The trailer which revealed Pokémon Sun & Moon, due for a winter release in 2016, also revealed the very first new Pokémon to be featured in the game. It appears to be a Flying-type bird normally seen at the beginning of each game. The clip briefly showed the wireframe animation model colored, but whether or not this is any indication of its actual color scheme remains to be seen.
Any early opinions about how this looks compared to other bird Pokémon (of which their are quite a few)? I definitely like the teardrop-esque shape of its head, although I hope it is not another Flying/Fire-type line like we had in X & Y.
If you’d like to watch the video again, I’ve included it down below and the new Pokémon appears at 1:48-1:49!

PS: For the sake of clarity, Magearna could possibly be the first revealed for the new games, but since it is appearing alongside Volcanion we don’t know for sure what game it will go to. This is the first Pokémon that we can reasonably say won’t be showing up in X&Y.
Looks pretty similar to a Pileated Woodpecker.
I have an idea. Just an idea. If it is based on a woodpecker, wouldnt it be cool if it’s second (if it has one) were either ground or grass type. Hear me out. Woodpeckers generally spend their time in trees. Trees are plants. Flying/Grass type. BUT being that it seems to have brown coloration and that it would be COMPLETELY unexpected, flying/ground type. I mean, we werent expecting Pokemon SM so pokemon could pull every trick out of the bag and some crazy awesome things with this game. But again, it is just an IDEA.
A Flying/Ground starting bird line would be absolutely awesome. I think you’re on the right track with that.
Ground/Flying
Besides its a Cardinal
I think i actually started a good convo for once. Im impressed with myself.
Just going by the color scheme, I want to predict that it could be a dark/flying or fighting/flying line. Of course this is not what I think Gamefreak is going to do (I don’t know what they are going to be doing for this set of games). I will be happy as long if it is not another normal/flying line. Even a pure flying line would be better just due to it being still novelty ping -there is really only Tornadus who is pure flying.
Well Tornadus makes sense as a pure flying type
Everyone knows the vast majority of all our flying types are winged creatures never one being a air elemental hence forth it was called bird type and Birds are mammals which the Normal type heavily embodies
But the sole exception is Tornadus whom is an air elemental and Noibat and Noivern as the only flying types with Flying as its primary type which somewhat makes sense since the majority of its attacks are wind and sound based with little Draconic influence
So unless the Creature has command of gales or mighty storms we are set and locked as Flying being a secondary type
Birds are not mammals, but I see your point.
alright but honestly do you?
Woodpecker idea is good. Although last generation gave us Fire/Flying, I think about fire typed woodpecker; maybe burning cavities inside trees with its fiery beak. I read here an idea that it evolves into majestic woodpecker that pecks even metals and caves itself home in industrialized zones.
What if Volcanion appears in Sun and Moon since it seems that the region is based on Hawaii. Volcanion has the ability to create islands and its name is practically volcano…
That is false
Volcanion’s explosive blasts can potentially destroy mountains and clear immense landscapes
There is no recorded information with creating land masses
> PS: For the sake of clarity, Magearna could possibly be the first revealed for the new games, but since it is appearing alongside Volcanion we don’t know for sure what game it will go to. This is the first Pokémon that we can reasonably say won’t be showing up in X&Y.
Volcanion is definitely in the XY / ORAS ROMs, but Magearna and this new bird Pokemon are definitely not.
As long as it’s not another flying/normal type I will be happy. Flying/dark is what I’m hoping for but only time will tell.
Hello, Pokemon #723! I believe that this is definitely a woodpecker Pokemon and belongs in the same vein as Starly, Pidgey, And Pidove. Beyond that, it’s very difficult to predict anything else.
Also, NINTENDO DIRECT TOMORROW! Not even a full week after the amazing Pokemon Direct! Nintendo is on a roll right now. Could we see our first Pokemon Sun and Moon footage? Probably not, but it’s a possibility! I’m expecting the announcement of Paper Mario Wii U as our big new game reveal (like TPHD was last time in November).
Speculation: When will we get box art Legnedaries? I’m thinking the next CoroCoro! What say you, oh wise one? ;D
I would be happy with what you said, and, either the reveal of the region (name of region and some significant locations) or the reveal of the starters.
I am hoping for Fire Ox for the starter
I…agree with you! I think there’s a possibility that this month’s CoroCoro will feature the starters (or at least silhouettes of the starters), with the box legendaries following in April. Either way, I suggest getting hyped for leaks next week 😉
Not gonna lie, I thought it was one of your delusional direct hoaxes but actually you are right
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GAIA PLEASE SHOW PAPER MARIO WII U AND DONT MAKE IT SUCK
In an off topic has anybody bought RBY?
