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!
The bug type gym further confirms Pokebeach’s source! If the rest of his leaks are the real deal, we’re in for some exciting stuff, especially those of us who like to battle!
the bug type gym could have easily been guessed because we had footage of something that looked like a bug type gym in the first trailer. but the sky battles were true.
So is Toroba a boy or a girl?
he is the one with orange hair
I just realised both Fennekin and Froakie have base HP stats of <45.
At Level 25, Fennekin has 55 HP. Snivy with 45 base HP, 0 EV, 0 IV, has a minimum of 57.
At Level 50, Froakie has 101 HP. Snivy has a minimum of 105.
^ Meaning both will focus on offense? While Chespin will be HP/defense oriented?
Someone get me that Shishiko! :3
Fairy vs Dragon hahaha some bad language
Replace Jigglypuff with an Ice-type.
War Cry is just Growl……. Gamefreak pls.
War Cry lowers BOTH Attack and Special Attack
How is that Growl?
I think the normal type in second very interesting.
Eletric/Normal is lizard, Fire/Normal is lion, and we will not be a wolf, as Ice/Normal type?
So was that it for this CoroCoro?
That lion cub is too cartoonish (luxray’s line says hi) and that fairy is too digimonish. I just hated all of them.
I must admit the cub’s eyes are a little weird but give it a chance. For all we know, it’s evolution(s) could be the most awesome beast in the pokemon universe lol. As for the digimon resemblance, i don’t see it ._. they have subtle but different designs. I think these pokemon are awesome and can’t wait for more 🙂
What type should be Yveltal and Xerneas? I think that they should be something like Poison/Flying and Fairy/Steel
What kind of Fairy species you think we will find in X Y? I’d like to see elves, dark elves, trolls, faunus, gnomes… ^^
*Cough * cough* JUNE *Cough * cough*
FURABEBE!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
I don’t know if anyone mentioned this but on the pokemon site, it says war cry lowers attack AND special attack.
Is anyone else noticing this is JUNE not JULY
Now it actually *is* July 😉
In order to appear up to date and ahead of the curve, magazines are dated one month ahead of their release month. The issue that hits newsstands on the 15th will be the August issue of CoroCoro 🙂
