UPD: Ammended some details below in bold
The February issue of popular children’s comic magazine CoroCoro is leaking in Japan. Details are just coming in so please bear with us as we update this post. Please refresh this article to see any updates.
Movie XY & Z 2016
- The next Pokémon movie is set to release on July 16th and will feature Volcanion (something we already knew). Volcanion is said to hate humans and lives in a clockwork/mechanical land where Ash will meet him
- An announcement that’ll “engulf the whole world” will be revealed in the next issue. It’s anyone’s guess as to why it’ll affect the whole world, care to guess?
Games
- Garchomp, Mewtwo and Braixen have all been confirmed as playable characters in the Wii U version of Pokkén Tournament, releasing March 18th. A new fighter is still set to revealed on the 15th!
- Three distributions have been confirmed for March in Japan. The first is part of the Pokémon Scrap campaign and features Eevee in its Shiny form, next is a special distribution of the Legendary Bird Trio all featuring their previously unavailable Hidden Abilities and finally is a Master Ball distribution
- Perfect Zygarde will be the Ultimate Tretta in the Japanese arcade game. Black and White Kyurem are also set to appear as Legend Tretta

The only way Pokemon could “affect the entire world” is if the main series games go mobile/pc.
*ahem* a possible worldwide movie release
I wasn’t sure at first, but I suppose it could happen. I feel like that wouldn’t b big to the Japanese tho. They’re getting it in July no matter what so I feel like it would only b big to the rest of the world
I won’t watch it regardless
I guess that’s true, that would definitely affect the entire world. But I feel like the Pokemon anime caters to a very certain demographic, some Pokemon players don’t even watch the anime. So it would be like a “major announcement… for some people”
Whatever the announcement is im getting my hopes up cause I haven’t had my hopes up in awhile even if it’s lame I’ll be ok with it. lol
I can’t wait for Red and Blue
but what’s everyone gonna catch
i need to have at least Rhydon, Nidoking or Aerodactyl but i need a little variety
Blastoise, Golem, Arcanine, Raichu or Electabuzz, Pidgeot, and Victreebell. I think.
I don’t even know.Probably Blastoise, Mew (I’m doing the glitch as soon as possible), Gengar, Jolteon, Ninetales and Scyther
-At the first look i think Garchomp is the one have the Japanese character “ラ” on his name and ask my self y i had a dream on Swampert pic 2 days ago before that announcement ?……but i get it now it’s will be him.
– I think Delphox is sutible to this game may be they prefer Braxien cuz she has uncovered legs idk.
-Hating human is not new in pkmn world like Mewtow and Ho-oh.
Garchomp has a similar character, but it’s not the one they teased. There will still b another Pokemon revealed tomorrow.So ur dream about Swampert could b true still. I’m still of the side that it’ll b Heracross tho. lol
i still think Swampert because the blue and orange but that would just piss me off because Hoenn is getting all these free rides
Except that Mega Heracross is also blue and orange. Either is very likely.
i really don’t think that’s the case
I would love Heracross to get the spot but lets face it, Gamefreak is milking the Hoenn Pokemon to death because they crapped out ORAS
and besides Mega Heracross is blue and bloody red-orange and yellow not the iconic Bright Orange that is undoubtedly associated with Swampert’s Gills
I don’t know if you saw it, but there was a graph where 50 people working on the game (who somehow did not know the Pokemon but were told afterwards) predicted the Pokemon. Only 1 person out of the 50 got the prediction right. I feel like Swampert would have been a popular choice, but I’m not sure.
oh please we already have Blaziken and Sceptile its pretty freaking obvious
The Pokemon New 3DS hasn’t been put up on Amazon yet, has it?
Nope
Alright, good to hear. I hope you guys keep me posted in case news sites are slow to report it.
It makes me sad that all legendary Pokemon talk now….
Telepathy
Yeah, but still. It used to be unique. I don’t think Reshiram and Zekrom should have it, I don’t think Diance should have it and I definitely don’t think Volcanion should have it.
Well when you think about it nearly any psychic type Pokemon could project it’s thoughts into anothers subconscious as a form of communication
But you’re going to have to let this one slide it’s Pokemon Movies 101 that all protagnistic/antagonistic Legendary/Mythical Pokemon utilize Telepathy for plot and character convenience
I just hope that this instance Volcanion actually is just a jerk for once and not the cliche betrayed, hurt or runaway experiment like all the others to make it hate humans
But judging by the given “mechanical land” setting I can theorize that the people either depended or abused Volcanion’s steam as a means of powering their technology and Volcanion had enough of it and flew the coop or that it was asked by the natives to blow apart the land to clear out a place to live then they got greedy. So many kinds of reasons to hate
I don’t think any pokemon should talk. It’s stupid. I liked how it was in origins when they made animal sounds. It’s understandable that Digimon can talk because they’re programed to. But that’s the reason I hate the anime and movies. The Mewtwo one and the 4 Ever and the Entei movies were good though.
Yeah. That was so much better.
Origins should’ve just been the anime. It was so good
Mewtwo should’ve been the only one. All the others sound stupid when they do.
Yeah
~ lowkey kinda hoping Volcanion kills Ash in the movie so we can have a new protagonist ~
OMG FUCK YAAAAAS AND THEN WE CAN HAVE A SERIES ABOUT HOW DADDY BYRON AND ARCHIE BUDDY GET MODELING CAREERS
Keep in your pants
Isn’t today the day the new Pokkén fighter is revealed?
It’s tomorrow. I suspect that by tonight we will have the fighter revealed as it’ll b the 15th in Japan by then.
Oh okay. I thought the reveal date was the 14th.
Is the anime as popular as the games in Japan? I don’t understand this huge focus on it
they did this for the first time I mean the rule is get the game bfore the anime .. what happen in this year is really special.
Chandelure is the new playable Pokémon in Pokkén Tournament?
Yes sir, please take all of my money. All of it.
This literally shocked me!! Sure it’s a great addition, but compared to all of everyone’s guesses (including my own of Heracross) it’s so different!! I’m really looking forward to how it plays
That’s pretty cool putting chandelure in like that now gengar isn’t the only ghost type in there.
