Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are on track to being the biggest releases of the franchise to date. I just got back from a brief press conference held by Game Freak themselves at the Carrot Tower. Junichi Masuda was there, among others. Look online if you wish to confirm for yourself. Today I’ll be answering your questions.
>What was shown?
A video was played for us, and then pamphlets that resembled vacation/cruise brochures were handed out. It all very fit the theme of the presentation, being tropical. The video showed the Legendary Pokémon, a quick shot of the region’s map, the trainers, the starter Pokémon, and some gameplay. A lot of it was pieced together with clips of previous generation games, kind of doing a side-by-side comparison. The brochures included all of that plus plenty of other things. I wasn’t able to snag a copy as we had to return them into a bin by the door. I’m sure someone else could’ve sneaked one out or gotten photos somehow, though. Expect those relatively soon.
[Cont]
>What are the Legendaries?
For Pokémon Sun, there is a Pokémon called クラリコ, the Clarity Pokémon, and for Pokémon Moon, ボイド, the Void Pokémon. クラリコ is very pretty, with smooth edges, light colors, clear definition. Its main color scheme is white, orange, and pink, and it is a Fire/Fairy type.. ボイド is crude, sharp, asymmetrical, distorted. Its main color scheme is black, blue, and teal, and is a Psychic/Dark type.
>What are the starters?
While no names were shown, the designs were revealed. The Grass Starter is a green and pink Stegosaur inspired creature. It had a big head, its tongue was poking out, its eyes were crossed but it looked funny and cute, and there were a row of leaves down its back like the plates of a Stegosaurus. The Fire Starter was an orange cat. The fur on its torso was replaced with a gray smoke cloud, and firey stripes like a Tiger's zigzag around it. It sat on its bottom like a small child, holding both front paws in the air. The Water Starter was a blue and white hermit crab with something like a jetpack strapped to its back in place of its shell. It looked very excited, with its mouth wide open in a smile.
[Cont]
>What’s the region?
As expected, it’s a tropical region. Not much else can be said. The video panned across a map rather quickly, but four islands were seen, one being much larger in scale than the other three.
>What are the trainers?
The Trainers are very tropical/beach oriented. The male is a relaxed looking kid who sports a surfer-type of vibe. He wears long swim trunks, sandals, and what I find the most entertaining, a pilot’s helmet of some sort. A PokéBall emblem is on the front. He has long, brown dreadlocks. The female trainer is a tomboy with an apparent attitude. She wears skinny neon blue jeans, an oversized t-shirt, white sneakers, and a hunter’s/trapper hat. She has short, messy black hair with a fringe almost covering one eye.

I'm a cunting faggot, but there's a surprising side to me
1/2
>Any new Megas?
Weren’t shown.
>Any Kanto ‘mons shown?
None expect Pikachu during the introduction scene with the Game Freak logo.
>How long was the clip?
Maybe two minutes, plus or minus. Most of it was the same things repeated, just shown off from new angles or in different ways.
Alright, that should clear most of it. Have any other questions, just ask. Also, I know today is April Fool’s out in the US for you guys, but Japan is a day ahead, so the Saturday conference is bound to spill into whatever’s going on here. Sorry for the inconvenience.
>expecting any credibility
>let alone on April 1st
>The Fire Starter was an orange cat
CONFIRMED!!
Just FYI, there actually was a Game Freak investors meeting (I suppose) earlier today.

Thanks for sharing your keen insights with us anon. We'll let you know the test results as soon as we have determined you're full of shit.

