August Corocoro Leaking — New Pokémon, Characters and More!

The latest issue of Corocoro has begun appearing online, and with it comes a stash of new information, including new Pokémon, characters and even more!

The scans and our translations can be found below. Remember! These are the Japanese names and it’s almost certain that we’ll get the official English reveal of these Pokémon in a couple of days.

Pokémon Information

  • Maaiika: “Rotate Pokemon”, Dark/Psychic with Contrary or Suction cups. It flashes the lights above its eyes and confuses its opponents. As its classification suggests, this Pokémon actually rotates it battle.
  • Kalamanero:  the “Turnabout Pokemon”, an Evolution of Maiika. Has either the ability ‘Contrary’ or ‘Suction Cups’. It knows the move ‘Flip Around’ which flips the stats of the afflicted Pokémon, much like it’s ability.
    • This may actually work through the 3DS’s gyroscope?
  • Goronda: “Tough-Looking Pokemon”, Fighting/Dark Knows Arm Hammer. Ability is Mold Breaker or Iron fist. Pancham is hinted at evolving in a special way. It is described as “looking like it has a rough temperament, but cannot stand to see the weak getting bullied. It has a warm heart”.
  • Shushuppu:  the “Perfume Pokemon” is Fairy Exclusive to Pokemon Y and looks like a pink bird. It has the ability ‘healer’. “It releases a special aroma from its body to fascinate the opponent”.
  • Skrelp is a Pokemon Y exclusive, Clauncher is an X-exclusive
  • Peroppuff: “Cotton Candy Pokemon”, Fairy type, has an ability called Sweet Veil which protects team members battling from sleep. Exclusive to Pokemon X
  • Xerneas: “Life Pokemon”, Fairy type and has the ability Fairy Aura which powers Fairy-type moves. Has a new move called Geo Control
  • Yveltal: “Destruction Pokemon”, Dark/Flying type and has the ability Dark Aura which powers up Dark-type moves. Has a new move called Death Wing
  • Honedge has the ability ‘No Guard’

Character Information

  • Team Flare are the new antagonists, they aim to make big money, but doesn’t seem like their only aim
  • Prof. Platane is the new Professor, may battle you
    • “The Tree of Hippocrates is the plane tree (or platane, in Europe)” -Wikipedia, This could refer to a 3D plane which has X and Y coordinates, infers third game will definitely be Z.
  • Two new Gym Leaders: Citron (likes to invent things) and Zakuro (good at sports)

Game Information

  • New “O-Power” which can help you throughout the game, similar to Pass Powers
  • “Holocaster” allows you to receive updates on WiFi tournaments through the PSS
  • Drain Kiss is a new Fairy-type attack which attacks the opponent whilst recovering HP
  • New attack “Flip around” switches around the opponents stats.

Miscellaneous Information

  • Maaiika is from Maika, a common Japanese squid, as well as being from the common Japanese phrase “Maa, ii ka!” used to ‘leave something as it is’ and to ‘not bother yourself with it further’
  • Karamanero is Calamari (squid), Karamasu (to entangle/entwine)
  •  Goronda is Gorogoro (the onomatopeia of rumbling or something big rolling), and Panda
  • Shushupu is Syusyu (a scrunchie or haritie covered in fabric or lack on innovation/stupidity) and Puchi (french preffix Petit.)
  • Shitoron to come from Citron, and Zakuro is clearly from Pomegranate

  1. OK, so we got Pangoro, Inkay, Malimar, Draining Kiss… Anyone still want to argue against the Pokebeach leaks?

      • [EDIT – ADDED IMAGE]

        They could be wrong about the professor being called Patrice since his Japanese name is Purataanu プラターヌ which can possibly romanised into Platane, which can also be Platanus. Plantanus is a genus comprising a small number of tree species native to the Northern Hemisphere (where france is located). And here is an image and description of a tree in this genus that is from France
        Platanus dating from 1797, Bayeux,
        Normandie, France
        They could also be wrong about the second gym being fairy considering that the gym leaders shown in the Coro Coro don’t resemble someone who battles solely or with fairy types at all, “Citron (likes to invent things) and Zakuro (good at sports)”.
        This is just what I think but I seem to have backed it up with some evidence. The other Pokebeach leaks are either uninformed, have been confirmed or they are most likely true.

    • i will slightly cause it says that koronda(not gonna call it pangoro till the u.s release it) evolves with a new method. while the leak say he evolves in the early level 30s. and In order to evolve, you need to have one other Dark-type Pokemon in your party. doing it with a dark type may be different but evolving while having a certain pokemon in your party is not. now what the leaker provided seems pretty true but i i will hold out on the names till the u.s release it but i am glad most of it is true cause i so want Starter final evolutions to be Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, and Water/Fighting

      • Who is voted this down, just because he is presenting his opinion towards Hiro’s Leaks (which aren’t 100% correct) doesn’t mean you can just vote it down because you don’t like it. This may seem like an extreme comparison but it still expresses my point, it’s like the KKK lynching African Americans just because they don’t like them.

        Reply
        • Ok first came down, stop cursing and I never said there was any relation between voting down and the KKK. I merely said that I think that the people who voted this comment down did that because he was arguing that the PokeBeach leaks aren’t 100% true. It may be true that people can vote down as much as they like, I’m just saying that to me it’s stupid to vote it down just because someone has discredited something you believe to be true when you can just argue why you believe that it’s true. I admit it may have been a stretch to compare voting that down to the KKK lynching Black Americans but that is no reason to to start insulting me.

