Pokémon Sun & Moon OST Gets Global iTunes Release

That's awesome. Nothing in the soundtrack really stands out so far.

Man... It's weird how when you're a kid you absorb Pokémon's names like a sponge, but as an adult it's suddenly much harder.

I'm like "I have Pikachu, Grimer, Gengar, that starter seal, that werewolf thing, and woodpecker on my team."

And no Danny DeVito to be heard from. On a side note, it's also not Ryan Reynolds, so I'm assuming that the whole cast is going to be different from the movie. What's really bugging me is that I can't place who's doing the voice for DP.

Considering DeVito's reaction to him possibly playing Pikachu was "What the fuck is Pokemon" I'm not shocked. As for who's actually playing him, there's no info on that yet, but I'm sure there will be a behind the voice actors or something about it soon.

(Originally posted on the E3 thread but thought I'd post it here too for discussion)
According to several sources, Pokémon Switch is going to be a remake of Pokémon Yellow with two versions: One with Pikachu as your partner and one where Eevee is your partner. Connectivity between these games and Pokémon GO is going to be prominent, you can even get in-game rewards by connecting the two. Capturing Pokémon is also going to work like it does in Pokémon GO, rather than the traditional system. There is also going to be an online hub for players to interact. An announcement is supposedly on the horizon as the game is set to be revealed this month prior to E3, so we don't have to wait long to see if there's any truth to this.

Looks like these games are really happening, guys.

Yup, new trailer just hit.




I'm not actually that interested and the "petting the pokeball" part is the dumbest thing I think I've ever seen, but hot damn do these guys know how to make good game trailers. Between this and the Pokemon Go one from a few years ago, they're just fantastic at hyping you up.

Pokemon Sword and Shield New Pokemon Direct Set for June 5

Pokemon Sword and Shield New Pokemon Direct Set for June 5

I give you credit for looking up a thread that was nearly a year from the front page. But yes, this is exciting, and possibly concerning, depending on if the game will appear at E3 now at the Nintendo direct. Either way, this and the Pokemon Conference tomorrow should be fun.

[RepentantSky]

Detective Pikachu will be coming to the Switch, with not only a proper ending (as the game didn't finish explaining a theory that the movie confirmed) but one that differs from both the original outing, and the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBeEyYupWEM

Other things from the Pokemon conference include Pokemon Home: https://gematsu.com/2019/05/pokemon-home...martphones

Which allows users to transfer anything from the Pokemon Bank, Pokemon Go, Pokemon Let's Go, and Sword and Shield into the app which will be on Smartphones and the Switch, which means any shines you collected from Pokemon that ended up in any of these locations, as well as other rares, or even Pokemon you are simply attached to, can be traded from place to place, and can be used to make trades with others.

Pokemon Sleep was also announced along with Pokemon Go + Plus: https://gematsu.com/2019/05/pokemon-slee...martphones

This rather weird idea seeks to turn sleep into entertainment by somehow connecting it with Pokemon Go, and giving you rewards. The Pokemon Go + Plus device is similar to the Pokemon Go Plus that already exists, as it does all the same things as that device, but also helps benefit you while sleeping. The idea is strange and has already created memes, but the idea is promote healthy sleeping habits, so it's hard to say it's all bad, regardless of how effective it ends up being.

Finally, Pokemon Masters was announced for Smartphones and looks to release this calendar year: https://gematsu.com/2019/05/dena-develop...martphones

The game is likely going to be pretty simple, as it's developed by the same team who made Magikarp Jump, which is one of few free to play mobile games that had an ending, and yes, it's as simple as it sounds. However the idea of fighting all the most iconic trainers in Pokemon game history from Gym Leaders to the Elite 4's to Red, sounds good to me. Hopefully we'll see more about it soon.
