August CoroCoro Leaking {UPD1}

The latest edition of Japanese comic magazine CoroCoro has been leaked and we are currently translating it for any new information 🙂

  • Bear is called Kiteruguma. It is described as cute yet deadly. It is classified as the powerful-arms Pokémon. It’s hug is dangerously strong and people in the Alola region regularly put warning signs out. It is Normal/Fighting with abilities Fluffy/Klutz. It’s name is possibly a play on words for “to wear” and “it’s here!”
  • Deflated Pikachu-esque Pokémon is Mimikkyu. It is a Ghost/Fairy type with the ability Disguise and is said to lurk in the darkness. It is classified as the bakenokawa (a veil hiding a monster) Pokémon. The body is black and the Pikachu-looking part is actually cloth-like and covers it from the sun. The article warns people about looking under its veil. It’s name seems to come from ears, mimic and ~kkyu (cute/timid sounding),
    UPD1: A clearer scan of a section with Mimikkyu’s information has surfaced:The reason that Mimikkyu resembles Pikachu…!? It modelled itself after Pikachu goods that were all the rage 20 years ago?! It seems it wants to make friends with humans just like Pikachu“.<3 PJ

  1. Okay first reaction: Meh??? What the hell is that thingy right?
    The lefty bear looks decent especially in the smaller pics. wonder about typing Dark/Fairy?

    The scan does look real.

  2. simply amazing!!! These ara so awesome looking. Very different than the typical Pokemon. The Gen is rounding up to be great!!! lol

  3. ”People in Alola are scared of Kiteruguma to the point of having warning signs about it. It is really strong and can break anytthing in two. It likes to hug its trainers but is strong. Raising one puts your life in danger.”

    Reply
    • Very different from what we’re used to. I personally love them and the Ghost/Fairy typing just really finishes it off for me. I will definitely get it on my first playthrough!

      Reply
  4. ”Mimitsukiyu hates sunlight, preferring dark places. It is rumoured that the cloth covering its body is a strategy to avoid the sun. Don’t try to remove the cloth it is said that those that do become afflicted with an illness.”

  5. These make me laugh so freaking hard! They’re so weird and creepy. It’s so out of character for Pokemon(even the “scary” ones) I’m not sure I’ll ever use either, but they are certainly both welcome to join the Pokemon family hahahaha

    Reply
  6. I have a feeling that the Pikachu-esque Pokémon isn’t the actual Pokémon, since its ability is called ‘Disguise’. It could be something like a Ditto or a Zoroark. Maybe we’ll see the real Pokémon later.

    Reply
    • Same, but the ghost isn’t that bad to me anymore…now that I realize it’s eyes aren’t the Pikachu’s 😛

      Reply
  7. The bear is sooo cute, but it gives me a no evolution vibe. Hopefully I’m wrong and it receives either a pre-evolution akin to Ursaring or Beartic or an equivalently amazing evolution. The cloth Pokemon is soo weird and out of the norm for Pokemon – both of these are – and that’s why I love it! All in all, these two Pokemon are well designed although the bear could do without the headband.

    Reply
  8. They’re really going all out with the new typings this region. That said, not sure that I like that ghost/fairy one…

    Reply
  9. With the addition of these two Pokemon, the number of Pokemon revealed thus far along with their confirmed evolutions is 31! 😀

    Reply
  10. Um… These two are VERY weird haha. I don’t really like the panda one, but I’m sure it will grow on me. However, I find the Ghost/Fairy one really cute!

    Reply
  11. I love that the new ghost is trying to be Ditto xD Intrigued to see if it can change its disguise for any Pokémon.
    Also: THAT TYPING! Immune to Normal, Fighting and Dragon?? Neutral Poison and Dark? Brilliant.

    Reply
  12. Not really feeling the care bear but I’m interested in what that pokemon really looks like under the pikachu disguise

    Reply
  13. Everyone’s hyped about/hating on the new Pokémon and I’m still finding myself wondering what the heck does Corocoro say about Rockruff in those bubbles.

    Reply
  14. I can see a running gag in the anime where the red panda Pokemon is captured by James and everytime it comes out of its PokeBall hugs James to death. Brings back memories of Cacturne and Carnavine.