Because honestly there hasn’t been much chatter on the beloved series
Well I’ve picked it up Midnight of the release and now I’m at Lord Giovanni’s gym hoping to usurp him
Badges: 7
Rhydon 45
Charizard 38
Vileplume 37
Electabuzz 39
Dewgong 41
And on rotation, Nidoking, Fearow, Graveler, Hypno, Zapdos, Articuno
Yes I have, but I only played a little bit of Blue so far with my friend. I’ve been playing through Y and Omega Ruby’s story over the past couple weekends.
Nice
But I’m determined to finally beat Red on a physical copy
Since all others have been erased or just plain failed to under leveling but I have a plan!
Rhydon is the key to winning a good majority but I also need to power level my whole team to the 60s to stand a chance
Electabuzz for Loriel
Vileplume/Dewgong (And Electrabuzz’s Psychic) for Bruno
Rhydon for Agitha
Dewgong for Lance
And for Blue Rhydon can tank EVERYONE Blue has except that Blastoise so ill cripple it with toxic and brave it until it dies
Wait, you never beat Red or Blue?
What point of my cartridge erased itself don’t you get
I tried to beat firered but I could never level high enough
Never even made it past Bruno
But I was a inexperienced child at the time and I will right this stain on my history
oh the essay you wrote was so long so I skimmed it
I haven’t yet but I plan to on my spring break in a few weeks
That would be nice
So, Nintendo Direct tomorrow! I wouldn’t expect any news on Pokémon Sun and Moon, since this is strictly on summer releases, but you never know. We don’t really know of any summer games (if any) for this year, so hopefully they surprise us!
Do we really get a nintendo direct tomorrow? If that is so. Its a big surprise for me. Because i didnt know that XD
We ARE getting one.
Surprise!!!
*GF just a snippet of SM please a snippet of something
😀 SOMEBODY REUPLOADED MY FAVORITE AMV
http://youtu.be/K7ioNInodLk
TRULY THE MOST EPIC FIGHT IN POKEMON HISTORY
Whats an AMV?
Anime music video 😛
Ok
Pokemon origins had some pretty epic battles too. Although they were short… But less is more!
just watch this and feel inspired to battle again
Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion & The Ingenious Magearna trailer will be shown on the Oha Suta today in Japan at 6:45am https://scontent-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xlt1/v/t1.0-9/12795373_463804850478197_6001724987735763720_n.jpg?oh=2125bf52a2b785f17c05afad8de0b432&oe=576BF29D
who knows maybe a little birdie will be roosting somewhere in the background
everyone keep your eyes peeled on every frame
It’s either a cardinal or woodpecker. I is definitely a Normal/Flying Type or Grass/Flying Type. I b. You could thank ShinyXatu for this comparison!
i say Normal/Flying
if it were a grass type it probably have some plant like coloration or plants in general
And it’s a prime candidate for Regional Bird
Speaking of which we still need
Starters
Regional Bird Check
Regional Rodent
Electrical Rodent
Pseudo Legend
Legend
Legend with an s at the end
Well sorry princess
I’m not being a perfectionist. I’m giving it a dramatic effect.
Well up yours too
Fossil Duo as well, Gen 2 may be a pattern breaker but at this point it seems like a solid bet.
Good reminder
But then again the Johto Region may get a pass because the regions were extremely close to each other and probably they just shared the same primal land and oceans
I could see a woodpecker being flying/steel
I agree….. its beaks should be made of steel
Why didn’t I think of that! A Flying/Steel type regional bird would be awesome!
This sounds crazy but this was my regional bird idea
Shardinal Normal/Flying
Sparroh Normal/Flying
Halbird Steel/Flying
Thank you, me!
Actually. It was ME who posted that comparison because I was impersonating you.
Don’t exactly know if this has been brought up what with the frequent articles and loads of comments to sort through, but has the possibility of the Moon legendary having control of water come up since the moon can affect the tides? (Again sorry if this has been brought up I have not read up on many theories about the games either)
It has come up indeed. People talked about the possibility of it having the water-type. Seems like an awesome idea to me.
Well there’s two roads
If it embodies the moon Dark/Psychic
If it IS the moon Rock/Ice
Cool starter ideas
Grass/flying peacock
Fire/Ice white tiger
Water/Fairy Water Nymph
I want new secondary types for starters, but im happy as long as fighting doesnt return in the starters, its been there since hoenn, break please! Same with pseudos, no dragon pseudos pleeeease.
