Hi, I hope a general speculation thread can be made! This would be mostly based on each new bit of info released. With the start being concept art.
If so, then let's begin!
Ok here are my thoughts on Sun and Moon:
To start, I was slightly disappointed but I feel like we could see one tomorrow or at least learn a little more. Anyway it was still really nice, and the concept art showcased a lot of stuff I'd like to address:
So let's begin!
Pokemon Center:
Spoiler:
The pokemon centers have a pretty different design this time around! It seems like there is only 1 floor based on the inside pic, that is next to this. The design reminds me of the Contest Domes from emerald. Pokemarts are also back in them.
One thing I want to point out is the window and real world picture. These seem to provide evidence for inspiration, but the Japanese may need to be translated. Also the one thing not colored in, is that a pc? I was thinking pokedex originally but, I don't know... Could be either.
Next we have:
CARS AND TRUCKS!!! YAY!
Spoiler:
This image really interests me! There are some tings worth noting here. First is this man with what I presume is his daughter, their wobbbuffet, machamp, and furfrou. The images showcase that there seems to be a lot more depth going into this. The car is some jeep esque vehicle, and could maybe be related to your main character. Perhaps they work as a transport system?
This game gives us actual vehicles! X and Y's were nothing. Just generic cars that were only in Luminous. My thoughts are that this will be the biggest region yet. Due to it's size, people use cars to get around much faster. That's why they all have depth to them.
It's also worth noting that there are fire trucks and ambulances now. Could we see these in action? What if there is a real time environment. The cars could move along on the streets and rush to emergencies. Maybe fires will actually break out and we see the Fire Department head out to stop it? Or maybe wild pokemon will injury people and the ambulance rushes to save them? One idea I saw, is that maybe it's a mobile pokemon center for trainers?
What if as a side quest we could team up with the fire Department, or Ambulance corps, or police force? Using pokemon you'd expect them to use, there could be a mini game involving you saving the day with them? That be pretty awesome imo.
And lastly, next to the Ambulance, is a building( maybe rocks) our on the ocean with a wingull flying by.
Now this could be completely wrong, but what if that's the:
Spoiler: Sydney Opera House
Probably not, but the color scheme reminds me of it, and the region seems to be tropical.
Crazy speculation out of the way, and onto:
Woodpecker:
Spoiler:
Woody Wood Pecker! Really not much to say here. The design looks interesting and resemblance of fletching. This does kill the gen 6.5 list of pokemon though. ( R.I.P. the dream) due to the fact that he is not on it. I expect this to be like hoot hoot and evolve once. Which will be a nice change of pace. But that would mean it's probably not competitively viable, but oh well, he still looks nice. I wonder if any of the text gives away info on it?
Now I'm almost done here( if your even reading...) Next Pic:
Hotel Horsea:
Spoiler:
Alright now this has some good things in it. Let's start with the big picture. This is without a doubt, a hotel.
In fact calling it now:
It's Hotel Horsea. I'm also calling that's its the first gym as well, and that the game will go back to black and white's style of making leaders have other jobs. As further evidence that this is a hotel( besides the obvious design) is that the furiside npc has a suitcase. Also above the protagonist in red( no way this isn't the male one), are 3 silhouettes. To the left of the horse are two water types that I can't make out. I think they are both new. Perhaps one is the starter.
Let's focus on the protagonist. He looks very similar to Red. I think this is a callback and that we will see a lot more like these.
Now let's move one to the other shots here.
Let's look at the one with the yellow car. I believe this is an inn, and owned by the guy with Machamp, as that looks like his car, and it appears he is to the right of it. Could be wrong though. But this is definitely a small inn. Perhaps like Kalos, towns will have small inns, and then they could have the first city have the World Famous Hotel Horsea. Maybe that's where the backwards waterfall is?
Also the inn pictures suggests that the routes and towns are massive, so I'm getting excited for this! Now the picture next to this is very interesting....
the main character is in a room that looks like a hotel room. It could be a house but who knows. There are two intriguing things here:
1) This is a different trainer then the guy in Red, but they appear to be male. Does this confirm customization is back and much more expansive?
2) They are bent down in front of what looks like a Pokemon. It's read and could be a beaver or bear it seems. Thoughts?
Now the last two pictures depict a house( maybe your starting one?) and several different rooms. Don't know what to make of those rooms though....
