Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon

Sure, Latios.

I was playing the demo and somebody said to come see them in 3 days. Does this mean that there are new events on different days?

[mikey]

Very much so, yes.  I think there are 3 or 4 daily events left.  Off the top of my head, there's that person, a birthday in 10 or so days, and the ferry will open in a couple weeks

[cashwarrior1]

The ferry opens like a week before the release.

On a different topic (sorry, I lurk too much on Smogon--I suspect the one thing my spare time activities have in common is over-analysis), poor Kommo-o is going to have a difficult time crafting a moveset:

If it uses both Dragon- and Fighting-type moves like its typing suggests, it's Fairy bait.

If it also adds super-effective coverage for Fairies (Steel's fine because Steel/Fairy types can't come in for free on an anti-Fairy coverage move, but Poison is likely preferred because Fighting hits those Steel/Fairies for neutral anyway and Azumarill is neutral to Steel but weak to Poison), Kommo-o can't get through Aegislash.

If it adds super-effective coverage for Aegislash (and Steel/Ghosts), Kommo-o has no room left for boosting moves, U-turn, etc.

Guess Kommo-o is praying that Aegislash will be banished to Ubers again, but if my suspicions that the Ultra Beasts have Genesect-like BSTs are correct, I think Gen 7 OU is going to be so high-powered that stuff like Aegislash, Genesect, and Hoopa-Unbound will be unbanned from OU.

Speaking of Kommo-o, I was just playing the Sun and Moon demo, and it took me ages to figure out how to take the photos.

Here's hoping for Hidden Ability Scrappy...?

That being said, a moveset of:
- Close Combat
- Poison Jab
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
Doesn't seem too bad. Do we know any other moves it gets yet (or was that data removed from the demo)?

As far as we can tell, moveset data was replaced with long series of the move Pound.

I'm thinking that replacing Close Combat with a Dragon-type move provides less redundant coverage (especially since the current moveset can't hit Ghosts super-effectively or at least with a STAB with 1.5x the power...and Gengar comes in for free on 2 out of 3 moves).

Oh yeah there's a drug deal going down in two weeks

Just read it up--official Japanese twitter has revealed TCG cards of the starters' final evolutions (so we get Japanese names, but not typings). Would reveals like this have ever occurred if the demo didn't leak all those new Pokemon images?
