JungleTalk: Corocoro Predictions

by

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!

  2. I’d say expectations for this one should remain on the lower side. I don’t mean to say that we won’t get anything, but April typically doesn’t give us a huge drop of info, at least not in recent years. I will say that this period is closer to BW’s with how the info is being given to us and in 2010 we DID get footage in April, but I’m not 100% it’ll happen again in that exact way. I’d say we get minimal info this month, but then a good amount of info next month. Either way if they don’t just show us what we’ve already seen it’ll be new and that is something I think we can all say HALLELUJAH to lol

    • I predict not much news for next month, since E3 will be held in June (and there they will give us a lot of info like gameplay I guess). If that’s the case, we’ll get a good amount of info these days.

      • Yes E3 will most likely give us a good amount of info you are correct there, but don’t forget about how May was for XY. We got Pancham, Gogoat, Fletchling, Helioptile, the Pokedex, and the Region name + map. So May could give us plenty before E3.

  3. I predict that we’ll see some gameplay shots of the protagonists, as well as the official artwork for them. I think that we also might see silhouettes of the region’s starter pokemon.

    • I think tonight is a pretty safe bet if there’s actually something of worth in the issue. If we end up with basically nothing again it’ll prolly leak tomorrow or Wednesday.

        • But lets say it’s just the direct info we already have. Pokenchi hyped up that footage because it hadn’t been shown on tv before. What if CoroCoro starts with that and then next month we get actual new info? I really hope we get something different, but it is a possibly that shouldn’t be swept under the rug.

  5. I guess, if there are no leaks in the next 2 or 3 hours, we have to wait another 24 hours till the 13th. Its around 7am in Japan. When anyone gets the magazine, then it would be in the morning i guess…

    • 2 to 3 hours? That’s not the usual time frame for leaks. It’s still very early in Japan so that small time frame gives little to no time. It’ll likely happen over night like it has been the past number of times.

        • Ok let me correct myself then. It won’t happen until at least mid after noon in Japan. That’s usually when it happens as the people have had time to get the issue and take pictures. It could happen at anytime, but it typically happens at that time.

  6. I just hope we eventually get a Fire Bull regardless of Starter Status
    Like I say the concept is fool proof

    A Wild Bull that can get so steaming mad its entire body becomes engulfed in flames
    And once that happens it charges in a frothing rage demolishing everything in its path until it eventually burns itself out
    I can easily say either pure Fire or the possibility of Fire/Ground,Rock,Steel or Fighting but I kinda want to keep it a bull no Minotaurs just yet

  7. I’d totally be down with completely scrapping Sun and Moon and instead spending these next few months developing the perfect mega Milotic. <3

    That's secretly my hope for this Corocoro. Sun and Moon is just a gimmick game and they're just using it to cover up the fact that Mega Milotic will be free DLC this Holiday season.

    • Instead why not focus on giving lesser overlooked Pokemon some attention
      That’s the issue with Megas literally all fan favorites are getting them left and right
      We need to stop giving into fanboy wishes and make some forgotten Mons a Mega Stone

      Like Hypno is one I’ve been kinda hoping to get a little more attention
      And maybe Darmanitan

      Reply

      • I agree with you 90%.

        Yes, we should focus on giving new evolutions to older Pokemon, instead of megas. I don’t have any in mind right now, but Pokemon such as those that you mentioned above are good candidates, single stage Pokemon like Druddigon should also be considered for new regular evolutions. We need more regular evolutions, I agree 100% on that.

        But I mean, let’s just be real. Milotic is a complete Pokemon, it’s not getting a new evolution. It’s the counterpart to Gyarados, so it’s most certainly deserving of a mega form. Plus she’s beautiful so make her Mega beautiful too <3

        • Yeah so was Machamp to Alakazam but that didn’t happen

          But and let me throw one more statistic
          We JUST had ORAS and Milotic was upstaged by Altaria as the Contest poster Mega (Which annoyingly became a Fairy)

          Reply

          • Eh, not really a factor to be honest. They made mega Altaria the “poster Pokemon” for contests because they needed to give Lisia(?) a main Pokemon. Milotic is Wallace’s ace, making it the main of TWO main characters doesn’t make sense.

            Flygon didn’t get a mega either, and it was Aarune(?)’s ace, or “main Pokemon”, but in all likelihood it will eventually. So will Milotic.

