The first images of May’s edition of CoroCoro, popular Japanese comic publication, have surfaced. It appears that next month’s issue will reveal the boxart for Pokémon Sun and Moon! UPDATE: Magearna’s type has been revealed to be Steel/Fairy in another leak:

  1. I really hope they don’t give any of the legendaries the Fairy typing. It’s nice on Xerneas, but I don’t want them to repeat it.
    I know they did that with gen 4 and 5, but in my opinion the Dragon typing is a legendary typing so it just worked.

    Reply
    • I’m actually rooting for a whole new type. Fairy was a pleasant surprise (to me, because I wasn’t really following any news at that time) so I’m hoping on another new type. I’ve wanted the Sound type for a while now.

      Reply
      • Sound type? That’s a little silly considering sound is a basic phenomenon of physics. It’s not really an “element” of nature the same way fire, ice, and grass are. However what do you think about maybe a Cyber type? Considering how much technology has completely taken over society.

  2. while i dislike the kind of condescending tone of his tweets, Joe Merrick makes a good point. they didnt troll us we trolled ourselves by expecting much

    • Did he say that? Lol big surprise. I already dislike Joe Merrick (he’s proved himself a condescending prick one too many times imho) but it grinds my gears when *anyone* starts with the old ‘I told you so, you only have yourselves to blame for getting hyped’. It’s obnoxious. Just cram it. Everyone has their hopes up, it’s what being part of a fandom and getting excited about something is all about. These people can sit in the corner like a cynical emotionless robot if they want but shouldn’t expect the rest of us to do the same. And if we get disappointed? So what? We’ll get over it. At least it means we cared in the first place. /rantover 😛

      • um…ok… i think thats a little much… and i dont think hyping too much shows you care for a game tbh. many people care too much to not wanna be spoiled

        Reply
        • What’s too much? Suggesting that we should all be allowed to be excited and hopeful without someone arrogant feeling the need to crap on us? ^^;; I don’t see what spoilers has to do with anything…I don’t anyone who doesn’t want to be spoiled will be interested in leaks in the first place, lol.

          Reply
          • i was just saying that not everyone who cares about a game will hype too much over leaks. that assumption cant be made unless you know every pokemon fan. and i meant going as far to call him a prick. i see him to be condescending but come on hes been running a pokemon site for years

          • How does running a site for years determine your personality? I’m not gonna argue about it, that’s just my personal experience with him; his attitude really rubs me the wrong way and that’s why I give PJ my clicks for news, never Serebii.

            Anyways I never said that everyone who cares about a game will be hyped over leaks? I just said that those of us who get hyped care, because we love this series. That’s not something to chide us for. The people who sit around scolding others for getting excited always remind me of a cynical teenager getting embarrassed and annoyed that their younger siblings are having fun. I’m always like ‘you can have fun too, just jump in!’ It can’t be much fun to always stand at the sidelines scowling at other people. This fandom is all about inclusivity and childlike enjoyment after all ^_^

          • i didnt mean his personality :/ i mean hes run his site for years so he must know something about leaks and stuff that has happened in the past. if you follow him on twitter hes saying that this has happened with previous games. the big info comes in may. xy had game announcement in the january of that year and then big info in may

          • I don’t question his knowledge/experience, only the way he interacts with his fellow fans and runs his forums.

            And yeah, I kind of expected a big May announcement because it’s quite common, but still it seems cruel that if there truly is nothing else in this copy, then their idea of a sun/moon ‘feature’ is to say ‘wait until next month for news’ ^^;;

          • but technically it did feature in the magazine. blurred out box art with a ‘huge scoop’ announcement is a feature in the magazine.

          • I don’t think that’s many people’s idea of a ‘feature’ (nor mine!) but I think well have to agree to disagree on that 😉 anyways, we get news in a month. Woohoo!

          • indeed. and im not trying to offend or be a downer but i just want to clarify that just cuz we didnt get news this month doesnt mean people should start losing hope for gamefreak

          • also i dont think you should base going to a site on your dislike of someone. and nobody is scolding for expecting much. dont take his messages to heart. he was saying how they never actually said real big news and thats what everyone expected

          • Pokejungle is lovely. I don’t just mean the community (which is a LOT less toxic than Serebii forums) or the excellent content, I mean the guy himself. He’s warm and friendly and is grateful for his fans. I would much rather give a guy like that my clicks.

    • I don’t think we’ve ever had to wait three months for a bit of info. So far we still know nothing apart from the titles, it will be three months before we even see a tiny bit of gameplay. I mean, yes the hype was high, but I expecting protagonist art or even Magearna’s typing isn’t too much to ask for.

