The lack of confirmation of anything to begin with. Which probably should be more than just a single percent of doubt, but I'll stay cocky.

The trademark is real, and for it to happen right before the direct is not likely a coincidence. Plus the names give meaning to Masuda's seemingly random twitter post about the moon being visible while the sun is out. Yeah still not official confirmation that Sun n Moon will be revealed tomorrow, but it's pretty much the safest bet ever. I atleast am 100% sure it will be Sun n Moon thus it will be Gen 7!

Can you link to the twitter post?

Note that, while I went looking, I did find another interesting reference that seems a little out-of-place. Here's the Google Translation: "Good morning everybody! The 2nd left until February 27 Saturday! Twenty years ago,, Pokemon Red Green was developed on UNIX hanging, such as PC9801 on a computer called SUN SPARCstation 1! Masuda of these days I was also doing the environment construction and network programmers!"

Notice SUN? He didn't really have to specify that, so why did he?

Going from the leaked names, it sounds more like a new gen. I mean, as it stands Sun and Moon don't really sound connected to X and Y at all. If it was a 3rd game in gen 6, it would make more sense for it to be X2/Y2, or Z or something. These titles sound more new than a 3rd gen 6 game.

I said "goes with", not "represents". I was making the point that one can link one of the two from each pair of games to each of sun and moon. That is, X and Alpha Sapphire naturally align with Moon and Y and Omega Ruby naturally align with Sun. Their boxart legendaries align, too. I'm NOT suggesting that the Sun/Moon boxart would have multiple legendaries, or even those legendaries at all.

So if they made a sequel pair that is a sequel to both current pairs, then Moon would be the sequel to X and AS, and Sun would be the sequel to Y and OR.

The linking for Yveltal and the Sun is more about appearance and natural association. Yveltal is bright red and when it's coming to the end of its life, it absorbs all life, and when it's done doing so, it'll go back into its cocoon. When the sun is in the process of dying, it'll go an angry red, expand to absorb Mercury, Venus, and Earth, and then shrink down to a white dwarf.

Similarly, the Moon aligns with Xerneas, which has the appear of a dappled or ethereal glow that one would associate with night. Its colour is a muted blue like the night, it learns Geomancy which could be associated with the moon's effect on tides.

 

Alright fine but I just have to know, do you really believe there is a chance of this happening? I swear to Arceus I will eat my 3DS if it does!

I never doubted whether it's real or not. I'm sure it is. I'm just saying that we don't know anything so it there still is a possibility that it's a 6.5 gen thing, which I highly doubt, thus alluding to my "1%" possibility that it could be just that. 

 

Fair enough!

Definitely not coincidences!

Well, there's one good reason to think it *could* go that way - there are references within ORAS that seem to suggest that certain things from Emerald were in planning at the time (in-game, that is, like Battle Frontier), and it feels like there might be a bit of story left to tell.

Note that I didn't say that it necessarily would feature Hoenn itself. Just that it would be a sequel to the Hoenn storyline. Like, maybe we meet various characters from Hoenn in Kalos and learn more about what came after ORAS, with some interaction. Perhaps we even travel to the Battle Frontier in Hoenn.

gen 6.5, imo

It doesn't make any sense to release a new gen without being a NX launch title

Gen 7, I'm sure about 99%. I mean, how the heck does Sun and Moon relate to the letters X and Y?

 

Space coordinates along with Z

Sorry, gonna lock this up as there's another thread on it that I never noticed.
