I’m glad there’s no info, ’cause I’m on vacation in Krakau, Poland with my university and I wouldn’t be able to take part in a conversation 🙂
SUN AND MOON DETAILS NEXT ISSUE
ITS A 35 DAY WAIT
also some kinda big countdown
If we’re lucky enough we’ll get the silhouettes
It doesn’t sound like we’ll get much though.
You bite your tongue!
It’s true, it sounds like we’ll get just as much as direct gave us.
Finally beat the Pokemon Yellow league (and even caught all 3 birds before)
Pikachu lvl 58
Charizard lvl 58
Nidoking lvl 58
Venusaur lvl 57
Blastoise lvl 58
Snorlax lvl 57
Now to snag Mewtwo and get as many of the Pokemon I can before moving onto Red or Blue next (I bought both and even have my teams planned out)
Where’d you get those starters?
It’s Pokemon Yellow…?
I didn’t know you got them in-game
But man I hate the RB Leveling Process
Like all of mine are still mid 40s except my pride and joy Rhydon at 53
Well might as well go slaughter Cerulean Cave Chanseys
Nvm didn’t know you get them in-game
I really gotta power level my team
But question is should I try and find a Dratini and make a powerhouse Dragonite
Or keep my ol’ Aerodactyl
Aero is fast but doest have a lot going for it in terms of movepool
‘Nite…is just ‘nite. Varied move pool however a pain to level up/evolve.
All depends on how distracted you can be to level grind
That was my team exactly except they were all 10-15 levels lower.
Nice job!
y I am still refreshing serebii after corocoro leak? ……is that kind of Syndrome or something?
Because we all want it
But I can garuentee that next issue will contain some information on S&M
But they also claim to start a countdown on the site and if we play our cards right, the Site will tease a silhouette of some kind and the next Corocoro will fill in the blanks
I give it a week or two
But they say the next issue will drop April 15. Until then we will bide our time with trivial nonesense
You’re not alone bud
that’s not good.
Let’s hope the S&M hype makes me come here more often 😀
So what does everyone think Pokemon Elections could be?
It seems to have something to do with the movie. Maybe they’re gonna run a poll to see which movie people like more?
Maybe, but it said it for just the volcanion one. I think they want the fans to decide something for the movie itself maybe….
Hmmmm maybe the distribution that fans get AT the movie then? If Volcanion is the pre-order Pokemon then there is typically one they get when they actually go. I doubt that they would give fans thae option to change anything IN the movie as that would be dumb and be way more work than it would be worth.
This is what I was just thinking on actually.
Volcanion, the star of the movie is the pre booking mon. Usually the star is given out when you see the movie, and pre booking( I believe) is something like a side character’s pokemon in the movie, such as the shiny hydreigon/golurk for BW. I’m thinking it could be Magearnna as the main star, because if they fans choose the distribution you get at the movie, how could it top Volcanion?
The fact they they are also counting down to it is something to consider as well…
It could decide which Pokemon is offered as a download for players in conjunction with the movie. That’s the only thing I can think of.
That’s possible. I don’t know what it is, but the last time they told us they had big news for Volcanion’s movie, it was certainly big. It gave us Magearnna, so I wonder if this could somehow be just as big….
Well I can’t say I’m surprised as them starting the info on SM next month was what I figured all along with or without them actually saying anything. I will say it’s nice to have solid confirmation tho. At least we know that next month we’ll get SOMETHING and to be honest since we have absolutely nothing at this point anything can be considered big news. They could show us a small cropped picture of the tail of a silhouetted Pokemon and that would be more than we have now. lol
Thinking about the starters and looking to past generations, we can assume the fire starter will be one of the remaining animals in the chinese oroscope. Most of the last water starters were related to war or to positions of command someway (Blastoise has guns, Empoleon is an Emperor, Samurott a Samurai and Greninja a Ninja). It seems there’s no reason behind the choice of the grass starters if not to relate them to the water and the fire ones in the last two generations.
