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:
<3 PJ
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Nintendo NX
So…. this big news they promised was a lie… I’m really starting to think we aren’t going to get any information until the games come out…
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
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.
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”
LMFAO
I hate to say it but I told y’all so.
All I was expecting was an announcement for an announcement after the Pokenchi announcement of another announcement. Pokemon has literally become a joke.
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.
Silhouettes of mascot legendaries next month and more movie details. There maybe starters and protagonists. Keep them expectations low everyone.
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.
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).
I am thoroughly disappointed and have lost all interest in these games
Until next month.
Well this is disappointing. I really needed this…I’m having a stressful week.
At least theres only a month of classes less and this will make them go by quicker 😀
True. I only have one more full week of school, and then exams of which I only have 1.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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
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.
I don’t recommend Hyrule Warriors at all. I have it for Wii U. It’s a fun game, but the gameplay is VERY repetitive and gets old fast.
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.
And Drayden ?
Yah Drayden was a cool dude I guess?
Foxy grandpa
Um. Okay then. I was just gonna say he had a cool design. But I guess whatever pleases you :/
#silverfox
I found sexy Santa Drayden art
It’s okay I think there are younger children on here.
They’ve posted worse before.
I see. I see.
And I’ve posted it here. If you’re new you’ll learn.
somebody revealed the opposite idea of mine.
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1460469062336.jpg
I wouldn’t be surprised if this happened. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised by anything at this point.
did u mean this or my idea?
I wouldn’t be surprised if your idea or this became real.
me too cuz I am still thinking were stuck in gen 6.
In fact, at this point, gamefreak has numbed all of my emotions relating to pokemon
God, I’d hate this. Lazy, lazy, lazy.
I would be convinced if this were the other way around. Fairy typing has been associated with the moon way too much… But like, Gen 6.5 is still a definite possibility.
To be honest, I’m not surprised if they would do this. Game Freak is really running out of ideas at this point. I feel like they blurred the box arts just to further hide their shameful Legendary Pokemon creations.
What the hell is this?
I just noticed how the first Pokemon revealed for both generations since Fairy’s first introduction have been Fairy types
I’m sure Earthen is pleased
*Cracks Knuckles* wanna say that to my face
Lol. Just being sarcastic XD
Trevenant?
No, sylveon.
Lol Trevenant was revealed before Sylveon in the movie similar to like how Magearna is being revealed. We just didn’t get a typing until later on.
Sylveon was revealed through Corocoro in February and Trevenant was found in a trailer in July (unless he was seen before that)
Sylveon
…. The first Pokemon introduced for X and Y were the starters, Xerneas and Yveltal. That’s a variety of types.
Oh right damn totally ignored them haha
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?
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.
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 surviving by knowing we are 100% getting something next month, plus E3 isn’t that far away.
I’m not like worked up over this or anything; I’m currently just sitting in a boring class and commenting on here is what I’m doing to pass the time. It’s just total bull what they pulled. I can’t say I’m a fan of false advertising.
I see it more as. ..
Do the people like you, who get upset at people’s frustration really have nothing better to stand for in their lives, that they feel the need to be so “above” everyone else here?
But you know.. potato ..patato
Woooow……It’s not like I called anyone in particular out for it . Sheesh…..take it easy there guy….
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.
My 2 cents
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.
Ok.
But don’t pretend what I said was so terrible. It’s my girl as well
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?
I suppose I could have too. .
No, I’m a guy. Lol
Yeah it’s not so serious either way
We good?
And you said “that’s my girl as well”
I was confused as to who “that” was
Yeah we are.. and oops
I meant it’s my view not girl hehe
Ok lol
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..
…wow… I knew they’d show us nothing but wow… this is just… wow…
Now wait are we 100% sure this is all cause the last corocoro stated that we would get “mechanics” of Sun and moon sstarting this month?
Don’t recall them saying mechanics, they said this month their Coverage of S&M would start.
Maybe the legend for sun will be based off the Egyptian God Ra? Not sure if someone else stated this.
Wow. This is just suck a dickish move on CoroCoro’s part. Hey, let’s show the boxart of the games and blurr the Legendaries out! That’s a genius idea!
There are two kinds of people in this world:
Pokemon Go
Pokemon sun and moon
Lol I’m done XD
Yep. Pretty much.
The fact that some people are more hyped over GO than S&M is beyond me.
I wasn’t aware.. I agree. Go couldn’t live up to the hype in it mind
I know. It looks cool and all, love the concept but I’m not as hyped as some people are.
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.
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.
Exactly!! I’m with you 100%
I NEED TO KNOW THAT MY GRASS STARTER IS GONNA BE CUTE AF REPTILE AND NOT THE ABOMINATION THAT WAS CHESPIN.
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
Exactly
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.
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.
The legends next month.. along with blurred out starters. .
I have 0 hope with the way things are going currently
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.
Nah bro. .. it’s just Pokemon. Doesn’t matter. It you can’t rage over a game. .. what can you? xD But ok
Remember my bold prediction way back in the day that pokemon Sun and Moon would each have their own covers with cover art on them? Well… it’s been cofirmed, and honestly, I couldn’t be more hyped
Don’t all versions have their own cover art?
Yeah. I was being sarcastic.
over my head, sorry
Lol no prob
How much longer must I wait for my friggin Fire Bull
Eternity. Jk, be patient young grasshopper. Thee shall get your prize if thee is balanced and steady.
Screw that noise, why wait patiently for something to happen later when you can behave violently and belligerently now
Couple of generations at best
So from last month to this month and now next month.
Either someone is seriosuly procrastinating at GF or they just want to torment us. I’m going with the latter.
Not that it matters in the long run
In other news Steel/Fairy Magearna.
As if the previous two steel/fairies werent annoying enough.
Still an awesome type though. Steel ftw.
*hugs EarthenWarrior*
Why would anyone hug me
I felt like. Maybe it makes you feel better?
I’m upset, too. Had to share it. Something like that 🙂
I’m overly skeptical at your motives but I’ll let it slide since I’m bummed
I read your comments and … I don’t know… just wanted to give you a hug… that’s all 🙂
Take it if you like it ~
I swear if that’s you Chico
No, it’s not D:
I just… wanted to hug you… that’s all…
Lies you’re all plotting something
Nobody shows me any kind of kindness, and something like this out of the blue
It’s obviously a ploy
… I thought some kindness would be good… I’m sorry you didn’t want it … will stop to bother you now … last thing I wanted to say is that I think you’re a kind person, so I wanted to give you something back 🙂
Me sorry D:
Oh trying to cover up your tracks ehhhh
WHO DO YOU WORK FOR!?!?!?
*Initiates a group hug of EarthenWarrior*
*joins in*
Yay 😀 ~
*joins too*
Someone spilled this all over at the CoroCoro HQ.
LOLZ. Oh hey Dae haven’t seen you in forever.
I’ve been in China for three weeks!
Wow! Nice! I love China!
