Pokémon Sun & Moon | Info and speculation thread

How is the Sun lion not fire? And Moon bat not fairy? Does not compute. And isn't Solgaleo's ability just clear body? Dunno what to think of this trailer. Why is there a Rotom in my dex?
 
On that QR page it shows there's a new map function when seeing a Pokemon's area, this time it actually shows a layout of the route...
 
They got the same artist who did the Hoenn map in ORAS. Love that guys style. Plus ice area confirmed! Not that there was much doubt, but it looks pretty big all the same. Hoping we finally get an artic Wolf Mon.
 
Rotom dex seems like a reaction to Whisper to me

Not trying to force a comparison between the series it's just what I thought of when first seeing it
 
Solgaleo is weak to fire lol, with a rehashed Clear Body ability and typing. Thankfully I love the design.

Rotomdex is amazing though.

New Alola image.
 
Might hint at something new for Sun and Moon:

Professor Kukui is the Alola region's dependable Pokémon professor. He lives near your home and looks out for you. He's passionate about his research into Pokémon moves and has sometimes taken direct hits from Pokémon when there was something to be learned from it. Sporting a white lab coat slung casually over his bare torso, he shows off his own unique style.
 
Damn meeting Pokémon through QR codes and a Ghost encyclopaedia that talks to you? Yo-kai Watch stays winning I guess as the competition tries to catch up 😏
 
So, a summary:

- ROTOMDEX
- Alola revealed to be comprised of 4 islands + 1 artificial island in the center
- Solgaleo and Lunala names confirmed
- Box legendaries types/abilities
- Share Pokemon info (Pokedex "seen" info I guess) with QR Codes
- Professor and Assistant names (Kukui and Lille)
- Hero/heroine's friend name (Hau)
- Gender and skin tone personalization
 
Just noticed Salamence confirms always flying battle models are still in...
 
Must admit the psychic typing is a tad disappointing since it's already super common. Would have been nice to have fire/steel and fairy/ghost.
 
The lunar legendary typing is pretty disappointing. 4x weakness to ghost and dark just like hoopa. Unless the meta change, the 'multiscale' will prove useless since dark move is everywhere. I like the design still tho, so still getting Moon first.
 
The fact that Solgaleo is the Sunne Pokémon and Lunala the Moone Pokémon is a bit annoying.

It's not like there can only be one Sun or Moon Pokémon...
 
Yeah, I think Fire/Steel and Ghost/Steel would've been cool. But meh.

Also, I now like the bat more, will probably get Moon.
 
Well the main character bracelets aren't mega bracelets, that's for sure...
