[Theory] Pokemon Sun and Moon's Bracelets!?

Hi 3dsPedia! It's been a while since I've been here, but there's something that I feel I have to share. I had basically no idea where to post this theory, so this is all I could think to do. So without further ado~

We've all seen the "Everyday is an Adventure" trailer from japan, right? If you haven't, there is some interesting announcements in there. I'll add the video below for convenience. Around 1:45 in the trailer, you can see the trainer putting his fist in the air. Then a symbol resembling the new bracelets appears on screen.

This is somewhat minor, as it seems a little obvious to most that it's the bracelet in action, but at first glance I assumed this meant PR video studios was back. Then at 2:05 (you can just press 9) The trainers are seen doing three different animations starting with the gleam of their bracelet, then it cuts to the three starters, finally followed by three powerful-looking moves. This is what caught my eye.

Most people are assuming the bracelets are going to be some sort of Pokemon fusion, like Ash-Greninja, but from what I can tell, it's something different. Ash-Greninja is like synchronization, while I think these bracelets unlock an extra powerful move for certain Pokemon. This certain move could explain what was considered a "hidden secret" about Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio. Rockruff holds this secret as well, but it's not shown in the trailer using this special move. This would also explain that 5th move slot we saw at E3.

You might've also noticed the weird poses the trainers do before the trailer shows these moves. I have a theory about those as well... I think they each represent each type of special move the Pokemon will do. For example:

This being the Grass/Tree pose. It seems to signify growing like a tree, sort of like that one scene in Totoro...

This being the Fire Pillar/Torch pose is a bit of a stretch, but I feel like it has something to do with fire as it seems to activate that move.

And last but not least this pose is most likely the wave/water pose. This one seems the most likely as his motions make it very clear. Also, notice how the order this is shown in is: Tree, Fire, Wave, Rowlet, Litten, Popplio, grass move, fire move, and water move. Pikachu seems to have one as well:

The last thing I noticed is that when it shows the starters powering up before the attack, the symbols for their type appear in a diamond similar to the gem in the bracelet.

So that's basically everything I have to say on the "Everyday is an Adventure" trailer. I'm not sure if anyone has already pointed out these things, because I just watched it and came straight here. I'm curious to see everyone else's opinions on this, though. Is it too Farfetch'd?(I had to) Or is it believable?


[EDIT] There's something I forgot to add. Notice how Eevee Only gets new eeveelutions every even numbered gen? At 0:54 Eevee still only has 8 evolutions. I think they might've given Eevee this special attack at 1:14 to make up for it's lack of a new eeveelution. This could also just be a regular move like Giga Impact though... Also, Pikachu probably has this special move because every generation gives Pikachu something new (Light Ball, Pre-evolution, Cosplay pikachu, Volt-tackle, etc.)

If you don't watch Giancarloparimango11, he copy and pastes the move at the top and... there's only 4 slots. I wanted 5 moves too, but whatever.

Actually, I see what you mean. The first move is a little on the line, but I think the moves may just be closer this time around