      Reply
      • its been more than 3 months for main game news. but huge scoop in corocoro means huge scoop just know that. and also someone posted in the previous article a pic of gen 4 when they showed a lot in corocoro so think of it like that. a huge scoop means lots of content

        Reply
    • no they promised that sun and moon features will start this month and on. saying that there will be a huge scoop is still talking about sun and moon

      Reply
  3. Considering that the games come out this year, there will be a May,June, July, August,September,October and maybe November issue of CoroCoro before the games come out. A lot of issues still.

    Reply
  4. I really hope this isn’t all there is. Their idea of a ‘feature’ n Sun and Moon is to tell you to wait another month for news. LOL Trollfreak gonna troll.

    • I was already #teammoon but purple is my favourite colour so unless the mascot legendary is really, really ugly, looks like I’ll be sticking with that choice ^_^

  5. I am feeling starter silhouettes given this first image.

    I loved making and looking at the fan renditions of the gen 5’s silhouettes.

  6. wow what a joke, they give the game the worst announcement in the world by just revealing the logos and they refused to show anything about the game at all for almost 2 months. >_<

    • They are dragging it out a lot, aren’t they? At least we know now that we’ll have something concrete next month.

  7. By the way, who says this is all? I don’t know Japanese, but does it say so on the leak? This is just a small part of the magazine, don’t forget that.

  9. Nintendo totally failed at the 2015 E3. I think that this year, they’ll keep all the good announcements for June. It’s been months they didn’t reveal any game. I think we will not have any Sun and Moon reveal until the E3.

    Reply
    • im sorry but you would be wrong. huge scoop usually means huge scoop. they never promised real big news. this time they promise a huge scoop

      Reply
        • you said sun and moon reveal. first of all sun and moon were revealed 3months ago. theres that. and corocoro will provide us with a reveal next month. thats where the reveals are coming from. if you are talking about a trailer and look at the game then yes only e3 can provide that cuz a magazine cant.

          Reply
          • CoroCoro will probably just reveal the version mascots, starters and perhaps some minor information on the region, like they always do. I agree with Romain, They’ll probably keep most of it for E3.

          • yeah but if you look at oras e3 is was just a small trailer so most will most certainly not be with e3

          • ORAS are remakes, we already knew everything about the game, except the addition of new Mega evolutions.

          • it doesnt matter. e3 doesnt spend much time on a game. and again we are getting news before e3. and e3 is only once. corocoro will start providing news and like always as we get closer to the games release there will be more and more revealed in the magazine

          • yeah the may edition but the june edition will come out in may. this is may edition and we are in april. e3 is in june not may. we will get this scoop in the june edition of corocoro in may

  10. OH YOU GOT TO BE F*CKING SH*TING ME, THREE, THREE GOD DAMN MONTHS THEY’RE MAKING US WAIT FOR A SCRAP OF LEGITIMATE INFORMATION
    I DOUBT I CAN LAST THAT FREAKING LONG, I NEED SOMETHING TO KEEP THE FLAME GOING, THEY PROMISED INFO AND WHAT THEY DO? GIVE BLANK BOXES THEY COULDNT EVEN DO TRADITIONAL SILHOUETTES, THEY ARE BEING TOTAL C*CK TEASERS

          Reply
      • smh. presenting facts is not trolling. Strawberry_Pocky_Moose said below that being part of a fandom means getting excited by stuff like this. yeah its true and its not a bad thing. but to go crazy and blame gamefreak for over hype? come on… and people dont result to attacking me for stating facts

        Reply
        • Calm the fuck down please. I never said I was mad or blaming anyone. All my reactions until now have been completely normal and calm.
          You don’t have to tell anyone to stop blaming GF. If that’s how people deal with this, then let them do it. People aren’t waiting for someone to tell them “told you so”.

          • first of all i am calm, second im not telling anyone to do/not to do anything. im not trying to change anyone’s opinion. why are you lashing out at me and cursing me out? im not saying told you so at all.

          • I mean calm down in general. This whole thread is full of your avatar.
            After reading your comments, I feel you are just coming across as a know-it-all at the moment.

          • a know it all? i literally said im just repeating Joe Merrick’s tweets. and my avatar? are you serious? its late for me and i happen to be up at a time when the majority of the people who visit the site are all asleep. a few hours ago the site was crazy with a lot of comments. im here now talking about corocoro

          • it started with Romains comment, i didnt even mean to reply to you. it is clear that what i said was in reply to Romain but i had hit the wrong thing

          • and now personal attacks? who says i dont already have a girlfriend you just dont know what time it is for me

          • and if you are saying to let people deal with it that way, then why cant i deal with it the opposite way. am i not allowed to voice my opinion too?