          Reply
        • The PokéBeach leaks don’t come from Hiro, they come from MageLeaf. WPM said Hiro doesn’t have any info abou this Gen other than Xerneas, Yveltal, and Ninphia (Sylveon)’s types and Clefairy having its type altered (the latter info being still unconfirmed).

          Reply
        • if they wanna vote me down let them. cause i ain’t gonna put 100% in the leak more like 95%. i don’t want to expect some thing from the leak and then not get it. if every one wants to blindly fallow some thing let them

        • …. What is wrong with you? I find it very problematic that you felt the need to compare such a HUGE True event in the worlds history, to all the “realness” of a Pokémon video game. Sounds like you need to grow up and learn what’s fake and reality ( -_-)

          Reply
          • I have apologised for doing that, and it wasn’t compared to pokeman at all. I compared it to people voting down a comment just because the comment discredits the belief of something which isn’t 100% fact.
            And I am also a Black Pokemon Player.

    • The only rumors i dont see coming true is mewtwo getting another new form, turning your 3ds upside down to evolve the squid and dual typed moves. I say the other new mewtwo form because i think they would have showcased that form as well in the new genesect movie in japan but they didn’t thats why i doubt that one. i doubt turning your 3ds upside down to evolve the squid because 1) Coro coro didnt say it evolved in a special way like pancham to goronda and 2) It has that new move that reverses stat changes so i think the squid evolves once it has learned that move and leveled up that makes a lot more sense than turning your 3ds upside down. And by dual type moves i think it might be moves like scald. That are a certain type but cause the status effect of another type. For example an electric type move that burns. Or a water type move that freezes.

      Reply
    • Looks like MageLeaf got it mixed up when they told Pokebeach that the professor’s english name was patrice and the other professor who gives you the gen 1 starters name was sycamore. Check the x and y official website for the english names of everything that was leaked.

      Reply
    • Pokebeach rumours are proven true yet again!

      Pancham’s evolution, Goronda is called Pangoro in English, Maika is called Inkay, Karamanero is called Malamar, also the way Pancham evolves is said to be done using a new method (could be the one mentioned in the Pokebeach leaks) according to the official x and y website, “There appear to be Pokémon in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y that evolve in ways never before seen! One example is Pancham and Pangoro, but how do they evolve?”.

      The only thing that was wrong was that they mixed up the names of the professors that they leaked, it’s actually professor Sycamore who gives you your starters and if there will be another professor their name will most likely be Patrice and they will most likely give you one of the gen 1 starters.

      I’m just gonna list the english names of the leaked Pokemon and everything else:
      Goronda – Pangoro
      Maika – Inkay
      Karamanero – Malamar
      Peroppafu – Swirlix
      Shushup – Spritzee
      Geo control – Geomancy
      Death WIng – Oblivion Wing
      Professor Purataanu – Professor Sycamore
      Gym Leader Shitoron – Gym Leader Clemont
      Gym Leader Zakuro – Gym Leader Grant

      Here are my predictions for what type Grant’s gym will be. I think it will be a rock type gym, one reason I have to assume this is that his hair sort of resembles stalagmites which are a conical mineral deposit, usu. calcite or aragonite, built up on the floor of a cavern, formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water. Another reason is that he like mountain climbing, but that one can be cancelled out by that fact that he also likes playing sports and cycling. One more reason is that when you battle him you see what could be the gym badge and the colour of it looks like it is rocky colour scheme. And that’s pretty all I got about him.
      Clemont’s gym as we’ve all guessed is most likely an electric type gym, considering that fact that he likes to invent think and his inventions look as if they are electronically powered. And when you battle him the image behind him looks like a gym badge and it’s bright yellow which could be the colour of many electric type attacks. If he’s not an electric type gym leader then he has to be a Steel type gym leader because the inventions we have seen are very mechanical.

  2. Is it just me, or are these new Pokemon a little off compared to the other 6th gen Pokemon they revealed…. The best word to describe these new Pokemon would be “Controversial.”

    I like the new Gym leaders, hoping the one dark skinned one is a Dark Type gym leader and not a ground/rock type.. (No racist joke intended, I’m basing the idea off the jewels on his hair.)

    Oh, and the leaker about Pancham’s evolution to a Fighting/Dark type is true as well… Seems like that leaker was legit for sure. :/ I hope he can come back and leak the rest of the info he has….

    Reply
    • Meh. I guess you can’t agree with every design. I never have in any generation of pokemon. I do like the squids and the Pancham evolution. Not to high and mighty on the new fairy types that were leaked today. Here’s to hoping there evolution’s are cooler!

      Reply
    • The dark skinned trainer is most likely a rock-type leader, as he’s wearing rock climbing gear and his badge looks very much like bricks. The background also seems to resemble mountains or hills.

      Reply
    • I saw the Gym Leader´s shirt and automatically thought she would be our expected dark type leader! But now I feel defrauded seeing she is sort of climbing a mountain and the background points that she might probably be rock or ground specialist. We can just wait and hope.

