New Pokémon in Corocoro Trailer?!

Japanese comic Corocoro has recently uploaded a new trailer for Pokémon Sun & Moon and in it is a very brief glimpse at what appears to be a new Pokémon. The Pokémon appears to be some sort of canine/feline species (seen in the image below on the left). Could it be a new Eevee evolution early-on dog Pokémon similar to Lillipup?

New Pokémon

Very reminiscent of Espurr being found before having been officially announced!

  1. So if this decryption is in fact correct
    Rowlet is Grass/Flying
    Litten will be a Ground/Fire (which makes zero sense giving it primarily Ground)
    And Popplio Water/Fighting

    Overall I can say I’m thrilled and enjoying the chaos, Ground and Fighting go with me like that *snap*

  2. Skiddo was also seen before it was revealed. These are intentional on Pokemon’s part, to increase interest. We now have four unnamed/unannounced Gen 7 Pokemon, including legendaries!

    • yeah there’s a long line of history of pokemon being seen before reveals
      I remember when lucario was such an awesome pokemon in the mystery of mew movie that I was pumped for Gen 4

      • I think they should have put a Gen 7 Pokemon in last year’s movie, because we were kept in complete silence until this February’s CoroCoro with Magearna’s reveal. I know we’re all excited and hyped now, but for a whole 12 months our potential hype was being wasted.

  3. As I am in the early stages of restarting my Soulsilver, I have quickly realized how bad/mediocre a majority of the Johto pokemon really are..

    Reply
  4. I don’t really like Fire Ground and I don’t like fighting types in starters anymore… so if these are true Rowlet is my choice!

  5. What are some of your pokemon pet peeves?

    I usually pick water types. So I never get to use Lapras in the games I can get it easily in and I really like Lapras.

    Also when you put up a repel and you still encounter pokemon because the front member is low leveled

      • I’ve managed to go through Pokemon Heartgold without grinding for a long period of time yet
        I was about 10 levels under lance’s strongest pokemon at the elite four but I pulled through
        it was worth for me cuz i just really really don’t like grinding >_<

    • Grinding for Ralts on route 102.

      Must have played through Emerald like 20 times, never left Route 102 till Ralts was mine.

      Reply
    • 1) Grinding
      2) Saving cool pokemon until late into the game and then when you get to them they’re massively under leveled, forcing you to grind…..-_-
      3) Pokemon that should be able to learn fly but can’t!
      4) Pokemon with terrible stats. Why do they exist if they’re unusable?
      5) Gym Leaders/E4 members with pokemon that aren’t part of the type they specialize in…
      6) NO DARK GYM

        • Stupid Bruno. I’ve thought of another: HM’s. Honestly just replace them with TM’s that mimic the attack power of surf/fly and designate a 5th slot for these moves so that they’re unusable in battle but don’t have to take up a slot. Or just give us key items instead? Weed wacker, Flashlight, iron fists, teleporter, swimsuit, rebreather?

          Reply
      • I actually don’t mind 5 when they have some sort of moves that are related to the location of the gym leader and have a moveset with those type of moves.

        Like the 8th gym in D/P

      -When you are trying to train a pokemon and it KEEPS dying, so it won’t get exp
      -Gym Leader getting Increased hax
      -Paralysis
      -Whitney
      -Every time GF removes a good feature
      – Shauna
      – Losing SOLELY because of hax
      – When you go far into a route and you realize you need an hm so you must travel back to PC
      – When IV you always get the exact opposite IVS you want (EX: I want 31/x/31/31/31/31 pokemon, but all the eggs are 31/31/31/x/31/31)

    • This would so be me. Kukui is ridiculously hot!!!!! Game freak is finally blessing us with someone even hotter than Sycamore and THANK GOD!!!!!!! My gay self needed this. When I saw the newest trailers for the first time, I prayed that he will be our professor. Cuz it seems that u will stay in constant communication with him (again, thank God…….. Just seeing his shirtlessness on a daily…… UNNNNH!!!!) like I just can’t wait.

      Reply
      • He is heavily influenced by most of the local guys here in Hawaii. I guess that’s why I don’t find him too attractive. I see these types of men so often. If you want some Kukui action, move to the big island of Hawaii!! Lol 🙂

  6. Do you guys play Nuzlockes? I’ve never done so before, and I was wondering if you guys thought it was fun to do. What did you like, what did you hate? Etcetera.

    Reply
    • I’ve tried but I’ve never been successful
      I like the random catch aspect of it where you catch your first pokemon and then you have to power through with it
      but the concept of perma-death can be destructive when your starter goes down
      It can be kinda disheartening

      Reply
    • I start them but I dont like using pokemon I’m not that interested in. I tried to start one on Y, got a fletchling, got bored.

      Reply
      • That’s what I’m afraid of too, while it’s actually a good thing to use Pokemon you’ve never used, because I’ve heard people saying they suddenly liked certain Pokemon after a nuzlocke.

        Reply
        • Yeah. I dont know why I get bored because I like the thought of trying new pokemon. The farthest I got in a nuzlocke was in Platinum when I got to Oreburg city

  7. what was your first gym leader/rival battle/elite four member that was basically the wall you couldn’t get past without multiple tries?

    Reply
    • Mine was Lance in Firered/Leafgreen when I played it for the first time
      I was having a good time getting through the elite four and then suddenly full blown dragon-types
      I think I just stopped playing the game at that point, which is why i didn’t finish it until my marathon

    • Can’t think of one.
      Cynthia, Red and the Steven rematch in ORAS were the only battles I’ve lost. I think I lost to Red twice.

    • A lot of places in Kanto Johto Hoenn and Sinnoh
      But My first had to be the second/thrd rival battle at the bridge in Kanto
      I cried so hard losing to him over and over

      Reply
    • It was in my first game ever, Sapphire, The Rival battle, under the Cycling Road a.k.a. “bridge”, south of Mauville, near the Trick House.

