  1. I really hope the site updates with the Sun and Moon countdown or whatever they’re plotting

    I truly hope they just do silhouettes

  2. Whelp. I guess OmegaMonster was right on the CoroCoro not consisting of any of value for Sun & Moon. I’m assuming that the games will release around November or December, so we have about eight to nine months of CoroCoro news left. I’m still hoping to see the starters, main legendaries, and protagonist in the next issue. (Also, I’m Afarr if anyone was confused. I decided to change my name into something new for 2016.)

    • I just figured there wasn’t gonna be anything from the start. they usually say something ahead of time if there is going to be like how next month we’ll get something. People just like to hype themselves up to a point they don’t think clearly and then get angry when they aren’t given anything. lol Anyway I’m pretty certain we’ll at least get the legendaries next month. What was the little thing said in the pic again? Something about there being another legendary beginning or something?

      • According to Serebii, Corocoro will start their special news bulletins from next month, and there’ll be news on something called the Pokemon Elections, which are said to be huge, and movie-related.

        Reply
        • I care less about the elections than I do about the Sun and Moon news lol Unless it turns out to b paramount for the games it’s likely just something for the Japanese viewers

        • I bet it’ll be a “free Pokemon” survey just like they did with Darkrai in the Diancie movie.

          Hey, it gave me my first actual Darkrai (thanks Paul/PJ!) so I’m not complaining.

          Reply
          • Movies traditionally have two distributions, one for preordering the ticket (Volcanion this time), and one in the cinema on the day. The latter is usually the more important one, so I’m assuming that that’s what the elections are for.

          • Was this in Japan? Sorry, I should have made myself clear, the two distributions I mentioned above are for when they first come out in Japan, the above doesn’t apply elsewhere.

          • Yes, I was in Japan at that time. <3

            Unfortunately, I had to leave before the movie's showing dates, so I just bought a movie ticket for a Darkrai for the lulz anyway. Unfortunately the code didn't work on my US version games, so I enlisted the help of people with Japan edition games like Paul/PJ to retrieve the Darkrai.

          • Oh okay. But I’m confused, how did you get a hoopa from that, the hoopa movie was after the diancie one?

  3. Can someone clear something up?

    I’ve heard some people saying that no way will SM be released in December, because Nintendo will want these games out in time for Thanksgiving and Black Friday etc, so of course they’ll be released same time as ORAS and XY.

    But here’s the thing; ORAS and XY were labelled as ‘fall’ release, whereas SM are labelled ‘holiday’ release. So doesn’t that sound like they are coming out in December? What do you guys think?

    Reply
    • Logically, yes, it should come out in November to take advantage of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, but you are right, it does sound like December. Also, the Japanese release date is listed as “Winter 2016” which would technically be December 2016-February 2017, though obviously December would be the most likely as they wouldn’t go two years without a game.

      • I don’t think any game could touch the level of horribleness that Sonic 06 is at. Plus, GameFreak works early on their next titles. So, I’m guessing that this game was like two to three years in development before it’s announcement. Similarly, X/Y was in development three years before it’s announcement. Let’s just hope GameFreak isn’t as dumb as Sega to release a game early just because the fans want it.

        Reply
    • I’m not sure but does it really matter that much? Not talking about you specifically, but whether it comes out in November or December, it really doesn’t matter. I’m not entirely convinced that Black Friday sales are that significant overall to the total sales of the game, because Pokemon isn’t a Black Friday type of game, people will buy it ANYTIME. My guess is December, but I really don’t care when it comes out as long as it’s not delayed into 2017.

      Reply
    • Holiday is basically Thanksgiving, Black Friday, or Christmas. The game will be releasing before Christmas. So, I’m guess that it would release slightly after Thanksgiving.

      Reply
    • I suppose November could be labeled as both a fall release and a holiday release? Either way if it does come out in December it won’t b very late in the month.

  4. Anyone want/need Ocean Pattern Vivillons? I restarted my X with an approrpiate region so now I can crank them out like it was nothing. 4-6 IV randomly.

    Reply
  5. Imagine if we got 0 news on any new Pokemon for Sun and Moon until release. I actually wouldn’t mind that because it would force us to go in blind.

    Reply
    • I like this idea, but we all know it’s not going to happen… 😉

      Stuff will come out, and not just leaks, even official news.

      Can’t have people thinking that there’s no upcoming game, after all!

      Reply
    • Rather not go completely blind. I would like to know a good amount of new Pokemon because I like planning my in-game teams for when I play and I like to use an all new Pokemon team for the first runthrough (i.e. only new Pokemon). And I usually don’t like to change Pokemon around when I do make a team, sometimes I feel like it, but most of the time I stick with the team I plan.

