The July issue of Corocoro has begun leaking and showcases lots of new information. It’s worth noting that these names are the Japanese version and may change in the English version of the games.
- Pansy (パンジー) is set to appear in the Pokémon anime on July 18 with the riding Pokémon, Gogoat. Pansy is a journalist working for a company in Lumiose City.
- Viola (ビオラ) is a Gym Leader in Hakudan City (ハクダンシティ), and is a photographer, it is suggested she is a Bug Type Leader.
- The town you begin your Kalos adventure in is known as Asame Town (アサメタウン).
- If you pick the male character, the female protagonist seems to be called Selena/Serena.
- Alternatively, if you pick the female character the male character is known as Callum in game.
- Sana (サナ)is a new female character, she will begin her Pokémon adventure with you and two other characters from Asame Town.
- The large guy is Thierno (ティエルノ) and short guy is Troba（トロバ）they also begin their adventure from Asame Town.
- The player befriends these three characters along with the character the player did not pick.
- Vivillons evolutionary line has been revealed. Kofukimushi (コフキムシ) evolves into Kofuuari (コフーライ), which finally evolves into Vivillon. Either one could be Spewtal
- Furabebe (フラベベ) is a pure Fairy type Pokémon and is classified as the ‘Single Flower Pokémon’. It is said that when Furabebe is born it finds a flower and looks after it for the rest of its life. It learns the move Fairy Wind.
- Shishiko (シシコ) is the lion cub Pokémon. It is Fire/Normal type and learns a new move called War Cry, which lowers the opponents attack.
Keep checking back as we update with more!
I should really get a 3DS now. -.- hahaha
Tieruno looks like he may grow up evil and lose weight, then become Goone from the Zoroark Movie XD Joking of course.
Also, Shishiko will probably look more like a Komainu or a Shiisaa as it evolves.
Wow the designs are seriously blowing me away this gen. So much news ! I actually love it to an unhealthy level now :p ive started planning my team already now and thats only the pokemon shown so far. Nintendo and gamefreak have well amd truly spoiled us fans 😉 🙂 😀
That fairy Pokemon is so adorable. Now my team is a balance of fire-power, cuteness, coolness, and weirdness .
So far these pokemon look awesome. but what is with all these secondary normal types?
… also the FLYING /DRAGON type combo… This is all very curious indeed.
i knew they would make Kofukimushi out to be ugly. it’s a cute ugly but still
Spewpa is definitely Kofuuari. When you pronounce it, the end sounds like “pupa”.
i expected Furabebe to at least be grass/fairy
If Bug is the first leader then assuming you chose Fennekin, it’s going to be pretttty easy to win.
Actually it doesn’t say which gym leader Viola is, it just says she is a gym leader not a specific one.
First female bug gym leader, as in all the other bug gym leaders have been male. Not necessarily first gym leader in game.
holy crap four different rivals
We could possibly see in X and Y, that once we get to the Pokemon league our Pokemon will be at lv. 60 and higher. Mostly because of the fact that we have more rivals and more battling methods like the horde encounters.
Furabebe isn’t helping the fact that fairies aren’t just cute little creatures x) Although that thing about it caring for a flower for the rest of its life could indicate a possible Fairy/Grass evo.
Helping the fact? What about Sylveon? Saying all fairies are cute is like saying that all fire Pokémon have flames/flame patterns.
I never said all fairies were cute. I’m just hoping for like a troll or an ogre or something to counter all the crap Fairy is getting as the “cutesy” type.
yeah I want a counter too 🙂
I like the new fairy and the fire cub the most. The Vivillon prevos look ok, a bit plain though. (They remind me of Burmy)
The Male character has my Name 😀
Whose idea was it to put an onion on a pickle and call it a Pokémon? :p
LOL, can’t be unseen after reading your comment. XD
Cowboy rival dreams smashed.
Nice to have more info, is this all for CoroCoro?
maybe more about the movie, and maybe just maybe Mewtwos rumored other form.
