After today’s Japanese release of Pokémon the Movie XY&Z: Volcanion & the Ingenious Magearna viewers were given a brief glimpse at what they’d see next:
While we didn’t get much information on the movie itself, we did get some interesting bits. Above Pikachu, we see what appears to be quick flashes of each of the Generation’s starters, ending with Sun & Moon starters Rowlet, Litten and Popplio. After our Gen 7 starters say hello, Pikachu decides they’ve had enough screen time and reminds us that this is in fact the twentieth movie.
More is sure to follow this fairly cryptic announcement, but for now, what did we get from this? Are the starters the central focus of the next movie, or were they just decoys to divert our attention? Let us know what you think in the comments, and we’ll let you know when there’s more movie info!
’til next time,

Question why is every YouTube video I try to watch an error occurs every time?
Edit:Never Mind
Can you guys imagine the anime episode with Mimikkyu in it? Team Rocket thinks that they’ve finally captured Pikachu (actually a Mimikkyu) and Mimikkyu, wanting to be loved, happily comes along with Team Rocket. When Team Rocket finally realizes that it’s actually a Mimikkyu, they try to get rid of it, saddening it. Team Rocket then gets into some trouble and Mimikkyu saves them, eventually causing Mimikkyu to be a part of Team Rocket.
I am soooo excited to use a Mimikkyu in S/M, I need that thing like right now
Did u believe me if I tell u I was thinking about same scenario?
Or them angering mimikkyu by casting it out creates a conflict with mimikkyu’s wrath being the danger.
Replace Wobbuffet with Mimikkyu.
New Team Rocket:
Jessie & Bruxish, James & Salandit, Mimikkyu, Meowth
holy hell. I got out of work and some crazy woman was having a fit after being escorted by security out of the ER. she was mad they wouldn’t let her catch a squirtle in pokemon GO, they told her to leave after she pushed open the automatic doors and disturbed the patient in bay 8. goodness this is so out of hand.
Good lord, it’s just a friggin digital turtle, it’s not worth causing a ruckus in a hospital.
i hope they took her down to the psychiatric ward lol
So far in Pokemon, we’ve had a legendary trio based on weather, creation, yin-yang, and natural order. If you were asked to create a new legendary trio by GameFreak, what would you base them on? Personally, I’d base a trio on the gnostic idea of the Demiurge, Monad, and Sophia.
past, future, and present. I think that would be a really cool concept.
I would like four based on the seasons. Not a trio but still. Also, I would love some based on truth and lies. Not sure the third one would be or how any would be designed but… Maybe the lies one gets zoroarks ability and the truth one knows frisk?
I quite like the truth and lies idea, perhaps an angelic, pure look for truth, a demonic, evil look for lies and for the third, how about judgement? Combining aspects of both, the neutral Pokemon.
Pixels, 3D models and… Holograms? 😉
Satan himself!
…. lol jk but maybe some greek references Like a greek god trio Poseidon, Athena and Zeus would be cool
Athena – Fighting
Zeus- Electric
Poseidon- Water
or even a Siren trio would be cool, with the typings water/flying, grass/flying and Psychic/Flying(the leader) Psychic because of their songs powers, flying because they were said to be half bird half woman, water because they were often seen by water in roman tales, and grass because they are seen as meadow dwellers in greek tales
why not zeus, poseidon, hades?
Hades could also work very well, and perhaps better, but idk I didn’t want to be predictable so I like Athena better, plus Poseidon and Athena have a pretty interesting story together
Democracy and Anarchy. With the third representing revolution
anyone with a wii u play smash? I have no friends haha
did everyone leave? is there a new article or something?
I’m alive. Although probably about to leave since I’m dead tired lol
so solgaleo is based on alchemy, that much we know. but what is lunala based on? for the past 5 generations, the mascot legends have had inspiration from various religion (with the exception of diamond and pearl, where they were the result of a myth based on religion) so what could lunala be referencing? or maybe solgaleo has religious roots as well?
There’s apparently powers in alchemy, Energy of Matter and Energy of Life. The former represents all that is physical, while the latter represents all that is spiritual. They are also represented by “celestial salt” and “celestial nitre” , aka Solar Fire(represents light and material) and Lunar Water(represents darkness and spirit). You can read this (long) reddit post for a larger explanation:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/4qynqm/tapu_kokos_connection_to_solgaleo_lunala_and_azoth/
This post is also interesting:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/4mst8n/all_this_alchemical_thing_about_the/
I’m loving the alchemic theme for Gen 6 and 7 a lot to be honest.
maybe in the next issue of CoroCoro maybe we’ll see some New prehistoric Pokemon,maybe like a Rock/Ground and a Rock/Fire.