    • I think this is the point where the Japanese sense of humour and the Western sense of humour part ways 😀 this is hilarious to Gamefreak, but somehow the joke is not translating well to us, lol.

      Reply
      • Well, it is hilarious to me that people were expecting more.

        But then again I live in Southeast Asia.

        Also this is the “May” issue that comes out on April… and the Japanese are aware of April Fools…

      Reply
        • They annoy me to no end
          But what truly angers me is what they did to the players
          Everyone is labeling everything as a fairy or it should’ve been a fairy or when it mega evolves it should gain fairy
          That’s what pisses me off

          Reply
          • Ooh, I see your point.

            Instead of wanting them to be part-ground or part-steel, right?

            P.S. I’m in the “Mega Milotic, if it should exist, will be a Water-Dragon” camp, though.

          • I don’t make others into Ground Types unless they’re worthy

            Water/Dragon makes more sense, but noooo it’s pretty so it must be a fairy bullshit every and I mean every drooling Hoenn humper says

            Same goes for Mega Rapidash just because it has a measly Unicorn horn it should be one too which is stupid since they are hot blooded race horses with a competitive streak

          • And the ones that pisses me off to no end is freaking Azumarill
            Literally nothing to do with being a fairy

            Also another pet peeve is everyone converting to Fairy Type trainers and blah blah Mawile Azumarill and Gardevoir as their mains

          • I also did not like many of the Pokemon they chose to suddenly make part fairy. A lot of it just felt like they were reaching

    • I actually hoped it would be Normal/Steel. Its an artificial Pokémon, so in my opinion, Fairy doesn’t even make sence, since Fairy types represent (light) magic, and as far as I know, the humans in the Pokémon universe can’t manipulate magic. Normal/Steel would make more sense (to me), since all artificial Pokémon have been of the Normal type.

  17. That’s the biggest troll ever!!! And they keep doing this since February!!! I mean Two month are past and all we know is Magearna and the logos. I’m starting to hate them.

  18. I don’t guess that was a trolling issue, ‘cuz the last first reveals for BW or DPP was the same thing. Now we have to wait until TPCi to announce this for worldwide and after that the June issue of Coro²

    Reply
  19. I don’t care what any of you say, but Luigi301 is right! We are the trolls ourselves for expecting anything to come, and when there is no information, y’all start complaining. And when someone is being logical about the situation, you start slating them and call them a big troll. Get over it, be patient, and learn the difference between a feature and a big scoop! Besides, at least we got Magearna’s typing, whether it was obvious or not, and I love the box art colours 🙂

    Reply
  20. One more month! One more month! Yaaaaaay! 😀
    At least next month will 100%, undisputedly have new Pokemon. We’ll get at least the mascot legendaries, but I’d say that we could get the starters as well. I just can’t believe we have to wait a whole month again…

    Reply
  21. This is a rather interesting image. As you can see, we are still following the path of Black/White with a February reveal and the mascot legendaries revealed in May. Except in their case, they weren’t revealed in CoroCoro. The starters were, which makes me believe that we can get both.

    • You know ShinyXatu, I think you’re on to something here.

      Gen 5 was an improved version of Gen 4 while doing something different as well (starting fresh).

      I feel like Sun and moon (gen 7) will be like a Gen 5 to X and Y. It will improve on story, graphics, and number of pokemon maybe?

      I just feel like maybe GameFreak has spent more time on Sun and Moon than X and Y.

      Reply
    • When I saw the leak this morning. This was the first thing that came to me. shinnoh and BW were great, so I think this means well for Sun and Moon as they want to take their time and space our releases of info unlike XY.

      Reply
  22. Eh we learned the typing that is considered news, well Corocoro didn’t say a huge scoop they just said info would start, we did get info but barely and saying showing the boxarts next month, if they become Trolloro and just show the backgrounds as and not the pokemon. but seeing now that the boxes are in the sky could lead to one of the two legends being a dual flying type or Psychic. and in the sun box. is it me or u can see a bit of the legend on the left side and a bit on the bottom of the logo?

    Reply
  23. So, we’ll have the boxarts next month. That’s cool. Which game are you guys picking up? Sun or Moon? I have my heart set on Moon, personally. I love the purplish-blue thing they have going on.

