I got lucky with an ORAS code through email in the first batch (I think?) last time. I don't expect it to happen again lol

So good possibility of a demo announced today because of the Korean filed thing?
Edit: would be a great way to promote Ash Greninja Z stone and have it transfer over.
I don't think froakie is native to Alola.

If they do announce the demo I hope it's not the only announcement, the announcement of a few new things that we can see in the demo would be cool.

I want to know if megas are coming back...
God I hope not. They should focus on real evolutions instead and not on 1 Digimon Evolution for 1 battle.
Sounds like Nintendo alright.
Snorlax's wake-up move is like the only thing that has me interested in Sun and Moon currently. :/ Hopefully that's easy to get beyond "lol pre-order the game!" Because lord knows Gamestop and other places will totally screw that up.

I was under the impression that you didn't have to pre-order the game to get that special Munchlax. You just have to buy the game before January, 17th (?), 2017.
It's not a pre order bonus. Its available for everyone to download in the first two months after release.
@Demo discussion. I really do hope we get an announcement today. I wanna dip my toes into alola before jumping in completely in November
January 11th. Just remember it's the date of the first episode of Hidamari Sketch and you'll be set.
Also you won't get a demo. It'll just be a Pikachu hat to buy in Miitomo.
Hahaha...ha...I could see that happening. I mostly want to know what hackers may find in the demo.
As if they would do both. They are already redesigning older Pokemon, so that they don't need to add more new Pokemon to Sun and Moon.
Of course they are.
Contrary to what people believe, Megas are essentially new Pokémon. They have never cut new Pokémon.
You know this how?
Take a look at XY.
Yup. We got 72 new Pokemon (69 at launch) and Volcanion #72 is still not released and made available.
So, I'm taking a guess and saying that the number of actual new Pokemon will be similiar. Do I hope that I'll be proven wrong? Yes, I do.
But how do you get the idea that the forms and Megas and stuff are instead of new Pokemon, or that they won't do both?
There are a lot of things that happened with XY that could be attributed with impacting the number of new Pokemon . I would think having to create 3d models and animations and figure out the whole battle system for 3d would have a bigger impact than anything else. Not exactly a good time to add 150 new Pokemon, you know?
I would too, at least when it comes to talking about additions to the games, but I didn't wanna open up that can of worms lol

as usual, yes
On top of that, they likely wanted to showcase and get people to come to terms with the 3D look of old Pokémon. Between XY and ORAS, all species (baring Mythicals) are available and often seen in the wild, Trainer battles, and the like. Looking at older generations, that was hardly the case. There are still Gen 4/5 sprites that I'm not used to seeing.
All of these matters, both technical and non-technical, made the addition of only 72 new species reasonable. Now that people are used to essentially all Pokémon, it makes sense to diversify them and freshen things up. Alolan forms are one means to doing this, but I would say a slightly bigger number of actual new species would also make sense.

please no ashgreninja
please no ashgreninja
My question is how we're going to handle forms. Do they count as new pokemon? I mean, work had to be done, they're different render/type and have new moves.
But so do these guys:
well people argue that theyre forms, not evolutions, which isnt wrong either

Ohhh, Alolan Raticate as well.
Edit: Wait, Sun and Moon are set 10 hours apart. Does that mean it's always dark in Moon? Or just that certain events take place at night? Huh.
