Erm, hasn't Coro Coro already leaked? I mean, we've been looking at the scans.

The battles in this game look so much better than 6th gen...

Lot's of nice improvements by Game Freak.

One of the things i've grown to rather despise about Gen VI is how lifeless and dull so many of the attack animations, both the moves themselves and the characters (as well as the camera), look in comparison to previous generations. As an example, Close Combat just doesn't have the punch it should when all you get is some generic white flurry to represent the various hits and the power therein along with a little steam to indicate the negative side effects of using such a move. The battle system itself is fine, it's just the representation of said system is woefully underwhelming visually.

Which is why it's cool that the animations are looking better in Sun and Moon.

Playing a lot of ORAS right now, this is one thing I can notice immediately. It def seems that they have been able to add smoother animations, new ones, and render the models differently. Aside from the aesthetics and the sweeping overworld changes, This game still looks completely different. We'll only truly notice when we get to play it.

Tomm we will get Rockruff evo. Hopefully a look into its mechanics instead of a tease. Possibly an evolution? Its easier rolling news than an all new reveal. People want more Alolans also.
 
UB-02 Absorption looks way too articulated and detailed to be a Pokémon. Like, not even the extravagant looking legendaries post gen 3 ever looked like that. I refuse to believe it's anything other than a glorified boss battle. Just look at it.

UB-02_Absorption.png


It has shading and detail that is matched by no other Pokémon in the entire series.
 
I'm preparing the |OT|, as requested time ago. Any title ideas? let's get creative!

And to participate in the thread:
I am really intrigued by these ultra beasts or whatever, will we be able to capture them or they aren't pokémon at all?
 
Pokemon Sun & Moon |OT| Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?


(That has nothing to do with anything, I just like that song.)
 
Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon |OT| I don't have a title idea but maybe something related to Alola/ Alolan forms would be nice? Or a day/night reference.