And i think this is bird is the regional no doubt
We had our break this Gen haha.
Water fairy seems nice 🙂
Seems like a common mistake (because nobody actually cares about this starter) but what about Chesnaught?
What about chesnaught ? I was talking fore not I general haha I see what you meant tho lol 🙂
These starter selections sound amazing. I would opt for the Peacock to maybe be Grass/Fairy, since they’re not really known for Flying (ik peacocks could fly). An Fire/Electric Tiger starter would be awesome, and I would love to see a Dolphin take the role as the Water Type starter, becoming Water/Psychic.
I’d die if they made a Grass/Fairy peacock. Sounds so cool! For the Water/Psychic dolphin, I’m not sure. It’s getting too old. Literally everyone in the Fakemon community has made a Water/Psychic dolphin, which is a sign for me that GF will never do it (well, maybe they will, but don’t think so).
Fire/Ice you better back that up
May I ask anyone who downloaded RedBlueYellow do you have a Chancey that your willing to trade. I simply CANNOT capture one. My patience is just gone I swear I’m not joking I’m on 50 yes 50 resets on the safari zone to catch it and it can’t be done haha she just runs away. Please can anyone help me haha ???
Get in line buddy
I’ve spent hours looking for one
I finally got one and the Pokeball misses
That failure caused the thrill of finishing the dex to die
And don’t forget to start saving your chips cuz you’re gonna need a Porygon bucko
Lol I’m way ahead PAL. All I need is chansey. I sailed through the rest. O finished this dex before and I’ll do it again lol
If you want a hand let me know buddy
How’d you do it so fast, did you cheat?
Just wondering, would anyone be interested in a pokejungle community fakemon region?
We had one for a while in the form of a fan game Jade Jungle
But our head of production left us and the project died down
So we do not,
But on the other hand I myself have been writing my own dex clocking around 67
Ah, cool! I’ve been making fakes for my own dex with like 30(?) designed right now
Nyce
I haven’t drawn them yet just brainstorming ideas concepts and origins
And naming them
Once I think of 130 I will draw them
Do you have starters yet?
I usually brainstorm, draw and then name them because drawing them gives me better ideas for names.
My latest one is a Water/Steel Crab with knife like pincers and indestructible iron carapace
And it is extremely ill tempered because of its defense
Nice idea. Have you thought of names yet?
Rustacean
I can’t think of its evo name
That’s an awesome name!
But now I need a name for a nearly sociopathic Metal Crab monster who can easily carve out a Wailord into fillets by sunrise
And their pincers can cut a tanker, that’s why this species have been relocated to barren icy oceans so they don’t attack ships
I do have starters!
Mine are
Sproot
Cuburn (this one might be revised)
Dottle
Nice! Mine are
Frondeer
Scalight
Soakite
Hmmmm Soakite sounds familiar
It’s a Water/Flying bat right?
Water/Electric at the final evolution
Remember Dropat?
Wasn’t that the name I pitched?
Sure was!
Damn I knew I was good for something
Scalight and Soakite sound too familiar in my opinion…
Yeah rookie mistake
All starters must follow this code
Not be based on objects
Must be animals
They cannot share a body type or similar species
And they must not sound alike
It’s the Pokemon code!
Have you seen my starters? What do you think of them. Posted them a couple of minutes ago.
It’s more like the Gamefreak code of honor
And I follow this code to my heart
Scalight’s may be redesigned/scrapped anyway, so it’s good you pointed that out!
What’s the concept
It’s a lizard/chameleon, but it’s too similar to the charmander line which is why it’s being scrapped
Yeah I ran into issues with my Fire type
Because recently I’ve been totally interested with a Fire Ox Pokemon
And my Fire Lion Cub was kinda going nowhere
And I already have a Grass Elephant
But I cannot have two mammalian Pokemon on the same roster
It would throw the whole spectrum off
I’d love to help too drawing Fakemon. I don’t know if you had seen it before, but I posted my starters some weeks ago. (by the way, they’re like 4 years old…)
Who was our head of production, again?
ShinyNoivern
Oh yeah.
Cute I’ve 100+ but if you need a hand with ideas let me know I’ve been pumping them out for years I started my first Pokemon dex since before you were born lol
Alright where’s the proof
SlipperSceptile + Ooks were apart of one of them.
The rest are my own personal deisgn and ideas. Which can be read in an above comment if you check
And what comment is that
TheFlashZap please scroll up ? giggle
I’m not seeing any links
No links no proof
Links to what ? I know ur not right but please be clearer.