  24. Is anyone else feeling the sheer comedy of this ? Sure im very disappointed we got no big news or reveals. But this is gas. Corotroll strikes again.

  29. Are people actually upset about this? Expectations should have been kept low for this one especially after what happened with Pokenchi. I’m not surprised one bit they’re having us wait until the month of May to show anything and everyone needs to chill out lol At least we know Magearna is Steel/Fairy and that next month with the term “Big Scoop” we’ll actually have news lol

    Reply
    • I can’t say I’m really upset… I didn’t have high hopes of getting too much, but didn’t they say big news about Pokemon Sun & Moon? It hey shouldn’t get people excited by saying that then revealing nothing except Magearna’s type, which we could have totally guessed already.

      Reply
      • They didn’t say “big news” People just saw that they said the coverage of Sun and Moon was gonna start this month and jumped to conclusions. CoroCoro is a very deliberate magazine. When they say something is coming you better believe that something is coming. On the other hand if they don’t use the correct terminology to convey the importance of the next issue then you shouldn’t expect much.Next month will likely have some good stuff, but I can only say that because CoroCoro says it’ll have “Big Scoop”

        Reply
      • All I was expecting was an announcement for an announcement after the Pokenchi announcement of another announcement. Pokemon has literally become a joke.

        Reply
        • I’m not saying it towards you its more to the ppl that wanted to make mountains out of molehills. I don’t agree that Pokemon has become a joke, it’s more that fans get upset cause they don’t get things the way they want it and I hate that everybody expects things when they want it not when the developers are ready. I don’t want Pokemon to become an every year release either I’m ok waiting 3 to 4 years for a new gen, that being said I’m not gonna deny I’m one of those that need my news fix but just a small amount that way come game time I get great surprises and don’t ruin things.

  31. I’d be willing to bet we get the Legendaries and box art next month. I’d also like to say we’ll get footage, but I’ll believe that when I see it lol Either way considering they showed the glared out boxes in this issue I’d say it’s pretty telling what they will show first.

  32. MAYBE !!!….u should burn this paper to make legendary appear or put it on the water or u should start to punch it until they appear……try to pray for it …..I got it rise the pic toward to the sun and wait (stay safe and don’t try this at home or school).

    Reply
  33. Tbh this tease of box art reminds me of Diamond and Pearl. That art got me excited. I went into the game knowing only the starters. Going into S&M with no info is probably the best. Get to discover everything yourself! Let’s go old school!

    Reply
  34. This is the biggest effing cock-tease. Goddamn GameFreak/Nintendo/CoroCoro! We get pictures of a 3DS game box with the actual part we want covered, and then we learn that Magearna is a type combo that everyone already assumed it would be?! WTF!

    I hate to be the “Debbie-Downer” in the situation, but this is worrying me about the release of Sun and Moon in general. The kind of crap they are pulling in advertising since February just reminds me of the history of almost every freaking Zelda game (Zelda WiiU has made me callous). In last month’s issue, they promised they would start their coverage of Sun and Moon this month. In this month’s issue, all they do is say, “Actually… Next Month.” Maybe Gamefreak is running really far behind on production of these games. They rushed together a trailer that only showed us conceptions, and haven’t shown us anything concrete since. Last month, they probably planned to have more to reveal this month but then realized that they weren’t ready. I can see a release date delay in our future.

    Reply
    • Maybe there’s not much to reveal in Sun and Moon to reveal, so they’re pushing back any information. But I agree, it’s so pointless that they revealed it in February.

      Reply
      • Like, I get that they wanted to make a big, really awesome announcement for their 20th, but they very clearly weren’t ready for it. Company’s, especially any affiliated with Nintendo, need to realize that consumers expect patterns. They give us so much information with X and Y–the announcement trailer containing full gameplay footage (even if it wasn’t finalized), the starters, and the legendaries. And then every subsequent month up to release gave us at least one new Pokémon reveal. Since 4th gen, they’ve given WAY more information than this in regards to announcement. This really just says to me that they are behind on production… Probably because of artist’s block.

        Reply
        • What if they just want to go off the same routine maybe trying to keep things fresh, even if that’s gonna piss ppl off and they give up on Pokemon they’ll just get new fans like I’ve said before as we’ve seen in the last 20 years. Believe me I’m 26 and I’ve seen ppl bitch and moan about the new gens, too many Pokemon, the last plot was crap but at the end of the day and those are the ones to get the games first even if it’s to criticize it. My advice is relax and don’t expect so much news cause it ruins games.