Except it's not you freaking idiot. It's still Friday in Japan. You blew it up so early.
is it wrong that i don't care if it's fake or not? it's pretty interesting, anons
>>25789595
Japan is twelve hours ahead, making it day time there.
>the name of the Void Pokemon is literally just the word Void
ok sure
> The Grass Starter is a green and pink Stegosaur inspired creature. It had a big head, its tongue was poking out, its eyes were crossed but it looked funny and cute, and there were a row of leaves down its back like the plates of a Stegosaurus.
Think you're slick but you're not
>>25789606
plenty of pokemon have really basic names in japanese, vaporeon is literally called 'showers'
not that that makes anything more legitimate but yeah
>>25789606
>what is THUNDER
>what is VOLCANO
>>25789607

also
>not pink
>not cross eyed
>no tongue
>sprite
JUST
>>25789616
Yeah, but legendaries' names are transliterated when localized: Reshiram, Xerneas, Palkia, etc. This would mean that the Pokemon would literally be called Void in English. This obviously wouldn't happen. Duh.
>>25789511
>stego
i really want to use a grass start this gen because I haven't since 3rd but i don't want another slow bulky grass that eats shit to everything
>>25789632
Then why isn't Zapdos Thunder?
>>25789632
Why can't it's name be Voido? Also, have you ever heard of Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, or the countless other legendaries with different names in English?
Die.
Have mercy this is some April Fool's bullshit.
>>25789607
/thread
>check date
>april 1st
this is gonna be a long day
>>25789643
Every legendary since Gen 1, then. Why is this an issue for you?
Every single legendary SINCE GEN 1 has been just a transliteration of the Japanese name. If that's not enough for you, then I don't know what's wrong with you.
>>25789664
>>25789645
>>25789607

WOW VERY GOOD SLEUTHING DETECTIVE
ITS ALMOST AS IF GENERIC IDEAS ARENT USED FOR STARTERS
IM SURE THERE ISNT AN ORANGE CAT THO
OR A BLUE CRAB
OH YEAH
>>25789511
Those starters sound like shit and I'm worried because this all sounds very legitimate.
They all started off sounding cool but then progressively became more retarded.

Fraid not guys! This is actually trending on twitter and facebook right now within several social circles, as a few others who attended the conference are telling pretty much everyone about it. Not surprising though, honestly. They show the world in literally two more days.

BE EASY GOD
Hey guys, I got Sun and Moon info. There's gonna be Pokemon and shit, they're Pokemon that look like Pokemon. Oh yeah, and there's gonna be some water and some caves. The water is pretty watery and the caves are pretty cavey. They new legends are pretty legendary and the new starters are startery. I'm not allowed to disclose anymore information at this point. You don't have to believe everything I say but I want you to believe everything I say.
>>25789688
This. OP is probably legit. Get ready boys.
>>25789699
You sound like a child and judging by the state of the board I'm willing to believe it
>Yfw it's real and everyone will think it's fake because it's April First
Probably fake though, but I'm gonna laugh if it isn't.
>>25789708
By this time tomorrow, we'll probably know alot more about this, with official art and game play footage.
>>25789688

>>25789688
It's not. Nothing is trending on Twitter with anything you are describing

I really like

Ehh...
>He has long, brown dreadlocks.
Ha ha ha, no.
>>25789747
maybe it's trending in some autistic board. wait...
>>25789746
check Masuda's twitter
>>25789747
Trends are location based you fucking idiot. you know they sell your information too right?
>>25789763
Mine is always set to global, unless there is a keyword you want to share?

Well, we know that there is a countable number of legendaries, so why don't you try to count all the others with differing names yourself.
Here, I'll try for you: 0.
>>25789781
>hermit crab with jet pack
ITS AN ASTRONAUT
>>25789747
Are you in any of the social circles with friends who happen to have been to this conference? Are you on Facebook with any? That's what I thought. My source is my fiancé, who's brother does the day security shit at Carrot tower, where said conference was held. He obviously does a good job, which is sad, because no pictures for proof, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have loose lips himself. Everything he's told me, everything my friends, Oni and Ryuko, have told me on twitter via message, and everything that is said here, it all matches. Just you wait, by tomorrow, it'll be common knowledge.
>>25789752
yeah, as long as character customization is in, this wouldn't be a huge deal. If not this will be the first time I pick the female character.
>>25789794
And you lost me. Nice ruse cruise, anon.
>mfw tomorrow it turns out he was telling the truth
>>25789773
Omg anon how can you tell
>>25789763
>check Masuda's twitter
No I was referring to all the "other people" that attended the conference spilling info about it
>>25789794
Hahaha holy fuck
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>25789790
Even
Better?
>>25789778
マギアナ can be transliterated as Magearna. It's the same name.
>>25789817
ボイド can literally be translated to Boido. Your fucking point, faggot?
>>25789794
>Ryuko
April's fools.
>>25789827
OK, never mind. You're allowed to believe whatever you want.

