  • Wow, good thing my rehearsal is done long before I checked this Direct. I hope Game Freak and the others will have some surprises for us in this Pokémon Direct :)

    What an anticlimactic absolute load of fucking crap! An announcement without a single trailer or even a HINT at what form these next games are going to take. I am beyond disappointed. What an absolute waste of time. They could have AT LEAST given us SOMETHING to speculate over, instead of a pointless montage of their godawful adverts down through the years.

  • So it's Sun and Moon, then? I'm excited about it, and even more because I can play it in Chinese if I wanted to :) I hope it will be a good series of games.

  • So, Pokemon Sun & Moon are real... and the 1st Gen digital re-releases will have Pokemon Bank compatibility too. Still, it's interesting that Sun & Moon will be on the 3DS, like how the DS had both 4th and 5th Gen... so this means 3DS has both 6th and 7th (?) Gen, so noticeable pattern there.

    The addition of Chinese (both Cantonese and Mandarin) as a language option is great as well, although like Meloetta said I was hoping for more out of this announcement than just a 20th anniversary montage.

  • Pokémon Sun and Moon are legit, and yet we still don't have information as to whether or not it's Gen 6.5 or Gen 7. And oh snap, we can transfer Pokémon from the VC version of R/B/Y onto our PokeBanks? Does this mean their gender, natures, abilities, and IVs will be at random?

  • he said, "on the previous games (XY, ORAS) we can only transfer at least from gameboy advance to the 3ds yet we can't do it on the gameboy color. but through the virtual game (red, blue, green, and yellow (pikachu)), you can transfer your pokemon on that games to your pokemon sun/noon through pokebank.
    he said nothing about the gender or stuffs.

    I wonder if the gen 1 pokemon will only be able to be transferred to Pokemon Sun & Moon (and not XY and ORAS) because the way they worded it made it sound that way.

    If that's the case it could imply that Pokemon Bank will keep them intact (so that you'll be able to put them back in the gen 1 & 2 games) and it'll be the 7th gen games which add the extra information to them when they're transferred over.

    Still, it makes me even more interested in making up a team now that I know I'll be able to transfer it forward. Imagine that, all the way from the 1st gen to the 7th gen!

    That's how it was when Gen 1 Pokemon were transferred to Gen 2. It was always a surprise to learn a Pokemon's gender, and even that they were holding an item. I'd imagine that's how it would be this time around, albeit on a much larger scale.
