The teaser for next month’s CoroCoro issue, due for release on August 12th 2013, is said that the magazine will contain the biggest scoop of the century. We’ll provide details on that next month.
OMG.
Keep in mind that Corocoro really exaggerates their teasers. I think the “scoop” will just be about Mewtwo.
Even so, if there is another forme for Mewtwo to go along with the rumors from Pokebeach, then it would of been in this weeks CoroCoro seeing as the movie is out tomorrow in Japan. Then again, it could be that the other forme if there is one will be shown elsewhere.
They could just talk about its Awakened Form in next week’s CoroCoro and hint at its second form.
I doubt its second form will be revealed in the movie, so I see this as a viable possibility.
So considering Corocoro is coming out on the 13th does that mean the site will most likely update on the 13th too?
Since it’s a simultaneous worldwide release, yes. The leak is a leak it’s not official so TCPi waits for CoroCoro to release officially in Japan so it could be simultaneous.
Yeah, or even tomorrow (12th) because the hour difference.
I want a Bug-type Pokemon based off of the anormenis chloris. Look it up. Cutest bug ever.
What the hell?? That shit is not cute! D:
That anormenis chloris or whatever. Now I’m afraid to look into a bag of cotton.
Well I happen to think it’s adorable. ^-^
You wanna see cute? How ‘about this pic.
A sinister spider disguising itself as a ladybug. 😀
What’s that? Oh, you don’t trust ladybugs anymore?
Here are some acutal beautiful bugs.
Introducing the cutest spider ever, the peacock spider, and dew covered insects.
Anormenis Chloris looks too much like a Cicada bug, which they already have a pokemon for. Nincada, Ninjask
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.
why mewtwo on themovie is a female ?
What if team flare tries to burn down yggdrasil for some reason? (provided that it is in the game of course and norse mythology is the basis of the game) Idk it’s kind of a random thought but just something to think about.
I dont know if anyone pointed this out here but shushuppu (the pink bird) could be based off of a plague doctor. check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctor_costume
That’s cool. As long as it evolves into a plague doctor flamingo, I’m OK with it.
>:]
that would be epic. crossing my fingers for that to happen
Cross your toes, too! We need this to happen!
And don’t forget to cross your legs. You must sit… like a laaady~
Crossing your arms might help, too. Can ya cross your eyes? Do it!
We’ll get that plague doctor flamingo one way or another!
lmao i will cross every body part possible for this to happen
I think Shushupu is going to be a flamingo. It has the beak, wings, and the legs even thought it is small and will probably 90% evolve. Flamingos like to dance and Shushupu looks like a ballerina too. What does everyone else think?
flamingos FTW
I’m looking at the scan again, but it doesn’t seem to mention Drain Kiss shielding damage, just that it damages the opponent and heals the user. Am I missing something, or is this an error?
I’ll get someone to look into it.
The new movie is going to be release today in Japan. Like at what time you might be posting information of the movie?
Just hated all of them
no one cares
Hey, Caserin. Aren’t you a Luvdisc? Why you gotta be such a “Hatedisc?”
Spread the love, girlie!
I want to know if here we will could watch the New Pokemon Movie in this site
No. That would require us to break the law, something we’re not going to do 😛
So, we have Pokemon that evolve when they learn certain moves. Does anyone think it’s possible that we could get a Pokemon that evolves when it forgets a move. A squirrel or a warthog, maybe? Both are quite forgetful creatures. 😉
I’d hardly call a squirrel forgetful. Yeah, they leave some nuts behind, but they have a better spacial memory than humans do. Or do you think you could find hundreds of nuts that you buried months ago?
See that lava pool? Could that machine hold all the lava, magma, etc.? I figured since the antagonists have to do with fire and then I see that maybe this is something that has to do with Team Flair’s/Flare’s other goal?
Honestly I think the whole desert is just a take on alternative power sources, and the lava is geothermal power. Hence the wind turbines and similar green energy feel for the desert. The desert is Kalos’s take on a power plant.
Anyone else think Zakuro might be a girl? “He” has an awfully slim waistline…
He also has awfully small boobs.
I think he might also have a penis. :O
She can be transgendered.
I believe that Shushuppu is going to evolve into a flamingo Pokemon. it’s typing what I believe is probably going to be fairy / poison, on top of that if you notice, Shushuppu’s face kind of looks like the masks that the doctors wore during the bubonic plague. also I believe that it’s evolutions typing is going to be fairy poison because biologically flamingos eat in lakes that are very very toxic
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.
my guess is that if there is a ‘Y’ form i would be introduced in the movie
“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.
i don’t think there big scoop will be about a movie that will have been out for a month by then. it might be about the anime though
you’re correct about shushups evolution. its long beak gives it away 🙂
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. :/
you know the grass move that it shows that chespin has is vine whip which as of BW has a pp of 15 so it looks like vine whip will get a pp increase to 25
Hey everyone. Enjoy Tacorupt, the deliciously spicy pokemon.
Great Fakemon!
Haha, thank you! I thought its evolved form could be… “Quesplosion” or maybe “Boarrito”.
I was hoping Xerneas would at least be part grass type 🙁
Me too, that was the whole reason I wanted Pokemon X.
That’s real or fake? Because I doint like it!! Fennekin looks like a female
this has already been proven fake
CoroCoro already leaked out.
I think it’s pretty safe to say it’s fake.
It’s Fake bro.
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.