>>25789511
>ボイド, the Void Pokémon

Actually, there are! Oni and Ryuko are pretty good friends too, but honestly, I wish I had Oni all to myself sometimes...>>25789839
>>25789874
>"Seel" the Seal Pokemon
So, do you have any actual EVIDENCE to back your claims? Or are we supposed to just take this on good faith?
>>25789874
Freezer the freeze Pokemon.
Fire the flame Pokemon
Thunder the electric Pokemon.
Jap names are retarded.
>>25789899
Poor anon. Several people collaborate the same story, and you're still as skeptical as a 6.5 fag. I'm curious though too. OP, is there any way to get any kind of proof at all?
>>25789897
>>25789874
>Krabby the crab pokemon
>Krookodile the crocodile pokemon
>Bellsprout the bell-sprout pokemon
etc
>>25789936
At least those where puns.
The apparent void pokemon is literally named "Void" in Japanese. Not Voidy, not Voeid. Void.
>>25789926
I have been rused several times in the past. I want to believe, but...This kind of shit has happened before, and I don't want to get my hopes up only to find out I had been played for a fool once again.
>>25789955
Freezer the freeze Pokemon.
Fire the flame Pokemon
Thunder the electric Pokemon.
>>25789955

Explain
>>25789955
I bet you'll try and convince me Seel is a pun.
>>25789956
I know how you feel man... But we can at least enjoy it, and if it's fake, eh, but... If these guys are all right, then cool, you know? You can say that you were there, and saw it all happen.
>>25789874
>>25789897
>>25789936
Let's not forget Darkrai literally translates to DarkDark.
>>25789976
I suppose so. Here's hoping this is real, or that at the very least, it's a fun ride.
>>25789985
An actual translation would be more like Darrk or Daark because it's a portmanteau.
>>25789986
That's the spirit man! So, what do you think the region is based off of? I personally hope it's Australia, or Madagascar. Lemur, kangaroo, seriously dope ideas, and dolphins.
>m-man I really hope it's real
>this random text dump along with some blurry image looks so legit guys!
>his backless claims could really be real!
>4 hours into it timmy makes a post admitting it was him all along
Everytime, why do people still fall for this?
>>25789985
But it's called Darkrai in English, not Darkdark. Void would be called Void in English.
Also, ボイド is the Japanese word for "void"--it's not just an English word like freezer or thunder written in Japanese. It would be understood in Japanese as that word. How could anyone think there would be a box legendary called Void (being understood as the word "void" in both Japanese and English)? How can this possibly be explained more clearly?
>>25790003
Just try to have fun with it, friend.
>>25790003
I don't see any photos, do you? And I just checked, there's no Timmy thread. I think you're just mad because you don't like the info, and if it's real, you don't get what you want. Sound about right?
>>25789998
>Australian region
I would actually really like that. Oh, or maybe one based on Ireland? Place may not have the coolest animals, but it really is beautiful. Actually, British Isles region in general would be nice, there would be more to explore that way. Though a Great Barrier Reef expy in Pokemon would make for a fantastic place to explore as well. Madagascar would also be nice.
>>25789501
go to bed timmy
>>25790027
That would be amazing! I'd love all of those!
>>25789634
A good secondary typing that resists Flying could help that. Maybe Grass/Steel.
>>25790016
Says who? Are you Nintendo of America, or Europe? Last I checked, they can rename it whatever they want, like a French Gengar being Ectoplasmia.
>>25790039
Pokemon has so much potential for great locations. I'm actually really excited!
Sort of unrelated, but does anyone know the exact time we're going to find out about Sun and Moon? When's that coming on?
>>25790017
No.
>>25790024
>I don't see any photos
I was just making a wide claim about the shit that happens with most of these "leaks"
>And I just checked, there's no Timmy thread
What?
>I think you're just mad because you don't like the info
No, you fuck. I'm just wondering how the fuck people keep falling for this shit, even though it's happened over and over again, with 90% of the time it being that Timmy baiting retards into believing that some fakemon or random set of "info" is real.
>>25790053
Even if they renamed it, it would still literally be the word for "void" in Japanese. That's a problem. Freezer and Thunder and whatever else aren't Japanese words. ボイド is a cognate; Freezer and Thunder are just transliterations. That's the difference.
GET HYPE.
>>25790067
Have you seen Timmy here? No. Timmy went to bed. If it was his, wouldn't he have popped up by now? Honestly?
>>25790083
What, why, what's going on?!
>>25790064
I don't know the time, but it's on the 3rd.
Happy April fool's everyone. I spent some time writing up the bare bones of this, but when the Masuda tweet came out, I had to jump on it and retconned my original idea.
Until next time, see ya
>>25790088
No, because he lets this shit sit for a few hours until he reveals it was him all along.
>>25790101
>No tripcode
>Space between name
WEW
>>25790101
Oh shut up you piece of shit. I literally just told you Timmy wasn't here, and you go and namefag because you're a little bitch? No, fuck you! That's not even Timmy's sig, cuckface.
>>25789538
Holy shit, your source? Masuda's Twitter?
>>25790100

