I'm not sure if this has already been talked about. But as far as i know yesterday a photo was released of this picture

Now this photo was drawn by someone who originally worked on XYZ but has moved over to the sun&moon series.

So what does this mean? Is the plot starting to move forward? For those that don't know, the ruins of conflict is where tapu koko could be found.

Your thoughts?
 
While Ash has visited it before, that sketch is new. Although, I remember seeing a sketch that looked like it belonged to SM021, where Ash caught Litten, but the sketch doesn't really match any exact scene. So it seems like whether or not it is for a future episode or for SM010 is 50/50.

So, do you think i was right to make a thread for it. Or it was just a waste of everybody's time.

Cause I don't know if people are already talking about this or not

Sure, if you think there's a potential for this to be a new episode, then there's no problem. If it's real, then I hope Ash's classmates do go along with him. Also, while I haven't actually played the games yet, I do know bits about them due to the anime and do you know if this is indeed Tapu Koko's ruins, or could it be another one?

I think I'm seeing what you're seeing, if you're implying that it looks like May's bandanna, but since I'm sure you're joking, you probably already know that it's probably just two people running close together, but since Ash's classmates can already be seen, I wonder who else would be there. Maybe Professor Kukui. And I'm a bit surprised that Ash isn't in front.
 
I find this thread title funny since Ash doesn't actually appear in that picture :p

Anyway, yeah Ash has already been to the Ruins of Conflict, but it's not like he saw Tapu Koko there the first time (just heard it iirc). I wouldn't mind him going back with his classmates this time. Maybe they can all see Tapu Koko one last time before heading to Akala.

Actually, there's no description to the picture. It's just a sketch from someone that has something to do with the anime. This could actually be another island guardian's ruins. It's just been implied that it was tapu koko's.

Well, I was going to say Ash&friends but I wasn't sure if I had enough space

Honestly, I find it quite interesting that Ash isn't in the picture when everyone else is. There isn't much reason to exclude him, unless this photo is implying that all of the classmates go to the ruins for some reason and Ash doesn't. But that seems quite unlikely to me.

Or it's just a random sketch that doesn't mean anything :p

And it very well could be a random sketch. But all I know is that it's from someone within the sun&moon staff. And I highly doubt he went through the trouble of drawing it and posting it on twitter just to show his drawing skills haha.
 
Maybe there will be an extended preview with SM28 like they usually do for breaks ;)

Why not? Artists showing off their drawing skills is precisely what artists should and usually do. It's almost like a curriculum for them, where they show what they are capable to do and what they love to do.

So, it wouldn't be too weird if this was just a random sketch he wanted to draw. As an artist myself, I do this kind of thing all the times, in order to both showcase my talent and practice my technique.

Well like I said, this could be a random drawing. If that were the case, that would suck. But if it isn't, what does it mean? Is this going to be in the next few weeks or in the next few months/years.

Is the story finally going to start moving along?

Why is ash visiting the ruins anyway? Is this going to be the last thing he does before he leaves for another island?

Whether real or not, it's always fun to speculate. What do you think of the picture?
