Discuss the direct information here for the time being while other threads are set up!

 

[Sirenita55]

I can't wait! My first reaction after watching this was "ok, I'll be buying Moon!" :D That chronology of the games was like seeing my life panning before my eyes.

 

[Legendary Silke]

Just noticed that the game will be now available in Simplified and Traditional Chinese for the first time ever. Onward to the Pokémon world domination!

Though it does seem a bit depressing that even people can get salty over Sun and Moon... well, judging from another forum's reaction thread, that is.

Either way, well, I'm optimistic!

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

Well after watching the confirmation of these two games, one one thing comes to mind. They are Gen VII of Pokemon. Course it is still to early to tell which version I will be getting.

 

[Captain Oshawott]

I'm pretty hype, though a bit of a gameplay trailer might've been nice. I'll probably get Sun, but it's a bit too early to say for certain.

I know one thing for certain, I'm catching a Pikachu on Pokemon Blue tomorrow and sending it through PokeBank to Sun. It's gonna be my Raichu :P

Yeah, me too..hoping to see a new generation of Pokemon come to light !!
...and definitelt not this..

Judging from the concept art, it appears that our protagonist is going to look more like Red, but I wonder if the female protagonist will resemble Green/Leaf. I'll be waiting for GameXplain to do an analysis video on the trailer. With very little info about Sun & Moon, we may have to wait for next month's CoroCoro to get any info we desire.

 

[Rukario]

Well now.. this will be interesting, won't it?

I just saw the concept art too....and guess what there seems to be a portable pokecenter there...here. have a look ->

5 minutes before the Pokemon Direct started, I grabbed my Flareon plush, I was hugging hard of pure excitement, my heart pounding fast.

As soon as I heard the confirmation of the games name (Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon) my mouth made a large smile from ear to ear! After seeing that it will be released this year, I hugged my Flareon plush even harder, smile harder and jumped in my room for a few minutes.

The short brief glance of the concept art looks awesome.
(it will be time for me to start breeding my fox team once more)

That girl standing next to him looks a lot like Serena a well and could possibly be the female Player Character. Maybe we'll be following an older version of the RGBY/FRLG player character exploring the region if you choose to play as a guy and an older version of Serena if you choose to play as a girl?

 

[Retro Bug]

At least this was an easy summary to make considering we know next to nothing...

Still, we're getting a new game this year so I can't complain and we'll have more information soon enough.

Huh, I didn't notice this before. This would really be neat if this were to happen.

Even if there isn't that much info, which I already expected, I'm pretty happy that we got an announcement of the new games! Very interested when more stuff will be revealed throughout the upcoming few months.

I doubt it, that girl in the concept art looks like an NPC trainer.

 

[Fannie]

Stunfisk probably welcomes death. I'd love to see a new generation too. There weren't many new additions in X/Y.

 

[~Platina's Jason~]

I doubt it, that girl in the concept art looks like an NPC trainer.

I guess? That still leaves the question of who the female Player Character is if it does turn out that the male Player Character is the one from RGBY/FRLG only older. I guess it could be the FRLG Player Character as well though that remains to be seen.

 

[GreninjAsh]

So excited about Gen 7!!! I was so shocked too. And i'm also a bit sad that it doesn't look like Gen 6 will get the conclusion it deserves any time soon.... maybe next year :)

 

[Telemetius]

Wow, finally, that also means NEW MEGAS!
