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?

Radiating July 28th, 2017 10:16 PM

I'm just hoping we can get any corocoro leaks or footage for USUM. The news has been very dry unfortunately.

pkmin3033 July 28th, 2017 10:22 PM

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.

Alexander18 July 29th, 2017 12:43 AM

I do want news this month. After july, it is about time for news. Just give us something please.

Hikamaru July 29th, 2017 1:31 AM

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.

Famon July 29th, 2017 5:16 AM

Well , I expect USUM news before August 10.

clbgolden July 29th, 2017 6:55 AM

I'm guessing we'll get info during Worlds, at the latest.

When is that?

Lunar July 29th, 2017 9:45 AM

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.

Leafsfan July 29th, 2017 10:27 AM

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.

August 18th-20th, I believe.

Ty. I really hope we get something earlier

Alexander18 July 29th, 2017 12:00 PM

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.

Phyrrhic July 29th, 2017 1:37 PM

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.

Im with u on that..
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.

I wouldn't trust Pokenchi after all the failed deliveries during S/M's pre-release, but I think leaving it until midway through the month would be a good time for a trailer. The World Championships if I recall did drop a trailer around its time during S/M pre-release, the one that revealed Turtonator if I remember.

While I agree that nothing will come out of it, please forgive me for being a stickler about this particular issue because it still bugs me. Pokenchi didn't "fail" at anything. They didn't promise anything, at all. What happened was the entire fanbase set their expectations up way too high despite the fact that they were warned and corrected by Serebii and other sites. The fans completely ignored and disregarded the warnings, so I honestly don't feel any sympathy for their butt-hurt.

I can totally understand that it was a case of setting expectations too high, and let's admit it that ever since those disappointments I have decided to never set my hype level that high again. That's because I was also butthurt when nothing came out.

Seconding this. I'm guessing the drought for any US/UM news since the mini-teaser was a factor contributing into this.

Alexander18 July 30th, 2017 12:23 PM

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.

pkmin3033 July 30th, 2017 12:33 PM

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!

EC July 30th, 2017 12:46 PM

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.

Desert Stream~ July 30th, 2017 3:24 PM

1 trailer, something small in corocoro, something small in worlds, and then one other small thing another time is what I'm expecting.

w1f1pa55w0rd July 30th, 2017 5:06 PM

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.