          Reply
          • I like how you say that you’re 26 as if to established some sort of feigned ethos. lol You’re not the only one that has been around from the beginning, hon.

            I’m well aware that people are going to whine about the new games either way. But, if they are trying to go off routine in terms of advertisement, that’s not a very smart idea from a rhetorical perspective. Straying from patterns within the games is fine; it’s welcome; it keeps things fresh. However, the one pattern they always follow is the idea of giving us “new”–new Pokemon, new region, new story, etc. And, if you’re going to provide the “new,” you’ve gotta give a little strip-tease in order to establish interest. The only interest their withholding is providing–at least in my part–is the interest that, for the first time in their history, Pokemon is probably going to delay a release date.

          • I’m not saying I’m the only old timer playing this games and only reason I stated I’m 26 because when we got “new” news we had to wait ages and got less then today, and it happened all the way to ruby and sapphire and every little bit we got was amazing. I understand times have changed but why can’t they go back to when we were kept in the dark and made the games even better and harder.

            Also if it’s delayed they’re not the first or last games to do that.

          • Advertisement has changed. Back in the beginnings of Pokémon, it pretty much had the monopoly on handheld games. You also have to realize that most older fans now were children back in the beginning, and the internet wasn’t REALLY a thing. It’s not like that anymore. Consumers’ interests shift around faster now; a company needs to hook their attention and maintain it. Currently, GameFreak is not maintaining consumer interest. I’m not saying Sun and Moon are going to fail because of this false-advertising they’re doing; I’m saying it’s not looking good for these new games. I’m expecting as low of a production we got from X and Y at this point because they are only trying (and in some cases succeeding) to create immense hype over these games.

          • I totally agree with you on how advertisement has changed and they have hooked ppl to sun and moon that’s why we are here. But I really don’t see how they’ve given us false advertisement they haven’t said anything about a big reveale and they are releasing a movie and don’t want to take hype off of it. Also they might just be waiting on a bigger way to announce it like E3 because Nintendo hasnt had good reviews and think this could be a great way to get more attention.

    • They should’ve held off until June to reveal. All of the new Megas in ORAS were revealed, and all of XY was leaked. Either the game is so big they just want small important details or there’s not much new.

      Reply
      • I’m still going to be expecting a release date delay from now on–probably something like Spring 2017.

        I am pondering the idea of their not being much to reveal, but I prefer to be in denial about that. I’d rather have everything new (like 5th gen) than have the bullshit we got in X and Y. I’m kind of starting to wonder if the rumors of a game with all the regions being released for their 20th being true….. Nothing new, just “redone.”

        Reply
        • The game with all the regions might be true, especially with the NX reveal. I don’t see it happening on 3DS. Maybe N3DS but not regular. Gen 5 was my favorite because everything was fresh. Same with Gen 2,but it had a old stuff but with new features. XY was a let down and lack of post game in both XY and ORAS makes me wonder how long they’ve been working on S&M

          Reply
          • Gen 5 is my favorite too! 😀 I feel like I never hear others admit that.

            I feel like it could be very possible for all the regions to be in one game on the 3DS. ORAS doesn’t even take up a full 2GB of storage. Assuming that a good portion of that space is the Pokémon models, and also assuming the Sun and Moon are operating on the same (or slightly modified) engine, it would be more than possible to fit all six regions into one 3DS game cartridge. However, that’s the last thing I’d want. I don’t have time for that, and I prefer new over remake.

          • Yeah, I believe they compressed it more compared to XY. The 3DS cartridges can hold up to 8 GB of data, but that was back when it was first revealed. I’m sure they expanded. My issue would be the lag. Hyrule Warriors looks awful on the regular 3DS, and XY and ORAS lag just from weather going.

          • If they make the game run similarly to how Smash 3DS runs, then I don’t think the lag will be too much of a problem. Smash completely shuts down the 3DS operating system, and then boots up its own. I could see a similar thing happening; I just desperately don’t want it to. haha

            Also, did anyone actually buy Hyrule Warriors on the 3DS? lol I haven’t heard of a single person owning it; I didn’t even realize it released.

          • Yeah. It has been released. Ive had a couple of coworkers talk about it, and I’ve been tempted to try it, the graphics are unbearable. Which I also just recently got into Zelda so I wouldn’t be familiar with all the characters. 3DS VS New 3DS. VS Wii U has huge differences.

          • Sounds like Smash. I haven’t been interested in new games recently. I’ve been playing old games I never got to play.

          • Smash is ONLY fun at a party… It gets even more fun when shots are involved. I also only ever play on random for my character to keep it interesting.