If Mewtwo was to receive another forme it would be covered in this issue. To put it more bluntly, I meant if there would be any more pages on X/Y
Yea true, this the last one before the movie is released. Guess we have to wait and see!
On the plus side, only 3 more CoroCoro to go now before XY release!!!! xD
Not necessarily, they could be keeping it as a surprise (as in, you’ll only see it in the movie).
Either way, the leaker said Mewtwo will have another new form, and we already have so much confirmed information about his leaks that it’s stupid to question the legitimacy of the info.
By the way, that info about the leaker admitting to have lied is false. The guy who said is not the leaker. Read the full story here: http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/thread-1-last-of-the-x-and-y-insider-information-5-18?pid=2437410#pid2437410
If anything is false, it’s in this post: http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/thread-1-last-of-the-x-and-y-insider-information-5-18?pid=2437465#pid2437465
why does that bug look familiar? i feel like it was leaked before everytime i look at it (not the final evolution, the first stage)
a bit of news on the anime, i counted the episodes it’d take for america to get to the episode with the new pokemon, and surprisingly, it’s the week before the game is released, kinda nice how it ended up that way.
Funnily enough, the Pokemon X and Y anime starts the same week as the games released.
So much information this week, my head may explode. LOVE every single pokémon revealed so far. Without a doubt the best pokemon games since gen1.
If there isn’t some fanart of a Furabebe kicking a Salamence’s ass I’ll be bitterly disappointed.
LOL That’s hilarious
but i too wish it could happen
Pretty close. I thought this was funny
I made one 😀
I made one!
Anyone notice how there will be you and four “rivals”? Meaning there will be two rivals who will have to start with something other than the Kalos starters. Interesting.
The eyes on Shishiko kinda throws me off… Anyway, I’m so glad that CoroCoro had some more info for us. 🙂 Those rivals…I just wanna say, I think they are the best since the 3rd Gen. I love how different they are and their presence will probably REALLY make the storyline and the game a lot more interesting and entertaining to play. And I love the fact that the Bug gym leader is a photographer! That’s just awesome! And then we also have a journalist… These characters are turning out to be fantastic. And I’m really happy that Furabebe wasn’t some pink thing. It looks like a small little elf and will probably turn into an even larger, more epic elf-like creature. It’s proving that Fairy Pokemon aren’t just about being pink, they have some folklore and spirit-like elements to them too. A little thrown off by the huge flower it carries with it, but hey, if I got used to Conkeldurr and that line carrying around others kinds of objects, I can get used to this as well. Oh, and apparently this is also like the 3rd Gen where our character has just moved into the starter town. I like that. And I love the names of the protag counterparts. Serena/Callum. Sexy names. Here’s to hoping Shishiko evolves into a BA Fire/Dark!!!
I really like the rivals too. Out of all the rivals I’ve seen to this date these guys seem to have the most obvious personality just in their artwork alone. I’m interested in getting to know them.
I’ve never hated a Pokemon design. Each one is unique in the their own aspect, may it be weird, corky, or just its plain randomness is what made me love Pokemon in the first place. With these new Pokemon, I think I’ll say “Gotta Catch’Em All again!
I love the lion cub pokemon, it might just replace Talonflame on my list 😉 but besides that Villion is just adorable~! i wants it!!! & i love the diversity of friends/rivals u hav especially the chubby guy. i can already tell the short 1 is gonna b either the cheren/Gary of the group XD
I really want the female to be the main rival who can kick your butt. It would be perfect.
she might b we’ll just hav to wait & find out 🙂
I’m thinking the rival who is very competitive might end up being the gender you don’t pick. Looking at the other three rivals, they don’t look much like the competitive type.
Which would be interesting for those who choose to play as a male, because it would be the first time we have a seriously competitive female rival.
On another note I was just thinking it would be interesting if there was some randomness to the pokemon your rivals added to their team. Like when they reach a point where they need to add a new pokemon to their team (for a battle encounter), the game looks at the types they already have and then at a list of pokemon you can get since they last encountered you…then picks one of them randomly.
War Cry should lower their attack and also raise yours.
