I want to see:

Fire/Fairy, Grass/Electric and Water/Bug starters
A single dad character.
A Dark-type Gym.
Region based on either Australia or Egypt.
Rival becoming a member of the criminal gang.
Your mom as the Champion character.
More unique Pokemon with previously unused type-combinations.
More player and character customization.
Advanced version/alternative of Amie, or similar feature.
Interesting type and designs for the flagship legends. Fire/Electric for Sun, Dark/Fairy for Moon.
Better character development.
Decision-based plot, so that the story and ending can be different based on your choices.
More differences between the Sun and Moon versions.

Imagine if Sun had exclusive events that occurred in the day and Moon had exclusive events that occured in the night? It;s going to be really interesting to see what they do with this either way.

And yes! We definitely need a water/bug type, surskit just doesn't cut it :tongue:

I wouldn't want events based on time of the day exclusively, but that can be a part of a mechanic. Different events happening differently depending on the time of day.

I don't really count Surskit as a Bug/Water since it's so weak and doesn't stay that way. I need something fully-evolved and awesome.

SUPER hyped for the direct :biggrin:, hopefully we get a 7th gen or some people are predicting a gen 6.5 to extend the Kalos region.

I wonder from the title does this mean mega lunatone and solrock confirmed? :tongue:

EDIT: Also hoping for a fire/bug or ice/bug type; super offensive but super frail :biggrin:

I really didn't think they could make any more pokemon, they have to at least bring out 100+ if they do instead of like the 70 or so we got in kalos
Damn, this makes me want to pick up my 3DS again. Anyone want to Pokemon battle? I have Pokemon Y
I want a thin Snorlax. When you catch it you get the item "gastric band" which, when held by a pokemon, increases their health.

I really want them to make more of them, especially if the designs are good.

Dark/Electric
Dragon/Fighting
Fire/Ice

I'm so hyped.

Just to be pedantic but they haven't actually made the announcement yet, they've announced that there will be an announcement, while at the same time trademarks for Sun and Moon have been found :ahee: These games are obviously the most likely thing to be released, but Nintendo have trademarked numerous game titles in the past that never materialised, so it's not 100!

But yeah, very excited. Between this and new Fire Emblem games I'm definitely returning to the 3DS! Personally I'm hoping for a more extensive gym challenge in the post game, at least 16 gyms like they did for GSC. Given that it's a big milestone (it's the 20th anniversary of pokemon being released this month), I would love to think they'd do something very special for it.
Friend code is 3754-7690-5563, if anyone has Pokemon Y or X and wants to battle.
I know it's not been confirmed lol, it just sounded better for the thread title :wink:
The nintendo direct looks promising, the 20th anniversary is the perfect time to announce something like this and to make it the biggest game in the series to date. 16 gyms would be epic, but whatever they do im sure the online connectivity will make up for any dislikes i have about the games :smile:
Sun and Moon always makes me thing of the tarot cards of the same name, lol.

I always had this feeling that X and Y were just testing the waters for the 3d transition so hopefully they push the proverbial boat out in this case.

Here i'll post some of my dreams for this game;
I was talking about this in reddit but I need a prankster quiver dance user.
More kawaii desu girls clearly
A plot that I couldn't totally predict (like you see Lysandre in the damm cafe where team flare meets up, and you don't get suspicious?)
Return of character customisation (as in, its here to stay)
I can say that there are certainly going to be new megas, but hopefully they aren't just op or silly
Good music (this sounds a bit iffy, but people praise Wally's battle theme so much when its one minute of hardly differing music)

We sort of already got a offensive fire/bug. Excluding megas and legendaries, volcarona is 7th for sp atk.