    Reply
  15. That bears description is thehing of nightmares but hey its cute, and OMG FINALLY A GHOST/FAIRY!!! My two favourite types!!!! I really hope they both evolve too and become even more awesome

    Reply
  16. . . . I am at a loss for words right now. The ghost looks alright I guess, but the bear doesn’t transition from color to color well. It’s shape is awkward, and it looks very very poorly designed. The bear just isn’t pleasant to look at.

    Reply
  17. At first these looked weird but they grew on already XD i like the ghost/fairy one, looks like what wobuffet shouldve been, and OMG ITS A RED PANDA PKMN THATS AWESOME!!!!

    Reply
  18. They really are giving us some unique typings this time around. Plus the designs have been pretty great thus far(some may disagree lol) either way I think this gen is shaping up to be a very diverse group of Pokemon and it should be awesome lol

    Reply
  19. Never would’ve guessed that a red panda would be a fighting type. I hope it drops the normal type when it evolves. There are few times a normal dual typing are actually beneficial

    Reply
  20. Well, those designs are…interesting. They really have to grow on me. Those type combinations are unique, at least!

    Reply
  21. Changing topics a little, new anime news has been released and it seems Ash VS Alain will be two episodes long, the Malamar trio are returning or James’ Inkay is evolving, and Korrina might be returning. Additionally, the Team Flare arc will be concluding and seems to span more than 6 episodes back to back! #HYPE

    Reply
  22. I like the bear/panda. But then again, I like big, hairy stocky things in general. Also, Normal/Fighting is a first isnt it? Meloetta forme excluded?

    Reply
  23. its official Mimikkyu is already my new favourite pokemon, its just so cute and creepy at the same time, like a weird hey you pikachu glitch or something, but cute

    Reply
  24. I just noticed Mimikkyu as in either mimic you or mimic pikachu i also just noticed that the dots below the head are its eyes

    Reply
  25. Well! I dont hate the bear pokemon but I dont know, I just dont see myself using it. The good thing here is that pokemon is creating a lot of pokemon, hope they keep doing more. The one that looks like Pikachu, mmmm sounds good to me, wanna here how it turns like that, I mean, some pokemon ghost type were human that turned into a ghost

    Reply
  26. Well those are…something haha I want to see them in action, but interesting. Bear has to have some hawaiian lure behind it, and I wonder if the ghost fairy, amazing type btw, I wonder if it’ll have different looks

    Reply
    • Maybe but I think they’re just playing on the fact that everyone wants to hug a red panda so they made it a fighting type

      Reply
  27. What do you guys think Fluffy and Disguise do? Fluffy sounds like a defensive ability and disguise could be similar to Zoroark or Ditto.

    Reply
  28. The bear is like you chopped two gummy bears in half, and switched the heads. That’s what the color transition reminds me of.

    Reply
  29. Mimikkyu is easily my favorite design of this generation, and among my favorite Pokemon of all time. . . Ghost/Fairy is the typing I would hope Lunala would grt, but I’m even more glad it was given to this disturbing beast. I. Freaking. Love. IT!!!

    Reply
  30. I’m not trying to offend anyone who likes the bear, but as of now, this is literally my least favorite Pokemon ever in terms of design, beating the likes of wormadam and alomomola.

    Reply
  31. Till now, I’ve loved all the concepts for the pokemon, but none of the designs have really appealed to me (except perhaps vikavolt). Both of these pokemon have amazing concepts. I love subversive designs. The bear subverts the masculine-fighting type association by being a cutesy fighting type (Much like lopunny-mega subverted the male-fighting type association). The ghost pokemon also subverts the usual expectation of design by wearing a Pikachu-garb and its true design essentially being a mystery. For the bear, I really hope the evolution (if it has one) has a better design, yet retains the cute aesthetic. For the ghost, I expect the final evolution to unleash it’s true form (much like hoopa-unbound).

    Reply
    • I may be (I am) biased when it comes to Pokemon as I cannot bring myself to loathe any, but design wise, I feel as though Sun/Moon has brought a new level of creativity and thought towards Pokemon. The process of designing Pokemon has been evolving ever since the first generation and with each new generation, the designs have not only gotten better, but more creative. Generation 7 brings with it an odd blend with an odd pallete to boot of mixing the simplistic designs of Generation 1, 2, and 6 with the bright, exotic colors of Generation 3, the over-the-top aesthetic of Generation 4, to the abnormal and strange yet creative designs of Generation 5. I concur with your opinion as it is yours, but I’m simply sharing mine as well.