This said, we have had a fighting type starter since gen 3, no more fyre/fighting I hope and we just got a grass/fighting in 6th gen. Due to most of the water starters being power-related I think we will have a water-fighting starter for 7th gen. I don’t think they will repeat the dark/fighting/psychic trio again so maybe a fighting/rock/flying or fighting/ice/flying or fighting/fairy/steel trio
grass starters are based off of prehistoric creatures. Even chespin is based off of the first prehistoric mammal, Megazostrodon.
Let’s see all starters are either attack, speed or bulk or a combination of one or two, it follows a vague pattern
Venusaur Bulk, Charizard Sp Atk, Blastoise Bulk
Meganium Bulk, Typhlosion Sp Atk, Feraligatr Attack
Sceptile Speed, Blaziken Speed, Swampert Attack
Torterra Bulk, Infernape Speed, Empoleon Sp Atk
Serperior Speed, Emboar Attack, Samurott Dual Attack
Chesnaught Bulk, Delphox Sp Attack, Greninja Speed
And for secondary types it’s usually pure and fighting as dictated by 4 glorious generations
Honestly it really matters what kind of Direction GF goes and their ways, I mean some type combos like Electric, Dragon, Rock, Poison and ice (outside Water) are very unlikely
We must remember they think out the starters origins with the utmost thought and research they just don’t just slap on whatever for reasons, and you must take in consideration how players can use these Pokemon as they train and learn
I would bet a Grass hyper Special Attacker, Fire Bulk, Water bulk
Empoleon is more of a special wall to be honest
Not going by competitive standards
Going by dominate stats
Then wouldn’t Blaziken be Atk?
Blaziken would be attack then.
I’d like to see a defensive fire & water type, with an offensive grass! They should really mix things up.
Hopefully no more fighting starters! Fairy, electric, ice, dragon, ghost, Rock, etc would be good as we’ve not had those. It’s also been a while since there’s been a dual typed first stage starter, with only Bulbasaur. It would be cool if there was another.
Who notices the blue and yellow diamonds in Pokemon sun and moon logos?
That means nothing. It’s not like the rainbow dna thingies meant anything for X and Y >.>
Sure it did. It was mega evolution
He was joking XD
? that went over my head
Insert Drax “Nothing goes over my head…”
I was kidding but okay nice to meet you I’m Nick c:
Hopefully they’re not related to Pokemon-human fusion
I think that’d be too hard… If they do customizable characters, everyone is different. Plus, they’d have to do two different versions, a boy and a girl depending on who you choose.
So what does everyone want for next month’s corocoro? Would you like to see starter Silhouettes or straight up reveal them? Part of me just wants actual pictures so that we can get on to more interesting reveals, but the fan art can be kinda fun! I think I’d like to see starter Silhouettes, trainer art, and reveal of the legendaries.
I’d like straight up reveals, but it’s important to remember that Masuda’s coming on that pokemon show today
True! Maybe he’ll reveal Silhouettes and then corocoro will officially reveal em’
Sounds entirely possible, there have been major reveals on these types of shows in the past
Is today the day that Masuda, Ohmori, and Morimoto are on? I thought they just recorded the episode recently and it wasn’t airing for another 3-4 weeks. If they’re on today I’m not 100% sure we’ll get anything of note. Otherwise I feel like we would have gotten something in CoroCoro. Usually if they do reveal anything, including silhouettes the episode isn’t too far off from the reveal in CoroCoro. so I feel like they would show silhouettes off the weekend before next month’s issue more so than now.
When will this air?
It typically airs around……..hmmm they changed the time I think for this new show let me think…..I wanna say it’ll air around 530 pm or 6 pm EST? I haven’t watched in a while so I’m a bit out of touch, but that’s the general time frame I believe
Silhouettes of starters and Box Legendaries.
I really like silhouettes, they should do sillohuettes for everything. Keeps the hype, but also satisfies.
Agreed! Speculation is one of the best parts of new games
I don’t expect much, considering how little info we’ve received so far. I’d like starters (doesn’t have to be their evolutions) and box art and characters. Also it’d be nice if we got the region. But, I feel like I’m asking a lot of them…
A map of the region would be great. That’s always my favorite part.
I like to know the name, and starters and the characters. Yes, I’m a boy but occasionally I play one of my versions as the female character.
