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
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokémon GO!
I wonder what Mimikkyu evolves into?
I kind of think it will be single stage.
I don’t even know. I kinda see it evolving but kinda don’t. It might be like Klefki.
I think you’re right, but I’m hoping it’ll get a evolutionary stage. Ghost/Fairy deserves the spotlight
Maybe Mimikkyu evolves into Something Beautiful. 😀
You saying it isn’t already beautiful?
It is gorgeous
ok or maybe Something Cool. 🙂
Again you saying it isn’t already cool? This thing is amazing haha
well have no idea what Mimikkyu evolves into.
Who knows.
Wow, you actually like something. I’m happy about that! 😀
Dude. I like a lot of these mons.
Oh dang that Ghost/Fairy is actually freaking amazing. Screw Cutiefly, I need this thing!
The red panda is just.. Eeeehhhhhhhhh
I need both. I will build a Fairy-only team and name all of them Earthen
I approve this!
EDIT: You should name the best one Ian.
And you people wonder why I hate everything and everyone
d°<°b
Then why are you here if you hate everyone
I fucking love Pokemon that’s why
Well there are other sites. Not trying to say you should leave but I’m just kinda wondering why you come here
If you hate everything, does that mean you hate yourself?
(+5 brownie points if you get the reference)
I do hate myself
… oh
…
well.. dont!
Well I do
My body sucks
My job sucks
My family is falling apart
And now the latest Corocoro is a freaking dud
No possible hope
I’m not goona act like a therapist or anything, but try to find positives! Life is happier when you dont focus on the sad stuff
Feh life is happier when you hurt everyone around you until they’re as miserable as the guy who did it to them
I have to agree with this. I’m not a bitter person or anything, but I generally hate other people as well.
I have never accidentally stumbled upon a more beautiful thing than this idea
Screw Cutiefly?!! WHEN LORD CUTIEFLY HEARS OF THIS HE WILL… HE- HE WILL SLATHER YOU UP IN HONEY AND FEED YOU TO THE FOREST POKEMON!
Lol
Dat honey gather ability lol
looks like we got ourselves a cute War!
It’s nice to see some people who like the Ghost.
Screw Cutiefly? I guess you have no heart for the cutest Pokemon in the history of time?
The fuck did you say mate
Mimikkyu. Is. Better. Than. Cutiefly.
No
I mean, hey. I love Cutiefly, but I just love Mimikkyu way more
You should be jail sentenced for this. Criminal af
Bug>ghost
Maybe in match up but not in coolness
But we have the sun queen over at the bug kingdom.
Maybe Mimikkyu is the moon queen at the ghost kingdom?
No the moon queen must be a Luna moth D:<
Ewww….what the hell are these things
Your future teammates 😉
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.
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
Same as you but I like Popplio as well!
At this point I’m starting to think the “all Alola Pokemon are good” people are faking with so many controversial Pokemon. XD
First time I don’t like Pokemon designs to be honest.
i think they will grow on me eventually it’s just going to take longer than previous generations
When were Braixen, Quilladin, and Frogadier revealed?
I think a month or two before release
In September 2013. Pretty much one month before XY.
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
Honestly thats my only problem too.the ghost just doesnt seem like a fairy type in the slightest.
Does it need to be pink-cute-ish to ve fairy type? Hahah
No because look at tapukoko but this just doesnt even seem like it would have any fairy type moves. Maybe like covet but instead of taking your item it takes your soul.
No, but it reminds me of the Pajama-Bedsheet ghost/Normal fakemon I made a couple of years ago. 🙁
idk seems pretty much like a fairy to me, irl fairies are like extremely evil unintentionally usually, but still, it captures the cute/trickster/evil that is a ghost/fairy imo
Its wearing a cloth, so we dont know (yet) what it really looks like. And besides, Granbull is a Fairy?
It might be inspired by a Cu Sith
And not for nothing even in Gen 2 it was classified as the Fairy Pokemon
My point was , that fairies dont necessarily have to look cute or pink lol.
