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:

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Nintendo NX
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.
Ughhhhhh 4.5 weeks until the next issue
Alright somebody freeze me
…..it’s super effective….
……shit
Eh… Whatever.
I kinda expected something like this.
In the words of TJ from an Odd1sOut video “You know what? Whatever. There is no reason to get mad. It won’t help us.”
Ohohohohoh there’s always a reason to get mad
I think you missed the point of the quote but *shrug*
Did i?
The point is that getting angry wont help change your situation. It just makes you feel bad and doesn’t make things any better. Like if your computer loses a ton of data or something like that, getting angry wont make the data come back. It just stops you from getting closer to fixing it
What do we think the legends will be based off (animal, constellation, etc…) and what typing(s) will each have? Ready………. GO!
Plot Twist: There are no legends.
Griffin and Mambo
Mambo?
Ocean Sunfish
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
I do wanna see some 20-30ft Titan and Titaness deities
Aries and Poseidon…
Apollo and Artemis
This would be awesome
As long as they keep it in Titan height
I’m sick of these Legends barely hit over 10 feet
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…
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?
In Aztec mythology, there is a solar eagle (sun) that battles with the dark jaguar (moon)
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.
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?
Right here
You are against it?
All the way
And that goes double for returning to Hoenn
Why are you against having a double region game?
Because we were just there
New games are supposed to be new regions
(Obviously this doesn’t apply to sequels and remakes)
So I’m guessing you didn’t like Gen 2? Because even though we were there, we have a TON of unanswered questions. So do you think maybe that GameFreak will answer all the questions in the new region?
Johto gets a pass because it region was meant to be connected
But people saying Kalos to Hoenn that’s what really Gear Grinds my Klinks
LOL. No, hoenn WON’T be connected. But I’m fine with Kalos to new region.
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…
I’m definitely on the same page as you. I absolutely love Unova (it’s my favorite region) and would love to return there as soon as possible.
And if these “fusion” rumors are true… what was the first region to fuse? Unova…
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.
Lol that would be really strange. It’s probably a one time only thing.
And it’s a lame idea… it’s copying Digimon….
Git in line buster, if any Unova Pokemon deserves a Mega it’s my pride and joy (and Second in command) EXCADRILL
Never thought a Fairy-type user would be saying this, but I actually really love Excadrill. It was fantastic when I used it in BW.
Well don’t forget that my Excadrill eats Electrical Rodents for fun
That’s fine, Pichus and Plusles can take the bait. Just don’t harm my Dedennes.
*Crunch*
*gasp*
;~; my babies
*Sadistic grin* *Grinds foot*
Exacadrill would be cool, but sorry sir, Mega Samurott would be the boss
I wouldn’t mind that AT ALL. YOU FRIKIN DESERVE A MEDAL MAN. GREATEST IDEA EVER.
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.
True. Honestly, I loved HGSS for its really good and LONG post game. I love it when the story continues even after you beat the champion!
Honestly, Unova did so many things RIGHT. But it did it DIFFERENTLY. And I love that GameFreak went out of their way to make a great story and for the first time I found myself in between an actual moral war in a pokemon game XD
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.
S&M should add a feature where you can choose what morals you believe in. You could choose what side you want to take
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.
Good idea
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.,.
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.
That’s a fantastic idea, my friend.
Dude. You are really on to something. Go work for GameFreak XD
XD Thanks bro
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.
Same here. I thought the graphics were beautiful. But everything else was bland and tasteless.
But that’s why we need to go back. We should get to see more to Kalos and give it a chance to redeem itself.
Yassss. Agree with you.
Speaking of Legends what if we got a Mythic purely inspired by Kaijus
A gigantic monstrosity that emerges from the depths to destroy stuff, but lurks in a diving area where you can battle it
What is better… Pokemon Black/White or Pokemon Black 2/White 2?
I’m not sure. The first ones were great for the characters and plot. And then Black and White 2 improved on better Pokedex. So I’m not sure.
Plus, I love the rival in Black 2 White 2
He was awesome but his goal was a little puzzling. I was like, yo you must really love your sister’s purloin.
Right? I liked his look, I wish that was the main character
It wasn’t about the Purrloin lol. He wanted to be strong enough to take care of his friends and loved ones so that he wouldn’t stand by helplessly.
The new content that BW2 brought forward, from the World Tournament to the plethora of different legendaries easily makes for a great game. However, I never got to play through Black 2 completely, so I can’t make a full impression on everything the game offered. With that said, I’m gonna have to say that Pokemon Black/White are the better of the two, at least until I get around to playing their sequels.
The three starters that would make the BEST Megas are the Unova starters….
I really liked B2, although I never had a chance to play BW (my wife has black).
BW
Black and White 3 are my personal favorites
So with my question out of the way, what country or area do you guys think we will see in Sun and Moon?