      Reply
      • yes, yes of course, your opinion is equally valid 🙂 but, I hold the same bias, so I can’t say i’ve DISLIKED any of them. I see the creativity in the conceptualisation (such as vikavolt charging itself with charjabug and then letting it go to become lighter, which is clearly reminiscent of a space shuttle; Tapu-koko and the chicken head meta-design; the new bear and ghost), my only problem, and i may be nitpicking here, is with the execution. I feel like a part of the pokemon aesthetic was lost in gen 4 > 5 transition, though paving the way for a new sensibility altogether, and then somewhat reverting in gen 6, and yet that missing piece seems to have been lost for me. Of course, when the game actually comes out, the uniquely specific sunmoon aesthetic will soon become normalised, and then my opinion will change, but merely for the pre-release period, i feel a little bit of scepticism is warranted (as was with mega evolution, which turned out just wonderful.) on that note, I’m genuinely paranoid now that it won’t return this gen as we have seen absolutely no footage of even old megas in-game. 🙁

  32. Ayyyyy my dreams are being more and more fulfilled. Ghost/Fairy type. Yasssss bring on the fairy combos. Bring on the Unique type combos

    • There was an idea written here where you can have the ability to change the cloth. I don’t remember who said it, but I thought it was a bloody brilliant idea!

      Reply
      • it would be cool if it had a bunch of different first stage sheets it could change into in this form and then when/if it evolves it takes on a simile appearance to the evolution of whatever sheet its wearing kinda like a wormadam thing, but cooler

        Reply
  33. Congratulations Gamefreak, I see a lot of sense of humor in these designs. I was missing more funny Pokemon, not only cute and fierce-looking ones.
    But I really hope that the Pikachu disguise is not the only one for Mimikkyu

    Reply
  34. These are just so freaking bad…..
    I fucking swear they better add a brand new Ground Type soon
    I’ve been patient with this entire thing for a long long time
    The botched Mega Garchomp, Camerupt and Mega Heracross
    And Diggersby is too frail to be any good
    Just everything is not getting any better
    And now these catastrophes are just putting me further and further for getting something I want

    Reply
    • Lol complaining like a little baby over something that will happen is not waiting patiently.
      Go take your whiny attitude to your pillow it’s the only thing that cares

      Reply
          • yeah I wanted that typing but this is not what I wanted in terms of pokemon, I wanted something beautiful and elegant, but you know what I love this anyways because I have an open mind

          • But regardless you still got the type combo
            But me I still am currently groundless and the first fighting type is a bust

          • Regardless you got pokemon news which you wanted. Regardless you got a pokemon game after a year of nothing which you wanted.
            See how flawed that logic is

          • I wanted a Ground type
            The sheer fact Corocoro is a potential ally in achieving this notion does not change my desires which now have been quashed

          • yeah but they will deff give us a fairy and i hope for your sake (and everyone else) that you love it

        • Shut up and stop whining, we are more than likely getting Mega Flygon after what happened in ORAS so please Just SHUT UP I am sick of you spamming. I’m sure ground types are on the way anyhow…

          Reply
          • ARE WE? ORAS FUCKING SHAT OUT LIKE LITERALLY ALL THE BEST IT HAD TO OFFER AND GAVE THEM MEGAS
            AND THE ONE THEY MEANT TO GIVE WAS DENIED
            SO WHAT ARE THE CHANCES IT WILL COME THEY ARENT FORCED TO MAKE IT JUST BECAUSE THEY DIDNT DO LAST GAME

            I AM SICK OF WAITING

    • ಥ‿ಥ L O L

      honestly I agree M garchomp is fugly with that weird jawline, but I don’t like its normal form that much to begin with so blah

      but camerupt is one of my fav ground types and its Mega is awesome, same with Heracross

      Don’t complain about diggersby being frail just because you don’t know how to use it properly, heck if I can win battles with a goddamn sunflora I’m sure you can figure out a diggersby…

      Calm thyself earthen

      Reply
      • They ruined Garchomp’s power by dropping its speed which totally ruins its potential
        Camerupt should’ve gotten drought and major defense so it doesn’t die in one hit or be too slow to be any use
        And Diggersby is frail and not fast enough to do enough but believe me slap a choice band and it slays

        And I will not calm down until I freaking get something I like

        Reply
    • Your new neighbors. Joking. A red panda that’s pink with a tiara and a menacing beast whose true form is too powerful and magestic for the likes of a mortal to see and so has taken caution to cover itself up in cloth.

