Trailers and News Discussion

Another thing I've seen pointed out is the Chinese-style town in the Japanese trailer has a sign with a hammer on it, like a carpenter. People have also noticed some interesting empty lots dotted around the islands in the map, possibly hinting at some sort of expansion on the villa you could own in D/P?

- Famitsu Trailer, we see Professor Oak(?) (or a relative), and confirmation that Wishiwashi is a Totem Pokemon like speculated.

Didn't see anything major beyond some new areas, and some new Z-Moves. In case you're wondering what Ghost-type move Litten learns it's just Lick.

 

[King Shuckle]

New trailer just came out. Nothing new revealed, but we get some characters it looks like and possibly new locations.

 

[Tailisu10]

Prof. Oak is extremely tanned lmao

 

[Tuoko]

we see Professor Oak(?) (or a relative)

"オーキッド Ōkiddo"

There's that... But yeah, it has to be a relative of Oak's, different eyebrow style and I don't think someone can get that tanned.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

1:32 Professor Oak!? I could buy that being him and not a relative of his. The face and eyebrows look very familiar and the Japanese text does read Okiddo. If that's Professor Oak and not a relative of his, I'll actually be really happy to see him.

 

[King Shuckle]

Either Oak is retired and now resides here in Alola, or is on vacation in Alola and doesn't know how to use a tanning booth properly.

 

[Life]

Looks like it's actually him, which is pretty neat since this is the first time a professor has come back for an appearance. If it's not then no idea who it could be (every detail matches); perhaps an Ultra Beast in disguise?

If it is Prof. Oak then perhaps he might explain to us why only Kanto Pokémon have Alola forms? ^^ Obviously there is a lot of Kanto homage in SM so it actually being Prof. Oak seems really likely.

 

[Tuoko]

Hm... Apparently the text implies that he's in the Alola region studying the new Alola forms?

It'd be nice if someone could clear that up, but you might be right @Life I also like the idea of him giving us Charizard.

 

[badwolf1234]

Professor oak alolan form revealed its typing is now dark/tan lol

 

[Dragons Are Superior]

Ultra Beast were the biggest surprise for me. I am interested to know more about them and how many more there are in Sun and Moon. Game Freak is seriously hyping me up for these games with all these great information we are receiving.

I hope that new Dragon evolves into a pseudo (just a personal wish of mine). Judging by the description and name of it, I could see it as a Dragon/Fighting. Yes, it has a 4x weakness but there are other Dragons and non-Dragons that have 4x weaknesses. Plus there are ways to combat the pokemon's weaknesses.

Type: Null intrigues me. It seems to have parts of other pokemon. I wonder if there is some kind of item(s) that would give a type depending on the item or something?

People are speculating around four to five Ultra Beasts. I think those alone caught just about EVERYONE off guard. They peak my interest for sure, just as Type: Null does.

 

[Dragons Are Superior]

Lusamine in this latest clip actually looks somewhat surprised that UB-01 came through a portal, but also excited based on her expression. Did anyone else notice that?

 

[Life]

It'd be nice if someone could clear that up, but you might be right @Life I also like the idea of him giving us Charizard.

You know, I actually took that part out of my post as I was remembering that the Poké Ride system is based on Pokémon lending their power instead of needing to be caught. '^^ However, knowing GF I wouldn't put it past them to have Oak give us Kanto starters regardless.

 

[Esserise]

Maybe Oak has a twin brother?

 

[AmethystLeslie]

Looks like it's actually him, which is pretty neat since this is the first time a professor has come back for an appearance.

Oak's appeared in other games before, like the Johto and Sinnoh games (in case anyone didn't remember him, he told you about the Pal Park and the roaming Kanto legendary birds)

Pretty cool trailer, looks like we got some blink-and-you'll-miss-it new footage, even if it didn't show anything new, I'm always excited to see some new gameplay.

 

[Tuoko]

Has anyone noticed that CG Solgaleo and Lunala entered a portal that looks similar to UB-01's?

 

[Hidden Mew]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it's Professor Oak. A relative is possible, but I don't think a person could get that much of a tan without being in pain. Considering that the Alola forms we've seen thus far are Kanto Pokemon, it would make sense that he'd want to come to Alola to study them. Plus, he did appear in the second and fourth generation games, so it wouldn't be entirely out of nowhere. It would be nice to see that the other Professors exist outside of their home regions. Given his popularity, I figured that Professor Sycamore would show up if they were going to bring any previous Professors into the games.

 

[Dragons Are Superior]

Has anyone noticed that CG Solgaleo and Lunala entered a portal that looks similar to UB-01's?

When you look closer, they are only distantly similar. Although, it's two different sides, so you may be onto something.

 

[Arceus the Dragon]

I don't think that is professor Oak. I think it is just guy with the same name that's all.
