Secret Bases return or House Building?

[Mitchman]

Something raised my curiousity in the new trailers that piqued my interest, and it makes me wonder if there is a major feature not yet shown off that will be either of the two I mention in the title.

The shop icon I circled is a hammer, curious innit?

I don't know if it is a hammer, if you look at a clearer image it looks like the part that would be the handle bends. It looks more like a palm tree to me, but I'm not sure what type of store would use a palm tree as their emblem. Maybe a souvenir shop? Tourist information? I'm not sure.

 

[Soki]

We can buy Alolan Exeggutors there

I indeed also see a palm tree in there, however I would absolutely love to get a house in this game since the houses are absolutely beautiful. If the PC's are old enough to travel the world alone, they're old enough to get their own house!

 

[Aulos]

That makes me wonder what the CD store sells.

TMs....

 

[Cute Charm]

That makes me wonder what the CD store sells.

TMs most likely.

TMs are always cds.

 

[Esserise]

Yeah, it looks like a palm tree to me as well.

 

[Aulos]

TMs most likely.

TMs are always cds.

Geez. That was so obvious. Forget I ever asked that. >.<

 

[Mitchman]

Oh, the resolution on my phone made it look like a hammer, a palm tree makes more sense. Either way, a store selling trees still suggests decor for something.

Well, a palm tree wouldn't necessarily suggest trees being sold. As Zeb said, it could just be like a souvenir shop or it could provide tourist information. Or it could just be a filler booth; the booths in Slateport's open-air market didn't all sell purchasable items.

Although a palm tree can also be a generic symbol for a restaurant of some type, too.

 

[Cute Charm]

You'd think Chinatown would have either a bowl of rice or a dragon pokemon as a restaurant sign.

I'm kind of on board with tourist information or a hotel like the ones were in Kalos. Either that or its the berry gardening store that usually masquerades as a full gardening center.

 

[Boss1708]

What if it is a Berry Shop? Maybe you can plant berries around Alola, and plant palm trees as well.

 

[Arceus the Dragon]

In Platinum, you get a villa which you can fill up with furniture that you purchase in there. Perhaps we might see something similar happen again?

 

[PinkIceFox]

Man I would love secret bases to be around again, or even a little house to decorate. I'm kinda mad that the sercret bases in Sinnoh are so limited (how lovely, I can have all kinds of funiture but since I can't collect flags 90% of my space is taken up by stupid rocks!!). The Villa I get later in platinum sounds nice... but it's a total let down that you don't get to decorate it yourself. You just buy furniture that gets automatically placed in a spot. |: How lame.

 

[Hidden Mew]

I wouldn't mind if Secret Bases returned since the improvements made in OR/AS made them far more enjoyable than they ever were for me in the original third version games. It would also provide a good way to level grind without just facing the same trainers over and over again. They may prefer something new for Sun/Moon instead given that they are emphasizing a lot of new features and concepts right off the bat.

 

[PocketMonster]

I wonder if it will be a contest area that is similar to the Magicarp fishing house that wiegh your magicarp you caught. maybe alola exeggutor will be about height.