  35. Well unlike everybody else i still really like these pokemon. Gen 7 yet to dosappoint me(except popplio)!!! Please bring 100+more amazing things!! And you will compete with hoenn for my favorite gen

    Reply
  36. LOLOLOLOLOL THEY SO FUNNY LOOKING I like them. The bear doesn’t really look like a Pokémon though, more like a bootleg cat eared tanooki costume. I like the ghost. Wish it was Ghost/ Normal instead of Ghost/Fairy. Hopefully there are more designs for it than just Pikachu because that would be freaky as hell to stumble across

    Reply
  37. I wanted a Ghost/Fairy, so I give them that.

    But seriously it’s like this thing skinned a Pikachu and is wearing it’s Skin..

    Some Texas Chainsaw Massacre shit right there…

  38. Why do so many people hate these Pokémon? There’s nothing wrong with them, at all. They’re new Pokémon, so if all you have is a problem with the designs they’ve been making, I guess you shouldn’t be on this website! 🙂 I personally love them, and can’t wait to add them to my them!

    Reply
      • Disliking is perfectly fine, not every Pokémon has to fit everyone’s taste. It’s just the people who purposely come on here and talk about how horrible this generation is. That’s not what this website is for.

        Reply
  39. I think the bear is the first bad design this gen. Bruxish is ugly, but I can at least appreciate it. This thing though? It just looks like a 4th graders fakemon. Its colors are really bizarre and it doesnt seem to have a mouth

    Reply
  40. i’m starting to like Mimikkyu a bit more now that i’ve looked at it but i still feel like shooting the bear lol

    Reply
  41. i still like this generation i like the region and all the other stuff it’s just the pokemon designs take some getting used to, well i’m off to a bad start in this chat goddamnit

    Reply
  42. I’m starting to like these designs a little bit more. That panda is ridiculous compared to Ursaring and Beartic, though. I have no complaints about the ghost, it’s almost like Wobbuffet and Wynaut. Hoping they have good English names and descriptions that will change my mind!

    Reply
  43. Well assuming these are all we get from CoroCoro this month I guess we continue to wait for proof of the rumors to come. For Sun and Moon we’ve been getting the more important info directly from Nintendo/TPCI so it wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t give the supposed info on the new mechanic to CoroCoro to release and just held onto it for the monthly website updates. I suppose we won’t know for sure until closer to the end of the week. lol

    Reply
  44. Calling it now, Mimikkyu’s future Mega Evolution would just be the ghost within it but clothless.. and more powerful, of course

    Reply
  45. The bear is the first Alola Pokemon I haven’t liked, but I fell in love with the ghost at first sight, so that makes up for it.

    Side note: Did one set of leaks mention a bear, or am I remembering incorrectly?

    Reply
    • Not sure…..I don’t think they did, but I could be wrong. I think the most telling thing we should be on the look out for is a trailer featuring the new mechanic. If that’s true then all the rumors we’ve seen could very well be true.

      Reply
  46. Seems like we have a pattern here. 4+ new Pokemon (or other important load of information) near the beginning of the month and 2 new Pokemon in CoroCoro. Maybe that won’t be true later on, but it definitely seems that way now.

    Reply
  47. The Ghost is starting to grow on me. It’s a nice concept, plus a cool typing. But that Bear is Absolutely Hideous. It’s worse than anything GF has made before. It looks like something straight out of a bad 80’s kids cartoon.

    Well this makes me sad because i hate pikachu so this guy wants me to hate him aswell #pikachuoverrated

    Reply
  49. I like the designs. I mean, ya, the ghost/fairy type looks like a half-assed children’s doodle of pikachu, but its description is quite noticeable. And the red panda pokemon kills you with LOVE or just strangles to death. Either or, i see no problem in these designs at all. All of the Alola designs, descriptions, typings, and abilities have been something to look forward to so Im excited!!

    Reply
  50. These new designs, like the poison/fire one, are demostrations of pure focused creativity; but the target of every pokemon (or group of pokemons) that has been made is different. It’s like the designers team is directing a bunch of very unique ideas and concepts onto a pokemon or group of pokemon in relation to new standarts of the consumer. This probably happened easily since gen 4 or 5, but I see it clearly in gen 7. The pink bear is an average “absurd/cute” creature, with that derp look that makes it meme material, and that probably is a mix of these “adorable” traits & brutal force with makes it comical. It’s been made for younger players with are more adapted to anime. The fire/poison one, on the other hand, is the opposite: a perfectly shaped, animal-esque creature with enough work and story put on it so it doesnt resemble a real life animal, not too complex to look like a digimon, elegantly and naturally colored. I would say it’s the kind of design that is made for old gen players.

