okay, listen, my theory about pokemon sun/moon: They Are Going To Be a Two-Region Game Connected to Kalos

  • Nintendo has never not released some sort of third version
  • but they HAVE shaken up traditions, like there being two sequels in Black/White 2
  • There are unused areas and plot points in Kalos like:
  • the locked doors in the Power Plant
  • the TRAIN STATION that currently goes to nowhere in Couriway Town
  • THIS DUDE:

  • There were unexplained ghost girls too but moving on:
  • THE DEFINING FEATURE OF AN ENTIRE TOWN WAS ITS AUSPICIOUS SUNDIAL:
  • a Hex Maniac in Anistar mentions that THERE ARE MOONDIALS TOO

AND OKAY SO:

  • ZYGARDE gets introuded to be much more complicated than first presented in XY, with a variety of formes and shit? Pretty much being a core being that gathers little symbiotes up to be a bigger creature
  • Even though four new Zygarde variants are introduced in the movies/anime, they’ve yet to make their way into the game
  • The THIRD MEMBER of the Legendary Trio has new formes. that have not been in the game.
  • What do we know about Zygarde Cores?
  • From Bulbapedia: “ [Zygarde cores] are self-aware and can communicate via telepathy, monitoring the ecosystem around them. Zygarde Cores get their energy through photosynthesis. “

HE IS POWERED THROUGH THE SUN

  • Now this is is obviously all conjecture, but THEORY/HOPE:
  • Pokemon Sun/Moon may be the Johto to Kalos’ Kanto
  • 3DS carts could wholly hold two regions – They can hold up to 8GB, and ORAS clocked in right around 2; yeah, it may chug but it is DOABLE, entirely
  • The Nintendo Direct (and Magearna) hae shown there ARE new pokemon, so it’s almost certainly not “just” a 3rd iteration of Gen 6
  • BUT there is a lot of conjectural evidence showing we are not done in Kalos, like a literal train station
  • and there are a LOT of sun and moon themes present in Kalos
  • Maybe I’m making things up and seeing patterns in tea leaves because I’d love another two-region, 16 badge adventure
  • but here is my Game Theory thank you for your time
