Trademark registered by GameFreak, judging by the name probably the Sun and Moon Mascots. I have a feeling this is leading up to them being officially revealed soon enough, probably even before CoroCoro next month---Zekrom and Reshiram for instance were revealed through the official website back in the lead up to Black and White.

We've had various Pokemon leaked through trademarks before, such as before XY were released quite a few including the evolutions of the starters.

 

[AdanVC]

Those are some fancy names for a Pokémon. Nice!

 

[GoldStarz]

A Sun Lion? Man, I'm switching to team Moon if that ends up being the case. :\

 

[StoneFox]

Leo.
Nala.

Lions.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

HYPE!?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Was hoping for pics. Oh well.

[Mr-Joker]

DAMN IT BIRDIE I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GO TO BED!!! >:|

Sweet we know their name so we can kinda guess what they might look like.

[Rodney McKay]

Galileo Pokemon? I'm down for that.

 

[GoldStarz]

Leo.
Nala.

Lions.

You realize Nala is an actual name right? One that outside of the context of Lion King has nothing to do with the animal?

 

[fisheyes]

Thunderbolt and Lightning,
very very frightening me.
Solgaleo

[NMFried]

IT'S A HUGE LION

Spoiler

sun lion hype

 

[Starphoenix]

Are you sure Solgaleo is not a fusion between Sun and Galileo? That's what came to my mind first.

 

[Crono27]

Regardless software what they look like. Team moon all the way!

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Give us Entei with a Sun wig.

 

[Zebei]

Names are nice and all but I need to see those designs


Give us the good Gamefreak

Nice catch

[The Technomancer]

Leonala sounds like something I would kill in Monster Hunter

 

[Neiteio]

Which one is a dolphin

 

[MuchoMalo]

There goes the ridiculous Primal/Mega Ho-Oh/Lugia theory. Thank Arceus.

 

[GoldStarz]

Are you sure Solgaleo is not a fusion between Sun and Galileo? That's what came to my mind first.

I thought about that, but I can't figure how Galileo would factor into a design unless it was purely sun-based.

 

[Starphoenix]

Team Moon

 

[jnWake]

Lunaala could be Moon + Wing ("Luna" and "Ala" in spanish).

EDIT: Don't think it's really necessary to point it out, but Solgaleo has "Sol" which is Sun in spanish. Galeo means nothing as far as I'm aware, other than Galileo or something related to "Gale".

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

It was 2ch who discovered these, just saw a thread on 4chan and posted it here so whoever anonymous person posted it on that site deserves the credit.

 

[KingBroly]

Leomon is gonna be pissed

 

[GoldStarz]

Lunaala could be Moon + Wing ("Luna" and "Ala" in spanish).

Lunar Wing retcon incoming!!

 

[Starphoenix]

Lunaala could be Moon + Wing ("Luna" and "Ala" in spanish).

Cresselia?

 

[Daft Punk]

You mean it won't be:

 

[Azuran]

Lunaala could be Moon + Wing ("Luna" and "Ala" in spanish).

Cresselia + Lunatone fusion.

 

[Fishlake]

Are you sure Solgaleo is not a fusion between Sun and Galileo? That's what came to my mind first.

This also is what I think it is.

Is there a famous astrologist for the moon one? I can't think of any.

It will be interesting to see what kind of designs these are.

 

[Neiteio]

This reminds me of the good ol' days in earlier gens where people would come up with portmanteaus and check to see if Nintendo claimed domains for them, thereby confirming the English names of Pokemon.

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

I hope we see them soon!

There's also one more trademark they registered called "Gigareki" but the person who posted the thread on 4chan doesn't think it's a Pokemon since there's no image with the romanization written out above it like with Solgaleo and Lunaala.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

I was hoping for Lunatone and Solrock evo's when I clicked on this thread...

The region name maybe?

 

[Firestorm]

Finally we get Solrock and Lunatone evolutions.

 

[Busaiku]

Lions?

 

[blitzwolf215]

Finally we get Solrock and Lunatone evolutions.

With possible baby evolution that evolves into Solrock during the day and Lunatone at night.

 

[MogCakes]

Solgaleo and Lunaala. So a lion and a llama?

 

[Menitta]

Finally we get Solrock and Lunatone evolutions.

I swear, if Lunatone is exclusive to Sun and Solrock is exclusive to Moon, I'm going to be so mad!

 

[Illucio]

The Sun pokemon sounds like a Fire/Lightning type

The Moon Pokemon sounds like Dark/Psychic or Dark/Water

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

The region name maybe?

Doubt it, as I think it'd have 地方 ("region") after it.

The person who posted the thread on 4chan thinks it might be a new gameplay mechanic or something along those lines---someone who knows Japanese better might know what the name might mean.

 

[Toxi]

I bet Solgaleo is not actually based on a lion and will disappoint everyone who was expecting one.

 

[n0a]

Gamefreak also trademarked something called "Gigareki." Here's the pic for anyone interested.

 

[GoldStarz]

The Sun pokemon sounds like a Fire/Lightning type

The Moon Pokemon sounds like Dark/Psychic or Dark/Water

But Fairy types are associated with the Moon. Shouldn't it but Fairy/Psy or Fairy/Water?

I bet Solgaleo is not actually based on a lion and will disappoint everyone who was expecting one.

Opposite for me lol. Sun Lions are so cliche, I'd hope for GF to be a little more creative.

 

[Menitta]

I'll be happy, because I don't want a lion.

 

[Mediking]

More Legendaries, huh? -_____-

 

[Hydrus]

Barf. I really hope it isn't lions.