      Reply
    • I would actually be okay with this. We would, however, get that craze of leaks one week prior to launch, and it would be difficult to stay away from.

      Reply
    • … I mean, it’s up to you if you want to look at spoilers or not, not GF’s fault. But honestly I don’t know if I want to go completely blind.
      On one hand everything new and new sometimes is just more fun, on the other hand, they are getting more wacky with their evolution method, and I don’t want to go the whole game without knowing how to evolve something.

      Reply
      • It’s really kinda hard to not look at spoilers when they’re literally posted everywhere on the Pokémon portion of the Web.

        Reply
        • It is very hard, but if youre strong willed enough your goal will be accomplished and the game will much more fun.

          Reply
    • I don’t know if I could live with that. Maybe if the time period was smaller, but I need something to get excited about. I don’t like that they showed most of XY’s Pokemon, but I would like to see what some of them look like at least. It helps me get an idea of what kind of Pokemon I could have on my team and what the overall game will look like. Again it would be nice to go in a little blind, but going in completely blind seems a little excessive. lol

      Reply
    • I dislike that. I like to know information about a game before it releases. If a game gives me no information, I’ll just think that something fishy happened during the development. Games releasing bits of info is fine. As long as the information doesn’t release everything, I’m fine with it. (I plan my Pokemon Teams in advance, so I would completely dislike not knowing anything.)

  6. I just finished (for the most part) my living dex
    All I need are Manaphy shaymin Hoopa Meoletta Jirachi (which are event pokemon so they don’t count toward shiny charm) and it will be 100% complete! I am proud of myself

  7. So I was pondering ideas for fakemons and unique type combos and I wanted to try making a logical Poison/Psychic type then it hit me
    Psychedelic Lizard!!!
    But to avoid controversy I gotta boil it down
    I see a slimy newtish lizard with a bright purple neon coloration with hints of orange and green, with a huge rainbow fin on its back, it would have semi large eyes with a few tendrils hanging out

    “It’s body radiates bright flashy colors to discourage predators, when threatened this Pokemon expels a noxious dizzying mist to confuse predator”

    But yeah as awesome as this sounds its one gigantic drug controversy

    Reply
    • What if you made it purple and green only? Take out the neon and rainbow fin. Or make the fin a different shade of green

      Reply
      • It has to be bright and flashy it’s mostly going on aposematism and the mist messes with the opponent’s senses and mind

        But yeah this would be such a risky move

        Reply
    • Made these a while back. Excuse the messiness; used an app so I drew and wrote with my finger. Abilities are just suggestions.

      Reply
      • I thought your idea could use a little more flare, so i hope you don’t mind if i had a crack at improving it slightly.

        Reply
        • Not at all! I’m open to suggestions. I like the dealy bob on top. It adds a sort of innocence to it as a base evolution. I like it! Thanks so much.!

  8. So, I know myself and Earthen have created our own versions of Pokemon. I’m curious to know who else has? What have you done? Let’s share ideas and stories about our own Pokemon versions we created. My region is based in California, the Shor region. It has a fire/dark bear starter, a water/ghost dolphin starter and a grass/psychic quail starter.

    Reply
    • That sounds very good. I too have made a few my favourite being a region based in Africa from a poor nation.

      The starters finals are a
      GrassDark Panther
      FireGround Elephant
      WaterElectric Bipedal Lizard.

      The Region is very poor and the trainer is not only a new Pokemon trainer but finds out the corruption stems from the gyms and league therefore must defeat them to provide a better life for the region.

      There’s a whole story to it that explains how and why the league’s evil and corrupt but I’ll only get into that if people ask haha 🙂

      Reply
      • Neat! I have all my gym types and leader names and cities of gyms and the elite 4. I have to work on the story and the fluff cities and the rivals. One nice rival and one bratty rival like Gary was. The nice rival will have the starter that’s weak against the one you picked and the bratty one will have the stronger one. I also have a lot of animal ideas but haven’t created the Pokemon yet. Like a ghost type that’s a skull that looks like the dia de Los Muertas

        Reply
        • That really nice ! I have most not all of my cities done, and I have all the gym leaders and elite four names and types. Rival I haven’t decided on yet haha. My region is going to have alot of designs based on animals because it’s based in Africa. However I have some other ones too like a rock psychic Pokémon based of the Aztecs (weird) haha. I’m finding it hard to introduce ice types so what I did was have one section with an icy river and mountain and behind the waterfall is a cavern with ice Pokémon haha.

