Would actually make sense if true tbh considering the region is rumoured to be inspired by the UK.

If this is true, then GameFreak is really slipping. Sun and Moon got leaked only a day before they were announced.

EDIT: Wait, mZuzek is right, the dates don't even match.

Western logo looks very fake. Also, I doubt they'd do what is essentially a Boys/Girls game.

Edit: also lol "global release" 2 days before the Japan one.

That's actually a 1 day difference since Japan is a day ahead.

King and Queen sounds like what they'd name like, the separate editions of an anime waifu game. It just ain't Pokemon honestly.

Well yeah, so if it was 1 day later I'd be fine with the "global release" thing, but it's 2. Furthermore, I just looked up the calendar, and, yeah, November 21st is a thursday. I'd be very surprised if this turned out to be real.

Edit: did these come from the same source? Cause honestly, the Japanese one does look fine enough. If they didn't come from the same source, it's possible that the Japanese one is real and the other one is just a bad attempt at making a fake localization of a real leak.

Different sources.

All signs seems to be pointing to a reveal next week. Hyped.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Well, yeah, It's sad that fell into the hype cycle again, especially after that atrocity known as lets go. We know for sure there is going to be a three hour tutorial section in the beginning, and a railroady, cutscene heavy story that is crap. It's gonna be the same graphics as pokemon lets go, 40 new pokemon, and all the kanto pokemon return with some new great gimmick that no other gens get. Held items, abilities, wild battles all removed, and the gyms are gated like they were in lets go.

I was very high on Pokemon Sun/Moon initially (as you know), but on my most recent playthrough, I'm starting to see a lot of flaws in it. Constant handholding and long cutscenes that are unskippable. Which are fine for the first two or so playthroughs, but they quickly become tedious. The story is overrated, and the "twist" is seen coming from a mile away. PSS and Dexnav removed the annoying rotom dex. Continued gen 1 pandering (there are more gen 1 pokemon in S/M than even gen 7, and only gen 1 getting Alola forms). And festival plaza sucks.

Even though it does a lot things right, It's now only a middle of the pack gen for me now.

I regret shitting on Black/White and Black 2/White 2,  when they came out. With how much gen 1 pandering there is now, I'm really starting to appreciate those games more and more, and how GF went so bold. I think a lot of people are starting to feel the same way, which is awesome. It's our fault that we are not getting more games like that, due to everyone shitting on them when they released.

However, we know for sure that gen 8 has been being developed since much before Sun/Moon, so at least three years, maybe even four. Reports say that 300 people are involved with Pokemon 2019. Not that it means much, we'll till get the same game I described in my first paragraph.

I know me and you will both end up dissapointed, but I still hold some hope.

End of an era. Pretty much everyone with huge prominence that made the Wii U era so interesting is gone from upper management. Even Shigeru isn't as much in upper management as he used to be. Will be interesting to see where this takes Nintendo (though I doubt much will change, since this current course is so successful).