Hawaii plus Spain plus Singapore plus central and South America
With a primary focus on Hawaii
lolz
I would love Spain (Barcelona is my favorite city int eh world), and I really don’t know if we can take ONE screen shot and say oh, it’s a tropical region. However, there are many more clues pointing to Hawaii (the rainbow license plate, the tropical region, the woodpecker/cardinal)
Yah, Spain or Italy would be nice.
BUT I WOULD LOVE A CALIFORNIA REGION!!! I mean, WE ARE THE GOLDEN STATE OF SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!! AND WE ARE LINED WITH THE OCEAN WHICH THE MOON CONTROLS! Plus, I live in Southern California so… I’ve been DYING for a region based off Cali
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
Could be. I do hope this region is connected somehow to another one. Hopefully Kalos though.

Has anyone created their own Pokemon story? With region and starters and everything? If so, show us what you’ve got!
I got a fakemon dex
show us
Ooooh. You should show us!
Well when I say dex, just the names and their types
One day I’ll draw em
But do you have a chatango account
What is chatango
I mean you should just give the name and typing. It’d be cool. But no I don’t have an account.
Seriously, let me draw your stuff for you. I’m a good painter and would love to do stuff
Errrrr
Why not? I would love to! Here’s a painting I did, if you wanna see my work.
did u use sai or something else ?
I used Photoshop CS6. It’s useful because of the amount of texture brushes.
Urrrrr I mean it would help (since it’s a low priority project and I’m reeeeaaaaallly lazy) but what would become of my artistic integrity
Whatever you want man. I have lots of spare time during spring break (which is in a week) and we can go back and forth on what you like best
http://i.imgur.com/zU3v2cx.jpg
My last D&D character
Nice!!! So I’m guessing you would like to draw them yourself? I understand why you would want that. Your vision, your drawings 😀
You can draw mine if you want…
I don’t use them fancy shmancy art programs
Ink and paper master race!!!!
I know. I wouldn’t use Photoshop. I would use paper and maybe watercolor.
you can do mine if you want…
Sure! Lets do it! How do we chat directly?
I don’t know… how do we? What do you suggest?
I got know solution. Srry. Maybe someone else knows?
Chatango
Oh. Hmmm lets try it Cosimo
Also I’ll give you a test run
Nah its alright. Unless you have to pay?
Dude Chatango is what PJ uses for the Chat
And the test run was to draw my final starters
Oh okay. So how do you give us a test run?
T_T just go to chat
Make an account and you can privately chat with another member
And you drawing is the test run
OMG sorry I wasn’t sure what you were saying XD I’ll be back
Well whenever you see this
Sproot’s final Evolution
Ginormount Grass/Rock, a massive mossy green mastadon with thick rock like skin, a massive stony spire on the back and a imposing pair of tusks, long tattered leaf ears and a long trunk
Cuburn’s final Evolution
Appolleo Fire/Dark, a massive feline Pokemon with a massive mane of fire running down its back and to the tip of its tail, it has tiger like stripes that glow as it burns hotter
Dottle’s final Evolution
Percephin Water/Psychic, Finally a majestic Dolphin with long pectoral fins with waves similar to wings and three forehead pearls, two pelvic fins and lastly a beautiful tail
I am seeing it. I’m on the chat on PokeJungle. Is that where I go? Lol I’m so confused. But if the chat doesn’t work then I will just draw this stuff of this.
Well I just suggested chat since you and Cosmo could chat without littered disqus
I’m on
http://shorpokemon.chatango.com
It’s not working for some reason…
It works for me…
Go on the chat on pokejungle I’m on
where?
The chat^^ press the chat button and I’m on it. On Pokejungle
I did this for contest ….done in 3 hour. http://img00.deviantart.net/62e9/i/2015/025/8/9/gold_soul_dragon_by_shadragz-d8fggmp.jpg
HOT DAMN
Thank you. Literally hot. GET IT
Show us the starters and we will all pick ours
All I got is one on me is Sproot
http://i.imgur.com/AN6Wt3W.jpg
Well
Sproot is a chubby Pale light Green Elephant calf with broad leaf ears and a fluffy grassy collar
Cuburn a mixed big cat Cub maybe even a liger, bright orange furn, black stripes a muzzle of fire and a tuft of flame on the head
Dottle a petite amphibious Dolphin with tiny nub like legs, semi-long fins and a pink pearl on the forehead
So I built a version based on California, the Shor region.
Fire Starter:
Bear cub
Cosio -> Grizzlioso -> Tuzelio (Fire/Dark)
Water Starter:
Dolphin (but is bipedal)
Delphinius -> Maranapo -> Posidius (Water/Fairy)
Grass Starter:
Bird
Quaflea -> Doduff – Leafiave (Grass/Psychic)
Actually…. It’s Grass/Fairy and Water/Psychic
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!
