New building in Hau'oli City?

This building was leaked in a private trailer from the official Japanese Pokemon YouTube channel, and it appears to take the place of the empty construction lot that was present in Hau'oli City in the original games. What do you think this could be?

WingsofBliss August 18th, 2017 2:52 AM

Oh my... it's happening.

I wanna say something like Pokestar Studios, but I can't even remember what those buildings look like. It don't look like a Gym, so I wonder what it could be.

Alexander18 August 18th, 2017 2:59 AM

I am calling fake. I don't believe in this for a second. Anyone could of made that.

Hikamaru August 18th, 2017 3:12 AM

It seems to look legit, considering it is from the official Japanese Pokemon YouTube channel. There's also the fact it now takes up an empty space that was there in S/M, so maybe we are going down a B2/W2-esque route after all.

The official Japanese Pokemon channel's latest video seems to be about this new building, but the fact that it wasn't set to private means that it was able to be leaked everywhere. It's apparent that it'll be publicly released tonight, given that both Worlds starts, and they'll reveal info about it like they usually do (like with Crabrawler last year), and Game Informer did mention that a new feature for US/UM will be mentioned today. Perhaps the two events are connected somehow.

I think you're definitely right, considering it is World Championships weekend and it's usually been typical of a new trailer to drop around that time. I have a feeling this new facility may be what will be covered.

janejane6178 August 18th, 2017 3:50 AM

This facility doesnt seem to be so intruiging for me. Seems something like Pokemon studios etc.. I was hoping for the gyms to replace the free spots but oh well=[

blue August 18th, 2017 4:25 AM

Oh wow, this is interesting! I presume this is in the location that was previously empty in SM, and considering it doesn't look anything like a Gym I'm guessing it could be some sort of Festival/Studio type of thing.


Edit: It looks like it could be a photography building for the Poké Finder

Somewhere_ August 18th, 2017 5:12 AM

I was hoping those spots would be filled with gyms, but at least the new building looks interesting. There is a sign out in the front of it, so maybe its selling something?

HeroLinik August 18th, 2017 5:17 AM



The trailer featuring the mystery building has been released. No details have been provided about the building, but there are some certain new things to watch out for, like that mysterious rift above Poni Island and Lycanroc-Dusk (as a Rockruff) being able to walk alongside us. Thoughts?

Lunar August 18th, 2017 6:06 AM

It'll be really interesting to see what this building ends up being, and if the rest of those empty spaces around Alola get the same thing.

Hikamaru August 18th, 2017 9:27 AM

Apparently it's been revealed that the new building is for a new feature called the Alola Photo Club. It seems to function like PR Videos in X/Y, but here you take a photo of your trainer and one of your Pokemon and you can also decorate it, similar to the PR Videos.

Sabrewulf238 August 18th, 2017 10:48 AM

It's not just that city though, those other blank spaces appear to have been filled in according to the new map. (like in Konikoni and Malie city, but not Seafolk village for some reason)

It seems like it would be really lame if they were just dedicated to a photo feature though...

blue August 18th, 2017 11:03 AM

I really don't see the need to fill every space with the same building, then again it wouldn't surprise me if they did this.

Alexander18 August 18th, 2017 11:59 AM

I don't see the point of this Alola Photo Club. What can i possibly achieve from that? Nothing that is what.

I totally agree with u here..

Desert Stream~ August 18th, 2017 3:29 PM

It's not about achieving anything, it's about having fun.

Preeetttyy sure that's Chinese, by the way. No Hiragana or Katakana that I see, and there aren't too many Japanese sentences without it. Also the top left has 中国 which means "China" (at least in Japanese it does? It's a bit confusing). Aaand the Lycanroc video screenshot doesn't match how it's spelled in Japanese: ルガルガン (たそがれのすがた), but it matches Chinese: 鬃岩狼人 (黃昏的樣子). So technically not from the OG source.

I wonder what the building will offer that the feature doesn't. But hmmm now that I think about it. Ryuki calls himself a star. Maybe he's famous in the Photo Club? Maybe the Vermillion Gym thing we saw was a set, and the building has sets you can take photos on? Sort of doubt it... but I betcha Ryuki is maybe the character used to promote this feature.

Somewhere_ August 18th, 2017 6:16 PM

In all fairness, many people complained that the photo feature in SM was too limited.

Alexander18 August 18th, 2017 7:05 PM

Nothing fun about taking photos. No benefits and no rewards. What a waste this is.

Poke Finder was a very underutilized feature so I can see why people gave it backlash. But I wouldn't think of that as a reason to suddenly be not liking this new Photo Club.

I think people dont like the new photo club because they were expecting something cooler. I think the photo club's purpose is to make up for what the poke finder lacked.

I think the bad reactions may be just a case of being too overhyped.

thedestinedblade August 18th, 2017 8:25 PM

Yeah, after a year of speculating all the cool things the empty plots of land would be, I can share in the disappointment. Cool for the people that like it, but I never bothered with contests, musicals, or pr videos so I doubt I'll invest any time in this.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 18th, 2017 8:42 PM

I actually like that they added more photo related stuff. I remember enjoying it early on in the game, but eventually forgot about it.
