  1. Corocoro better have something next week or the week after whenever it comes out and not more of this trash not trailer they keep shoving in our faces.

    • Corocoro will reveal the full Dex the full list of gyms. Even codes to download demos of the game and upon reaching the end you will unlock the full game.

      This was cruel to say…

        • Legit, the last page clearly said new info on Sun and Moon next issue on.
          You can’t disregard that.
          Plus, it said first TV footage never seen. Technically, this was only on the Internet. It said nothing about gameplay and I looked back on it.
          Negativity is not going to give you news.

          • People are disappointed and edgy. Let them wallow for a while. We’ve been panting for something solid since last year, when those Zygarde formes were dangled in front of us.

          • When news finally drops, hopefully this tension will break and everyone will be more positive!

  2. So I guess ‘never before seen on tv footage’ means ‘that footage we showed you over a month ago online’. God dammit, Trollfreak.

  3. Why did they waste the developer’s time with having them answer three pointless questions. I’m literally sick of the Pokemon Shows hyping up everything. Where is Pokemon Sunday when you need it. Oh well, at least we have the CoroCoro next week.

    Reply
        • Not really. They said ‘never-before-seen TV footage’, and technically that footage was only shown on the Internet.
          Plus this literally said new info on Sun and Moon next issue on and it was two pages with big text.
          Just because we got disappointed tonight doesn’t mean we’ll get nothing for CoroCoro. IT doesn’t mean anything GF or whatever says is lies.

  4. This was mean… :/ When does Coro Coro release? Better have more information… I don’t think we’ve ever waited 2 months for information more than the names of the title!

    Reply
    • Sometime in a week or so, and it will, because there was two pages dedicated to telling people more news on Sun and Moon next issue on.
      I doubt it’s a lie.

  5. GUYS
    Serebii took off the question mark that was next to “Gen VII” for Sun and Moon. It’s all over. We’re in a new generation.

  6. Why is game freak being such trolls and jerks lately? I freaking knew already that pikachu was going to be in the games and i dont care pikachu is crap and the thing about more than ten new pokemon was unecesary its not like i thought that there were going to be only nine new pokemon srsly if they keep going like this ill leave pokemon for good

    • I think it’s because of the Internet. Because we find out things early like event legendaries and things like that. That’s probably why they are being so secretive.
      Think about it that way. :3

      Reply
        • Not as punishment, just them realizing that the Internet will find things out easier than years before so they need to change the way they reveal stuff.
          I don’t think this is punishment. Not at all.
          I just brought up a reason as to why they might be that way, I dunno, just thought it might make you understand them better.

          Reply
        • Cause I want to? Cause I want to have a discussion? Cause I want to add a point of view they are not considering?
          I didn’t know people are not allowed to comment on posts anymore, k, I’ll see myself out.

  7. They couldn’t just give us the name of the cardinal (woodpecker for some) bird Pokemon. They just had to leave us in the dark. I just moved my “Awesome” to “Dislike” on the PokeJungle React-thing. No hate to the website in any way.

    • why would you have expected much tbh? the only thing a pokemon show ever announced as news was bw2. too much hype only to be let down

      Reply
      • Uh no. The did an amazing job with Black/White and they provided us gameplay of X/Y with Inkay shown in one of the clips. So, I’m surprised by how terribly they covered OR/AS and now S/M.

        Reply
        • Yea I remember back in black and white days they were riding around on the bus showing new gameplay,I think that’s when everyone thought emolga was a fake until it showed up in one of the game play videos

          Reply
      • Like, I had some hope, because it made sense to believe something would happen. Like 3 top GF people on the show, of course they would make people think something was going to happen.
        I’m not even let down, because I expected this to happen, but I focused on the positives, like it maybe having something new.

        Reply
  8. Maybe he said 10 pokemon because CoroCoro will show these 10 new pokemon! They do normally show something small on the Saturday show, and CoroCoro expands on it

    Reply
  9. we didnt get anything from this episode of pokenchi. i dont think reminiscing about what they did back with bw and xy is going to help at all cuz thats not the case with this episode. thats all that can be said. like always people hyped and are disappointed. oh well. it was confirmed last month that starting this month and up to release corocoro will contain sun and moon information. that is all you can go on.

    Reply
    • I wasn’t even all that hyped xD It just was logical to me to piece together that something would happen cause they had 3 top GF people on the show talking about Sun and Moon. I just focus on the positives, really. Plus, I could hope for that to happen and be wrong because I know CoroCoro is coming up and something will be revealed there.

      Reply
      • lol i wasnt hyped either. i didnt expect anything. at this point, i feel that i personally can only go off of what corocoro reveals to us or what gamefreak reveals to us.

        Reply
        • Same, I just realized that maybe something could happen here, is all. Nothing did, and I’m just like ‘Well, whatever, CoroCoro will happen soon, so there’s that’

          Reply
  10. Well, hope corocoro will truely leak anything… Not only the fact that pikachu will be included in sun and moon.
    The distrust in pokemon mews is unfortunately justified…

    Reply
    • Dude, last CoroCoro had two pages with BIG text with the logos saying that there will be Sun and Moon info from next month on.
      Seriously.
      Get over this disappointment, k?
      I didn’t expect much form this anyway, just the possibility of something small happening.