          Reply
          • Well there are mountains in Africa, you can easily do ice type. Plus, it’s fantasy… You can create anything you want. Mount Killamanjaro is one of the highest mountains in the world. You can have Pokemon evolve into secondary ice types also

          • True 🙂 I’ll probably have some at the top of a mountain I have one small village and a medium city on it haha 🙂

        • I need more ghosts in my region
          I only have a Phantom with scythe claws
          A spooky sheet
          And that’s really it
          Either a serpentine specter, ghostly eyeball, I was gonna do a Ghost Jellyfish but brain fart Jellicent

          Reply
      • I basically had two copies, so I was like why not give it away. I’m a physical copy guy, so I did not need a downloadable copy of the other game. Let’s just hope that my karma is maxed out for the month. 😉

  9. In regards to people making their own Pokemon versions, I actually made a Pokemon story called Project Z and is set in Sinnoh. It’s a sequel to Platinum and although I never got to write more than like 10 pages, I think I’ll continuing writing it.

    Summary:

    ~ Years after the events of Platinum, Sinnoh gradually begins a government reform after a descendant of Cynthia rises to power and uses the fear of another Team Galactic to change Sinnoh from a democratic and free region to a militaristic one. Unlike a true military country, to stabilize the people’s protests and the massive amount of insurgents, the descendant creates a monarchy where he is king and his chosen wife is queen. Under his new government system, Sinnoh is protected from any heinous organizations but as a result, Sinnoh slowly begins to seclude itself from the rest of the world and Sinnoh enters a dark age known as the Seclusion. Poverty strikes Sinnoh and a civil war is ripe to occur. The Pokemon League at Sinnoh combined with other trainers, the People’s Revolution happens and the monarchy is destroyed. The monarchy had already been greatly weakened with the passing of the descendant. After the civil war, nobody seems to know what to do until a mysterious woman rises to power. She quickly takes a hold of the Pokemon League and its members, silences protests, and makes herself the sole heir to the throne in Crown City. Under the confusion of the recently ended civil war, the mysterious coupe against the Pokemon League, and the campaign of a queen rife throughout the region, the mysterious woman is able to secure the throne. However, a few gym leaders escaped the woman and create a rebel group. Years later, Sinnoh is finally “stabilized” but the rebel group finds a morbid and hair raising conclusion that the woman is beginning what is known as Project Z.

    • I really just can’t wait for Friday. I have a paper due by next Sunday, but after that I have spring break and I requested off from work all week. So I guess I kno what I’ll be doing lol

  10. Has anyone here written any stories or a plot for Pokémon ?

    I wrote one about Steven Stone being defeated and going rogue with Cynthia and Brendan going after him.

    Then Team Magma return greater than ever with the plot once again to awaken Groudon, they succeed and Hoenn becomes a full warzone. It is revealed Steven is under controll via Psychic Pokémon under the control of Maxie.

    Once Steven is saved, Hoenn continues to become a disaster zone, with fire reigning from the skies and Groudon causing mass casualties. Citizens are being evacuated to Sinnoh and all other regions so the call is made that Champions from all regions gather to take back Hoenn and put an end to the war against Team Magma.

          • So far it me, Quilladin, Diggersby (newly evolved) Pancham and Tyrunt (newly restored) just earned our Second Badge and decided to relax at the beach
            Everyone’s doing their own thing but the key point is Pancham is swimming and cries out in distress and we soon discover a feisty Binacle has clamped onto Pancham’s rear
            1 Now I have several story options, we battle it and we end up loosing it and hunt it down and discover a whole colony of Binacle and are lead by a tough Barbaracle
            2 During the fight my badge case gets knocked out and it steals it and spend the rest of the episode hunting down it and my case

            Something like a Binacle just isn’t a super imposing Pokemon to be a super powerful fighter at first

  11. Be grateful for your life. Sorry it seems a bit off topic. It’s so hard to live in a world where you grow accustomed to people getting killed. You don’t know what will happen tomorrow? Are you be the next? Is the street that you’re passing everyday safe? You can’t live with a fear that you will be at the wrong place at the wrong time. You know, you cannot understand it before it happens to you. Because an ember burns where it falls. There are far more worse cases happening all over the world. I have no idea about them, we have no idea. And really, nobody cares. They are not obliged to do so. But sad reality is that some lives matter than the others. Because, people can get together if they really want.

  12. I recently wrote a pokemon mystery dungeon fanfiction… the problem with writing a pokemon narrative is that you immediately wish for it to be a real game :’O

  13. My hype for next month is steadily growing. We have Spring Break on the first week of April, which will make the wait for CoroCoro MUCH easier. Starters are most certainly guaranteed, and perhaps we’ll even get that woodpecker Pokemon, the box art legendaries, or anything in between! We can only hope that these games are superior to X/Y, at this point. The vast unknown we’re presented with before a new generation is something I’ll never forget. My third eye says: prepare to be amazed.
