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

  3. The Tauros scene definitely occurs on the first island [refresh]
    Bridge? Check. Two paths after the bridge? Check. Some oblong structure in between the two paths and grass on the right? Check.

  4. Considering the hype and incredibly social media and awareness driven marketing campaign, could Sun/Moon turn things around for the 3DS which has yet to produce an uber-blockbuster hit? 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 think that all the popularity pokemon go got will help boost pokemon sun and moon’s sales along with 3ds and 2ds sales

      • This Pokemon Go madness and craze must be how it was back in the 90s when Pokemon was at its peak (even if its just a fraction). BEAUTY CHANNELS AND POLITICAL PAPERS ARE WALKING AROUND CATCHING POKEMON! DEMI LOVATO ALMOST DELAYED HER CONCERT JUST TO CATCH A POKEMON!

      • But not the success Nintendo was hoping for. Before XY, no other 3DS titles passed the 10 million mark and along with ORAS, they make up a bulk of the games sales with combined sales almost nearing a staggering 30 million! That’s more than the rest of the Top 8-10 combined.

  5. So much excitement. The Trianer Card just sparked new excitement for me. And hope for a better future. 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.

  6. Omg.. I Swear you guys.. I see groups of people up to 30’s who seem Cool of all colors.. like popular doing Pokemon Go together. I’m too shy … . But they make it an Event! I’m So Shocked Everyone wants to do it.. even my sister wants to on the east coast. I’m not it’s biggest fan somehow lol.

  7. So we know the diamonds have something to do with the starters and a special move. They’re able to do it in their first form so I doubt they will involve fusion. Phew! Also, I think the boat you ride with hau is how you get to the other islands! Yay no more crazy amounts of surfing! Hopefully!

  8. I can honestly see James getting the bear… just because it says it hugs it trainer and crushes them it fits the the old running gag that James’s pokemon wanted to eat him or hurt him

  9. I don’t know if you noticed, but Pokemon games of all generations are selling like crazy right now. I knew I should have bought those GBA games earlier, because now the price has increased by almost 2 times. Hopefully the GO hype will level out by November, because I really wanted to complete my mainline collection before then 🙁

  10. Goodnight Junglers! Ima go watch some Food Wars, ReWrite, keep crying over 7 Deadly Sins season 2 wait, and watch some more anime! WHY?! BECAUSE IT’S SUMMER! Okay, forreal, bye guys!

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

    Reply
      • I dunno how it can be worked in with them having these super move bracelets. Megas are shit and deserve to die. At least give me that if the shitty rumor is real.

          • also if u think about old evolutions of pokemon seem to been removed too. cant count eevee because its kinda its thing to get a new one every once in awhile

          • 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.

          Reply
          • 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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

    • Wasnt the codename for the names pokemon niji(rainbow in japanese) or something like that? Also hawaii is the rainbow state i believe so i can see why the references to raibows!

  15. So with these special saddles…do you think we’ll see them for flying pokemon and soaring? 😉

    Also I want to ride Milotic with a beautiful rainbow saddle
