Pokemon Sun and Moon reveals tons of scrapped features and ideas

Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

As part of the ongoing information leak from the Game Freak hack, more new details have been revealed regarding scrapped ideas and features for Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. To say that there’s a lot here would be an understatement.

The first feature is about something called “Guardians”. This would have been in places of Z Moves, which were a big hook in Pokemon Sun and Moon. Pokemon would be able to change their type based on the “Miracle Stone” and a “Guardian” avatar would appear next to them with the same type. “Guardians” were also technically planned to be a fifth move.

Different effects were planned on the type. As one example, Electric Guardians make all Pokemon the field super effective to Electric moves while Water Guardians bring down the speed of opposing Pokemon. Players could visit “Miracle Mountain” to receive these stones.

Pokemon Z scrapped details leaked

Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Following the launch of Pokemon X and Y on 3DS, Pokemon Z is something that was largely discussed within the fan community. Many thought that Game Freak would eventually come out with the game as a follow-up to the original Gen VI titles. That didn’t happen in the end, but specific details have now surfaced from the Game Freak hack / leak.

First up, Game Freak was thinking of having Zygarde come in two Complete forms, which are Forme X and Forme Y. For Forme X, we would have gotten a large wolf that hunts Xerneas as its prey. Forme Y would feature weaponry that was like an anti-aircraft. Game Freak would later repurpose both for 10% and 100% Zygarde.

Pokemon Sun / Moon cut content found – Flying Eevee evolution, mini Pokemon, raids, more

Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

The leaks are still going strong from the recent Game Freak hack, and fans have now found quite a bit of cut content from Pokemon Sun and Moon.

First, at one point a Flying-type evolution was being considered for Eevee. However, it seems that the design was too similar to a different fan-made design and “costs would be very high”. The note from Game Freak states: “If there is a game where Flying Eevee is the main character, or if there is high value in the game, then it is not worth the high cost.” Ultimately, it was put on hold. The leak also reveals a scrapped Fire-type regional Pikachu/Raichu evolution, but no further details are available.