            I just keep replaying through my favorite Pokemon games, and occasionally playing Pikmin. haha

          • I try to replay pokemon games but I get bored quickly. I suck at Smash so I play alone usually. Haven’t gotten a Wii U so I’m way behind.

          • Gen 5 was great because it did something different, and still great. They started fresh, and added a deep plot with lots of development. It is actually my 2nd fav gen.

  35. I just noticed how the first Pokemon revealed for both generations since Fairy’s first introduction have been Fairy types

  36. People need to calm down….Is something like this really that angering? Do the people getting that upset about the lack of Sun and Moon info have nothing going on in their lives that this is the most important thing in the world?

    Reply
    • No I think as fans of pokemon we get really excited when we are promised coverage on the new games this issue and then they promise it next issue. Honestly, I can wait another month. I’m still gonna get these games, and play them. But everyone is upset because we got misled.

      Reply
      • Exactly, I’m upset but I’m not going to smash my head into the wall. I got Magearna’s type (though it’s looks mostly implied the steel/fairy typing) and news about box art next month. Info will come because time will always move forward.

      • I’m with Sunny on this one. He/she is just stating an observation and that is a lot of people are getting overly upset over the leaks. I understand that you’re upset, as I am upset myself, but in the end, it’s just news we have no control over. There really isn’t a point for anybody to go haywire over it. Everyone needs to take it for what it is and move on. We’ll get info as time goes and before you know the games are out.

        Just my 2 cents.

        • It’s just my observation too. I’ve long thought this. I said exactly what they said directed towards the opposing opinion. So rethink that.

          • How is Sunny putting him/herself above anyone else? I just don’t see the point in getting upset over something so miniscule. I’ve been playing the games for 20 years and have yet to be angered over a lack of information. Do I hold myself above anyone else on here? No, of course not. Everyone is different, but everyone also needs to take a step back and ask themselves if it’s really worth being so upset over that it actually ruins your day. I know for certain people the info would ha e made their day better and I get why they would be upset. The thing is none of us have no control over it, so just move on. Cope with what has been given and handle it in a mature manner. It’s not even about people being upset, but rather how people handle/deal with it that is baffling Sunny and I.

          • OMG…. I’m not reading all of that. How does someone being vocal about not being happy with today’s “news” correlate with people “hav(ing) nothing going on in their lives” and “that this is the most important thing in the world”???
            I say it’s equally offensive to say that.
            I don’t know what you’re defending.
            All I said was I feel those who expressed what he did feel above others.. wrong or right
            Agree to disagree.. goodbye

          • Because there are people who are so upset that they’re literally making it seem like this leak is the only thing that’s going on. When, in reality, I’m sure there are other things going on. Hence why I am baffled at the intensity of how upset some people are.

            I’m upset too, but eh there’s next month and the month after that and so forth.

          • No, you’re right. Sunny could have worded it better as to not provoke anyone, such as yourself. I’ll agree with you on that.

            It’s just pokemon (I know, pokemon is life for sure).

            Your girl?

    • You called out everyone who is upset.. it’s easy to read and see who was upset. I simply took what you said and directed it at the people who get angry at people’s frustration. Literally that’s all I did. If you couldn’t take it.. then don’t say it about others. You’re being too sensitive..

  38. I’m not even mad to be honest.

    The less they reveal about this game before it comes out, the better. I’m tired of knowing almost every detail and new Pokemon before I get a chance to play the fucking game.

    I know we’ve got a long way to go but I hope news stays this slow.

    Reply
    • I just need to know the basics. I need the box legendaries so I can decided which game I want to freaking buy. And the starters. I need those too. And the region map. That’s all I need. Everything else can be a surprise.

      Reply
    • I like the option of having the news there. So those who want it can seek it, those who want to find out as they play can do just that. I personally hate not knowing big details before paying for anything

      Reply
    • I slightly agree, but I like to know at least 25% about a game before I purchase it. As kinganetros said, I at least want to see the legendaries, a few version exclusives, region map, and starters before I go purchase Pokemon Games. X/Y did not share everything with us, the leakers did. The Pokemon Company has done an amazing job with that where we know just enough to speculate and be intrigued.

      Reply
  39. Trying to be optimistic for those who want news, if they showed the boxarts blurred out, they are probably going to show the macots next month as CoroCoro promised a “huge scoop” next month. To be fair and playing advocate for GF/Nintendo, CoroCoro did NOT promise a “huge scoop” in last month’s issue. Just that “special features” on Sun and Moon every month from April on out, would begin.

