Information about the highly anticipated "Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon" have continued to elude the fans. However a diehard "Pokémon" fanatic spent some time to deduce a set of information that may give a hint on three possible characters. An owl, a sea lion and a cat are said to arrive on the upcoming pair of games.

HNGN has reported that a certain Tyranitar Tube posted a video on YouTube on the process he did in order to get this information. It all started with Trademark Bot, which tweets every trademark made in Japan. Three consecutive tweets dated Feb. 18 caught Tyranitar Tube's attention as it displayed three names: Mokuroh, Ashimari and Nyabby.

These could be any name, but the report also stated that there are a few numbers involved and, after some cross-checking, there is a connection to a different trademark filed for the "Pokemon Chesnaught," another character in the "Pokemon X and Y."

Tyranitar Tube took a leap of faith and translated the following names into a more understandable format. First, Mokuroh, which seems a two word combination, Moku is wood or tree and kuroh, that may come from fukurou, that means owl. Mokuroh thereby means a wood owl.

The second name, Ashimari, might have come from ashika, the Japanese word for a sea lion, while mari means ball or simply a shorter term for marine. A sea lion "Pokemon" will be a first in the series, if proven true.

The third word, Nyabby, may have come from the way Japanese call a cat call. Instead of "meow" they say "nya." The second part of the word stands for fire, thus it becomes a fire cat Nyabby Pokemon.

Fans will really find ways on how to extract information from their beloved game series. Many "Pokemon" followers were greatly disappointed this month. A new game trailer was highly expected coming from developer Game Freak, but nothing new came up. The Japanese game magazine CoroCoro's expected big reveal on its April issue also showed nothing except a box for the game with no design. The magazine said that the big reveal will happen on its May issue, BitBag reported.

Nintendo has not uttered a single word about "Pokémon Sun' and ' Pokémon Moon." However, a late 2016 release is scheduled for the game for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console. This year's release also coincides with the 20th anniversary of the game.