      Reply
    • If you zoom in the picture with the gym leaders…. you may see something like a gym badge beside the gym leader… It looks more Rock / Ground than Dark. Also, he has a ring lock thing for abselling

      Reply
    • I would lean more too the rumoured Fighting-type Fourth Gym. In their description, it does say they are a sporty gym leader as well as Rock Climbing being a physical activity.

      Reply
      • Right! I was on tumblr and all of the sudden I get an email/notification and I saw pokejungle on it and I screeched (cuz I new it would be the leaks) and my mom came in the room and told me to shut up lol (it’s 1:16 am over here

  3. Wow this is great stuff, I love skrelp I’m so happy I picked Y! And i Love all the new Fairy-types!! So, did we confirm any rumours here, debatable. Ho hum I guess I can go to sleep now. But wait what does the picture of kids trading whilst battling mean?! Please translate soon!!

    Reply
    • I know right!! I pre-ordered Y and now today I find out that Skrelp (and the new pink flamingo cutie, who I love) are version exclusive! F YEAH!!! <3 *high fives for Y version*

  4. Guys that pink bird makes me believe that we’re finally gonna get a flamingo pokemon wooooo!

    Dark/psychic! Ghost/steel! More awesome combos please!!!

    A panda with a cape!!!

    Reply
    • I’m pretty sure that it’s actually (Also?) based on a plague doctor. They would wear masks exactly like Shushuppu’s, that were filled with perfume. They thought that illnesses passed via odor, so by blocking the odor, they’d be safe from disease.

      Reply
      • The version that has the Destruction Pokémon as its mascot also gets the plague doctor Pokémon? Sounds like a fun theme for the game.

        Reply
        • As well as the poisonous seahorse, while the other version has the Life Pokémon and a sugary dog-candy Pokémon. I’m definitely getting a Light vs. Dark kind of theme for the games.

          Reply
  5. I honestly think that just the possibility of Shushup evolving into some Fairy/Flying flamingo has made me decide to choose Pokemon Y over Pokemon X. I’ve never had that happen before. hahaha

    Reply
    • Haha, the opposite here– my love of Clauncher almost makes me want to change from getting Pokemon Y to getting Pokemon X!

      That said, I almost always choose based on legendaries, so I’ll probably stick with Y.

      Reply
        • Similar situation here– my brother is getting Pokemon X!

          Trading and using Pokemon in X/Y will probably be some of the only contact I have with him, since he’s at college.

          Reply
          • I’m in college, but my younger brother doesn’t play Pokemon, so I have to trade with my cousins

      • I usually choose that way, too. I’ve looked long and hard at Swirlix, and can see some good it in. Spritzee will have to be traded for.

  6. I came to look at the scans, only to discover that the site isn’t letting me view the pictures (in both Firefox and Chrome).
    Anyone else having this problem?

  7. I have to say, DEATH WING!? That is freakin awesome!! In other news, I LOVE Karamanero. I can’t stress that enough. Now I sit and wait for a Tasmanian Devil Pokemon.

    Reply
    • I’m wondering what that’ll be changed to over here heh. I’d also like to know in what way moves are powered up by Fairy Aura and Dark Aura. just a straight up damage boost? Something more like the starter abilities? Who knows. Honestly though, I’m disappointed there doesn’t seem to be anything on confirming the rest of Fairy’s type matchups. There is that rumor, yes, but that lacks resistances, and I kind of find it unlikely that Fairy will have NO resistance’s. And then there is whatever the heck Pokemon Smash meant by it being ‘strong’ against ice type, which the leaker didn’t mention. However, NOT doubting the leaker. Seriously, completely called these things. Just, the question is, how much may have changed since he got to play it.

      Reply
      • I would imagine it resists Fighting types, at least to me it makes sense. Plus, if it supports life, wouldn’t it resist Fighting. Fighting only destroys, and the Fairy type is known to be a supporter (so far), I think it would only make sense. Not to mention Fighting types already can take down a number of types, it would only be fair if it had two resistants Well I don’t even mean resistant, but wouldn’t have an effect on it. .

        Reply
      • It’s happening again. Old abilities with new names.
        Mold Breaker –> Turboblaze / Teravolt
        Adaptability –> Fairy Aura / Dark Aura

        Reply
      • One rumor mentioned that Xerneas and Yveltal have two sub-ordinate legendaries with them (Two fairies and two birds respectively). So, I’ll just guess the Aura abilities will boost the Dark and Fairy attacks of all Pokemon on the field. Hence, it’s not similar to Adaptability. Then again, if we assume that Dark Aura boosts 50%, and Yveltal uses, say Crunch, it will have 180 BP (80×1.5×1.5). While with Adaptability, it would only have 160 BP.

        Also, it’d be interesting if you had to defeat the “sub-ordinates” first in order to get to the Legendaries.. or maybe a triple battle in which you should KO the subordinates and then get to the Legendary? Nah, that would be overkill.

        Reply
      • But I actually don’t think so. Because their abilities activated when they are sent into battles. Like “Weavile’s Pressure”…. So it’s less likely to be another Adaptability

  8. this looks so awesome i like how the professor looks and the fact that he battles you from time to time is cool and the only sad part is that i know the attack ‘death wing’ will not stick in the eng ver.

    • Looks like it. Clearly, that little owl thingy had its hat and ribbons turned upside down. Also, it seems that Maika has Contrary for a primary ability. Interesting.