      That was my only wall, the rest, I was old enough to know. 😐

      In the Alpha Sapphire version of that fight, I already had a Taillow ready to destroy the rival. 😀

      (I started with Mudkip both times, but when I was young, I had extreme Starter focus.)

      Reply
    • I know it’s not the most “original” but back when I was a kid I was playing through Crystal and Whitney kept destroying my team.

  8. Crap. I just got my PS4 (finally), but I realize now that it doesn’t come with a vertical stand. That’s kinda important to me. I hope I can find a store that sells those stands.

  9. According to the folks at Bulbagarden forums, the starter typings could be Grass/Ground, Fire and Water/Fighting, not Grass/Flying, Ground/Fire and Water/Fighting. That’s why the Ground icon is between the flying and fire icons, because Rowlet changes types.

    It sorta makes sense, since Rowlet’s final stage could be based on a burrowing owl, but I hope you guys are right, I want Litten to become a dual type.

    Reply
        • Why the schadenfreude? We should be on the same team,, starter-wise, this time. 😀

          I was moving from the possibility of a Fire/Ground kitty to the possibility of a Grass/Ground owl, BTW…

          Oh wait, you’re picking the Water one this time. Heh heh heh.

          Reply
          • Who cares I like Fighting types too, and if Litten ends up ground I can just use it in my Moon Ground mono

            Besides things could change, but I don’t jump ship often

      • They haven’t revealed it, people looked deep into it and found it. Officially, we’re not supposed to know this yet.

        They’ll only reveal the starter evos around September/October.

        Reply
    • Ew No that sounds awful, even worse Litten becoming fire ground, no thanks.
      If one of them becomes ground I’ll pick the other

      Reply
    • “According to the folks at Bulbagarden forums”

      what, are we treating them like legit insiders now? lmao

      Just wait until we get the next stage of evolutions guys, it’s close to impossible to tell without that. I mean who would have thought Froakie would be water/dark? Or Piplup be water/steel?

  10. The chaos I love it
    All because you’re all so shallow at the sight of Ground or Fighting on the Starters

    Reply
  11. SOMEONE

    Explain to me please where this notion that the starters will be part ground flying and fighting ( again GAMEFREAK, 5 starter Pokemon in a row fighting type? If this is true I’m heading to your HQ and giving you all a brick break…

  12. Feels weird to finally be doing this (been stalking all of your conversations since 2013), but hello everyone! My name’s Tevis and I’m 23 years old. I currently live in Hawaii (born and raised), so if you have any questions about it feel free to ask! I’m part Japanese / Caucasian / Portuguese, an art student attending the University of Hawaii at Hilo, and gay.

    Obviously we are all here for Pokemon so here are some Poké-related facts about myself: I’ve been playing since its release in America (I was 6 years old and played blue version), my favorite Pokemon is Lopunny, and I will most likely be picking Popplio for my starter in SM. K. I want to get to know all of you! So please tell me about yourselves! 🙂

    Oh! And I think the new Pokemon showed in the Corocoro trailer looks like a shiba.

    Reply
  13. Also another normal type deer or dog? How about switching things up and making it ice.

    Anyone else see fighting type in Solgaleo?

    Reply
  14. I feel ok while knowing Litten will not being Fire/Ground type …..but I feel sorry for Rowlet and the grass lovers.

    Reply
  15. I hope they make a bunch of new moves this generation and revamp a lot of pokemon’s movepools. I want a special based ground-type move similar to earthquake called Mudslide. Some power and accuracy just make it special.

    Reply
    • I still want my Blindside attack which is basically a Dark physical Futuresight but it randomly triggers 1-3 turns so risk reward kind of thing

      Reply
    • I’d like to see a fairy type equivalent to Draco meteor, maybe with stars dripping light on the opponent…. And more status dragon type moves, physical fairy moves. A really strong dark type attack. A grass or bug variation of earthquake…. More physical psychic attacks. Maybe a new status condition…

      Reply
      • I like these ideas. Bug definitely needs more strong attacks and Fairy needs a few more physical attacks. I’d like to see a bug type trolling move called Hive Mind. If your opponent has any bug Pokemon on their team then your bug Pokemon takes control of them and makes them attack the other trainers Pokemon on the field

  16. Proposed changes to ice types:

    1.Make them resist more types. Fairy, Fighting, Grass, Ice and Water.

    2. No longer weak to fighting.

    3. Add more boosts in hail

    4. Stop making defensive ice types/glass cannons. More pokemon like Froslass and less like bulky icebergs

    Reply
      • With gusto
        Fairy really doesn’t serve a reason to why they shouldn’t damage it normally what you think they would just freeze on contact
        I can see a similar state with grass but honestly I can see a log bashing ice to chunks and vines whiping it apart,
        Ice already resists ice
        And for Water, Water is a state of Ice and it can melt the water or at least strike the ice, not enough to effectively kill it but just enough to hurt it

        Reply
        • Why does grass resist electric, you seem to have a good idea about this type thing and I’ve always wondered.

          Reply
        • I agree with ice being super effective against water. They should also make Acid and Acid Spray super effective against steel types like freeze dry is against water

          Reply
    • I think that Ice types should resist Grass, Ice, and Water. Those make sense. I think it should be super-effective against water types, have a boost in hail (like speed or something) and have boosts in stats of ice types.

      Overall, I love ice a lot (especially the designs of some, but it is a really poor type in battle and wish that GameFreak capitalizes on this and makes a move.

      Reply
      • You know i thought about how to boost ice types without making them too op. So i thought, why not make hail remove the weakness of ice types, kinda like delta stream?