Snubbull is technically pink but I still hate all fairies under the sun and moon
Except the Pink Armadillo Ground/Fairy, if it ever becomes reality 😉
I’d still hate it
It would join the ranks of other ground types I never liked or are useless
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…
You never know with Pokémon lores. Phantump is a child who died in the forest. This one might be even more brutal! 😀
Also what’s in the little bubble about Rockruff?
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!
I wouldn’t say hate.
Everyone has the right to dislike Pokemon designs. These just don’t really appeal to me.
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.
It’s a freaking derp bear and a ragged sheet
i hate them for now but i will like them eventually i just have to look at them a few more times
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
Bruxish is worse
The white fur on its head lacks depth and the color transitions look off.
Just wait for the gameplay. Everything looks much more polished in the trailers imo. Those little scenes can add so much more to a Pokémon design. The personality they get with the attack animations play a very big part for me at least.
Yeah, I’m hoping it will be better there. Maybe the designer just had an off-day when drawing him.
The other thing is that these leaks and screenshots don’t even give back all the details and colors. I find Komala’s color much better than it was in Corocoro last month. These details certainly matter.
I bet it evolves from cuddly to deadly. There’s no way it’s a standalone pokemon.
Feels like a Pancham/Teddiursa/Cubchoo kind of Pokémon to me
Komala also feels like a Pancham kind of Pokémon to me
Teddiursa ?
Better than rip off pikaclone.
Mimikkyu is just an Espurr in disguise…OPEN YOUR EARS!
LONK! OPEN YOUR EYES!
Oh my gosh, I would love that
So it seems Braixen, Quilladin, and Frogadier were announced the first week of September.
I can’t wait until then!
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
I just hope these things evolve. I might use the ghost pikaclone
It’s not a pika clone
It’s just markings that look like one
Who knows they might let you doodle your own looks
If that’s the case, then I guess we can’t use it on Wifi lol
nah there would be too many with obscene things
I mean it looks like a pikachu.. But ghostly… Ghost pikachu clone to me
Well looks ARENT EVERYTHING
IT JUST HAS A POINTED TOP AND SOME SCRIBBLES DOES IT MAKE IT AN ELECTRIC RODENT
Lol chill im just calling ghost pikaclone until we get an english name. So you better get used to it
They’re not even its real eyes
Those two slits are
I want to draw a cute little face on it with a big smile then destroy the entire other team with it. Cant get mad at a happy ghost man
I would draw an anus
That’s the spirit!
Don’t be so butthurt just because they didn’t reveal a Ground type.
I AM BUTTHURT
I’m so fucking sick of watching everyone get what they like
The bug/electric vivavolt, the plethora of Fairies and the stinking Tapu Koko
While I greatly dislike everything outside Rockruff
How’d you feel if everything was what you hate
Again, mostly your own fault
T_T
If you dont get alot of pokemon you like, just transfer ones you do like from XY/ORAS.
Because I need new and unseen things
I only use new Pokemon from the new region
Then maybe use a pokemon you haven’t used before from other gens? If you genuinely dont like the new ones, there is no shame in transferring old ones
There is shame, the whole point of a new game is to use new things
And if they already existed then they aren’t new
This isn’t gen 5. They have old pokemon in there too.
Don’t remind me
I loved gen 5 since it forced everyone to use new stuff
Well, I would probably try to love or at least like the stuff they’re throwing at me. I don’t really understand your obsession with Ground types and hate towards everything different but you could at least try to accept these things instead of hating them just because you didn’t get your Ground type.
If I don’t like it I will never do so
And accepting them is accepting defeat
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. What the heck are you talking about? You’re not fighting anyone… There’s no such thing as defeat in liking something.
The fact that we have a low amount of fairies, I was prepared for the amount we’re getting. We have lots of ground and fighting already. There’s still a few months left – chill.
i won’t chill how could I possibly chill at this point
It is a children’s video game! Do I have an Fairy/Fighting or Electric/Fighting? No, but I’m not going be angry. Maybe it’s just me [and others], but I don’t get jealous very easily..
