[LincolnTunnel]

What time will that be in Eastern time?

9:00 am

 

[Mr. Pointy]

They'll show footage the NX version of Sun/Moon before Nintendo show off the NX itself.

 

[Rigalo]

How many hours?

 

[ArchedThunder]

I hope we finally get the first starter evos, or maybe Pikipek's.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hmm wait, Togedemaru, Bruxish and Drampa were corocoro first right? lemme revise

 

[Sandfox]

I'm not expecting much in terms of new Pokemon at this point.

Those three were revealed via a trailer. Wishiwashi and Pyukumuku technically weren't CoroCoro first.

 

[Avixph]

Oh that's still a long way to go.

 

[Opinionatedfish]

Is the NX an Ultra Beast?

Yes. When you open the box, it wraps it's strangely sexy tentacles around you and the gameplay begins.

I'm pretty sure Wishiwashi and Pyukumuku were Coro Coro first. I remember making a thread

Due to a leak. The trailer went up before the magazine officially released.

gameplay

So... Rockruff evo + UBs + some new mons today?

If what you say is true and Rockruff's evos are labelled Corocoro exclusive then I suspect they won't be revealled on this direct. I think they will show the two UBs though. I could possibly see them reveal the mid stage starters. I also think they'll give us another Alolan form as they didn't give us one in Corocoro. Finally I think they will introduce other characters (such as the other Kahunas or trial captains) and probably outline who Samson Oak is.

 

[ebevan91]

I want to see starter evolutions.

interesting, what about bewear and mimikyu?

apparently it wasn't corocoro exclusive

The trailers for those came out on the 19th of that month so it was after.

 

[Razmos]

About 7 hours away from the time of this post I think.

Hope we get a (non gen1) mega evolution

 

[Killer Queen]

I hope mega evos are dead. Let them be a gen 6 thing and exist in their own universe.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So only Wishiwashi and Pyukumuku then? All right, updating.

and I just realized only 2 alola forms are Coro Coro first

man the videos have been on a roll

Just like how Sheer Heart Attack has no weaknesses, m i rite?

 

[J@hranimo]

I really hope they slow down on revealing Pokemon.

Man we're two months out

Keep em coming lol.

Heyyyyyyy man
It still works and that's good enough.

 

[k91191]

Hopefully we see some more gen1 Alola forms.

 

[Boss Doggie]

1 hr and 30 mins from now

 

[JoeM86]

So... Rockruff evo + UBs + some new mons today?

Wouldn't be surprised if we hear about the demo today too

Note: the above is speculation and not indicative of insider knowledge

 

[KelpPlankton]

So I guess we should expect the Rockruff evolutions, the two UBs that korokoro revealed, and then some more stuff on top of that? Kind of would follow the pattern past videos have done (re-reveal korokoro things plus something else new)

Since we seem to know all the major members of both Team Skull and Aether now, maybe we'll get some actual story details? If not that, we'll probably go a little more in-depth about the island trials and captains I guess.

If no story stuff or trials/captains info, then I guess they'll probably have another new mechanic to show off? There's got to be something we'll be surprised by in here other than more new pokemon.

edit: oh yeah like joe says the demo could come up too, that would be nice.

 

[MicH]

I wonder... If we were to get Alolan Magmar / Electabuzz / Tangela... Would we also get an Alolan form of their evolutions? 🤔 Technically those aren't gen 1 Pokemon

 

[JoeM86]

We also need to hear about the Amie replacement, since we've seen it twice now

 

[KelpPlankton]

If something with an Alolan Form evolves, that evolution would need an Alolan Form too. But normal forms can evolve into Alolan ones.

I think this is why none of the Alolan Form pokemon are also ones with Mega Evolutions

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

HYPE! Still want new evolutions for old Pokemon for example like gen 4 did

 

[brinstar]

feels like they're making a concious decision to only give Alolan forms to Gen 1 Pokemon that haven't gotten any extra evos or Megas.

 

[Diprosalic]

and so far they are all two stagers*


(exemption Raichu but cmon it's Raichu it deserves the love)

me too, i don't want any single stage Pokemon left outside of legendaries or gimmicks)

Raichu deserves nothing.

 

[MaximumSpider]

I wanna hear about that demo.

Spoiler

and the "DOWNLOAD IT TODAY ON THE ESHOP!!" announcement

 

[SliceSabre]

Raichu deserves nothing.

I am calling a mod. Attacks against Raichu are personal attacks against me.


Calling it Aloha Butterfree. Believe it.

 

[Diprosalic]

Spoiler

DOWNLOAD IT TODAY*

Spoiler

*if you have registered every single pokemon game ever released online and you have a standing gamestop preorder for both Sun and Moon!

demo can be played up to 3 times!

 

[Not75Drops]

Yeah I would subscribe the official newsletter now if you haven't already. They might not distribute a demo that way, but if they do, the whole site will crash after the announcement.

 

[brinstar]

Butterfree's already shown up in a trailer

 

[Chase17]

Alola venonat. Mega Nidoking. Book it

Don't really.

 

[SliceSabre]

No shut up I want to believe.

 

[woopWOOP]

Oh, that's today!
Oh, it's in less than an hour, sweet!

 

[Valahart]

How much time is there left for the information?


Edit: thanks guys!

 

[linkandzelda]

How much time is there left for the information?

40 mins.

 

[ruddiger7]

How much time is there left for the information?

I think 39 mins. Japan is an hour behind us in Aus. Its 10:21 here.

 

[Already Torn]

Alolan Jynx, bet on it

 

[MiTYH]

I wanna hear about that demo.

Spoiler

and the "DOWNLOAD IT TODAY ON THE ESHOP!!" announcement

I would love this. But seeing as how we're about 2 months out, I'm betting the demo comes next month. They seem to release news every week or so, so it's very probable

 

[oti]

Alolan Psyduck. It's the only thing that matters.

 

[Forkball]

Last minute guesses:

Alolan Butterfree
No Rockruff info (Corocoro Exclusive)
Samson Oak + maybe some more info relating to returning characters
Some new Pokemon
UB-02 Ultra Beasts
Poke Amie expansion

 

[-Horizon-]

Would be nice to see starter evos but I'm not going in expecting it.

 

[Phoenixus]

Would they do the email distribution method for a demo again? Feels more special that way even if it's annoying and too limiting.

 

[Kouriozan]

It'll soon be time to spam refresh on Pokémon's JP Youtube channel.