If you have said hundreds of fakemons you must have a database
So either you’re boasting or you got a link for your stuff
I use Google drive. I find it absolutely laughable that you get so defensive simply because I’ve made more fakemons than you. Honestly it’s a little sad how you don’t believe anyone because they are better at something than you.
I’ve also seen you claim ideas as your own so myself , Slips and Ooks will be keeping ours to ourselves until we do our full reveal.
I’m the person who’s been visiting this site the longest for the last 7+year’s so I won’t be listening to your silliness, you’ve been banned before so don’t start. this is probably all just a fad for you.
You don’t have to be an ass
Well I try being nice to you and don’t listen ? If you look back over the comments I wished you a happy Christmas at Christmas and you called me a troll ? That’s being an ass.
You’re always an ass
I mean it’s fine you’re working on a dex but really that 1up attitude seriously uncalled for
Incorrect. Let’s just move on from it noone wants to argue so let’s just put it behind what do you say ?
Absolutely not
I’m not letting you go Scott free with that kinda tude
Lets base off either UK or boston!
I would probably prefer somewhere a bit more exotic, oceania perhaps? boston seems a bit too similar to unova’s new york inspiration
Mines is either Germany or Russia
Hehe u are right but oceania sounds cool specially australia with its red deserts, great barrier reef, eucalyptus forests, etc
I thought you were here when we did Jade Jungle.
Was Jade Jungle ever finished? I was here to help with the start but then I left for a while. EDIT: Read the comments below, sorry.
Nope.
I still have all the assets on my computer though
Team Eda will rise again
Under their Leader!!!
Sounds good, let’s give Milotic a mega.
Let’s not
Myself and 2 others startered we have roughly 100 Pokémon a full region, towns , cities elite four gym leaders etc all done out 🙂
Oh wow! Do you have designs for the fakemon?
Yes 🙂 I have the names and stats on Google drive and then the designs I just did on actual paper 🙂
Looks like it could be the Regional Bird of the games at the basic stage. That is my best guess. There’s some people in other communities that think this is Fletchling. Lol. That’s all I got to say to them.
http://youtu.be/3o0bF-lekRc
Barely any magearna info, but it can roll up. Also it takes in AoT set. Very interesting, but t doesn’t look good
Oh now watching this trailer I’m wondering if they’re gonna show any SM Pokemon???
Magearna = Bakugan confirmed
love the animation
VOLCANION CAN FLY?!?!??!!???!??!??
/and mega steelix
Magnetic waves
But no Magnet Pull v.v would have been an excellent ability
Actually upon further examination it’s just Steelix leaping into the air
Magnet Pull still would have been an amazing ability for it
No,
Volcanion can fly
http://i.imgur.com/iFpgTCx.jpg
Haha that’s mad 😀
That is beyond awesome
Iron man….flying to the helicarrier…?
Interesting that in this trailer it basically confirms that the Noivern in the next Japanese episode is Ash’s. I guess since it’s gonna air tomorrow (which is today for Japan) it doesn’t really matter anymore lol
Also starting this Friday
People who still have Pokebank will receive HA Golems
Mehhhhh sand veil is not better than sturdy, we should get some sucker punch golems
But Regirock’s is Sturdy
Regice Ice Body
And Registeel Light Metal
ooooooog, I thought you mean the pokemon golem lol.
I guess I should get these with celebi
Well that’s a folly on my end but nonetheless this Friday Legendary Golems with their HA
That makes me happy. I like being rewarded for using Pokebank
So, is this AZ in the movie? I’m guessing that he is the one who create Magearna. He looks much older in the actual games assuming that it’s him.
Looks like Leonardo Da Vinci
Interesting observation. Would love for someone to do a facial comparison between this image and AZ.
Some official artwork.
AZ looks completely different from the old man in the movie. I imagine they are 2 different people. Even if that is him i don’t c how he looks older in the games compared to the movie. i think the old man in the movie looks older by comparison.
It’s a Grass/Flying Peacock!
? what is?
Clearly not this Bird
Yeah, I don’t see any tail at all, and it’s certainly not got grass type colors
New article btw!
So hyped!!!!! Can’t wait for new scoop.
Coro Coro should leak in about 8-10 days, so exciting!!!!!
I hope CoroCoro reveal the mascot legendaries and starters. The suspense is killing me.
Hopefully! ^_^
I’m rooting for Starters, Mascots and PC designs.
Personally, I want a fire/dark type as a starter for once! It’d be cool if the fire starter geared away from the Chinese Zodiac and went with a bear… And a water/ghost dolphin would be rad.
and a ghost type eeveelution and dragon type eeveelution
