Natsume posted a message on Twitter a short while ago which definitely seems to be teasing something related to River City Ransom. Here’s the tweet in question:

For those that are unaware, enemies say “barf” when you hit them in the River City Ransom games. There have been quite a few entries in the series that have stayed in Japan, so maybe we’ll be seeing a localization announcement soon. The latest title, River City Ransom SP, came out in Japan on April 28.

In Japan, Game Freak has filed for a couple of interesting trademarks. The Pokemon developer registered the names “Solgaleo” as well as “Lunaala”. Folks are now speculating that these two could be the mascot starters in Pokemon Sun/Moon.

A trademark for “Gigareki” was also registered separately, but it’s not entirely clear what the name is for at present.

While it’s unknown if any of these trademarks are actually tied into Pokemon Sun/Moon, the possibility is certainly there. We can look forward to receiving official information on the two games within the next few weeks.
