>The official Japanese Pokémon Twitter has information about the timing of the announcement on June 2nd. It confirmed that the information will be posted to the official Japanese website at 22:00 JST. That's 13:00 UTC, 14:00 BST, 15:00 CEST, 09:00 EDT, 06:00 PDT and 23:00 AEST.

It has been announced that Junich Masuda is to attend the Japan Expo in Paris this July. here, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pokémon, he will be hosting a special Master Class on July 7th, the first day of the expo.

What is this woodpecker everyone speaks of?
While I don't want the game to be spoiled so much with Sun/Moon, I'm confident they're not going to reveal more of the starters' lines so soon (which is really the only thing I care to know pre-game), so I hope we get a Mega or two. Or, they could reveal the Synchro evolution today, which would at least give them more announcement fodder with the coming months (as to who gets it/what they look like).

2 things for battles.
5 moves (however the 5th comes into play is a variable idk yet, could be like a "charge up special atk" under the right conditions).
Dual type attacks.
Example:
Steamblast
Fire/water
Have some complicated way of making it work.
- Resistant to one and not the other? half of the damage is doubled, half of the damage is reduced by half. Example: if the fire portion was gonna deal 100 damage at 1x, it will do 200. If the water portion was gonna deal 100 damage, it will deal 50.
- Weak to both? both halves of the damage are doubled.
- Resistant to both? both are halved.
- Not resistant or weak? base damage applies.
- Immune to one half and the other half goes through.
etc etc etc

>>26562201
>half of the damage is doubled half of the damage is reduced by half
So it does normal damage?
>>26562201
Do you think having 5 moves will make the game more offensive based or defensive based? More moves means more coverage so I'm thinking it would be more offensive.
>>26562224
>every sweeper runs 4 coverage and protect
>>26561896
Howdy fellow Arkansan. Right on the border between OK and AR. 5:01 AM
>>26562223
Each half could have different values. Like 50 fire and 150 water or something
>>26562201
Flying Press is already a dual-tupe attack. Check Bulbapedia or whatever to see how it works.
>>26561403

It's not a real dual-type attack however. Anon wants things like Fire Punch = Fire/Fighting, which I agree on. It'd make the game a lot more advanced.
>>26561403
Next month Masuda will reveal Zygarde role and return to Kalos in Sun and Moon?
>>26562201
I'd be interested to see moves divided into 'trees' where each move tree has a different set of moves and the number of moves Pokémon can learn wouldn't be fixed anymore. Some clever support pokemon and such could have more moves, but if you had an attack like Earthquake, that would limit your other options.
>>26562276
Part of the appeal of Pokémon is the simplicity of the mechanics. Flying Press has a good system for dual-type attacks. No need to overcomplicate things.

"HM'S REPLACED"
>yfw
They should replace them with FM(Field Moves) that take up a fifth moveslot that can't be used in battle. There can be all the ones we know and hate, along with some new ones like maybe:
Ride - (Lets you ride the Pokemon if it's compatible. About bike speed.)
Soar - (Lets you soar on the Pokemon over the Alola region like in ORAS, if compatible.)
Gather - (Lets your Pokemon go off for a minute or less and maybe come back with an item. Basically it bounds off-screen and will come find you in that short amount of time.)
>>26562310
That's not part of the appeal at all... In fact, the simplicity is what most players over the age of 13 dislike about the games.

So if it's 22:00 JST it will be 13:00 GMT?
>>26562243
LOL actually, I wrote it there because I was just listing off the most basic examples. I did notice it was 1x but it sorta didn't strike me as being redundant? Your workaround is fine too though.
Anyway, while it could be broken, it's actually not a very strong thing to implement. It's essentially making super effective hits weaker, but allowing more coverage? It's just so some pokemon just can't outright counter anymore.
>>26562051
It seems cozy to me
>>26562445
Well, if you want to continue being a filthy casual fan then sure. I want to enjoy the games more, and having more advanced battles would do that.

Memorizing more type interactions doesn't make battles more advanced. The major part of battles will still be predicting your opponent.

while it is 1x for the dual type move specifically, it shines when you contrast and compare it to single type moves.
If it was pure water and it was about to deal 100 damage against something that resists water... The damage would be halved, so 50 damage would be the output.
Now if it were fire/water move thats about to deal 100 base damage and the opponent only resists water and is weak to fire... 100/2 to share between both types = 50.
If 50 of the damage is doubled, that's 100. Then 50 of the damage is halved, making it 25. We get 125 damage instead of what would have been 50 if it was one type.
If it's hitting something that doesn't resist or is weak to either, then it'll hit for 50 of one type and 50 of the other. So that would sorta be the TRUE 1x damage?
Anyway the idea was to still be able to still be able to hit and potentially hit harder than a single type move, but not be able to specialize as well as a single type move.
dual type coverage vs single type damage potential. Single type moves would benefit more from hitting the weakness of the opponent. Dual types wouldn't benefit AS MUCH, but would still be able to do SOMETHING instead of being completely denied or resisted.
Some sites are reporting that they'll reveal some version exclusive Pokémon, I'm assuming they mean the box legendaries but where did they dget this news from?