      Reply
  11. I think they should limit past Pokemon to exclusives.. making the new ones like that SUX! Exclusives don’t really make sense anyways just a gimmick to get people to buy both types

    Reply
    • It’s not a gimmick to make people buy both games. They make it like that because the games are meant to bring the fans together and trade between their games.

      Reply
  12. So we have the turning squids (maybe turn upside down for evolution) and fighting/dark Panda (add dark to your team to evolve Pancham)….it could be true then
    I’m so getting X now, the Clauncher thing kinda made the whole thing for me
    (No guard…Honedge…funny Gamefreak!)
    For the characters…how will the Team exploit and get money…hmmmm
    And Prof Pantane (well Plantain is something plant related right?)
    Robot boy electric gym leader and the gym leader who looks like dancer from gen V looks like a rock Gym Leader (safety clips, harness and water bottle)

  13. I think the cotton candy one is the awesomist food Pokemon EVER… or even just object… it doesn’t look 100% like cotton candy but like a monster how it should =]

  14. Last generation pokemon served you Ice Cream!!! This gen we give you Cotton Candy!!! Gen 7 you ask…Funnel Cake!!!

    I’m just being silly, but man this is awesome! Glad I chose X because I really need that Cotton Candy pokemon in my life.

    Reply
    • It looks less like Cotton Candy and more like a fluffy puppy to me. It could just be the ways its tongue is lolling out, though 🙂

      Reply
    • can’t forget… Gen 1 gave you a dozen eggs, Gen 2 gave us alphabet soup, Gen 5 Ice cream, Gen 6 cotton candy lol.

      Then we have the random haunted items. The haunted dollbaby (shuppet), the haunted chandelier (chandelure), the haunted sword (honedge). The haunted TV that rotom comes out of LOOOL.

      God I love Pokemon.

      Reply
  15. My only gripe with this news is that Xerneas doesn’t have Steel as a second typing but the fact it is a Fairy type and not a Psychic or Grass type HEAVILY outweighs it not being Dual typed. This also sums up that Fairy is the opposite of Dark and NOT Psychic or Fighting.

    Reply
    • GameFreak loves to throw curveballs. Samurott could have easily been Water/Fighting and Empoleon Water/Ice. But their main intention is to do stuff that’s not too obvious.

      I think in one of the Generation V interviews, someone explained why they drew Oshawott like a clown: That they didn’t want people to guess it’d evolve into an awesome Samurai-ish Pokemon. The same reason can be applied to this. Then again, I wish Xerneas is Grass/Fairy too (Which would also complete the reverse effectiveness.. Fairy-Dark and Flying-Grass).

      Reply
  16. So I had to look at another site because Pokejungle failed to load the pics for me…
    I like how Goronda/Pangoro is based on a Bancho basically, looks cool
    And the squid, I hope I can use the squid

    Fairy Aura and Dark Aura power up respective moves for all allies on field, it looks like

    • Is it bad that I have no idea what you’re talking about?

    • Serebii says this poster is regarding Xerneas and Yveltal toys of some sort (Acquired by using some sort of coupon?) so the Mewtwo picture must be regarding the same too.

      Reply
    • It just says what “PokéPla” is (Pokémon Plastic Figurines). It uses Mewtwo as an example.
      But yeah, like NL says its just about Xer/Yve pre-order gifts.

      Reply
  17. While I believe “turning the 3DS upside down while leveling up” is really, really odd. I can’t help but to notice that Maika looks pretty much like a squid, but when it evolves, it looks like Karamanero either blew its top, or it turned upside down, which I have to admit is more likely. I mean it really looks like it, and the rumor even got the typing right. I would have easily mistaken it for a water type.

    Reply
  18. “Team Flare – They Aim To Steal Money” Well that’s…..surprising. No plot to destroy the world or mind control the populace?

    Reply
  19. Also don’t those Squid pokemon sound like the Inkay and Malimar rumours? It seems like there’s too many similarities (the second one is even called the Turnabout pokemon!)….I suppose they had a name change. Even though the names are wrong, the kind of pokemon and the typing was right. I’m kinda wondering if maybe whatever information this guy had access too was really early and subject to change…

    edit: Had a brain fart, of course the names are different….they’re the japanese names.

    I didn’t feel like I needed much more proof the pokebeach guy was legit but really can’t see how anybody needs more proof now of his legitimacy.

    Reply
    • Inkey and Malimar names he gave would likely have been the English names, we only have the Japanese right now. We should know by the end of the week what they’ll be known as over here.

      Reply
    • Some people still think the leaker mixed fake info so that it would look interesting, like when I was using some of the rumors to come up with my theories of what would happen in the SPECIAL manga. But why would he/she do that? Placing fake info would be outright saying “I’m not reliable! Don’t believe me next time I leak real stuff!”, and I don’t think anyone leaking info would do that unless they don’t know anything and are trying to ride on the coattails of previous fame, like Hiro did recently.

  20. Glad WPM can go to sleep tonight now that he doesn’t have to worry about people calling him a bad webmaster.

    But legit did anyone else think Pangoro was a Pokemon done extremely right by GF? Like seriously look at that cape :’)

  21. Also guys, ill be getting Y, so if you’re as disappointed as I am that Skrelp and Clauncher are exclusives ( although I think it was obvious) just hmu so we can trade cuz I want my Super Awesome Pistol Shrimp Pokemon 😀

  22. Oh yeah… in the Misc section it says shushu is scrunchie but I don’t think that’s right –

    Shushu is a Japanese onomatopoeia for spraying , and Pu is for something spurting out. It’s the perfume Pokemon after all.

