still get a trailer in the beginning of August and get a new form revealed at Worlds.
Interesting tidbit, but Shigeru Ohmori is set to appear on Pokenchi next week. That doesn't mean anything since Pokenchi has been a deadweight when it comes to news, but IIRC the last time he appeared on that show was within a few days after a new SM trailer was released last year... it was either him or Masuda, I can't remember. Getting to the point, there was nothing new shown on Pokenchi but just a recap of news that had already broken. With that said, I think there's still a possibility of a trailer showing up at the beginning of August despite Worlds taking place two weeks afterwards. |

Someone made a video on youtube that asks if GF is punishing us with no news due to illegal leaks, people getting games early and showing it before release date and of course the data mining of SM demo.
I don't know if GF is punishing us but the fans probably gave them plenty of reasons to with the above mentions i made. |
I don't believe GF would withold news in response to past events. No demo and maybe release date pushbacks, I could give some credit to. But there is no harm whatsoever in releasing trailers or articles; not doing so begins to be a detriment to them at a certain point as interest in the games dips, and if leaking things internally is a risky business that has probably cost more than one person their job in the past.
I do delight in how people interpret silence in this fashion, though. Show some optimism, people! |
Imagine if, in response to the people who said they revealed too much during the run up to Sun & Moon, they reveal absolutely nothing about Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon in the run up to them.
|
1 trailer, something small in corocoro, something small in worlds, and then one other small thing another time is what I'm expecting.
|
i kind of agree with alxander 18. When they datamined the oras demo and the games, they shouldn't have relaesed a demo, or they atleast should have deleted all important actual game data. This may be a way of saying that they are disappointed. i hav i simple question: what the heck is Worlds? are you talking about the pokemon competitive tournaments?
Because that would be a good time to showcase some stuff. like they did in china. |
