Oak giving Ash the new dex along with Rotom before going to Alola. Seems about right.

So that one XY rotom episode had rotom time travel. So clearly Rotom dex is going to bring the player back to the time of the war and its effects on the Alola region. There's my crazy theory that has no chance of happening (and it not happening is probably for the better).
Also it is great if that is really a dexnav tab seen in one of the trailers. Wasn't sure they would bring it back.

GTA Pokémon where you use Rotom to hijack cars.
No, it wouldn't. They need to increase Pokémon use in the overworld, not decrease it.
The solution is simple: make HMs not occupy regular battle moves space. That should have been the case since Gen 2 or 3.
The moon pokémon, weak to dark.

Yes. But I can see them increasing the problem. You must carry a Rotom with you at all times in your party and its locked in. Now add the useless HM Pokemon, your left with 1 spot for a Pokemon you actually like and want to use.
I love that the current Pokedex model in the anime is a Gameboy Advanced
Wow thanks for spoiling the postgame zeta episode
Maybe they aren't trainer battles

An Eclipse would block that moonlight though.
Possessing things is Rotom's defining trait. I doubt they want to take that away from it.

Holy shit, that is such an easy and elegant solution that has never even occurred to me before.

Old Pokemon in Sun/Moon so far
Meowth/Persian
Luvdisc
Corsola
Slowpoke/Slowbro/Slowking
Rotom
Horsea (a statue of it)/Seadra/Kingdra
Other than Rotom and Meowth, seems to be mostly tropical themed Pokemon.

It's in one of the Japanese videos that came out today. He was chilling in the overworld.

Some quick things to note after looking at the new map:
- There are four major islands + the artificial one in the middle as the description of the region has said. BUT, there is an island to the top right of the region, barely obscured by clouds. Definitely another island to visit as I don't think it'd be there for show.
- There are two conveniently placed clouds at the bottom of the screen, probably obscuring more islands. There are no other clouds in the rest of the region (just around it), so it's either late game or post game content.
- There are boats heading between all of the major islands. Based on that we know the starting island is the top-left and the way the boats are heading, I think the order you visit them will be: Top-left, bottom-left, top-right, bottom-right. All four of these major islands has a dock which you can see, meaning we'll be able to travel by boat to all of these islands throughout the game.
- The bottom-left island has a smaller island to its south, but this island seemingly can't be reached via boat or even surf if we go by past mechanics. (No dock, rocks blocking off the southern beach of the major island.) Of note, however, the shallow water color extends around this, so more than likely, you'll be able to surf from another part of the island.
- If you count the four major islands (bottom-left including the smaller landmass to its south), the artificial one, the partially obscured on to the top-right, and assume two more islands under the clouds, you'd come to eight islands, like Hawaii.

interestingly enough, meowth also perfectly fits the region, hawaii has a huge feral cat population. so perhaps sun and moon will have tons of wild cat pokemon, lol

people asked/were curious, here's the sequence (video ver.)
do note that sync actually doesn't need any bangles or such, so this makes me wonder the purpose of the crystal thing
if you flush would it do its trademark laugh

Yep, that's dumb. Keep it out of the games please.

I forgot Salamence and Gengar too. So 6 more old ones for the dex.
Salamence is still awkwardly hovering... so I guess flying models aren't fixed.

anyone else realize that this is essentially the orange islands game we've wanted for a decade and a half?

What would be the point of making a new Pokemon that can possess electronics when they already have an old one that does the same thing?
who is this we?

Hilbert is personally what I think is the best male trainer design.
Didn't the pokemon team just work with the guy who makes tekken and the pokemon staff admitted that they like tekken so much they wanted pokken to just be pokemon, but tekken with all fighting types. And it was harada who suggested other wise
All i'm saying is if she introduced in the anime cartweeling the fuck out team rocket I told you.
This poster knows what's up
The friendship is magic talk while dumb was just talk. This actually affects the gameplay.

Why isnt Rotom pokedex the first pokemon you've captured?
Do you need to mega evolve Rotom to get more pokedex entries?

The black and white games had some really good trainer dsigns, I think everything gen 5 forward does. Gamefreak needs to make a human based game like... stat.