We will probably get a release date too… since 2016 is written so big and bold…
omg how awesome would it be to have one of the starters end up with fairy typing in one of their final evo’s I would cry tears of joy <3
Also bug. There’s never any love for bug ;-; water/bug please!!!
I would love a bug starter too tbh
Bug is would be awesome!
I think it’d be difficult to see a big starter. Typically big Pokemon evolve so quick. If they change that then maybe… What type of bug would it be?
Well it could just be some sort of crab. Crustle is a bug type and it’s based on a hermit crab so I could see it happening.
Fire or water fairy! A grass fairy hummingbird.
I think a grass/fairy would be cool although I typically don’t go for grass starters. Could be a neat game changer.
Think the background f the images means it’s more day/ night than space. Which I’m glad about because Sinnoh’s already done space.
Kid Cudi already did day and nite.
What if……..now stay with me here……..in Pokemon Sun and Moon……..they got rid of…….
the day and night cycles lol
So… one is always daytime and the other is always nighttime! Nice! Heh heh heh.
U made that way more clever than I had meant it to b hahaha
Interesting but then I could only have my Umbreon in moon!
Always day in Sun and Always night in moon. Or better yet. Always day in moon and always night in Sun.
U all are making my idea way more clever and smart than I had intended hahaha I was just joking as the mechanic is all about having the sun and Moon coming and going, but u all r giving me way too much credit lol
Ayyy Sun and Moon news next month!!
I’ve been replaying Y and paying attention to NPCs and dialogue that could be potentially foreshadowing. I haven’t found much, but There is a scientist in the Couriway Pokemon center who says “A device that lets you become a Pokemon… Would anyone want to do that?”
Could this be a hint at the concepts from Reburst?
Interesting to say the least.
Also I think Lysandres equipment from when he “mega evolves” for the final battle is worth taking another look at.
The device on his wrist could be related to Magearna and/or the Azoth kingdom. The color and design is at least similar. And his drones or whatever are some interesting mechanical pieces.
Just something to speculate on.
I’ve restarted both my X versions and I’m about to transfer my Y Pokemon over and restart my Y so I can look for hints too… Plus, I restart the games often cause it can get boring after you finish the game… I hope for Kalos and Unova starters getting mega in Sun and Moon though…. I say Kalos because for some reason I think the Sun and Moon region and the Kalos region are connected in some way.
I really hope we dont get human pokemon fusion but it looks like that is what is happening. Oh well. I trust Game Freak will pull it off
No, it doesn’t look like that is happening. There is literally nothing hinting at Burst being in Gen 7. Nothing at all. It’s a worse theory than Gen 6.5
Long post here but i hope you enjoy this :
There are loads of comments about the symbols in the Japanese logos. It was the mega symbol last time for XY.
This time it’s the concept of burst. Its when you and your Pokémon connect just like mega evolution in game. Its seen in alot of typical anime. Now this is seen with the ash Greninja.
Its not going to be as run of the mill as having a good relationship with Pokémon it will work just as mega evolution does but in some cases the Pokémon will have the chance to “burst” leading to this type of mega evolution hence the different color animation from the movie trailer.
Just like the DNA splicers a Pokémon can be forced into this with the required stone ( the symbols in the logos ) hence again the animation looking darker than standard mega evolution as it is burst evolution leading to the sudden evolution mega evolution against the will of the Pokémon.
The device in the trailer is some sort of staff with that in it. Forcing the mega ( burst ) evolution.
Now this is my opinion but I’m fairly confident this is how it will go. I’ve seen some youtubers have a similar theory Tyranitar tube being the closest but he goes I to some really technical stuff which Pokémon just won’t do.
But yeah mark my words screenshot it and blackmail me haha but “burst” its coming 🙂 😉
It’s not burst. The burst hearts don’t even look like the crystals in the logo. And if you can give me a reason why it makes any sense to take a failed mechanic from a cancelled manga 5 years ago and put it in the games now, I’d love to hear it.
