History WMG / PokemonSunAndMoon

[[WMG: Plumeria will have a Warm and Fuzzy Moment with Gladion]]
Team Skull's big sister, a guy with clear issues.....if the game doesn't do it fanfics will.
* Jossed.

[[WMG: The Sun mascot will be an [[Characters/DigimonMegaDigimonSpecialGroups Apollomon]] {{Expy}}.]]

As has been guessed by some [=YouTubers=]. The second Japanese trailer depicts a boy moving to Oahu with his mother; he has trouble getting used to his new surroundings and has difficulty making friends, until in-game text addressed to the player character and by extension him gives him the encouragement to play Pokemon and make friends with a group of classmates, in particular one named Hoku. Said boy has a [[DisappearedDad very similar]] [[OnlyChildSyndrome familial structure]] to that of the typical Pokemon protagonist, is seen wearing a rather similar outfit to the default male protagonist minus the hat, and vaguely resembles a younger version of him. Not only is he moving from Japan, but he's seen playing one of the 3DS ports of Pokemon Red or Green on the plane. So basically, the theory states the boy is analogous to the male player character, and Hoku is analogous to Hau, also supported by the fact that the boy chooses Litten and Hoku chooses Rowlet, much like how Hau is shown to always pick the starter weak to the player's. (A good part of Hawaii's population is Japanese, so there may be many {{Non Player Character}}s from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh as well.) If the player's region of origin is ever mentioned, it would be a nice way to "make everything come together", as the announcement trailer put it.

* [[spoiler: Jossed. He's a ReverseMole, and he definitely isn't one for the Aether Foundation.]]

* ...and jossed in the game, as of ''Sword and Shield'', Cosmoem's branched evolution is still version-exclusive, regardless of the player's activity.

[[WMG: The name of the Female PC is [[Disney/LiloAndStitch Lilo.]]]]

* Alolan Ninetails: '''[[Disney/{{Frozen}} Let It Go]]''': Ninetails stops holding back it's power and unleashes a barrage of ice spikes with a flick of it's paw. [[labelnote: Note]]I apologize for nothing. [[/labelnote]]

If it's a marshmallow, it will not only be a Dark-type, but also a [[VideoGame/PokemonSweetsVersion Vanilla-type!]]
* Going by additional types outside of VideoGame/PokemonSweetsVersion game, it could be a Molases/Marshmallow type.

Ralts becomes more legendary due to rarely observing humans, becoming a cryptid in the process. Kirlia grows miniature daggers on its arms whilst it's skirt forms into a single rounded point, again with fragments of gem. Gardevoir never dropped the Emotional Emphatic abilities it had as the previous 2 and became an androgynous [[Theatre/TakarazukaRevue Takarazuka performer]] & [[StageMagician Magician]] hybrid, thriving off the amazement feeling people and pokemon passes off. The head becomes more of a fluffy ponytail whilst adopting more support moves such as levitating allies, minor ice manipulation and of throwing powders. (reference to the Flower, Moon, Snow, Star and Cosmos troupes). this may have made more sense on Alola where Pokemon/Humans are both mellow, and that being an island nation prevented escape due to being too weak to swim or too far to teleport, justifying why Kirlia toughs up.

What, you thought that universe [[AbrotedArc aborted itself]] after you lost the run? No. It keeps going, and the villain's plan keeps moving. But this time the person who was supposed to rise up and stop them instead ran out of Pokémon and gave up their journey. No wonder there's universes where the bad guys win.

* As jossed in the game, as of ''Sword and Shield'', Cosmoem's branched evolution is still version-exclusive.

Basically, Universe 1 exists purely as a groundwork of how the franchise works as a whole. presumably AZ failed to resurrect Floette. in Universe 2, AZ managed to ressurect Floette but didn't leave any irradiated materials for Devon corp to find, this did however push development in technology due to the horrors of war which upgrades 2-way timetravel for Pokemon to cross-continental communication (as the GTS) instead, indirectly small differences occur such as Red lacking an Espeon (arguably, just to distance from his counterpart from ''Manga/PokemonSpecial''). Universe 3 plays mostly the same as universe 1, except for some unexplained reason, Cyrus decides to imprison both Time-space members with a Red Chain instead which may have caused dimensional tears from summoning Giratina, Cynthia outright references the Protagonists of Platinum when you battle her.

In the Pokemon universe, Human Psychics really are a thing; it's just that most of them are so situational all it does it give them minor {{telekinesis}} over their pokeballs and an affinity to psychic pokemon. One of the reasons they aren't taken seriously is their absolute insistence on being [[{{Clairvoyance}} clairvoyent]] when apparently that is [[WrongGenreSavvy not one of the powers being psychic gives.]] The other being overly fond on PstandardPsychicPstance. But nobody denies that Sabrina the Gym Leader isn't a frighteningly proficient psychic.