    The fairy ghost is a marvelous concept. Some of the coolest pokemon made share the disguise theme, like ditto and zoroark. I’m hoping it gets a surprising evolution and competitive traits.

    Reply
  51. Is it possible that more is to come? I know that the last Corocoro reveal was only two, and the big reveals are saved for gameplay video releases, but isn’t three pages a bit small for a Pokemon reveal?

    Reply
  52. I really want time exclusive pokemon. Like Pokemon that exclusively come out at night and day. If we’ve had them in the last few games it wasn’t noticeable.

    Reply
  53. The bear reminds me of something I remember doing as a kid. Did anyone else bite off the heads of gummy bears and “splice” them together? This Pokemon’s pink head and black body are giving me that vibe and I can’t overlook that now.

    Reply
  54. Mimikkyu has 2 weaknesses, 1 resistance (which is 4x resisted), and 3 immunities. I’m not sure how to evaluate that….maybe once we know what Disguise does it’ll be easier to evaluate.

    Reply
  55. If the bear gets switcheroo, some klutz shenanigans could be fun because I bet money it’ll have offensive stats that are decent.

  56. We need a Pokémon based on Jason Momoa. That will hold me through until we get an Australian based region with a Hugh Jackman based Pokemon

  57. That voodoo doll thing has a great concept, the design though…
    Will it be able to disguise itself as many different pokemon,or only pikachu?

          • If what that one person showed the other day Poison and Steel are next and rockruff is not an Eevee it evolves

          • Yeah Rockruff evolves but so does Eevee. Rockruff runs off until it finishes evolution, which means it could pick what it evolves into. Its just a theory. Besides, I’d be more surprised even we even got a new Eeveelution this Gen.

          • Oh I thought you meant it was an Eeveelution my bad I had dream once that might have told the future it showed a Poison, Steel, and Ground Eeveelution on the official site near the trainers those were good looking Eeveelutions

  58. WAIT

    Mimikkyu is based on 20 year old Pikachu merch? BRUH GAME FREAK PUTTING THEM SLY HINTS TO THE 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY BRO

    Reply
  59. I like all these abilities dont get me wrong, but its so annoying when they have abilities for just one pokemon. Its understandable for legends. But i dont like it in other pokemon its just annoying. This doesnt take away from these pokemon i just thought that i would share how i felt on the topic

    Reply
    • I think these abilities will be applicable to more than just one Pokemon. Maybe past Gen Pokemon will receive some of these abilities as HA or other Alola region Pokemon will have similar abilities. They can’t possibly create 100+ new abilities exclusive to just one Pokemon.

      Reply
    • A pokemons special ability is what makes it valuable. If a bunch of different pokes could all learn the same amazing ability, it wouldn’t really be all that amazing now would it? This is suppose to be a competitive game at the end of the day, don’t forget.

  60. me: mimikkyu is just a blanket with ears such an ugly pokemon, 0/10, bye pikachu clone

  61. I just saw a post on Tumblr saying that the ghost’s English name should be Pikaboo, and I can’t agree more! Do you all have any other ideas of English names for these two?

  62. I’m so happy because just the other day, I was looking at fan drawn fakemon and came across an idea someone drew for a regional normal/electric rodent Pokemon called replichu which is a Pokemon disguised as pikachu and I was saying how great of a concept it is and now here I am and they’ve actually made this come true. If Mimichu evolves into something awesome, it’s definitely going on my team and could potentially be my new favorite ghost type of all time (sorry gengar). I’m so excited. Game freak is really knocking the ball out if the park this time around

    Reply
  63. I think the bear is ok, for right now at least.
    Mimikyuu, I think, is adorable and I love it! 😀 It just looks so spooky because it took over old Pikachu merchandise and I really want an evo where we see even a glimpse of its real form, I think it would be kind of cool <3 It's definitely a consideration for my team ^^

    Reply
  64. Kiteruguma seems neat! It’s a cute Pangoro! I love the cute, but powerful motif. Now, Mimikkyu is interesting. I wish it was Normal/Ghost tho. I love how it replicates the deaign of Pikachu, with a extra creepy hand. Overall, loving the simple designs!

