How about trumpet-based remixes of Hawaiian style music?

What? I'm saying what we saw is one of many islands, as in all of Hawaii's islands will be represented in the game.

The region is called Alola.
Ah, my bad. I guess I misinterpreted your post. :X

Chances of getting a new typing? I figure it'd make sense for Sunlion to be Fire/Light versus Moonbat's Dark/Rock.

That island isn't even Hawaii, it's Oʻahu. Like as in, that is a small piece of a much larger collection.

I can't unsee the apple now.
Light type ain't happening. I'm predicting Fairy/Dark for out Moon Legend tbh

Seems that way. No official confirmation other than skin but we see the guy trainer wearing two different shirts in the trailer.
Eh, Light is far too similar to Fairy to create only a gen after. Also Dark is mean to represent evil and trickery rather than elemental shadow.
Moonbat is almost certainly Fairy Type, seeing as how Moonlight and Moon Blast are both Fairy.
Yes, there are more skin colors than in X and Y and the trainer wore different shirts.

Lmao stop! I can't unsee
We know for sure you can pick your skin tone, and there are two slightly different shirts seen, so we're assuming/hoping clothing is back too.
all threeintroidle animations are adorable imo
For real though what kind of hat is the girl trainer wearing?
fuuuuuuuuu
They're going the FF8 route with trainers, which is interesting. Full-length bodies.

_/¯Hell yeah! That was my favorite part of Pokemon XY was getting to new towns to see what new clothes I could get. Too bad that by the time you hit the 4th town, you had seen every style of clothing minus what you could get at the boutique.

I've been in the other thread all morning. Anyone here nice that Overworld and battle models are one I the same now?
Could we finally have pokemon followi ng us again?
I'm such a broken record at this point, but no one is talking about this and it has always been a feature everyone wants back.

They aren't, the overworld models for the protagonists are very low poly while the battle models are like Gen VI's.
The first five minutes was everyone getting it out of their systems pretty much lol

Way to much, this is an actual win where nothing is truly awful.
I wanna take people back to Gen V reveals.
That fuckin sucked. None were compelling.

So maybe every battle model has a low poly model to go in the overworld?
Buy some
I really want it to return, but I don't want to set expectations only to be disappointed.
This trailer was way better than I expected so I can't help but feel like the next thing we see of this game is gonna find some way to disappoint.

Hoenn was a tropical region and it still had an ice cave. Maybe we'll get the same here.
And I just thought about it, there's probably going to be a lot of surfing island to island.
YES
I liked all of the Unova starters when they were revealed. It's just that I hated every single third evo of theirs which is a first for me.
The Gen V starters were fucking excellent, although these three give them a run for their money.

Absolutely possible and I REALLY hope that is the case!
It does snow in Hawaii. They have mountains. https://weather.com/news/news/hawaii-snow-mauna-kea
"It snows here every year, but only at the very summits of our 3 tallest volcanoes (Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and Haleakala)," said Ken Rubin, geology and geophysics professor at the University of Hawaii. "The snow level almost never gets below 9,000 feet in Hawaii during the winter, but since these mountains are taller than 13,000 feet, 13,000 feet, and 10,000 feet, respectively, they get dusted with snow a few times a year. It rarely stays on the ground for more than a few days though."

Hmmm, interesting...
Hopefully we go to a snowy peak, love me some snow areas in video games!

Back during the reveal of the DexNav (which needs to return by the way), I remember Masuda saying how random encounters aren't going away. But this is interesting.

The only reason I could see them not doing it is because making a walking animation for all 800+(?) Pokémon would be too much work.
