I've been putting this off because I'm scared of disappointing all of you, but I guess I have to come out and say it at some point.

I lost it all. The duel. The next chapter. It's gone. I'd rather not explain how.

Some data miners did some research and confirmed these amazing details. Basically, Sun and Moon will be nearly twice as big as X and Y, making me think there's either a HUGE after-game or we finally get the Battle Frontier back!

ORAS = 1.8GB
ORAS Demo = 250MB
Sun and Moon = 3.2 GB