  65. I think the new Ghost/Fairy type Pokemon English name will be Mashadow, if it is… Then the leaks about the final starter’s evolutions are true.

  66. I wonder what the height of these pokemon is going to be? The bear seems huge but I hope it’s only like 2 feet tall.

    Reply
  67. The bear is probably a standalone, so its base stats must be quite good already, and adding the good typing it has, this thing may actually be a good competitive pokemon, despite looking really (REALLY) bad.

  84. Sun & moon double pack in the US & Canada
    Now for Europe to get it please cause I’ll end up getting both eventually anyway

    Reply
    • Yeah….I gotta say I really want the steel case…..plus I was also thinking about getting both too……..I usually do. I just hope my Amazon Prime can still be active then so I can get it at launch. I’m still technically on my student account even though I just graduated so I guess I’ll have to see if the cost changes when it tries to re up. If I can squeeze at least one more year out of my student Prime account then I’ll be goo otherwise I’ll have to just get Moon from Best Buy and weigh my options at a later time…..lol

  85. ok i have a question for all you nay-sayers out there that give reasons as to why certain pokemon shouldn’t be fairies, but i have yet to hear why you think pokemon should? what to you makes a fairy type pokemon? (earthen i stg if you say something stupid… i want a legit answer)

    Reply
      • I have given my reasons here many times as to why certain pokemon should be fairy… and not once has it been because they are cute or pink… so…. (also fyi I’m not in the slightest saying that the bear should be fairy I’m just curious as to what you guys think makes a fairy a fairy)

        Reply
        • The Pokémon has to radiate magic to be a fairy imo, for starters. I’ve seen many people here saying a certain Pokemon should be fairy because of a certain trait in its design. Like, I’ve seen people saying Popplio should be Fairy, because it has a pink nose.

          Reply
          • while I do hope Popplio should become a fairy type, at its point in its design it doesn’t really show any signs of becoming one… perhaps once it reaches its second stage maybe, but I try not to say stupid things such as that, because well, what evidence is that

      • Because it’s pink and super cute… I’m kidding.
        As long as that one Pokemon is based on a fairy tale/mythical creature it’s okay, I guess.

        Reply
      • There’s a lot of different interpretations for fairies, and not just the pink and cute ones, like nature fairies and the dark, mischievous ones.
        I kind of want more of the latter ones, so people will stop associating Fairy type with cute/pink/good fairies.

        Reply
    • Well to me they need a Sprite like origin or nymph
      I try not to let too many mythical creatures dominate this
      Magic qualities
      Although I try not to let this dictate most decisions but some kind of “fairy” aura, but not like pink or cute or something similar

      Reply
    • @Galemcaedus:disqus

      To me, what makes a fairy pokemon, is a pokemon with several different traits and have a sense of whimsy, elegance, or even a trickster or mischievous nature, and I by no means see fairies as cute and cuddly in temperament, they often look one way on the outside but they are far from good irl.

      But I think you get my point, or should I go on?

      Reply
    • fairy pokemon should be based on lore. all those mythological stories. think the grimmes brothers. but if they lack that. i would be like oh pink/cute? fairy

      Reply
    • Not a naysayer (although I think they’re a bit OP and should’ve been weak to bug) but let’s look at the facts:
      -Clefairy: Fairy because it literally has “fairy” in the name. Other possible reasons: cute, pink, has little wings, possible moon connection.
      -Jigglypuff: Pink and cute
      -Mr. Mime: Pink
      -Azumarill: Cute rabbit
      -Snubbull: Pink
      -Whimsicott: Based on legend of little creatures that live in forests, also whimsical in the name
      -Aromatisse: Pink
      -Swirlix: Fairy floss, so the type fits the name like Clefairy
      -Cutiefly: Tiny and cute

      So in point: Some are fairy type because they’re based on fairy legend or because of name influences. Some are fairy because they’re pink or cute. Those are the facts, so read them and weep fairy deniers.