    And Maaiika is also a pun that doesn’t translate but pretty much means ‘whatever’.

    Reply
  23. I was expecting something different from Inkay and Malimar. Malimar looks like a crazy witchy bird with insane hair style. I tried to turn it upside down but it didn’t work:

  24. I guess what I’m really interested in is Flip Around (or whatever it turns out to be) cause it’ll be great against Conkeldurr, Cresselia, Suicune, and more.

  25. Man seeing all this great news makes me so happy getting pokemon X over pokemon Y. I love the skrelp and the new fairy type pokemon is so interesting but I’m more into Claucher over Skrelp so I’m getting pokemon X, I’m still glad that the legendary fro pokemon X is a fairy type finally something different and that pokemon looks so cool to me for some reason I usually pick the Pokemon that looks cooler but this time I’m getting the one that involves the pokemon exclusives that I am more interested in and the legendary just looks so very majestic and different from what I usually see in a legendary pokemon plus I can always look for others online to trade with.

  26. The pero part of peroppafu is an onomatopoeia for licking. Makes sense with the stuck out tongue

  28. A couple of months ago, this information was posted in pokebeach:

    “New move: Belch a Poison-type attack with a base power of 120 but can
    only be performed if the user is holding a berry and the attack consumes
    said berry

    New move: Draining Kiss a Fairy-type attack which has a base power of 60
    and heals user for the same amount that it damages the enemy for

    New move: Fairy Dust (fairy), makes the pokemon levitate. Same effect as Magnet Rise.

    New move: Rose Thorns (grass), hurts opponents that switch into battle. Same effect as Stealth Rock.

    New move: Mirage (psychic), makes you think that the pokemon has been
    switched by another one in the team, but it hasn’t. Similar to Illusion
    ability.”

    Now we know Draining kiss will be real, I think we have to consider the rest of the moves.

    Reply
    • No, draining kiss and belch are the moves that pokebeach posted…the other ones were from mossieur leaker (or something like that xD)…and he later said that he was lying, so we can say that the last three moves are fake.

  29. To convince my 9 year old brother to get X (We always get alternate games even though we are seven years apart.) I told him Xerneas was a dark fairy type… Am I a good person? Never mind I just want X exclusives.

  30. The thing that bothers me is that the squid pokemon isn’t water.. I thought it would be like the tentacool/cruel of this generation… The other pokemon that are in this month issue just don’t do it for me. Only the little bird thingy is kinda cute. The panda bear is just a big let down. I hoped for a cool evolution, not another ursaring, beartic look-a-like with a freaking cape.

    Oh and a question: does somebody know where you can pre-order the games WITH the Xerneas and Yveltal figures yet? Or is it gonna be announced..

  31. Awesome news! Although I must say my heart is broken because I really wanted Skrelp, and Shushupu (although I still love Peroppafu :3) Would anyone be willing to trade one to me ?

  33. OMG! Loving every piece of new information about this EPIC POKÉMON GAME!!! I love Maaiika and Kalamenero, so original!!! Getting X for Xerneas and Clauncher. Love the typing of the legendaries but Xerneas could have a 2nd typing like Grass. The team, the professor and the gym leaders are awesome! Geon Control and Death Wing sound so BADASS! Hope their graphics are too. The teaser for next month’s CoroCoro issue, due for release on August 12th 2013, is said that the magazine willl contain the biggest scoop of the century!!! I CAN’T WAIT!!! I bet that the starters’ evolutions will be revealed, and y’all?

If these two squids turn out to be Inkay and Malimar and their evolution method is indeed turning the 3DS upside-down, then I’m guessing that Inkay is open to more moves than Malimar since you could get Malimar as early as level 2. Kind of like how the elemental monkeys could learn moves up until they evolved and you had to use a tutor.

  35. Ok ok ok ok if these new Pokemon just HAPPEN to be reveiled to the public as Pangoro, Inkay and Malimar and that my future Chespin will become a nasty dark type (which i really hope it doesn’t)

    then I guess ill have to go jump out the nearest window in response for believing or doubting online rumors…

    Despite what i said Pangoro looks like a Pokemon that can give one heck of a mauling and I to have one as a partner for X

  37. I like the idea of Team Flair/Flare. Sounds like they will be greedy and snarky with a lot more personality, making you want to beat them. Their goal of making money is a fresh spin fom the usual wanting to take over the world/control everything.

    • I wonder which word it really is, flair or flare? Maybe both?
      Flair does fit well with the whole Paris, France, beauty theme, seeing as it means stylishness and originality.

  40. So I have a good idea on those gym leaders.
    I think the dude with robot arms will be electric type, and will have clauncher’s evo which i presume will end up being water/electric. Their color schemes match up, and the robot arms look/ will look like clauncher’s evo’s claws.

    The rock climber could plausibly be dark because it seems like he’s in a cave. But i think his main pokemon might be the sabeleye evo we’ve been thinking about. I mean they are cave-dwellers. The dude has gems in his hair, much like sabeleye.

