Trademarks appear for "Solgaleo" and "Lunaala"

[Garren]

Probably the name of the Box Legendaries I assume.

 

[Deku-Mimikyu]

Mario ain't doing his job, I see.

 

[Cainhxrst]

Solgaleo

galeo

leo

. . .lion

I'm liking where this is going

Unless galeo means something I'm unaware of :x

There are also trademarks for pokemon game title that never happen like Delta Emerald. I wouldn't buy into this.

 

[Fig]

And plenty of trademarks for games that do get released and monsters that do get added to the games.

 

[Tuoko]

I question what Lunaala even is... lol

Yeah!
And there were trademarks for other non-existent Pokemon games like S&M

waaaait

 

[Guzma]

Please let Lunaala be the moon rabbit, please let Lunaala be the moon rabbit, please let Lunaala be the moon rabbit...

 

[Arceus the Dragon]

So you are saying that I should rely on trademarks as a guarantee for pokemon and games? I am not going to that. I like the confirmed info to actually appear.

 

[Cainhxrst]

Given the recent box art tease, and the promise of "big news" next month, it's not that farfetched to think that GF would trademark the names of the legends now if they're ramping up for the big reveal in the coming weeks.

And we'd like to speculate. If you don't want to speculate, you can just not post in a speculation thread.

Posting just to say you think the discussion has no point because it's not confirmed information is a stupid, pointless, annoying thing to do. It is, in fact, pretty much textbook spam.

If all you have to say is "Guys guys stop talking about unconfirmed information!", then don't bother saying it.

Im pretty anxious to see them now that we know these are likely their names. They dont seem bad names to me.

 

[Tuoko]

Please let Lunaala be the moon rabbit, please let Lunaala be the moon rabbit, please let Lunaala be the moon rabbit...

Yeesss! And if Lunaala is a moon rabbit, that'll probably make me try out doubles and try getting it and Umbreon to work together.

Indeed.

I was just giving my opinion. I noticed that the names have Sol and Luna in them. References to sun and moon. Makes sense though. Fire for Solgaleo and Fairy for Lunaala.

I was being facetious, skepticism is fine.

But you should know that it's not like confirmed trademarks are part of the regular rumor mill. They carry a lot more weight.

 

[Esserise]

Oh, I *love* these names. And, bonus, they don't sound very draconic!

I never said that. People can speculate. I was giving my opinion on the matter and I am just skeptical about it. I never said that the discussion was pointless or that people should stop speculating. All we know is that they are trademarked.

 

[SeanWheeler]

I wonder what they would look like? Previous posts guessed they are a lion and a rabbit, but I still can't get a good picture in my head.

 

[Tuoko]

Well... Someone on NeoGAF posted this.

LUNAALA --> LUNA + ALA

Luna (Spanish) = Moon

Ala

In Greek seems to mean, "defending man".
In Spanish means "wing"
In latin means "wing"

So, it could be somekind of Winged Pokemon which Protects or Defends something (Pokemon?)

Perhaps it's that winged creature we discovered a while back?

EDIT: They also brought up some sort of shark.

The genus name Cirrhigaleus is derived from the Latin "cirrus" which means curl fringe and the Greek "galeo" meaning a shark. The species name asper is derived from Latin, meaning rough.

... I actually want a sun shark legendary now.

 

[Bolt Strike]

I imagine Solgaleo being something like the Thousand Sunny from One Piece (except a little less happy looking, legendary Pokemon do have to look somewhat intimidating):