    Reply
      • Well, at least we’ll get the Legends. I’m trying to be optimistic here. I was once known on Pokejungle as the angriest man on the discussion page. Everytime something didn’t go my way, I’d rage so hard. I looked back on that all yesterday through comments on my Disqus profile, I just wish I could erase that.

  53. So here’s something interesting:

    So the boxarts don’t have the legends on them:

    This is from 4chan and a pretty good look. the boxart’s blank, so they were smart. What I thought was a tail and crystal is the logo mixed with flames from the sun.

    Here’s mine which highlights the logos better:

    Sun’s is easier to see then moon’s, but it’s there.

    The blue circle highlights a weird black line, but it doesn’t seem to matter.

    Reply
    • I think they could still show each version’s legends… it’s hard to really see with that bright burst across it. They could have edited them out.

      Reply
    • Plot Twist:

      This is the actual boxart, they want us to think that we’re being teased but in reality this is the actual thing.

      I don’t know man, you can’t make the assumption that the legendaries aren’t on the boxart just off of this. Is it possible? Sure, but you can’t conclude that just from this.

      Reply
      • True, but it makes sense that they aren’t as they are full aware of what done with photo editing. And I actually saw someone say that imagine if that’s the actual boxart, but you can only see the sun legend when the game’s held up to the sun, and moon to moonlight. Probably impossible, but that be pretty cool.

        Reply
      • My thoughts is the sun legend is a lion/ or griffin. Makes sense. Moon is probably a night owl/wyvern creature.
        Either way, I still believe the legends are going to be based on the rest of norse mythology.
        Team flare has a lot of sun references, so I think we will see them return in sun, and a new team based around the moon. It be like hoenn where one group aids you against the other.
        Also based on the hints masuda dropped on twitter last night, I think the plot will involve sun flares destroying the moon, and the solar winds from the moon causing nature disaster’s on earth.

  54. Plot twist. The box are does look like that but with more purple and orange and they’re supposed to be a mooning sun and a sunning moon.

  55. What do we think the legends will be based off (animal, constellation, etc…) and what typing(s) will each have? Ready………. GO!

    Reply
    • I actually want some humanoid legends. Since the sun and moon are sometimes portrayed as husband and wife, it would be cool for them to have a sort of “cant have one with out the other” relationship rather than the rivalry other legend trios have. So I’m hoping for a Fire/Steel warrior like Sun legendary and a Water/Fairy Nymph-thing for Moon

      Reply
    • The Ram is represented as the Sun and the Tortoise is represented as the Moon… So, what if it’s a Ram and Tortoise as legends? Ram would be firs (duh) and Tortoise would be water (duh again) but what would the secondary types be? Maybe it’s Fire/Dark and Water/Fairy?! Kinda swapping light and darkness…

      Reply
      • The legendaries could represent purity of some kind (as the Sun and Moon are each tied to the sky and nature and whatnot). For that reason, I could see them going with single-typed legends. Maybe Fire and Ice? Fire and Rock?

        Reply
    • I think that a griffin for sun and maybe a wolf or some kind of serpent? But what about this: what if the legionaries were similar kind of like Black and white where they looked similar. I don’t know just speculation.

      But legendaries were never based off of pure animals (mainly). I think we will stick with Norse Myth for this batch of games.

  56. Is anyone against the theory of going back to Kalos. I think it’s something a lot of people want and GameFreak usually listens to the community (not in terms of news though). So does anyone think this won’t happen or doesn’t want it to happen?

    • I want a return to the best region so far, UNOVA! Give me MEGA SAMUROTT NOW! I wouldn’t mind a return to Kalos, but I think it should be Unova…

        Reply
          • While I hope they aren’t, you’re right. Fusion would really take away from the core premise and simplicity that the games are known for. Using it as a gimmick of sorts in BW2 was fine, but having a full-fledged mechanic would ruin a lot.

          • Oh me too, I hope there is no such thing as fusion in Sun and Moon and the rumor is just that, a rumor… I think it’s a terrible idea… But then the two legends could fuse together to cause an eclipse, solar or lunar depending on what version… Based on the same method that was back in Unova….

          • Yeah, having some kind of legendary-based concept would be fine, since it affects the legendaries and just that, like Black/White Kyurem. But having general fusion among Pokemon would be chaotic, and quite frankly, would have me lose interest in the games.

    • I’m not against it at all. I feel like waiting for Gen IV and V remakes is far too lengthy of a wait in order to uncover the loose threads left by XY. I’d love Kalos as a postgame or it being part of the main story, but as long as we have something interesting to do at the conclusion of S/M, I’m satisfied.