    • I would love for him to be the Dark type gym leader, but seeing as he’s rock-climbing and he’s good at sports I’m thinking Rock or Fighting type Gym.

        which would make him a perfect candidate for a Dark-type Gym Leader.

  41. Citron = Eiffel Tower Electric Type Gym Leader. Yet another blonde Electric Type Gym Leader. I wonder who the girl next to him in the Gym is.

    Zakuro= Ground type. He’s an adventurer, mountain climbing etc. They’re gemstones in his hair. Craggy like hair. Gym Badge(?) is a pattern of bricks.

    Reply
    • I would guess Zakuro to be a Rock-type Gym Leader rather than Ground-type, if only because it’s been a while since we’ve had a Rock-type Gym Leader and there’s never been one that isn’t the first Gym Leader in their region, so it might be a nice change of pace.

    • I’m getting X because I love Cotton Candy!!! Thought that wasn’t the first reason. I had a feeling that pokemon was gonna introduce a new type this generation (which they ultimately did in Fairy) and since I couldn’t think of a plausible typing for Xerneas I believed it would be the new type (Yay I was right) which is why I wanted X all along.

      Plus I knew all my friends would get Y because Yveltal’s design is badass!

  45. I came to a different conclusion with Karamanero.
    Calama[ri] + manero (‘imitate’, ‘mimic’)

    say this, because the pokemon is clearly standing on feet made from
    it’s crown, to imitate a person, which also fits with it’s Reversal

  47. I was expecting them to reveal Mewtwo’s other form and tell their names, since the magazine legally comes after the movie (I was expecting this before reading this month’s issue would come one day earlier due to holidays), and since the movie is about Mewtwo, I would expect the other form to be in the movie.
    So, unless Mewtwo’s supposed third other form doesn’t appear in the movie and they decide to showcase it in the Xerneas/Yveltal movie, I think we’ll get info on the next CoroCoro.

    By the way, Moving, even if the Planate thing hints at a Z, I still think there’ll be a W. Since there’s a biology theme going ont, they wouldn’t make Z without a W. So we may have X/Y and Z/W, and possibly an O or 0 version since the origin connects all axes. So:
    -X: X chromosome and lenght.
    -Y: Y chromosome and height.
    -Z: Z chromosome and depth.
    -W: W chromosome and the fourth dimension.
    -O or 0: The absence of chromosome (X0 system, with 0 sometimes being called O), and the origin (absent of axis due to being their connection, composed of 0’s, and represented by an O).

    In other words, five games, with the legendaires being the four stags, the nameless eagle, Níðhöggr, Ratatoskr, and Yggdrasil. I’m very confident in this theory, and I’ll only give up on it if they release a solitary Z version with no W, which I find unlikely because of the ZW system, or if they don’t release an O, which would be wasting the letter, and since the Japanese pronunciation of the name of the Latin letter O is the same as their word for “king”, they would be wasting the pun of having a legendary master in the “king” version. I don’t see GF wasting this wordplay, and there would be no other chance to use the letter unless they make Generation Whatever being Pokémon I and Pokémon O from “input” and “output”, which couldn’t possibly have a “king” pun unless the O mascot is the king of the I mascot, which would defeat the purpose of two mascots being paired.

    If you want the rest of my theory and some other speculation regarding it, see http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?594366-Legendaries-Speculation-Discussion-Thread&p=16074822#post16074822

  48. Alright! So, those PokeBeach rumors are definitely true. For those who didn’t already believe… Shame. Shame on you!
    That means we already know a few English names ahead of time. For example:

    Maika is Inkay, Karamanero is Malimar, and Goronda is Pangoro, respectively. Draining Kiss seems like it’ll remain the same.
    Professor Plantane will most likely be Professor Sycamore in English, seeing as Plane trees (platane in French) are known as sycamore trees in North America. Also, because the rumors say so. Although, the rumors do state that he is another professor, meaning he’s not alone. But, based on CoroCoro, he will be the first prof. we run into. Wonder who’s the other guy? Or Gal.

    As for Citron, I wonder if he’ll keep that name. I hope so, but Lenora’s Japanese name, Aloe, was similar to his name (to me) as it was based on edible plant life and that, sadly, changed upon English release. Zakuro comes from 石榴 zakuro, pomegranate; also possibly from 黒 kuro, black. Based on similarity, maybe his English name will be Zack. Zack and black sound similar, so I think it would be pretty fitting name for him. Team Flare should definitely stay the same. Their name sounds like a pun off of the words flare; to burn with a sudden intensity, and the word flair; an ability to do something well; stylishness and originality. Just look at them! They’re flaaaaming~! Seriously, that hair. What kind of gel…? I don’t even… But, I like it.

    Anyway, can’t wait for that English info! Shushupu and Peropuff. Please name them well, Game Freak!
    I can’t even imagine a half-decent name for Shushupu right now, but I’m excited to see it evolve! I sense Fairy/Flying-type Flamingo~!
    Peropuff… you shaggy pup, you..! That cute face of yours better evolve into a poodle! I predict Peropuff’s English name to be Coddle. Lol, right? -_- It make some sense, though! D: Cotton Candy + Poodle! Right? Right..? No..? (◞‸◟;)

  49. Anyone else notice that Team Flare (who happens to wear all RED) is shown on the Pokemon Y version exclusive page and not on the BLUE Pokemon X version exclusive page! Maybe they just change to blue colored outfits in X or maybe there is another evil team.