Oh. That's disappointing.
>>25790101

>>25790111
>so new he doesn't even know about post timers
Of course newfags are the kind of people that believe these "leaks"
>>25790126
And you obviously don't know that pass users don't have them. Newfags ARE the worst, so maybe you need to btfo m8.
>>25790146

>>25790163
Nice try pal, but he's right. Well, you're both sorta right. Pass user don't have that either.>>25790169
Dude, he didn't do it, there's two other threads on this exact conference, and it's definitely confirmed, despite being April fools day.
>>25790169
No anon. Just. No. Your ignorance is only surpassed by your arrogance. This conference is confirmed, so it's not a fake leak, as Masuda tweeted it himself.
>>25790073
You must be very fun at parties. If you are ever invited.
Also, your argument is very stupid so just stop.
Recreation because I'm bored, but it's obviously fake.
>>25790241
I actually kind of like the Legendary designs, very eldritch.
>>25789602
Which means it's 13:12 in japan, not Saturday.
>>25790257
Actually no retard, its 5 on pm
>>25790241
I do like the designs in any case.
>>25789985
i thought rai meant lightning. raikou? raichu?
>>25790241
pretty cool. starters are simple and good and the legendaries are fuckin evangelion tier

Nobody in their right mind would have any sort of positive expectations for this game
>>25793284
Is this confirmed?
>>25793284
Didnt he also work on FRLG, DP and other good games?
>>25793010
Even if it's real, you anti-zodiac fags will call it a jaguar or something to try to prove the zodiacfags wrong. GameFreak could outright say they do base the fire starters on the zodiac and you would still argue against it because you're all close minded.
>>25789810
Except OP said he was there. This guy didnt
>>25793284
They purposely gimped ORAS so that Sun Moon would stand out even more as an anniversary game, I'm pretty sure
>>25793284

>>25789544
Box lengendary names resist change the most. This is intentional
>>25793444
While the cat isn't in the actual Chinese Zodiac, it is still a part of the mythology so it can still count if we got a cat Fire starter.
>>25794035
Tigers are cats you fucking moron.
I'm only commenting to see what my name will be
>>25794064
Just go to /v/ for that.
They're on the hunt for Anthony Burch.
Nice fake, but those starters would be nice