[[WMG: The games will fix several of the problems with the series while improving its strong points.]]
* The games will take a number of the previous installments' flaws and correct them as well as taking their innovative ideas and improving on them. This would be continuing what Gen V (e.g. straying away from some of the series' formulas such as having a meaningful final boss with proper build-up rather than simply a Champion for the sake of a Champion) and Gen VI (e.g. bringing the series into 3D, toning down the incessant low health beeping and obnoxious low health music in Gen V's case) began.
* Depending on one's opinions, this can be Zig-zagged in many ways:
** ''Sun and Moon'' definitely do have their share of shortcomings. In terms of flaws, they still have you yet to let up on the excessive Generation I fanservice (e.g. only Kanto Pokémon having Alola forms) that plagued Generation VI, although it is at least less instrusive and feels more natural this time, especially since the games offer tastes of all the other previous generations as well. The content of the post-game, while interesting, also still leaves a little to be desired.
** The strong points, however, are a fantastically pleasant surprise: You could make numerous arguments that ''Sun and Moon'' are among the most unique pair of Pokémon games yet, not least of which is doing away with the tired use of Gym Leaders and trying a fresh way of progressing through the adventure. The story is handled very skilfully- in addition to being more prominent than most previous Pokémon games, it is better planned, better paced and does not cram all of the climatic moments into one concentrated spot. They didn't pull off anything contradictory like making [[spoiler:Lusamine]] the leader of Team Skull for the sake of it, and an effort is made so that you actually bond with and care about the characters you meet as opposed to hearing the game tell you at the beginning, "Hey, these guys are your best buddies now, so you had better get used to it". Also, if you would like a final battle that feels meaningful and a true test to conclude your adventure: [[spoiler: These games serve as a reminder that you do not need to battle the villain to determine the fate of the world in order to make a good send-off for the story. The genuinely challenging showdown with the man who started you on your journey, coupled with a magnificent reprise of the main Pokémon theme, shows that all that is needed is to have a reason to care about the person whom you are fighting and what they stand for. It is a very fitting finale for the previous twenty years of Pokémon.]]

[[WMG: Different flavors of the Vanillite line]]
Fore example, a Grass/Ice Strawberry Vanillite or a Rock/Ice Rocky Road Vanillite.
** or a Fire/Ice Hot Fudge Vanillite that evolves into a banana split Vanilluxe

Ralts becomes more legendary due to rarely observing humans, becoming a cryptid in the process. Kirlia grows miniature daggers on its arms whilst it's skirt forms into a single rounded point, again with fragments of gem. Gardevoir never dropped the Emotional Emphatic abilities it had as the previous 2 and became an androgynous [[Takarazuka Takarazuka performer]] & [[StageMagician Magician]] hybrid, thriving off the amazement feeling people and pokemon passes off. The head becomes more of a fluffy ponytail whilst adopting more support moves such as levitating allies, minor ice manipulation and of throwing powders.

Gallade taps in its Fae side, and becomes more of a Kendo practitioner instead. which enables it to add [[NonElemental sound]] to its slashes as well as become more effective against ghosts. maybe some kind of [[Miko]]/Exorcist. Female Gardevoir would require a Dawn Stone whilst Gallade would need a Dusk stone instead.

* RuleOfSymbolism (and also potential [[VisualEffectsofAwesome for a stunning-looking battle]]).

Going off of the above theory, but not necessarily. Game Freak has been inserting more ShipTease as of late (the infamous Ferris Wheel scene in Black and White, the X-Transceiver side quest in Black 2 and White 2, the Ferris Wheel dates in both pairs of games, the fireworks scene with Shauna in X and Y, and quite possibly ''the'' closest thing to an OfficialCouple between main characters in the entire history of the games with Brendan and May in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire), with even the anime putting a bit more of a focus on Serena's crush on Ash than expected, and I don't see them stopping now. Going with the idea that she is TheMole, her betrayal will have a bit more weight to it, the idea being that she was trying to exploit him for his abilities the entire time, or that she was trying to make herself look even more unassuming. Making the poor guy cry would probably be a MoralEventHorizon in itself. If she isn't evil, it would be more genuine and come to a head with a major HeartwarmingMoment at the end. Since Lillie looks foreign, she would definitely need someone to introduce her to the region's culture, after all.

Considering how capable children younger than her have shown to be throughout the series, it wouldn't be shocking by now that they have a 13 or 14 year old girl among their ranks. And also considering how Looker is becoming a series regular, it wouldn't be out of nowhere if there is another Interpol subplot in these games. Maybe Team Skull is actually much more sinister and dangerous than they look, and Lillie was sent over to investigate them to see what they're truly up to; after all, people should have gotten by this point that any organization with "Team ___" in the name is guaranteed to be evil. She tries to keep you away from the whole business at first, not to mention her identity secret to not endanger you, Kukui, or Hau, but then realizes that you may be another one of those kids with a natural talent in Pokemon training who would eventually save the region, and the main kids [[CrowningMomentOfHeartWarming proceed to take down the organization together]].

[[WMG: Future Pokemon games will be more ShinMegamiTensei like]]

Since it has the Ghost type, its physical form is probably malleable and responsive to its psyche. Maybe it's the spirit of a person or Pokemon who died alone and unloved, and when people see its true form, what scares them to death is not how viscerally horrifying its appearance is, but instead the vicarious experience of that same desperate loneliness and fear it experienced just before it died. It disguises itself as Pikachu not only as a ploy for popularity, but also to protect the innocent from the spiritual agony that created it, that it now carries with it everywhere.
