It'd be cool if you told us what we were looking at.

As if we needed more confirmation this is gen 7, from the press release http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-sun-and-pokemon-moon/
Also a bit offtopic, but amazing thing I just tried and found: amazingly enough, if you download the Pokemon Moon and Sun logo on the Pokemon.com Front page (NOT THE SUN AND MOON PAGE), they have the file name of "niji-11-en.jpg". This pretty much confirms the leaker since it uses the codename "Niji", meaning we're getting the new Nintendo console this year too, and it launches with Zelda!

Sorry but this is pretty shoddy evidence. I don't really see how this specifically means "you can transfer from XYORAS to SM which is a new gen" rather than transferring between games. I'm not saying it's impossible but just jumping at any possibility no matter how vague seems kind of... not helpful at all.
Yes. Kalos is unfinished, we have two event mons and the Zygarde formes that have never seem the light of a game, and there has never been a region that was not visited twice in its generation of introduction. So yes, I do believe they have no business leaving us with XY alone.
I'm just gonna say how zygarde's (the gen VI legendary) new forms being revealed for a gen VII game would be ridiculous and that pretty much says "we where going to do a third gen VI version but decided to do gen VII instead"
and with that I'm officially dropping the topic
anywaydetective pikachu time since we have less that a year for a new gen, looks like we can expect one of two things:
1- few pokemon will be leaked since there's no time
2- leaks with loads of pokemon

Honestly I really wouldn't be sad that we don't get to visit Kalos again. Something completely new - a new region seems to be strongly implied if not outright confirmed - would be wonderful.
For anyone wondering, this is Buckingham Palace.
Generation V broke the trend of having old-gen remakes in any Gen III or later gen, so I fail to see the "never been a region that was not visited twice in its generation of introduction" as a valid argument. Game Freak is not afraid of breaking precedent. Also, I'm pretty sure this wouldn't even be the first time we've had questions left unanswered, not by a long shot. Maybe you can have whatever questions you had answered in 2023 when we get our X and Y remakes.
Seriously, if Kalos doesn't get expanded in Sun Moon, then Kalos is the worst region ever!
Ohmygawd. I just saw the direct. I am freaking out in excitement.
Because the direct says it brings all regions together, I'm going to guess this might be the fabled all regions game. Or, at least we can go to Kalos or Kanto. I'm guessing this because in some of the concept art shown a few pages back we have a Blastoise in a truck, and numerous other Pokemon from Gen 1.

I think the "bring all regions together" was just a nod at Pokemon Bank being compatible with the gen 1 rereleases. I highly doubt GF would give us an all regions game (and tbh I wouldn't want that terror).
The best bit of information to go off of is the phrase "new world" in the official tagline. If they said something like "revisit this or that region" then there wouldn't be much of an argument to be had.
That was never stated.
It didn't say all regions come together; it said "It all comes together", which is... pretty vague, it could mean anything especially in an anniversary title. It's kind of one of those stock phrases for a latest thing in a series.
I've been there, and that's not it.
But why didn't they show us any new Pokemon at all?
At least the box art legendaries?

Probably because they plan to release that information later, like it says on the Sun/Moon page.
Pokemon.com said:
Who knows at what rate this info will come or what it will be, but I'd like to think they'll at least show us the starters pretty soon (I hope).
We have maybe nine months before the release, they probably just want to pace themselves by having more press releases to stay in the news or something.
That being said, the XY starters and box legends were revealed nine months before release...
Because we have months before the game is released. They're going to draw this out as long as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if the next time we get news is the next CoroCoro.

Is that a new Pokemon on the right side of the pic ?!
Is that a new Pokemon on the right side of the pic ?!
An excellent question
and the only answer I can come up with is that since there's so little time before the games' launch they already have made deals to only make any announcement of new pokemon by certain magazines (wich may or may not start with coro)
What if. Now hold on everyone.
Remember everyone saying these games might be Gen 6.5? What if the games we know ourselves as Gen 6 are actually a preview set of games for what's REALLY going to come in Gen VII? I mean isn't it possible that these games might actually be used to continue Zygarde's story or other such stories?