    • I’m kinda bothered that they would reuse the Hoenn type teams. I would rather they had a grass type orientated evil team who were all “nature and mother nature”. They could wear rags and live very simple lives. Sorta like druids. It would be a good opposite to how over the top and dressy Team Flair is.

      But, yeah… Cotton Candy is known as Fairy Floss in some places like Australia. Hence, its Fairy-typing.

      Have you noticed Citron’s outfit has a Clauncher-like theme? That blue and yellow! Citron will most likely be an Electric-type Gym Leader, so it might be safe to predict that Clauncher will evolve into a Water/Electric-type~!
      Going with themes here, wouldn’t it be awesome if Citron had a Pokémon that looks like that sunny device behind him?
      A satellite Pokémon that’s an Electric/Steel type with the appearance of a sun, ya know, since we get light from electricity as well as the sun. Levitate being its ability, of course. I’d love that. Also, electricity and steel goes along well with him being an inventor.

      Reply
          • I was looking at Citron’s sun/arm/thing, and I noticed that the thing coming out of the middle somewhat resembles a lizard’s head. (Notice that I said SOMEWHAT). Anyway, the rays of this sun branching out from the middle resemble Helioptile’s frills. Could this hint at a Helioptile evolution?

          • Lol @ somewhat.

            It could be Helioptile’s evolved form. Since it is a heliophile it would make sense to have a sun-shaped frill around its neck. Hmm… Me likey. Hopefully, you’re right.

          • Well, if you look at Helioptile’s face and pull the yellow triangle out to a point, then double the point at the top of its head, it would look similar to the thing on Citron’s sun-arm.

          • Wonder what its type will be.
            Will it remain Normal/Electric-type or become a pure Electric-type. Maybe it’ll be (insert type here)/Electric-type?
            Hmm…

          • I think it will electric/rock 🙂 in a special recently it was anounced that it learns rock slide! It lives in a rocky area so yeah.. who knows 😉

          • I don’t think it’s so much a “heliophile” as a “helios (sun) reptile” — It’s frill is literally made of solar panels. I don’t think the sun comes into it any more than that’s where it gets it’s energy source.

          • That’s what I thought when I saw that solar thing on his back. It’s clearly Helioptiles evo.

  51. Do you think that typing order (e.g. to be Flying/Dragon or Dragon/Flying) must take some kind of benefit? Something like a bit more stab bonus..

    Reply
    • I agree with Similarity. Typing order has no benefits, whatsoever.
      I believe it’s mainly used to show the Pokémon’s main alignment.

      Some examples:
      Charizard – Fire/Flying-type. It’s strength lies in its Fire-type moves, yet its also adapted to flying through the skies. It’s similar to how typical dragon’s breathe fire and soar through the skies.
      Honedge – Steel/Ghost-type. This Pokémon is a sword first before it is inhabited by an ancient soul.
      Noivern – Flying/Dragon-type. I’d assume, since Noivern utilizes sound waves, its Flying-type is its primary type because sound usually travels through a medium that is usually air. Sound travelling through air is a repetitive disturbance of the air particles. The Flying-type incorporates actions used by birds as well as the wind and air.

      Hope that clarified things.

      Reply
        • http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Ambertwo

          AmberTwo, or Amber, is the deceased daughter of Professor Fuji (One of the scientists who created Mewtwo). Though Giovanni funded the researched to find Mew’s DNA and create ‘the strongest pokemon’, Fuji also used Mew’s DNA to try and give life back to Amber.

          AmberTwo, Mewtwo, SquirtleTwo, BulbasaurTwo and CharmanderTwo shared a brief moment in a limbo-like state called the ‘Remember Place’. In it, Amber explains to MewTwo about life. When MewTwo asks “Why am I born?”, AmberTwo answers “That is for you to find out”. Even just as she vanishes, she tells MewTwo, “Life is beautiful”. Meanwhile in real life AmberTwo dies in her chamber, but MewTwo is successfully created. This is why MewTwo is searching for “life’s purpose” in Movie 1, while also being unreasonably angry and sad.

          Here’s a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUzoWrcWgCI

          Unfortunately, this all happened only in the Japanese version of the movie. It was removed from the English version, because they thought the story was too dark for children. It’s a shame really, all it would have done is made the movie even better. It also would have answered MewTwo’s activities, instead of portraying MewTwo as a mad and stubborn villain.

Not only did they cut out the important backstory of Mewtwo, but left out the whole reason for Mewtwo to have acted that way in the first movie.

  54. wow, all this info is incredible! first, cool evolution of pancham, and i’m intrigued of its new evolution method. then, maaiika and kalameron are quite good, the first being nicer and the second looks so prepared for battle! and the new fairy pokemon are cute, overall Peropuff (which i thought it was a cloud with dog’s face and tail), but as I’m getting Y, i will have Shushupu, which i expected to be flying, as i like to have a flying pokemon, but i don’t want to have two fire pokemon in my team (fennekin and talonflame), so maybe i could get Shushupu and then i’d also have a fairy pokemon!

    the types of Xerneas and Yveltal were revealed by Hiro, and i trusted him, so i’m happy it has been finally confirmed! cool new characters (although i expect Zakuro to be Dark-type leader, because of its clothes and the image of the gym), but if it is good at sports and it has a look of a climber, then it could be Rock-type.
    and finally the features are also interesting! the o-powers (will have to make those minigames to get them?), the holocauster, so you can be updated with info of the Global Link and the “miracle trade” (which you haven’t mentioned)… what will it be?