      Reply
      • Couldn’t have said it better myself. The whole truths vs. ideals concept that was present throughout the titles added a different kind of depth to the games. All of a sudden the game is less about catching ’em all and conquering the gyms, and more about establishing the most correct moral beliefs.

        Reply
          • Interesting. Maybe instead of having one villainous team there are two neutral teams, and when you pick the one you want to side with, then the remaining group turns hostile while the one you chose becomes your ally.

        • The games felt very real because of the reality striking you hard in the beginning: the struggle between Cheren and Bianca, You and N, and Ghetsis and everyone in the between.,.

          Reply
          • And the reason those names always stick with me is because of their involvement throughout the entire story. I can’t even remember the rival names in XY because of how lifeless and useless they were in terms of the plot. We saw them a few times and that was it, whereas players could really make a connection with characters like Cheren and N.

          • Exactly. The whole traveling with friends, scrap it GameFreak. I feel like everything wrong with X and Y will improve in these games. Kind of like everything wrong with Gen 4 was improved in Gen 5.

          • Much agreed. All of these new concepts they are trying with multiple rivals and all that just isn’t working. BW were truly the first games that struck a chord with me as a Pokemon fan, as everything about them seemed perfect. GF needs to go back to BW’s success and mimic everything it did right for future games.

          • I really hope GameFreak listens. I mean, IGN gave Black and White (and sequels) a very high rating. One of the highest ever for pokemon.

          • What if your rival was initially your friend, but after being constantly beaten by you and discouraged, he becomes hostile? Near the end of the game he joins the evil team and opposes you. It would really tap in to how certain circumstances in the real world can change people.

    • I’m personally very vocal about the fact that I thought Kalos was linear, boring, and the locations weren’t memorable or anything that I would want to explore again.

    • I’m starting to think that hawaii is pretty plausible. There is, of course, the glaring information from the trailer. And after all, other than hoenn, recent generations (black & white and x & y) had very few water routes. Gamefreak could very easily make the region have varying, interesting terrain while keeping the water routes at a medium, more than black and white but less annoying than hoenn level. In my opinion, adding more water to a region makes it more scenic and interesting if done right

  59. Here is my prediction:
    I’m guessing BIG TIME that the Moon box art mascot is going to be Water/Fairy.
    The moon in the natural world controls the tides of the ocean, which would also fit quite nicely with this region most likely being based off of Hawaii. And of course, many legends surrounding fairies are heavily tied to the moon.
    And then there is Sun. I’m going to think, to balance it out, the box art mascot for it will be Fire/Dark.(I’m not too sure though, just a guess, these both could also work being Water/Dark and Fire/Fairy!)
    These typings would also go nicely with the idea that maybe there is still a tie in to Gen 6 somewhere, with the mascot legends again being based off of Fairy and Dark typings, and how they may be connected to Xerneas, Yveltal, and ultimately, Zygarde (especially considering Zygarde’s Perfect Forme has the Sun and Moon colors alongside the X and Y colors on his chest).
    I also imagine that eclipses are going to play a HUGE role in the storyline somewhere. They almost would have to.
    I’m VERY excited for next month, because then, we will know for sure at least what they look like. And even if we don’t get their typings then, we can still speculate based off of appearance!

      Reply
        • It’s still the early slog after a reveal. Once next month’s CoroCoro rolls along and E3 happens the month after, expect lots and lots of new Pokemon and general information. The June/July/August/September leaks are usually constant in revealing 5-10 new Pokemon. You’ll be a happy camper later this year, we all will be.

          Reply
  60. Just realized this September is the 10 year anniversary of Diamond and Pearl (in Japan). That makes me both nostalgic and sad. Gen 4 gets a strange amount of hate, but they’re so good. I might go on record to say they have the best soundtrack of any pokemon game

    Reply
    • 100% not with you!!
      Best soundtrack is on gen 5.
      Gen 4 really sucks, the mons look like megazords, the region is annoying, there is no new feature like day/night or climate effects, there is too much (ugly) legendaries. The only positive thing is the snowy road.

      Reply
      • That’s okay. I have a certain amount of bias for Sinnoh. I stopped playing after gen 1 but got back in during D/P. I just love all of the evolutions they added and I liked Cyrus as a villain. He is cold and calculating, kind of like Ultron. I also sort of relate to him, on a very basic level. I was listening to the music last night and realized that it’s better than I ever remembered. There are so many dynamic themes, I would love to see them remixed if they ever revisit the region.