          • To be fair everyone knows Mega Flygon was intended but they experienced writers block

            But nonetheless Milotic was mostly unspoken this entire ordeal

      • Yeah I’m a fan of the game, I watch YouTube gameplay of it semi-frequently. But I don’t own a Wii U so I’ve never played it. Why?

        Reply

    • Image. You wake up Tuesday morning and the CoroCoro leaks. You look at the first page and BAM: Water/Fairy Mega Milotic with outstanding defenses and special attack. 😉

    • Well I’m glad you’re keeping your expectations really low so I don’t have to see you being all pissy and disappointed in the comments.

      Reply

      • It’s a shame we have to keep expectations so low though :/ I wish they’d released the news in March instead of February, like what was the point of an extra months gap?

        Reply

        • The problem with the expectations game is that people all want different things. Some just want boxart, some want starters, some want legendaries, some want ALL of that. So no matter what is revealed, some people will be disappointed.

          My expectations for ANY Corocoro is just that they reveal new information. I don’t care what it is, as long as it’s something new and something we didn’t know about before, I’ll be satisfied. And I wish more people on here would take the same approach so I don’t have to see so many negative comments.

          The fact that everyone raged about no Battle Frontier was bad enough.

          • I think I’m more selective, I would be upset if it was a few snapshots and Magearna’s type. But luckily, magesrnas more tied to the movie than Sun and Moon

          • Well yeah but this Corocoro was promised to have Sun and Moon information in it, or that coverage was to begin this month.

            Just look at all the previous Corocoro issues from XY, there was some interesting news almost every month’s issue whether it be new Pokemon, screenshots, evolutions etc.

            The fact that we’ve gone almost 2 months already without any news since the teaser announcement, makes it pretty likely we’ll get something cool. I mean come on, we still don’t even know the starters or region after TWO MONTHS lol.

          • I know! Until I see legendary mascots, the region will always be a bit blurry for me. They’re the main part, the lore! I am embarrassed to say I’ve actually had two dreams now of Coro Coro leaking, last night, and the night before. LIKE ITS TOO MUCH GAMEFREAK! 😉

  10. I’m not expecting a lot. So, I’m looking forward to at least seeing the protagonist, starters, and some screenshots. Honestly, anything would be fine! I expect the CoroCoro to leak on Tuesday or Wednesday!

  13. Ok I think I’ve seen the cover now……it only has the logos on it. Prepare to be disappointed!!!! hahahaha

    Reply

  14. Lord the front page leaked apparently and it’s a bit bland, so far only logos.

    Looks like a small bit of information this time. Probably only 2 pages.

    Reply

  15. This cover is from Corocoro Ichiban! 13859-05 2016 Release Date: 2016-03-19. Google it and you’ll see that’s it’s not from May’s 2016 Coro Coro issue.

  16. Nothing to see here folks nothing see! lol I’d say it’s still too early for leaks as of yet. It’s only 8:32 am in Japan and although yes the leakers could get it and leak this early I don’t think they would. they leak at their leisure and a lot of the time the leaks come from people who aren’t necessarily super into Pokemon and are just leaking whatever they feel is relevant.

  19. I don’t understand the people who are expecting nothing. If they were to reveal nothing important, I doubt that they would have used 2 full pages to advertise this issue’s Sun and Moon content. I have no idea what it will be, but starters, legends or silhouettes of either are a good bet. Sure, they didn’t explicitly mention a “big scoop”, but they used 2 pages instead of a tiny blurb on the corner of a page.

    Reply

  20. I am curious, though. Why are the logos on the cover of Ichiban? What could they be talking about in the spinoff magazine?

    Reply

  21. So sorry but in unrelated news today Dark Souls 3 came out today
    And my brother is getting thoroughly F’ed in the A just on the first boss

    Reply

  23. I just want starters, protagonists and region and I’ll be satisfied for now. At this point I’m not expecting much more. Although it’d be great to get new Megas and the characters’ rival(s) too.

    Reply

    • And I’m hoping that the bear, ram and lizard starters are not fake and they are the real ones. Although… It is true that it’s just a green Gogoat, a red Pancham and a blue Crocodile…

      Reply

  25. Believe it or not corocoro doesnt do silhouettes they normally just reveal it. So its either starters or no starters