  61. I don’t know if anyone has pointed it out yet, but the rotating element in the evolution of Maaiika makes sense just by looking at it and comparing it to its evolution. Maaiika’s tentacles, on the bottom of its body, become the “hair” on top of its evolution, the two strips on the sides of Maaiika’s head become its evolution’s arms, and the things on top of Maaiika’s head become its evolution’s feet! 🙂 I really hope this evolution method turns out to be true, I think it would be a cool addition to the lineup of evolution methods we currently have, not to mention it could open up opportunities for other such unique evolution methods that use conditions other than simply the ones in the game.

    Reply
  68. OMFG GUYS! I Was doing some hardcore thinking and I believe that I’m going to be 100% right on this one. It’s my theory.

    Shushup is a Fairy type Pokemon. It wasn’t given dual flying type because it WON”T evolve into a flamingo. Instead, it will evolve into a another Fairy based off of a Plague Doctor. Now here’s my theory. All the rumors from Pokebeach have turned out true so far, atleast 95% yes? Remember the rumor that Fairy Pokemon are weak against Steel and POISON? I emphasize the poison, because if you search up “Plague Doctor Costume” on wikipedia, the first line says:

    ” The plague doctor’s costume was the clothing worn by a plague doctor to protect him from airborne diseases. The costume consisted of an ankle length overcoat and a bird-like beak mask often filled with sweet or strong smelling substances (commonly lavender), along with gloves, boots, a brim hat and an outer over-clothing garment ”

    Shushup is to be protected from “airborne diseases” aka Poison type. Which Fairy is allegedly weak against. It’s ability is “Healer” and it learns “Aromatherapy” which is remiscent of being a “doctor” like the passage says and healing. The fact it is called the “Perfume Pokemon” is a spin on the doctor having sweet smells in his beak/mask because they believed this would prevent them from illnesses which it didn’t. I pray its evolution looks bad ass but it probably won’t.

    In other news, I love Inkay, Malimar, Pangoro & Peropuff. I love the spins on these guys. Like how Inkay is cute but evolves into ugly plays apart on the “reverse” thing. How Malimar’s squid body is designed to be upside down, it will evolve by leveling it up with the 3DS upside down like the rumors said. Sickening. I’m from the contintental US so we say “Cotton Candy”, but I love how people in other countries call it “Fairy Floss” and that was a unique way to come up with inspiration for making Cotton Candy Pokemon thats a fairy.

    I pray and hope on Aug 12 the “big scoop” that they say is gonna come consists of: Confirmation of the Stage 2 Starters being Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, Water/Fighting but don’t reveal the starters. Reveal Mewtwo Y form. Reveal a bunch of old Pokemon that evolve. And show about 10 more new pokemon lol. Preferably Helioptile evolution etc.

    • “And show about 10 more new pokemon”. Expecting too much, are we? I really think the “scoop” is going to be about the movie. Pokemon Smash’s next episode will be about the movie too.

    • Great theory, but I don’t get why we can’t have both a plague doctor and a flamingo all in one.
      I’m pretty confident Shushupu’s evo will look like both. Just look at its design. You can clearly see both of their traits; its face resembling the mask of a plague doctor and its pink, feathery body along with its pink legs/feet resembling that of a flamingo.
      I’m hoping for a Fairy/Flying-type with an ability that resists poison. :/

  70. Pokebeach rumours are proven true yet again!

    Pancham’s evolution, Goronda is called Pangoro in English, Maika is called Inkay, Karamanero is called Malamar, also the way Pancham evolves is said to be done using a new method (could be the one mentioned in the Pokebeach leaks) according to the official x and y website, “There appear to be Pokémon in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y that evolve in ways never before seen! One example is Pancham and Pangoro, but how do they evolve?”.

    The only thing that was wrong was that they mixed up the names of the professors that they leaked, it’s actually professor Sycamore who gives you your starters and if there will be another professor their name will most likely be Patrice and they will most likely give you one of the gen 1 starters.

    I’m just gonna list the english names of the leaked Pokemon and everything else:
    Goronda – Pangoro
    Maika – Inkay
    Karamanero – Malamar
    Peroppafu – Swirlix
    Shushup – Spritzee
    Geo control – Geomancy
    Death WIng – Oblivion Wing
    Professor Purataanu – Professor Sycamore
    Gym Leader Shitoron – Gym Leader Clemont
    Gym Leader Zakuro – Gym Leader Grant

    Here are my predictions for what type Grant’s gym will be. I think it will be a rock type gym, one reason I have to assume this is that his hair sort of resembles stalagmites which are a conical mineral deposit, usu. calcite or aragonite, built up on the floor of a cavern, formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water. Another reason is that he like mountain climbing, but that one can be cancelled out by that fact that he also likes playing sports and cycling. And that’s pretty all I got about him.
    Clemont’s gym as we’ve all guessed is most likely an electric type gym, considering that fact that he likes to invent think and his inventions look as if they are electronically powered. If he’s not an electric type gym leader then he has to be a Steel type gym leader because the inventions we have seen are very mechanical.