      • He can be disappointed if he wants too. Why are you commenting on literally every post? We get it, you’re here, Hi, you can go now, the show is over…Geez.

        Reply
          • I only responded once, and you’re kinda in the same boat. You’re not adding any sort of contribution to anything by constantly saying “Haha, yeah I knew it wouldn’t be any new info. Here I am, cool and all, I was right” etc etc etc. We get it, stop commenting already. You stated your opinion multiple times.

          • lol other people are allowed to comment. you did it twice and im trying to end the spam of “gf sucks they are awful at news” so yeah ok if i want to comment i will ok?

          • But you’re a basic commoner who’s posting here just like everyone else. You can’t change anyone’s opinion so no you’re not ending the “spam”. If anything, you’re only creating it. You’re telling me to stop doing something and you’re doing pretty much the same thing lol.

          • and you seem to be a basic troll telling people its not alright to state their opinion. we are making people see the light that is corocoro news in the near future and to calm down with the disappointment of this one episode of a tv show

          • Lmao you’re not making ANYONE see the light. People see your messages & continue on with their thoughts. And that thought is “GF sucks”. Are you some sort of rebel fighter fighting for Justice? Your comments won’t change nothing. Everyone here KNOWS about corocoro, You’re not doing anything to make things positive.

          • so why dont you do the same? continue with your thoughts instead of bashing me on mine. lol just back off m8.

          • like seriously. mr. youre not gonna change anyone’s opinion. why are you trying to change my and percy’s opinions?

          • youre just here to cause trouble which nobody wants/needs. nobody is trying to change opinions and nobody is telling anyone that their opinion is wrong. so yeah i am here commenting and i never said i was right haha. i expected nothing like some people and unlike a bunch of people thats all. not bashing on others for expected more than i did

        • Once again, because I want to? Didn’t know you were a mod who can tell me what to do.
          Because I see the same thing with these posts and being negative is not going to make things better?
          Plus replying with the same message, lol, like that’s supposed to make me listen to you.

          Reply
          • Cause they’re being negative and negativity is not going to make things better.
            I told them to move on because I’ve been seeing the same message over and over about how GF sucks and how we won’t get anything. I wouldn’t have to repeat myself if everyone else stopped saying it.

          • Like I told the other person. Okay, you’re seeing the same messages of GF sucks over & over, but YOU can’t do anything about that lol. You’re just a random person commenting like everyone else, your opinion won’t change theirs. So just X out, it’s pointless.

          • we arent trying to stop people from saying what they want like you are doing to us m8. we are just telling people that last month they confirmed that starting this month and on to release there will be corocoro news

          • I know that, so? It’s still worth mentioning because they might consider it next time. I like opening people’s minds, and even if you can’t change opinions, you can still make them consider the other side.
            By your argument, it’s pointless to comment at all about anything. It’s pointless to comment on your disappointment cause it’s not going to change GF, and it’s pointless to talk about anything since it doesn’t matter.
            So really, you really shouldn’t be replying to me cause it’s all pointless 🙂

          • …But you’re opening anyone’s mind, especially now since they are still heated over this. lol

          • It’s still worth a shot.
            At the end of the day, I tried to and that’s all that matters.
            I just like being positive and enjoy Pokemon.
            You think what you want to think, and I think what I want to think, but just be mindful of it. That’s all I ask for.

        • True, which is why it was logical to assume something would happen.
          But it didn’t, so it’s time to move on.

          Reply
          • There isn’t, I get disappointed too. It’s just gets old when you see the same comments over and over. Like, you don’t need to make multiple comments on it, is all.

          • It also gets old seeing people say ‘I told you so’ and variants of it, but people are doing that anyway. No offense, but if people want to be annoyed, just let them. It isn’t hurting you. People will get over it and move on without you telling them to 😛

          • Yeah, it is. I just want to be here and be positive is all. I used to be all negative and it really hurt me and made me worse, so I stopped trying to be negative. I know they’ll get over it without me, which is why I usually don’t comment about it often, but doubting CoroCoro when they clearly said new info next month seems a bit extreme.

          • Mm I know watcha mean. It kind of feels like we’ve been dicked around a lot lately though, so that’s probably why people are doubting. We all just want ANY scrap of news. Ah well, as CoroCoro creeps closer hopefully the tone will shift to cautious optimism! If this fandom is good at anything it’s forgetting we’ve been trolled and getting ourselves hyped to get trolled all over again, lol.

          • Yeah, true. I can’t wait 😀 I love the times this community gets excited over CoroCoro <3

          • It’s the total best, right!? I remember screaming myself hoarse when the scan showing Gogoat and Pancham leaked xD

          • Yeah, I remember squealing over Helioptile, it looked so adorable! And I remember learning about Sylveon and how hyped I was, cause I love eeveevoltuions.

        • Yeah, plus showing the (month old) trailer once during the commercial break and then again in full during the programme? Trolling to the max 😛
