So, the Nintendo live conference at E3 takes place tomorrow.
What do you expect from that when it comes to Pokemon? I think we'll most likely get Iwanko and Nekkoala's English names, see in-game footage of the new Zygarde's forms, and maybe a more detailed view of the starting town.
Pokémon? Nah, I'm too old for that... not.

Definitely more gameplay videos, that's for sure! Other than that, I hope to see more new Pokemon, as well as some revelation as to what that bracelet on both the protag's wrist is and what the function of it is, etc.
I'd love to know what the bracelets are for, but I think we'll learn about it a bit later. We didn't learn about Mega-Evolutions that fast when they were promoting XY, so...

As mentioned, we didn't learn Mega Evolution until some time after E3 ended (I believe it was August 2013 when that was revealed), so I probably expect us learning our bracelets and their purpose around a few months later. Anyways, onto E3 and I believe we'll be getting gameplay shown and maybe a couple of new Pokemon since it was the case I recall for XY, with some new Pokemon (and Fairy-type) getting revealed around E3 time.

Not to mention multiple new pokemon. I doubt we will see the new feature or whatever the new bracelet does. We didn't learn about that August.

Hoard Battles, Sky Battles, Triple Battles, Rotation Battles, Megas in ORAS and New pokemon is what we have seen in the last 2 gens at E3.


I am kinda hoping for Water Battles. Similar to sky battles, but with water and water types, or any pokemon that can swim.

Right. I feel like we won't get new Megas shown this time, they might hold off until August to show them off. Right now I see them focusing on new Pokemon.

I expect to get Quad Battles to follow the trend of Doubles in Gen III, and Triples in Gen V.

I am not sure they will go to quad battles yet. We need bigger screens. But as I said in previous battle thread, really hoping for some type of water or fish battle.

I think that going by what you said, we could be seeing a battle format get showcased as well as the obvious new Pokemon reveals. I didn't like Sky Battles so I can't see Underwater Battles happening unless if Dive were to return.

I don't really want Quad Battles. It'll cause huge lag if Triple Battles already proved to cause framerate drops for 6th Gen.

Well hopefully SM will handle Triples and Hoard Battles better. Perhaps they'll improve it enough to handle Quad battles.

If its the first gameplay footage then I can imagine them to show the first areas with a couple of battles perhaps with the rival. I wouldn't be surprised if they also shown a couple of new early Pokemon including that Bird Pokemon that was seen in the very first trailer.

7 hours until the livestream now... and we'll check back here and see which of our predictions were right.

My guess:

We will not get new pokemon. We will get a video that shows the region, 1 or 2 gym leaders, a few cities, and Mega Greninja for the end.
That would be extremely underwhelming and an extreme disappointment. They usually only reveal gym leaders in Corocoro. And I don't think there would be a point in showing Mega Greninja and only it. We already know it is there and the revealed Zygarde forms at a tournament. Not really an announcement. No new pokemon will possibly make a lot of people mad.

E3 is a huge event, having such little info would be the wrong thing to do. Especially with how much it costs to travel there and what not. There would literally be little point for Pokemon to even be at E3 for Sun and Moon.

As for what I want to see is this:

4 to 6 new pokemon not including ones we know.
New battle, when I am hoping for a water themed battle.
A few new looks at towns.
Maybe 2 or 3 new Megas. Possibly ones we may see in the anime soon that we have yet to see.
Confirmation of a 2nd Rival or if Lillie gets the 3rd starter.

This is mainly what I hope to see, given how XY had some new Pokemon revealed at E3 I have a feeling that new Pokemon reveals will be the most likely, and maybe an overview of the starting town and some early game stuff. Also, I hope the last one can be debunked at some point because it's been heavily debated for a few weeks now.

I guess it just depends on how long the actual segment runs for. If they show us 5-10 minutes of footage then we could certainly see quite a lot of information, at least from the start of the game. Ideally I'd like to see one of the Gym Leaders too, again though idk whether they would showcase that just yet?

It's Nintendo Treehouse, they're just going to show off some gameplay, right? Either way, it's the first official live gameplay we'll see, so we're bound to see and learn more new things, I'm excited! Not sure what at all to expect, but here's hoping there's a lot of good stuff!

I'm hoping to hear more in-game music for the first time, learning about more new and old Pokémon that will appear in the game, and possibly learn about new characters like the Alola Gym Leaders.

One world, now and forever - Best friends, loyal and true - One dream, put side by side - There's nothing we can't do
One hand, helping the other - Each heart, beating as one - We live, always together - Sharing the same bright sun
You and me, and Pokémon

Huh, so Masuda isn't the Director this time. Also it's confirmed that Alola's isolated from the other regions.
