So you don't have to capture them to register them. 0_0

It's only the catch location or the data when you register it using friends

Me too, I hope it's "the rest" I hope that about Kaloa

Maybe every island will have other regions pokemon

like island one has kanto
etc...

then you can also get that regions legendary there.

"Mèhlemèhle" is the pronouncation I guess, and it's like "central -, coastal - and mountain Kalos", I guess

I am guessing melemele is the name of one of the islands(maybe the one you start at?), they probably left alola pokedex in there just so that pokefans would go mad with speculation xD

 

[CeeDee]

Your Pokedex is a rotom!​

​

Forget everything else, this is literally the coolest thing.

I guess that might be it, since they talk about "the region being chockful of nothing, but rare Pokémon"

Don't think so, Nintendo hates it when they leave things in (See homebrew )

pokedex is a rotom

I love that, I wonder if owning a pokedex by default means our pokedex recognizes that we've caught a Rotom. I'd think it would, but at the same time, i kind of doubt we'll be able to battle with it because that would effectively allow us to battle with 7 pokemon instead of 6/or if they counted him as one of your 6, every single player would have to have 1 of their 6 Pokemon be a Rotom, and obviously that's not going to be something everyone wants.

They wanted to be able to have more than six some time ago.

The sun legendary looks lame, the moon one looks alright. Not that it matters since legendaries are stupid to use anyway.

Quite a while till release. That's a shame. Kinda feel like playing a pokerman game but don't feel like finding my copy of X/Y.

 

[BurningDesire]

"Hau". Apparently, his name in Hawaiian means either: 'cold/snow' - or refers to the 'hibiscus tilliaceus' flower. Note that Phoebe of the Elite Four's name (in Japanese), is a reference to the flower in her hair, the 'hibiscus mutabilis'. Considering their similar namesakes, skintone, and attire - Phoebe is likely from Alola originally, and thus might make a return.

 

[Sliter]

I also read a post back that there might be two regions. Will we be able to go back to Kalos?

However, in the first trailer it said "This is where it all comes together"
I'm still hoping for a pokemon rainbow type situation.

I don't know why people way to thing is this linear
remake of red and green? Give us gold and silver now!
Why not a new adventure in Jotho instead?
Black and white? Now give us grey!(gray?)
they came with a diferent thing that wasnt bad ...
X and Y, WE NEED Z!!!!
Oh man ...
Also all the nosie for ORAS remake, not a new adventure in Hoeen ...
Now it come syaing it two region ... WHY KALOS???? because wa sthe last non remake one?
Hawaii coud be near Ishhu or any japanese regin, Kalos is very far (well we can have planes? XD) but can be just another one yet! but why every time people want the obvious?:/
(same goes to zelda.. why theyw anted an MM remake instead of a new adventure in Termina? ARGH yeha hope this extra region be Termina! lol)

Part of the dialog on the screen discussing Rotom in the Pokedex reads: "A whole new way for people and Pokemon to communicate, woo!" And prior to that we see Rotom greeting the player in English. I have a suspicion that your Pokedex/Rotom is going to also act as a translator for other Pokemon to English/your language. I recall reading somewhere that they wanted more interactivity with somehow talking with your Pokemon at some point, this definitely looks like it could do just that.