My money is on the crystals being like the Red and Blue Orb. Since the opposite color is in each, maybe the Moon crystal gives the Sun Legendary a Lunar Eclipse form, and the Sun crystal gives the Moon Legendary a Solar Eclipse form, or something like that. Or they could just be plot points like the orbs were originally in RSE, not actually being held items but just Key Items.
Sorry you must be new ? That’s a cute theory you have but when it happens you’ll come back to me 🙂 Also read back from the ladt few articles that point was made long ago about the crystals. Lol
No, I’m not new. And my theory makes a lot more sense than the burst theory.
First of all, the think in the new movie has nothing to do with the crystals in the SM logos or Burst. It’s something completely unique to the movie that’s just part of the movie’s plot. The bad guy has a device that forces Pokemon to mega evolve. That’s it.
Burst has nothing to do with mega evolution, and it has nothing to do with the movie or the new games. The ReBurst manga was cancelled because it was unpopular and a bad idea. Pokemon Company would have to be stupid to take a failed idea like that and make it a focus point for the new Generation. And like I said, the burst hearts don’t even look like the 4 sided jewels in the logos. See for yourself
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Burst
Giggle you said that twice now. And I never said that haha. Please look at the facts then come back 🙂
What facts? You claim that Ash-Greninja is burst, when it clearly isn’t.
You also refer to different color in the animation in the movie. I assume you mean the new trailer for M19? If that’s the case, the thing there is NOT Burst. It’s some type of forced mega evolution. Which isn’t what burst is. Burst has absolutely nothing to do with Ash-Greninja, it has nothing to do with forced mega evolution, it has nothing to do with Sun and Moon.
Read above where I say it is forced mega evolution hahah can you not read. This is getting a bit embarrassing now, probably better you think first 😉
I did read that. You say its burst causing the forced mega evolution. And that’s just wrong.
Somebody needs to go back to school, but judging by your behaviour and literacy skills your probably still there. Probably best you realise how silly you’ve made yourself look.
“the Pokémon will have the chance to “burst” leading to this type of mega evolution hence the different color animation from the movie trailer.”
“the Pokémon will have the chance to “burst” leading to this type of mega evolution hence the different color animation from the movie trailer.”
How about instead of insulting me, you go back and look at your own words. These are quotes from your post.
I do not mean any insult ! I welcome all people here, don’t feel the disagreement is in any way a disrespect. Everyone had their own opinion. The burst is from being forced to mega evolve. If you don’t agree fine but more than likely this forced mega evolution is going to happen.
I agree with you in that I don’t think it’s a Burst mechanic, as in Pokémon and Humans fusing. I do however think it does represent something new in the games.
Whether that’s some sort of Mega Evolution-like mechanic that is based on the bonds between human and trainer (the Pokémon takes on traits of the trainer, for example) or some sort of forced Mega Evolution that does something I can’t think of. It could also be something completely different.
I just don’t think Burst is something that really “fits” with core series games.
(This is so badly written, but I don’t care)
I really don’t think it’s any of that. The forced mega evolution is almost guaranteed to just be in the new movie. Stuff in the movies usually just stays in the movies. The crystal in his staff doesn’t even look the same, being more oval shaped than diamond.
And Ash-Greninja has already been confirmed as anime-only. The mechanic could technically still appear, but I really doubt it. It just gives off the vibe of being something created explicitly for the anime to make Ash more unique as a protagonist. Instead of giving him a normal mega, he gets this special Ash-Greninja.
I’d rather it wasn’t any of that to be honest. I’m not the biggest fan of Mega Evolution. But oh well.
I suppose we can only wait to see. Whatever it is, I reckon those things have at least some significance in the game. No matter how small.
I’m not for or against burst Evo, but I did find a subtle hint when talking to the scientist in Couriway Pokemon center.
He ponders weather people would like the use of fusing with their Pokemon or not.
Also Couriway is suspected to be connected to some other region or area. Doesn’t prove anything. But it is interesting.
That is quite interesting…
Another issue I have, just how could fusing with a Pokémon be useful? What could a human give to a Pokémon that could make it better in battle? Tis odd.
http://www.idigitaltimes.com/pokémon-sun-and-moon-details-coming-aprils-corocoro-expect-starters-first-518719
Starters a legends next month?