  86. I made an evolution for Mimikkyu. Here’s a Pokedex Entry. Here’s a Pokedex entry I made: In Mimikkyu’s desperate pursuit for love from anyone it could find, it tried to find a way to look even more like the beloved Pokémon it was trying to look like. In a reaction to a dusk stone and lack of friendship, it tried to morph into a Taichung while evolving, only to become a horrible monster with only a small cloth to hide it’s face. (Ok, I’ll admit, it’s more like a bio)

    Reply
    • It’s okay, some pokemon designs grow on you. Some pokemon have meh artwork but look cool when rendered in 3D, or have cool concepts but meh execution. I for one, love red pandas, so part of me like this guy, but also I think it could’ve been better. Mimikkyu is alright, I like the typing and concept, but it’s not really something that I have to have on my team. I’ll have to see what they evolve/don’t evolve into and their stat spread before I make any final decisions about whether or not I really like them.

      Reply
    • Es alright, initial reactions can be like that. I used to though Drampa was super weird, but it’s grown on me as well. That’s why I don’t take too much stock into my initial reaction until I see more

      Reply
      • Maybe it’s because it’s bipedal and looks sort of strange. Also the coloring/patterning is sort of bland, hence to why I think it must evolve again. I also kind of wonder why it’s so tall, that is a very distinct departure from the size of a Red Panda

        Reply
        • Simple designs man. Gamefreak can’t win. Its not the simple design for me or the colors scheme, although the pink is odd as fairy has kind of adopted that for the most part when it comes to normal types that were adapted to fairy. But oh well.

          Reply
          • Pink is definitely weird…Red Pandas are beloved for their scarlet fur. It’s a defining feature.

  87. Still around til leaks are confirmed, I’m curious from a design perspective how you would be able to draw those scribbly eyes on mimikkyu in the 3D or in the anime and make them look identical every frame.

    Reply
  88. I can’t wait to see the trailer for these guys on Friday. Should be interesting to see their 3D in-game models. You can only see so much from the Official Artwork and a low quality scan. And besides, I’d love for them to show Mimikkyu to appear in the cemetery with the Japanese town and lighthouse on the smaller island connecting to the Volcano island. I have a feeling it will appear there. I have to admit that it took a while, but I’m accepting Kiteruguma and Mimikkyu as part of the Alola family. We have 21 new ones introduced, bringing the grand total of known species to 742!

    Reply
  89. Well at least Kiteruguma is a more acceptable Red Panda than that drunken bear Spinda. Although I will admit its in game movements are cute

    Reply
  90. While the official artwork is meh, I do think Kiteruguma is pretty adorable when hugging that tree to death. It’s got that steadfast and dopey look on its face. All it wants to do is hug something and not have it be crushed. Kinda like Jigglypuff almost, except with singing.

  94. Sorry for posting so much but does anyone know where the name Kiteraguma comes from? Idk how much is lost in translation but I see “Kit” which is used to describe young baby animals (which could point to it not being fully evolved, although baby red pandas are called cubs, not kits, which is interesting) and guma, perhaps referring to gummy bears or just that guma means bear in Japanese..

    Reply
    • I know, from taking Japanese, that the first part is definitely ‘to be wearing (something above the waist, like a shirt)’ like you use it for ‘that person is wearing/wears a red shirt’ although I dunno what the last part could be (although the gummy or gum part might be a possibility)

  103. It’s very peculiar that they chose to show those Pokemon days before the release of CoroCoro. They likely wanted to reference those reveals beforehand so fans would be surprised, but it didn’t quite work out that way. Since they’ve been shown so early compared to Rockruff and Komala, I think it’s safe to assume that we’ll get English names on Thursday. I could be wrong, though!

      Reply
    • Hey, if the associated rumour that you are creating a pokémon league is true, maybe you go around finding and fighting strong trainers to recruit them as gym leaders?… Now messing with the basics is the sort of idea that would usually turn me off too but if gamefreak aren’t lazy and go all out with the idea, I genuinely think this might turn out to be an exciting and worthwhile direction to take. As much as we cherish those essential elements, it’s not unfair to say pokémon can seem a little creatively stale in some respects. If they do something different but manage to bring us back to usual business in the end, I’m all for it, as long as it’s good. They just need to put a little more effort (or a little more smart creative focus) than they did into XY, which seems to be happening, judging by everything shown so far.

  110. I have one big fear. I hope there’s not a lot of riding Pokemon Routes and that the Routes ACTUALLY HAVE TRAINERS instead of those lame ass Sky Trainers. If there is more Riding Pokemon Routes and they’re like X and Y they’ll compromise the game. Unless riding Pokemon is optional. Which it looks like in the Tauros part. As I can see a couple of bystanders. Maybe you slow down to talk and battle?

