Feb. CoroCoro Leaking, Pokémon X & Y Shown

by

February’s edition of CoroCoro has begun to leak in Japan. Although we’re not sure if there will be more images to come what we have so far reveals some details on the Legendary Pokémon of X & Y.

[spoiler]

-Xerneas/ゼルネアス is 3.0m tall and weighs 215kg. Type and ability unknown.
-Yveltal/イベルタル is 5.8m tall and weighs 203.0kg. Type and ability unknown.
-The structure connected to the bridge is referred to as a “palace”. Any places in France it may be based on? Versailles?
-The facility in the desert is referred to as “seeming like a power plant”, and asks “where is the legendary Pokémon?”
-Dae’s note: While the screenshot on the Xerneas page looks like it’s a darker version of the one we saw in the trailer doesn’t mean that day/night cycles return. I believe this to be the very same screenshots as released in the official press release, but as these are printed on a magazine where a dark picture was taken off, it looks like it’s night. Tke sky is still blue however, and the light of the houses are just the bright blue windows in the screenshot. That doesn’t mean that night won’t return however, and I think they have no reason to not include it, but don’t take this shot as a confirmation like some other sites are saying.

[/spoiler]

Also revealed is that the upcoming Pokémon movie: ExtremeSpeed Genesect will continue on from the next season of the BW anime, Episode N. In the movie the Red Genesect is leader of a group of four other Genesect, with more information coming “in the coming months”.

  3. So cool! I love the artwork on both legendaries! But i am leaning more to Xerneas cuz it looks so elegant type and kind of has a “dont underestimate me” look 🙂

  8. If the aim of the heading of that third scan was to make me hum it like gegege no kitarou, mission accomplished

    Also, legendary pokemon in a powerplant? Déja vu

  9. Really like the artwork for the Legendaries 😀

    Also if the Movie follows the Plot of the Best Wishes N Arc maybe that means theyll be starting the Sixth Gen anime later this year ? And wrap Unova up with a Movie ?

  10. So, the page about the movie is page 80, and the other two are 75 and 74. Hopefully there are a few more pages with better info.

  11. hmm on the top part of yveltal the writing where it says “Pokemon B-W….”(the pokemon word is written in katakana while the BW is written in plain english) hmm i cant read that…

  12. In three gens on five legends had one type in common (flying; dragon; dragon).. If it is the same for 6th I think that steel would be really cool!! Stell/flying would be a totally beast (x2 just to fire and electic and 0x for poison and ground) , and steel/grass would reduce many of grass weakness (and yes give it a x4 fire I know, but only another x2 for fight).. They will gain many x0.5.. Both could have steel in their designs too.. Xerneas has some sort of armor, also the x part of its body and the legs joined together look like a sword, with the neck being the handle.. Steel (or rock type —> the sword in the stone)? Yveltal claws really look iron made on the other hand.. I also have to say that usually when they share a type their design are similar someway, and obviously this is not the case..

  13. Xerneas’ antlers and legs remind me of bones while Yvetal’s body reminds me of muscle tissue. Maybe this is their niché. So a Rock type and a… Fighting? I doubt.

  15. I love the artwork! I might have to go with Pokemon Y game as I love Yveltal’s design.

    Also…has anyone else noticed that the first 2 Japanese character text above Yveltal look like SPACE! I’m sure I’m reading far too much into this but it could be a hint to a possible Cosmic type or Alien type.

    • haha well noticed. It’s just Corocoro being weird though :3
      They say “Fastest scoop in all of space!” to mean something like “fastest news scoop in all the universe!”. They’ve done stuff like this before, its safe to ignore 🙂

  16. Now for sure I can say (unless they add new types which I doubt) that Xerneas is water/psychic and yveltal is dark/fire from the looks of their artwork.

        • I think you missed the point.
          Based on the looks of Reshiram, people were speculating it was Dragon/Ice. Turned out to be the complete opposite.
          So just don’t go off on looks.

          Reply

          • Never saw Reshiram rumored to be Dragon/Ice. I know it was big with the Light thing, but I’ve never seen anyone say it was Ice before.

        • After Zekrom turned out to be electric type, people stopped using the light/dark theme and started suggesting things like ice.
          People actually suggested lots of things, but I don’t think I ever saw someone mentioning fire as an educated guess.

      • They never confirmed any of Ash’s Pokemon make a comeback. As far as I’ve seen, only 2 episodes have been leaked. Neither say anything about Ash getting his old Pokemon back.

        They had the rumor Ash would use his Old Pokemon for the Unova league because they were in the opening too. But he never did.

  18. Perhaps you guys disagree.. But if Xerneas is speculated to be a steel type, perhaps his weight should be a bit more. If you compare it to Dialga & Palkia, They both have a huge weight difference. These guys have only 12kg of difference.. and for these “smaller” creatures it’s common to have this weight. So I think the metal will not be part of it’s type 😉

    If I may suggest based on the Yggrasil theory:

    Xerneas: Psychic or Psychic/Grass (control over 4 elements)

    Yveltal: Ghost or Ghost/Flying ( This is a guess. The original story holds a hawk and an eagle. Therefore I choose ghost as it could contain the spirit of both. The hawk, speculated of being an immortal sky god, it could suggest immortality)

    Z: Dragon/ Poison (Tale of the Poisonous Lizard/dragon Nidhöggr)

    4th Legendary (ala mew/celebi/jirachi etc) Squirrel Based of Ratatosk: Ground

    I really love the designs btw :D~and really looking forward to more information ^^

  25. So there hasn’t been talk about the new games since Friday. Not in any website. I expected at least a speculation thread here, or something in Serebii, but nothing. What’s happening? I have a feeling Nintendo is telling all those popular sites to shut up about anything they hear.

    • I guess you haven’t read Kriffix’ Analysis? There’s nothing more we speculate on, we’ll have to wait until next month when new info comes.

      Reply

    • Speculation thread/post I hear you cry? Hmmm…there’s not a huge amount left we can speculate on without completely making stuff up. We’re open to ideas though.

      And there really hasn’t been any news, in any form. 😉

  27. I wouldn’t say that the screenshot in the Xerneas page doesn’t look like night. If you look on the official Pokemon website, it’s the exact same picture. It also looks much darker than the one on the trailer and there are no clouds. It looks like dawn or it’s barely about to be night

    • Initially I thought so too but Dae convinced me otherwise. If you resize the existing shot to the size of the one on the magazine, you can tell they’e the exact same image. When it gets smaller its harder to define some features and it makes it look like night.

  28. It’s interesting how many people seem to think Xerneas is going to have steel in it. I have a feeling this is a subconscious decision caused by existing steel Pokémon having a similar colour scheme (DIalga, Cobalion).
    Given the scene it’s shown in, and the whole concept of life (which there seems to be a lot of clues), I’d hazard a guess that it’d be two of these three: Grass/Water/Psychic.
    Also a lot of people seem to think that Yveltal will have fire in it simply because it’s red. The scene it’s shown in doesn’t really have much of a fire theme. Since it seems to be based on death, Dark/Flying seems most likely. Perhaps Ghost instead of dark, but I’m still guessing the former.
