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:

I like that purple and orange
GIVE ME MORE
So that Orange seems to have some flames around it. And the purple one gives me Fairy type vibes.
I really hope there is something more.
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.
Oh and GIVE US MORE
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.
I wouldn’t count on it, since Fairy type recently came out.
I know, its just a long time dream of mine, XD
Well that dream ain’t happening anytime soon so tough
I can definitely see them creating new types somewhere down the road. Maybe in gen 8/9? 😛
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.
I feel betrayed
Your april scans were way better LOL
i love the capital leaking
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
I mean we are always expecting too much, last month they said PSM coverage would start this month. I expexted at least something, I would be happy with them just giving us the PCs.
“it promises that from next month, special features on Sun & Moon will begin in the magazine.” right from serebii
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
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.
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
I know, we’re cool bro *fistbump*
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.
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
Didn’t this happen last month ;-)?
( screaming internally)
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
huge scoop usually means lots of content. just another month of waiting you guys
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.
Trolling in the deep of my ?
like i said it wasnt them who trolled us.
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 will say that im loving the orange and purple box arts
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 ^_^
someone get the spongebob “PURPLE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR” meme
At least we know something new: they won’t be a New 3DS exclusive
LOL :_(
And the game will be in a box.
*smacks ya*
I am feeling starter silhouettes given this first image.
I loved making and looking at the fan renditions of the gen 5’s silhouettes.
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.
I think I can work out something in the sun box art.. Is it the logo or part of the mascots design?
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.
serebii says the text says that there will be a huge scoop next month and also you cant see the pokemon on the box art
*2:39 CoroCoro HQ*hmm according to the diagram of the HQ the Pokemon sun and moon leaks are on the very top floor i’m going up!*Grabs a Grappling hook in his bag and shoots his way up to the top floor*
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.
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
You keep saying that to all comments. But do you even notice I’m not talking about Corocoro?
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.
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
Wasn’t the E3 trailer the one with the kid that finds a painting of the Primals? That kinda had a truckload of stuff.
And next Corocoro is… June!
what about may?
next corocoro is gonna leak in may
THIS IS MAY COROCORO!
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
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
how long between oras and gen 7 have we waited for news? longer than 3 months m8. and you can last that long
Oh don’t give me that kinda statistical nonsense
You know god damn well we were out of new game season drought
facts are facts. may is the month news comes. has been in the past. and so what? yeah we are out of the drought they announced pokemon sun and moon and people are talking about them. you have to wait. ive said it a few times, they never said big news. they said feature. the games were featured in the magazine
haha I love how angry everyone is. We should go to Japan and riot outside of GF
To be perfectly honest
To quote mr Bruce Banner “I’m always angry”
I don’t know who is the biggest troll here. Corocoro? Game Freak? or Luigi301?
It’s me… sorry
biggest trolls are ourselves for expecting too much. its not a bad thing. it just what happened.
Congratulations. You trolled yourself
he’s part of the plan
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
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
never mind, this is going nowhere.
youre right but it didnt need to start anywhere either.
it started with my joke 🙂
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
Get a girlfriend.
and now personal attacks? who says i dont already have a girlfriend you just dont know what time it is for me
Oh, I just read you like orange and purple. So… Get a boyfriend.
Rude and slightly homophobic.
You didn’t know? All queers love purple and orange. Common logic, hellooo
But still fun.
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.
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…
magearna is steel fairy confirmed
FUCK
So, Magearna has been confirmed as Steel/Fairy.
DAMN IT ALL TO HELL
What did you want Magearna to be?
Pure Steel
But WHY ANOTHER GOD DAMN FAIRY
Seriously this lack of Info is the shank wound and Magearna being part fairy is the salt
I’m not getting the Fairy part with Magearna tbf lol. Steel I totally see though.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh
There’s nothing wrong with it being fairy. We still don’t have many. You don’t complain when every other legendary is a dragon
Normal/Steel, I’m pretty sure we don’t have that one yet. Plus its an artificial Pokémon, and they are usually either Normal, or Steel (Polygon, Genesect etc. Mewtwo’s the only exception:
Not really surprising, but nice to know!
Welp might as well pool my worthless time into something
They started making an anime for Bokuheroacademia looks pretty decent
The first episode has Mt Lady <3