    Reply
  111. – You can ride a multitude of different Pokemon: Lapras, Sharpedo, Stoutland, and Tauros confirmed thus far
    – Character Customization seems to now have more options
    – Pokemon Synchro is nothing compared to Mega-Evolution and enables a stronger attack akin to Burst Mode
    – Pokemon Amie is back with more options
    – Eevee has 8 evolutions, so no new Eevee evolution
    – Riding boat to get to different islands
    – The first trailer shows the character moving to Alola, this second one shows him revisiting his old home… coincidence?

Perhaps they ultimately can do something like ash greninja, although I’d rather that crud stay in the anime… The scene right before the fireworks made me think about this because we didn’t see a symbol like this appear when they used a bond move without a diamond with the first form starters:

  121. So there’s a Trainer Card/Case in-game. Yet the Chinese leaker says no Gyms or League. Maybe you really do create your own Alola League. Find Gym Leaders on the Island and ask them to come back to their Gyms. Sorta like a Volkner-wide depression of Leaders believing the Trainers in Alola are too weak, much like how Volkner ended up losing interest in battling.

The closest ones are X and Y which have yet to cross the 15 million threshold and then Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire which will be crossing 14 million soon (hopefully). Could they rival the first gen and 2nd gen games? Cross 20 million, 25 million, 30 MILLION?! Just food for thought. And once again, headlines will pour in about how Pokemon is saving the Nintendo 3DS which it already did with XY and ORAS, but are nonetheless a testament to Pokemon’s CONTINUED growth after 20 amazing years!

I just can’t see them not having the Trainer Card without the Badges just would render it kinda useless otherwise, as the information on playtime and such is on the save screen and other menus. While it doesn’t mean traditional Gyms, it means we’ll get Gyms of some kind I hope.

  134. I think I’ve figured out how the menu works. Basically, the Rotom PokeDex is on the Bottom Screen at all times. When the X Button is pressed, the actual menu appears. There is an arrow on the upper right, which is how you get to PSS and Super Training.
    Additionally, I believe the gems on the Trainer’s Bracelet will work like this: So, the trainer will be collecting various gems through the game. Each gem will corrispond to a certain type of Pokemon. For example, a red gem will power Fire-Type Pokemon. The trainers bracelet could hold various gems. I think a Pokemon that could Mega Evolve will evolve from the power of he respective gem and Pokemon that cannot will use the Special Moves. You could either Mega Evolve or use a Super Move on a Pokemon. I just wonder how GameFreak will balance the feature.

  135. So there are multiple crystal and they are used for the super moves. And Amie is back. And we ride Lapras and Sharpedo could HMs finally be gone? Would be nice. This makes synchro less likely to exist thankfully and seems to remove god awful megas. Only problem is while this isn’t exactly what was predicted this is pretty close and I really don’t want that though I expected it sadly.

          • I think Sylveon was just a gimmick used to sell the Fairy-typing and ease us into it. I’d say cross-gen evolutions really ended in Sinnoh.

        • The dream world isn’t in the same vein as Mega Evolutions. It didn’t impact the game in any way, I’ve never even used it. I see Mega Evolutions in the same vein as the Steel, Dark and Fairy types and as we all know, those types aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

          • They’re the same in a sense that they impact the game in a huge way and they’ve been added for a reason, to shake up the Pokemon formula and besides, they wouldn’t make 2 (4 if you include the other versions) entire games heavily revolve around Mega evolutions if they were just to remove it the very next generation after.

  136. Here are my thoughts. There’s 8, 9 or 10 slots on the Synchro Bracelet. I believe that there will be a jewel for each type. The strategy will be choosing which jewels to use, depending on your choice of team. I imagine that if you can only use 3 or so per battle, the strategy will be enhanced even more. Sounds a lot like Megas, which would make sense because it would theoretically replace that mechanic.

  137. I think my favorite aspect of these games is the rainbows. The rainbow “Registered” that shows up in the Pokedex, the rainbow on Kukui’s hat, the shirt with the Pikachu surfing on a rainbow, and hopefully many more. :p

  139. I wanna see Cross-Gen Evolutions make a comeback. like i understand megas are the new thing but Cross-Gen was always so cool to see since one of your favorite pokemon could get stronger (permanently) and get sick design too. Like I would love to see some lesser pokemon get Cross-Gen then a mega. Megas can’t fix them all since some got some low Base Stats
