Kami Trio to get new forms?! (June 2012 CoroCoro Cover + Alleged Details)

Poster on 2ch claims: (RUMOR)

[list style=”orb” color=”green”]

  • Brock and Giovanni appear in CoroCoro
  • Cheren is a gym leader
  • Kami trio formes are available through the AR Searcher 3DS app
  • Movie area is called Pokéwood (A play on ‘Hollywood’)

[/list]

This part is also not confirmed, and is from a different source:

[list style=”orb” color=”green”]

  • Blue, Lance, Misty, Steven, Volkner will appear  in the game.
  • Brock and Giovanni are supposed to appear in some sort of battle facility “Like Cynthia.” The poster has now elaborated that there is a World Tournament facility that allows you to fight gym leaders from all over the world (seriously though, take this with a pinch of salt until further scans come up, we could just have a troll on our hands).

  1. I knew theyd improve the kami plot in some way, but different look… didn’t see that coming O:

    I like their initial designs despite everyone hating them like a pest, but lets hope this will make those people stop complaining, eh?

    Reply
  2. If true, I would be extremely happy because I effing hate the original designs. I know they aren’t the first Pokemon to reuse the same design with minor tweaks (Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf anyone?), but they were just “blargh”. lol They were a bit too humanoid I guess, I like my legends beasty/dragony/etc. lol

  3. So the silhouette Pokemon is a Thundurus.
    Can’t wait, hopefully this issue will reveal even more forms. Being fighting types, I always thought the Musketeer trio should have bipedal forms of some sort.

    Reply
      • Unless the silhouette was some crappy beta art, I really doubt its Tornadus. The head thing still makes no sense, its not safe to assume it will have a bird body at all (its chest looks humanoid as ever to me), and neither do the wings match any more than any previously suspected pokemon.

        I hate it how serebii is so damn certain about it when there is no way to tell for sure. -___-
        And then, like always, other sites pretend the silhouette mystery is solved just like that too……

        Reply
        • I thought the wings matched. There are also the spikes on the silhouettes head, which could be the moustache and antenna things on Tornadus.
          But of course, we can’t be one hundred percent sure. We’ll just have to wait and see.

  4. I might be wrogn but that is just a theory.A Game Theory

    Anyway..if this is true then i am going to bet the Kami Trio will have the same type as before

    Reply
    • Okay, I’ll admit, I like this a LOT better than Ho-Oh.
      If the rumor about needing a 3DS to unlock these forms is true, though, I’ll be very frustrated. I don’t want to have to buy an entirely new system (and an entirely new peripheral on that entirely new system) just to unlock three alternate forms. I know Nintendo likes to stretch its fans’ money, but that’s just ridiculous.

      Reply
      • Well Nintendo is still trying to push people towards buying a 3DS… It’s really a great marketing ploy to make exclusive forms that one could only get if they own a 3DS. The 3DS is already the inevitable next system that the 6th generation will most likely be on… It’s time to move on from a normal DS.

        (This coming from someone who already owns a 3DS.)

  5. Only question now running through my head is HOW THE EFF is Gamefreak going to explain THIS new form Change. Kyurem’s made some sense in the “Fans demanded Kyurem to be related to the other two” but…the Kami’s is reaching into the random hat and pulling out rainbows.

    Reply
    • I’m pretty sure that GameFreak would fully design a Pokemon from the very beginning. They keep the plan stowed away in secret, that certain Pokemon will get new forms. It only makes sense to me that they would be planning the third version of a game just along side the first two – especially when these ones are direct sequels and not just a third version.
      I trust GameFreak, and I don’t think they just pull these new forms out of no where due to fandom demand or pointless reasons. They usually know what they’re doing.

      Reply
      • Ya….no they don’t. They do take in Fan consideration hence polls every now and then.

        Still its very random choice. Even though fan speculation put a possible third game (Back when we thought about Grey) as Landorus as the Mascot or Cobalion and apparently both trio’s may play a part in this story.

        The Muskedeers are in the opening sequence (Although the Kami aren’t)

        Still wanna see how they plan on explaining the random Kami upgrade.

        Reply
        • So… taking in “fan consideration” made them decide to make two sequel games so that Kyurem could forms that relate to Zekrom and Reshiram. I don’t think so.

          Any video game/movie/book/etc. is usually planned out very thoroughly from the start. These sequels were most likely planned somewhere through the production of Black and White. The story in Black 2 and White 2 is probably going to be even more complex than that of the first games. If they’re giving the Kami Trio new forms, it was definitely planned and not “random.”

          Reply
          • Unless they play some part in the story, yes that was pulling crap from a hat. Gamefreak: Lets see we need to add some new forms…who shall it be? *Pulls names from hat* OK Tornadus, Thundorus, and Landorus!

            These three getting a new form can’t be any more of a random selection if someone even tried.

  6. Tornadus’ new forme definitely looks better than his original design, reading more like a Flying type than ever.
    I’m curious what new redesign will befall my fave Kami, Thundurus.
    So far five bouts of new, Platinum still has it beat with seven.
    I’m hoping they really use the size of the DS cart to its fullest potential and really splurge on the forme total. Gamefreak, keep the awesome coming.