If Human/Pokemon fusion becomes a thing.
The only positive of it will be my ability to fuse with Metagross and become Iron Man.
Or Megaman…
It won’t become a thing.
Thank you!!!!!! Finally someone that agrees with me!!!! Theres a reason the manga for reburst wasnt so successful. I never even heard of it.
I agree, I hope it doesn’t happen. Something about it seems wrong… I get Pokemon needs to think of new and interesting things to keep the franchise alive, but not this please.
And plus, to find a way to implement that into the games, the battle style would be very different, graphics would have to be EXTREEEEEEEEEMELY High Quality, to many things would have to change for them to include reburst and it would completely strip people of a Pokémon game experience. Pokémon has a strategy that keeps people coming back for more and to all of the sudden change for something that already proved itself unpopular in one media would be (in my opinion) catastrophic.
I agree. I was just making a joke in light of a few comments below 🙂
I would fuse with Rhyperior and just attack people
This is unrelated, but does anyone think that there are unlockable characters we don’t know about in Pokken Tournament?
There aren’t. If there were, we would know thanks to early copies.
They’ve already said what we see is what we get. Plus there”s apparently no planned dlc (which is a shame) so that’s even more so it…..
Smash bros and Mario Kart also had “no planned DLC”. If Pokken takes off and becomes as popular as they think it will, there will be DLC.
This is true lol
Lets do a poll……. Who is your favorite rival and why? Ready……. Set…… GO!
The one in Johto.
My favorite rival has to be Blue, Hugh or Barry. Mostly because they kept a good challenge and were trying to one-up you.
Bianca and Silver. First of all, I found Bianca’s design really cute and I loved that she was so friendly to us. I also found her very realistic and I could relate to her a lot. Silver was very interesting to me honestly, and I usually love anti heroes 😛 He also had character development unlike someone *cough*Brendan*cough* and wasn’t obnoxious at all. I also enjoyed fighting Blue honestly xD
Hugh was my favorite because I loved his look, I wish he was the main character in Black2 White2. I also like Serena because she brings old school Pokemon back to life, like Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon.
Blue, N and Silver. I love the character development..
Blue/Silver
I cannot stress this enough, I want a rival who makes talking you curse his name in pure unbridled rage
I’m sick of all this friendly rival nonesense
YES YES YES. I could not agree more. I wanna be able to break my rival’s heart when I beat him and feel good about it.
I want a rival that is a bigger bastard then me for once
HA! I love it… What is your friend code? We must be rivals now!!! I hope that in Sun and Moon you have two rivals, a boy and a girl… the girl one is the nice friendly rival and the boy one is the nasty rude mean rival
Sorry there Cosmo I’ve been full for a year now
And why not switch it up and make the Female rival a total biotch
That works too!
You should delete two of them and enter mine in
And you won’t believe what my Friend Safari type is
Ugh, what is it?!
Silver! He actually has good character development and he’s just a total bad ass
Barry!
Blue.
Silver. I like his, as SilverRiolu mentioned earlier, character development. Also his design is great. Dat Haircut tho.
Were definitely in the new gen news now all the pop up new people are here on the jungle !! Welcome haha
U can call it red room. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffe9LfBzs-g
Playing off the last poll question, what rivals (s) do you wish to see in Sun and Moon? Is it one like previous versions, or more like in X and Y? Boy, girl? Mean or nice? What type of Pokemon do they have? Etc…
LT. SURGE’S GYM SUCKS
Never once had trouble
Geodude is the ultimate counter
Not the battle the stupid freaking puzzle! It’s completely random! You get the first switch and just hope to god you get the second one AND THEN YOU DONT AND YOU DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!
I have never been so enraged over pokemon
I found it always opposite of the first switch
In what direction?
Can’t say, it’s usually a 3-4 chance of finding it
There is a simple method to solving the puzzle. Once you find the first switch, the next one is always to the left, right, or below (above) the switch you just pushed. His puzzle is surprisingly easy. Just save and reset after you found the first switch to improve your chances.
I heard there is a bug with that gym that is in all of gen 1’s games… if you get the first one, there is a 1/8 chance the the second can does not exist at all..
