JungleTalk: Corocoro Predictions

It’s that time of the month again and Corocoro could leak at any given moment! This month the issue is expected to contain some information on Pokémon Sun & Moon and while it’s unknown how much, hopes are high for the first information blowout.

The issue official releases on April 15th in Japan, but leaks are expected any time so what better way to make the wait go quicker than sharing your predictions for the issue? (There are none, I don’t care what you say). We want our readers to share their thoughts and predictions on what they think the issue will contain: will it be new starter Pokémon? Perhaps a look at the mascot legendaries? Maybe you’re not expecting much at all aside from the debut of Sun & Moon in a magazine with a reprint of that wonderful announcement trailer?

Let us know!

  1. So excited for information it seems like the games were announced years ago and not +- 40 days.

    I really hope starters will be shown, but think Mascotts will be shown for sure and maybe starters and PCs.

    Hoping for some fakes to come out as well judt to make it more interesting.

  2. Watch they don’t reveal anything LOL.

    But it’s been almost 2 months or something since the official reveal, so we’re bound for some new information.

  3. I think we’re going to get a shot of gameplay and the starters. After the tv show situation, people think we won’t get any info, i think we will.

    Plus I’d rather have small bits of info than to have everything talked about like in oras and 2/3 of the dex shown in x/y.

  4. I think starters and legendary mascots for sure. -at least sillhouettes though I think we will get actual images of at least some new Pokemon. I think we may also get an image of the map which will send some people into analytical overdrive to figure out if it matches their location predictions. That’s the thing— game freak wants to build hype until the release later this year. You do that by showing enough to keep our attention without giving away the farm. Starters would get people analyzing types, evolutionary lines, etc. as would legenedaries. A map, like I said, would be a ticket to the hype train for many. I’m intrigued to say the least.

  5. For me it can go two ways:

    Silhouettes of starters and box art. Plus maybe some gameplay.

    Or

    Silhouettes of the legendaries, and then starters and gameplay. Maybe the trainers

  6. I think we’ll get some information (and maybe a gameplay after the corocoro leaks), but in May we won’t get too much new information, because in June we’ll have the E3, and they will release more news about the games and, at least, a gameplay trailer

  7. Realistically we are looking at silhouettes of
    Starters andor Legendaries.
    Trainers
    Release date with few screenshots to keep us happy.

    Releasing Late October 30th or November.

  8. Best part of any new gen is the mascots for me! They’re always great and the sole reason I pick one game over the other. Starters would be exciting, but since Gen 5 none of the final evos have done it for me, and they’re all I care about. They keep trying to suprise us, eg. Dropping the foam theme suddenly with greninja and making it angular, or changing Samurrot from a otter to seal . I love greninja, but like the starters Design to develop consistently, it’s one of my weirder requirements, I feel like it uses up ideas, and doesn’t draw out the great designs of the first evo..

    But legendary mascots! That I’m excited for 🙂

    • I always thought I was the only one who noticed how God awfully angular greninja is. It’s design is so lacking, I dont see how anyone likes it at all and somehow it’s a fan favorite. I hate what they did with samurott said well. If they wanted a samurai otter, why was its design executed so strangely? It’s a weird 4-legged sea lion, otter, unicorn? Like how are these designs making it past the drawing board? I’m really hoping they don’t fuck over the new water starter. The last good one was Empoleon who’s design they completely knocked out of the park

      • It’s because they try to be surprising and it just goes wrong, like the how i met your mother finale…

        I think greninja looks great, but the foam theme seemed a lot more prominent that the ninja theme. I agree, 4th gen starters were perfect, development between them all of the key themes in design, and they all looked so powerful. Empoleon was perfect!

        Samurrot :/ such potential! I actually really liked oshawotts colour scheme and snow cone head, but they completely got rid of it! And then there’s emboar. We’ve never had a fire starters final evo on all fours and emboar would be good for that! They also got rid of the ball at the end of its tail which glowed when it breathed fire as Tepig, which I thought was such a nice addition. Final evos for unova should have looked more like this IMO ( obvs in a more Pokemon style, and simpler) http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/212/4/5/Fake_Evolutions___Wallpaper___by_Dragara.jpg

          • The design is so illogical. It walks on all fours but can also fight on two legs with swords that it literally pulls from nowhere, a huge gut, and a tail fin that biologically makes no sense. How does it even hold the swords with no hands?

            think about how much cooler this design could’ve been. It’s a samurai otter. This could’ve been epic water/fighting ass kicker

          • All the Pokemon make biologically no sense haha
            In my opinion it looks badass, it’s one of my if not my favorite starter.

        • Wow I would’ve preffered something closer to this too. The jump that oshowatt makes when it finally turns into samuratt is rediculous. It’s like now how did THAT turn into THAT.
          I also had high hopes for snivy grown legs and taking on a more dragon like form. But instead they just made it evolve into a large green snake

  9. Predicted reveals:

    – Starter Silhouettes
    – A little bit of Magearna information
    – POSSIBLY a better look at the new bird revealed in the teaser
    – Loads of vague hints that give us no real information but sends everyone into an absolute frenzy

  10. I struggle to see how we could get our first look at gameplay from a magazine and not an actual video – unless they release a video simultaneously… My most optimistic prediction would be official art of the starters and maybe the boxart legendaries.

  11. What we are NOT getting:

    – Starters
    – Legendaries
    – Any new Pokémon
    – Gameplay info
    – The region

    What we could get this month:

    – Screenshots
    – Protagonists
    – Information about Magearna

    Reply
  12. Looking back at the release timeline for XY info I don’t think we can expect much: at best perhaps the starters and the protagonists but even that might be pushing it BUT we will most likely get some screenshots and news about Magearna to tie in with the movie.

  13. Starter Silhouettes! I’d rather have Silhouettes than no starters to be honest. I’d love to see that the fans come up with

    Reply
  14. I wouldn’t think there’d be much left to reveal about Magearna… I don’t think we’ll see anything else about it for a while, unless it’s part of a trio.

  15. I really hope that this time they will shake things up by changing the starter types ( or at least the final evos’ ones, make something crazy, idk), by completely changing the story (why do we have to start in a small village etc each time?. And PLEASE make the game harder, a lot of us are not 10-year-olds. But getting to the point, I think we’ll mostly likely get some screenshots of the game, maybe something about its location and the starters’ sillhouettes. They probably won’t give much away now considering we still have a long wait before the games come out.

    Reply
    • Totally agreed. Why don’t we ever start off in a huge city like so many of us are actually from? It would be really nice if they would stop being afraid of creatively expanding. I’m totally down for new starter types. Like maybe psychic, fighting, and dark? And then their final evolutions could be part water/fire/grass? I know it won’t happen but a boy can dream.

      • If they don’t change anything people are bound to lose interest. I’m playing ORAS for the second time atm since it came out, while I replayed all of the other games at least 3 times in the first few months

  16. I really wish they give some 1st generation pokemon regular evolutions, like arbok, weezing, primeape, raticate and specially seaking, it’s a beautiful pokemon and it really could use one. What would you guys like to see in terms of evolution?