Ground/Dark?
Mine’s Fire because I just had taco’s
Is eruption in your love pool?
Move
Yeah and then my toilet uses Whirlpool
These typings are really good tbh
The ghost is only weak to Ghost and steel
Aegislash loves this thing
Aegislash is bae
The bear should evolve into a Tim Hooper-Nick Frost hybrid thing.
What is?
Google Tim Hooper and Nick Frost. Thats what bears should look like
Too grandpa for me
Oh dang imagine if Mimikkyu’s evolution is like No Face. It becomes this huge black ghostly beast with a pikachu mask
Or it evolves into a fake raichu
Mega Raichu Electric/Fairy is what I want
Or just a dedenne evo with that typing since it already looks like raichu
http://www.relatably.com/m/img/memes-angry-face/rage-face.jpg
Sorry mate, but Pikachu’s egg group is Fairies
not everything is about you earthen let people dream!
I also want a electric/fairy mega ʘ‿ʘ
Off topic, how do you do those emojis? Lol
oh I have them all saved into a little note in my computer so I can readily use them when the chance arises XD. this one is my fav -> (╹◡╹)凸
Haha I love them
It just has NO EFFING REASON TO BE A FAIRY
Electric mouse…find a real one? Jk I’m pushing it nowhaha
I’m sick of this man. Just leave your computer for a couple of hours and come back when you’re calm. This is getting on everyone’s nerves. We get it: you don’t like this gen.
I don’t even have a computer, it died and now I have to shell out for a whole new one
I am just not happy, I was hoping for something good but like always it just fails
Hey just ignore him. He is living a toxic lifestyle if he wants everyone negative like him. So talking to him will make it worse. Your a mod now and you just gotta know when to let things go and ignore. Cant change the mind of a wall
What would you suggest for Mega Raichu then? Just pure Electric?
Yes just pure electric
Wobbuffet pre evo!
Edit: naaaaah haha
Wynaut?
Forgot about that hahaha thanks
I get sort of a wobbuffet feel too though
Maybe that was the inspiration?
Hm maybe!
Wynaut is Wobbuffet pre evo xD
I know I forgot and @Ultron informed me. Thanks though!
Make it happen GF!
cant wait to see them in action! (and if the designs look bad for you maybe some gameplay will change your judgement)
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
OMG, what’s up with this mouthless bear? Is Gamefreak joining the same ritual that created Hello Kitty?
All shall love it and despair
I want that bear. Naming it Free Hugs <3
That name making him more dangerous.
This is not the red panda pokemon I wanted. But it still looks like a badass
Hopefully we’ll get a good shiny variation
Same…just hope the evo is better
Wow, you’re like the 2nd person (besides Auragar) I’ve seen who genuinely likes the panda.
Bears not very creative, pika ghost isnt bad. Then again lets see how they look ingame, thats if theyre real.
They are real.
I hope it looks better in 3d
Why would you assume that they were fake…..? When real scans of CoroCoro surface they are typically pretty noticeable. Fake scans are usually very obvious. These are real for sure
Fake ones have been presented as real before. I do believe these though.
yeah i reacted too fast (like usual) and said i hated them but i haven’t even seen them ingame yet
I bear that hugs isn’t original but a fish with human lips is?
I meant the bear looks very simple
Could a horde of Mimikkyu (or its evolution) be the horde of faceless men back in XY?
I think those were dead people
Oooh good idea!
I think that guy was just screwing around honestly. It is kinda weird why he even exists though
Well other than the pokemon themselves
Any idea how their new abilities Fluffy and Disguise will work?
Maybe Disguise will be a double battle ability where it changes its name, gender and HP to match the other pokemon out
Maybe, since now we can see which moves are effective or not in the battle interface, ‘Disguise’ keeps this information secret, or even shows random data…
That would be cool!
Fluffy might be fucking fur coat ripoff but blocking special attacks
And I assume disquise will temporarily change type
