Pokemon Generation VII: Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon *Leaks/Spoilers ahead!*

[Sakura Leic]

Lol, what even are those poses that Ash & Pikachu are doing in that poster? 

The pose for the Electric Type Z Move since every Z Move has a pose or dance.

[Protoman Blues]

Ahhhhh. That makes zense!

[Dr. Wily II]

Most likely it is Gigavolt Havoc.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I haven't memorized all the names just yet also the dance for the unamed Ghost Z Move is adorable.

Have we discussed this? Cause holy [parasitic bomb] I'm all in!!!

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah it's a mini series, but I am all for seeing more adorkable Red.

[Quickman]

YES PLEASE

[Sakura Leic]

Speaking of which I really hope we see the Starter Midstage Evolutions tomorrow.  Since they do share the same secret as Rockruff I guess we're getting Version Exclusive Evolutions for them too most likely.

Yes the Rockruff Evolutions are version exclusive since it wasn't mentioned.

[Dr. Wily II]

If it's Origins, then yea, it was awesome. SquirtleXCharmander forever.

If it's more... YES PLS

[Reaperoid]

Yes the Rockruff Evolutions are version exclusive since it wasn't mentioned.

figures, but I was holding out for just a regular day night evo, such that because of the 12h shift more of the Moon players would typically get Midnight forme, etc. ;(

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah the Midnight form is exclusive to Moon and the Midday Form is exclusive to Sun.  We probably need to do some major Rockruff tradings at one point.

[Dr. Wily II]

Well, some information have trickled in from the Japanese Pokemon site on the UB-02s.

Expansion has a body that is a deadly weapon, and its probiscus is stronger than diamonds.

Beauty uses its beauty to charm Pokemon, no matter the gender. These Pokemon then lose their desire to fight. Beauty is also quick enough to outrun lightning.

[Dr. Wily II]

And a new English trailer is released, talking about the UB-02s.
[yt]https://youtu.be/7Z8hARTlZrE[/yt]

Expansion is localized as Absorption, and Beauty keeps its name.
It confirms that Absorption is exclusive to Sun, and fights Tapu Koko, while Beauty is exclusive to Moon to fight Tapu Koko.

[tornado fang]
I wanted to get Sun
but now there's more waifus

[Dr. Wily II]

There will be more news coming out on 20th Sept, hopefully more substantial, haha.

[Quickman]

Glad I'm getting Moon for werewaifu and bug waifu.

[Reaperoid]

A mosquito and a... cockroach? VERSION EXCLUSIVE BUG MONSTERS WAT

[Dr. Wily II]

ALL HAIL OUR BUG OVERLORDS
NOT BUG-TYPE OVERLORDS

[Dr. Wily II]

As promised, new news!

[yt]https://youtu.be/m8lfI66T5II[/yt]

[spoiler=Video details]So we have version exclusive primates. In Sun, we have the Fighting-type Passimian, while in Moon we have the Normal/Psychic-type Oranguru.


Passimian has a new Ability called Receiver, which basically receives a fainted ally Pokemon's Ability.


Oranguru has Inner Focus or Telepathy, and a new move called Instruct, which basically causes an ally Pokemon to repeat its last used move.


Then it confirms the evolutionary version exclusives for Rockruff. In Sun, it's called Lycanroc Midday Form, in Moon it's Lycanroc Midnight Form.
Midday Form has Keen Eye or Sand Rush, while Midnight Form has Keen Eye or Vital Spirit.


New exclusive Z-Moves are revealed for Pikachu and Eevee.
Pikachu gets CatastroPika, where Pikachu is being thrown like a electrified fast ball.
Eevee gets Extreme Evoboost, where Eevee gains power from all its Eeveelutions, increasing all its stats by 2 stages.


Customisation returns, but this time, it must be paid using Festival Coins. There's a whole lot more hairstyles, hair colours, contact lenses, and of course clothes to choose from. Plus, you can go hatless!


Lastly, Pokemon Amie is replaced by Pokemon Refresh, where you can groom, rub and feed treats that aren't PokePuffs. Also, if your Pokemon is suffering from a status condition, you can heal them via specialised grooming.[/spoiler]


The next news update will be on 4th October.

[Quickman]

I see glasses!  I SEE GLASSES

[Sakura Leic]

Oh we actually got a Rugby Monkey, though since Pokemon Refresh can cure status Ailments outside of battle perhaps we don't need as many Status curing items except for in Battle.

EDIT:  Here's the Japanese trailer.

[Sakura Leic]

I found some different information from the Pokemon Website, apparently you can dye White clothing items in different colors.

EDIT: Oh and I also found out from the Pokemon Website that Snorlax actually needs to have Giga Impact in order to perform Pulverizing Pancake along with the Z Crystal.

[Dr. Wily II]

BIG NEWS!!
[yt]https://youtu.be/ciqAkdXQ9dw[/yt]

[yt]https://youtu.be/n9o552CaJV8[/yt]

[spoiler]Firstly, we finally have the first stage evolutions of the starters!
Rowlet evolves into Dartrix, so suave. Grass/Flying, Overgrow. It likes its bowtie being rubbed, but not his hair. Just groom its hair, and will love you long time.
Litten evolves into Torracat. Fire, Blaze. It likes its head being rubbed, but beware of his flaming orb! Just groom its claws, and will love you long time.
Popplio evolves into Brionne. Water, Torrent. It likes its neck area being rubbed. Just groom its... Head appendages (>_>), and will love you long time.

Next up, we have the Festival Plaza. Here, you help people like in the Join Avenue of B2W2, and you get rewarded with Festival Coins. These Coins can then be used to purchase stuff, or play attractions, like the Gen6 PGL. The Japanese video also confirms that you can dye white clothes with colours, and paid using Festival Coins.

Then, we have a new feature called the Poké Pelago. This uses your boxed Pokémon to go on adventures into various Isles.
Isle Abeens can attract wild Pokemon that you can catch, Isle Aphun can be searched for rare items like evolutionary stones, and Isle Evelup is like Super Training, to train your EVs.
The Japanese video also shows that you can plant Berries on one of the Isles too.

After a drought of information, Mega Evolution has been confirmed!! And it's linked to Z-Power.

Lastly, a special demo version of Sun and Moon will be released on 18th October 2016, just like with ORAS. In this demo, you are given a special Greninja that you can transfer over to Sun and Moon via Pokemon Link. This Greninja has the Battle Bond ability, which lets it turn into Ash-Greninja when it knocks out a Pokemon.
[/spoiler]

The next news update will be on 14th October 2016.

[Sakura Leic]

......JOIN AVENUE SUCCESSOR YAY!

Also finally those people said that the game wasn't going to have Mega Evolution period can shut up.

[Dr. Wily II]

It's like someone said. Mega Evolution is no longer the marketing tool it was back in Gen 6. This is Gen 7, of course they have to highlight new features exclusive to Gen 7.
Plus, despite the sheer broken-ness of Mega Evolution *coughmegarayquazacough*, it's something that's here to stay.