>>25794156

>>25794178
No but these dubs certainly did
>>25794828
Look at my get
I'm a firm believer of fake until proven real, but this looks legit
I'm guessing
Stegosaur Starter
>Grass/Rock or Grass/Ground
Tiger Starter
>Fire/Fighting or Fire/Dark
Crab Starter
>Water/Steel or Water/Electric
The Stegosaur is going to evolve into just a big ass tanksaur. The Tiger is gonna turn into some genie knock off Tiger cloud thing with one eye. And the crab is gonna become some kind of astronaut.
>>25794862
It's already been proven fake. The name of the Moon legendary is literally the word for "void" in Japanese. This isn't a situation like the Japanese names Freezer or Thunders (which are transliteration of English words into Japanese)--it is literally a cognate of the English word void that is used as such in Japanese. This Pokemon would also be called Void in English because every single other legendary after Gen 1 has the same name in English and Japanese. There will never be a Pokemon whose name is a word in both languages. That's all the proof that is necessary to debunk this. The faker didn't understand Japanese or Pokemon naming conventions well enough.
>>25795123
>It's already proven fake
>Says his own personal belief because he thinks he knows Game Freak
Also, it's not he Japanese word for Void, it's the phonetic translation, which we've seen before. Meaning, it could be translated back to English as Voido or Boido, or whatever else they see fit. Do you really think a fucking name is enough to make Game Freak shiver in their pants?
>>25795156
OK have fun with your box legendary Boido whose name literally means "void" in Japanese. Believe what you fucking want.
We find out anything new yet, or are we still just arguing?
Also, this new layout is just terrible. Curse you, April Fools!
I'm guessing this is Timmy's attempt at a "convincing" fake leak. >>25788242
Also, where the hell did the OP go? 4 posts and he ditches the thread? There's been much better threads like this in the past. Kinda disappointing.
>>25794862
You are wong
>>25789641
The Kanto legendary bords are the only one that have different names in different languages. But starting with gen 2 they always have the same name.
>>25795518
Don't even start with them. They are allowed to think there will actually be box legendaries named Void and Claric, no matter how stupid it is.
Lies all lies
Full of Shit friendo
Clarity Fake right here
Full of Shit part 2
>>25789511
>Void, the void Pokémon
>>25795739
>>25795751
Literally nothing like OP described them. Good job. I'm sure you can debunk him by also finding a Stegosaur or a Tiger Fakemon too, right? Fuck off.
I ran it through google translate
>クラリコ
Classico...?
>ボイド
Void
Why would you name one of the main legends 'void'?
>>25797448
Because OP is really stupid.
>>25789794
i literally laughed out loud
i just want you to know that lol
>>25797448
>>25797468
Zapdos japanese name is literally Thunder. You realize the names in Japanese and the English versions are usually totally different? And before you say they never change it for legendaries, look at the newest fucking legend, Magearna. Her Jap name literally translates to Magaina, and "Void"'s Jap name literally translates to Boido. So shut the fuck up and stop acting like you know how Game Freak works, you fucking faggots.
>>25797583
Magiana's name was written as such before the official transliteration Magearna was released. It's the same name. Zapdos is Gen 1 and Gen 1 uses completely different naming styles.
>>25797583
And how the fuck are you defending Boido anyway? That's seriously a reasonable name for you? What a fucking idiot.
>>25797628
Okay, Gertrude. Whatever you say.
>>25797645
Okay, Dolores.
>>25797651
Sure, Patti.

>>25793444
Wew laddio
hey um
If this hasn't outright been disproven yet
The initial series of posts from OP are each less than a minute apart. He could have been posting from two devices but the fact that it was all typed up as a cohesive thing and the fact that it's all under the same trip makes me think that it's multiple people, aka Timmy turner and his band of tricksters

you do realize the cooldown time for replies varies depending on your post history? new threads add the most time, images add more, and texts posts add a little. but if you haven't posted anything within 24 hours your cooldown time is clear for at least three text posts. stop being a new fag

You literally dont know how japanese works if you dont realize that Magearna's japanese name is ALSO supposed to be Magearna, "Magiana" with the "gia" pronounced like "Gee-ya".
Ever since gen 2, legendary names have ALWAYS been consistent across languages, and they wouldn't call a legendary Void.
Also the fact that you dont seem realized that Boido is the only possible way to spell void in japanese shows even further your lack of knowledge about the language.

>ボイド is the Japanese word for "void"--it's not just an English word like freezer or thunder written in Japanese.
Yes it is you retard.
ボイド = Boido = how the Japanese pronounce "void" which is not a Japanese word, it's an English loan word. But by all means, keep pretending you know Japanese because you're some weeaboo fuck on 4chan.