KEEP THE HYPE ALIVE! ?✨
I love the idea of a Fire/Dark and Water/Fairy pairing. I think it’s one of the more likely ideas for these games. Also, are you THE AuroraLights493? If so, I used to watch your Black and White shiny hunts!
OMG! As a matter of fact, I am she! ??❤️ Lol, I use the same name for a lot of stuff online, it makes things easier to remember! ?
That’s so cool! I’m glad you liked my videos! I’ve been out of hunting for a bit because of college sadly (gotta love being a Nursing Major ?), but as soon as summer hits, I’m jumping back with both feet first!
My current target is a (hopefully) live Shiny Suicune on Crystal! ❤️✨✨✨
Currently at around 4.7K SRs.
SOON…
*tries to find fan art of Glen from Pokkén*
*there’s literally nothing*
Because you’re literally the only one on earth that finds a completely irrelevant side character attractive.
Now stop posting your tweets on here, it’s like déjà vu.
No one pays attention to me. 🙁 maybe you should stop coming on here.
*NOONE PAYS ATTENTION TO ME 🙁 * – ME
I can prove you false.
Yo Earthen I’m on the Chat where you at.
Star was supposed to unban me tonight
Oh. Can you not chat there?
Nope not until my false banishment is lifted
Okay well I’ll get to you when I finish 😀
Why did u get banned ? 🙁
I have always had this gut feeling that nothing will be revealed until E3. It just feels that way for some reason. .-.
Let’s keep it that way. Gives me a reason to live.
But we’re getting a huge scoop in next month’s issue. This time, we can afford to get hyped. Nobody knows what it will be, of course, but I’d say that full box arts (and mascot reveals) are almost 100% confirmed. At least one brand-new Generation 7 Pokemon is guaranteed.
I need a Mr. Mime STAT
Reflection Cave, famalam.
I’m sorry. Reflection Cave is not in ORAS
Trade from X/Y, famalam.
I only have one 3DS with me. I found one on twattee. Don’t panic.
GTS, famalam.
Tried it. I kept getting an error vod
Pokebank is your friend
Wifi was down and I haven’t renewed my subscription and can’t until June.
Wow never thought I’d ever hear that
maybe they will show legedaries in 15th when corocoro officially leak.
It’s a pretty safe bet. These censored box arts are a huge tease/advertisement for next month.
showing legendary alone it’s not huge for me.
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.
I feel bad.
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
100% with you!!
Yay! I’m not completely alone in my thinking!
You’ve always had premium taste.
Gee, thanks 🙂
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.
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.
I love Sinnoh more each time I play through Platinum. It’s always better than I remember.
I need to replay it soon. The only thing is that it can be vexing to go back a gen or 2 and not have the newer game mechanics you’ve gotten used to!
I love gen 4, Platinum aas the first game I played and loved the shot out of it. Great game, probably the only reason I checked out other games.
Gen 4 was one of the best generations in my opinion. The only thing I didn’t like about the games was how slow the fights were.
*9:09 pm CoroCoro HQ-CoroCoro Vault* *whistles* That is a Big Vault, Now how am i going to get the leaks in the big vault? Hmm *Snaps his finger* aha i got an idea!*he grabs his bag and pulls out a Spray Can that say “Door in a Can” on it* This will do the trick.*Sprays on the side of the vault,giggles a bit and walks in*
What a coincidence hmmmm I will have to watch you closer from now on. ?
Part of missing page and I do have to admit GF has a sense of humor.
I don’t get it.
The two guys are acting spy’s then took the pic of the box art but since the flash was on it ruined the pic
OH LOL. I couldn’t make that out
What’s that picture of the tower on the other page?
I’m guessing it’s the GF building? I can’t read Japanese so it’s beyond me.
Probably. I was like, Battle Tower..??
The spy stuff is the same as my comments i made.
What’s that tall building the blue arrow is pointing to from the what I assume is the Moon cover?
Imagine the whole idea of pokemon sun and moon was a joke created by gamefreak.
Don’t say stuff like that.
So, I know this like the stupidest question to ask but has it been established that the Mega Xerneas/Yveltal thing shown yesterday on 4chan is fake? Lol.
For my own personal Pokemon creation, should the water start be based off; Manta Ray, Platypus, Dolphin, Sea Lion
sea lion
Platypus would be pretty cool and it fits with Gamefreaks Water stater pattern of animals that live in water habitats but don’t need to live underwater to survive.
The region takes place in California, so Sea Lion would be better suited (the fire starter is a grizzly bear, the grass starter is a quail)… But I like the idea of a platypus. You don’t think it’s too much like a bird grass starter and/or Psyduck?