    • If you look closely in the bottom corner, you can see Thundurus’ new form. It appears to have large clawed hands surround by clouds… But that’s really all you can see. He also a bit of a more streamlined design.

      Reply
    • Well, at least the forms are spread out over more Pokemon this time. I’ll be happy with the 5 we have I guess, but I wouldn’t mind if they wanted to match Platinum (or add in even more). Toss in the “Original Dragon” as a combined form for Kyurem and then give Keldeo a new design to make it look less like a horrible lightbulb-headed, pig-nosed My Little Pony ripoff. xD

      I’d be ecstatic!

      Reply
    • Except for being airborne we CANNOT know what it means to be a real flying type, because there has not been any without another main type before. And unfortunately Tornadus shares its design with 2 pokemon that are not main Flying… well until the formes will have major differences visually, which only THEN will give us the first real clues as to what a true Flying type even means.

      Reply
  7. LOL look at Tornadus trollin’ us, being the actually silhouette. These games just keep on getting better and better.

  8. Guys the person who leaked the cover has stated that Brock. Giovanni, cheren and Bianca are in the magazine!

    Check serebii

    Reply
  9. Also serebii is reporting that the new corocoro will feature Cheren, Bianca, BROCK, AND GIOVANII.

    So is those bad guys actually Team Rocket!? And what is Brock doing in Unova!?

    Reply
    • I did wonder that when I saw them in black outfits. I’m hoping for a Rocket-Plasma face off, and now a lot more formes, especially as no one expected these three due to no placeholder being found. Keldeo could have a ‘grown-up’ forme, there are a lot of Pokémon that would benefit from new formes, the starters for one to give them extra typing, though I doubt that would happen.

      Reply
    • Maybe this new evil team is a merge between Team Rocket and Team Plasma? If that’s the case I wonder how they’ll explain it in the games?

      Reply
      • besides, team Rocket is way to simple “bad guys” for the deeper plot of Unova and TPlasma.
        Well except for the part that helped creating Mewtwo… which then reminds me of the energy tubes on Kyurem..

        In other words,
        while I could see some secret special rocket scientists (xDDDDD) coming over to artificially add Kyurem a fake generator tail, causing the formes,
        I seriously doubt typical mass of rocket grunts would make any serious appearance.

  10. I HATE LEGENDARIES. I never use them and I will never use them.
    I just wish there would be 4-5 legendaries each generation.

    Reply
    • That makes no sense.

      First off you have to understand that there distinct differences between legendaries, you can’t just put them all in one box because of a broad classification.

      -there is the big real legends, who are insanely strong just from having huge stats (~680), usually being mascots, and having important plots.
      Id understand your hate for these because they are another league and crush normal pokemon.
      -but then there is also the weaker legends (~600), which are either a plot related trio, or simply special strong rare pokemon (heatran, latis etc). HAting these outright makes no sense unless you hate all the non-legendary pokemon who have just as good stats. So these weaker legendaries are basically like Tyranitar, Metagross & co, just without weaker stages.

      Besides some legends are horrible competitively (Entei), while normal pokemon can be broken (Excadrill)…

      so I leave you wit the message of this generation: the world is not just black and white.

      • I hate all those legendaries. I don’t care about their stats, i don’t care about what place they have in story. I just hate them. I think they’re useless, they’re stupid and they shouldn’t exist. This is my opinion, those are my feelings. You think my hate makes no sense? That makes no sense.

        Reply
          • I wouldn’t want Raikou to be non-legendary. Let’s say Heatran is a non-legendary, I would hate it all the way. You don’t seem to grasp my idea and I’m not expecting you to do so.

            In addition, there’s no general consensus about which feelings make sense and which don’t. You can hate something or love something. Anyone can hate something or love something. You have no right to judge people’s feelings. Don’t be hypocrite and look what have you written about this generation’s message!

        • Your hating legendaries has absolutely nothing to do with this article. This article is about new formes for old legendaries, not an actual legendary discussion. If you don’t like legendaries, well whoop-de-friggin’ doo, NO ONE CARES. I don’t like Farfetch’d. Don’t hear me @%?©™ing about it, do you? If you don’t like them, don’t use them, but don’t whine at us. Also, if you don’t want people to contest your opinions, then keep them to yourself.

          Reply
          • We’re on the internet. Point of the internet and these boards are entitling our opinions. So I entitled my opinion about legendaries under a post about legendaries. If you don’t care about people’s opinion why are you visiting those comment sections?

    • Though I wouldn’t quite word it that way, I agree with you to some extent lol.
      I think legendaries should go back to being rare and not essential to the main plot. It used to be fun stumbling upon them or hunting down the clues. Of course even back then I’d put it in my computer straight after catching them and never use them again, but I always enjoyed the mystery hunt at least lol.

  11. …When they said back when BW were announced that 5th gen would redo the formula, they weren’t kidding. I guess BW were just one last Red & Blue, and then the next titles were what proved them right.