I’m hoping for Rock/Fighting and Rock/Fire
I want rock/poison and rock/electric
+1 for rock/electric, cool new type combination, and you could do a lot with it
Sounds like the sort of thing we should have got in Chargestone cave. 😛
A Rock/Fire Velociraptor is my vote
I thought more indepty on how the bracelets will work in Pokemon Sun/Moon. I believe that it will serve to power Special Moves (obviously) and allow Mega Evolution. To start, I do not believe that there will be multiple gems corresponding to each type. I think the singular yellow and blue gem (seen on the Japanese logo and the male and female trainer) will control the Special Moves for each type. Additionally, I think the aura will differ depending on the gem from either version. There will be 18 dances for each type of Pokemon. Thus, the special dance will power that specific type of move. Moving on to Mega Evolution, there is a circular hole in the middle of the lower portion of the bracelet. I believe this will house the Key Stone as SirDrake721 pointed out previously. From the past rumors, to balance these Special Moves and Mega Evolution, both will be tethered to a guage that fills up after every attack or turn. Once you’ve used a move or Mega Evolved; the bar will cease from increasing for the rest of the match to balance the mechanics. This will allow for strategy to either Mega Evolve or use a powerful attack. I think the biggest mystery is if the concept will be restricted to certain Pokemon or open to all types of Pokemon. CoroCoro did state that Rowlet, Litten, Poppilo, and Rockruff shared a secret; for now, I’m guessing that this might be the special secret they hold. Lastly, I think GameFreak did not place the gems and Key Stone because the game is still in development or they simply want fans to ponder! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4f643e5e977993bd409cdf58d528dfc542569728fa6efbe8ee4bb8d410db4a08.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9a7ff29df80806843ebf3eb40cdf3d2b2a82c621784ab96fe1442758b507cd63.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/11a7698c2964511a59d669f86f5fb37182faac338ab7fe3a59a25ce7bec18c75.jpg
But what about the red gem they showed and the gems that are put in other holes? But I still think this theory is very true and well thought out good work!
I’m not sure I get why you think they’d have 18 different poses, but wouldn’t have 18 different gems…..Wouldn’t it be more of a waste of time to code 18 poses instead of just 18 gems? I feel like that many poses would be too busy of a thing and having to collect the gems makes more sense. Also like Aqua Flygon said in the trailer the gems have different colors when they appear in front of the Pokemon so it appears as if there are different gems. Maybe not 18, but there are at least a few., Your theory other than that isn’t bad tho! lol
Coding eighteen different dances wouldn’t be difficult for an experienced team of GameFreak. The gem that appears just indicates the type. From the artwork and logos; I believe it’s just two gems depending on the version. Also, thanks it took me a while to think everything out thoroughly! :]
I just had a thought
Since technically I now use a Fire Mono team….that means Salandrit is available
And maybe finally be rid of those stupid Mega Venusaurs
You can’t use Salandit. I’m using it.
Drat, well I call ultimate reserves on the the statistically strongest ground type
You can have the Ghost/Fairy Pikachu thing.
I’ll use its cloth for toilet paper

Mimikyuu icon, feel free to use! I’ll be making a kiteruguma one later
Looking at this yields a strange urge to play Kirby and the Crystal Shards
Oh?
It’s the marker scribbles that remind me of the Artist girl and Ripple Star
Haha, Ah, I love that game, Adelaide was one of my favourite characters. 🙂
game explain was doing a live stream of it yesterday
But how can we use it if you’re using it :/
Haha, good point, hadn’t considered that!
But it’s good. You should do commissions on Tumblr. You’ll get a lot of followers
I’ve considered it, I think I need to get stuff a bit more in order before I start taking money for my art
Oh well by commission I meant an artwork for a follow, but okay lol
Eh, that seems a little sellout-ish. I’ve got a decent number of followers anyway
Pokemon Go
As soon as I leave my house: Freezes/crashes, servers are overloaded.
As soon as I enter my home again: Works perfectly.
I usually walk a lot but none of it counts cos the app is always dead when I’m out and about.
Maybe your phone still thinks you should be on your home’s wifi? So when you walk out, it loses connection and can’t recover to reconnect to your mobile internet.
Maybe. Should I switch my Wi-Fi off before leaving the house?
Yeah, WiFi off is what I do all the time and no problems there,except during peak hours (aka lunch time frame). Invest in a power bank only if your battery isn’t digging the drainage from GO.
Yeh I dunni. It’s just been screwing me around last couple of days.
I have a 26800 mAh power bank and my phone’s (nexus 6p) battery is no slouch either so that’s not the problem.
Ah well , guess the servers are just not great at the moment
:/ sorry it was doing it a bit yesterday for me and Friday (it froze on the item screen for a ??? Venomoth)
Just happened again. Left my house. The entire journey the app was out, as soon as I got to my destination, working fine.
Was on my mobile network the whole time this time.
Ah, internet is bad while moving I guess? Only thing I can guess but otherwise I don’t know.
Also there seems to be a reddit report that GO is down right now (everyone)?
A summary of this movie is now on Serebii, for all those interested.
thx chippy
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHUEEEEGHHHHHHHH
I AM SO BORED
I’ve been sweet scenting for over 2 hours and only found 2 Miltank and nary a Sap Sipper
Hell I even found a shiny Mareep faster then the fat cow
Hahaha, I found a Shiny Wingull while finding your Miltank!
I’m getting extremely annoyed
I could’ve finished breeding the rest of my NU team in the time spent hunting
Just to have this team desolated by the broken op shit that everyone uses
So what Pokemon types have yet to be revealed in sun and moon? Dark, ground, and ice? A grass besides rowlet? Please Coro Coro, give me my precious ice types!
We have 0 Ground, Ice, and Dark. And we have 1 Grass, Poison, Rock, Dragon, and Fighting.
Ice needs a buff so bad! Make it SE against fairy! More ice and ghost are always welcome in my book!
Fire should beat fairy
Ice just is meant to be frail, no logical buff could ever be applied
I feel like fighting shouldn’t necessarily be good against it. Ice can be extremely hard and although I’ve never done it myself I can imagine punching a block of ice would hurt incredibly bad ( would probably break your hand). Ice that is thick enough can put up a pretty good fight as far as breaking it goes lol
I punch ice all the time and you don’t hear me griping
And don’t forget we have massive knuckle dragging fisted monsters that regularly break the rules of normality
That seems like a pretty flawed argument……Why may I ask do you punch ice all the time? hahaha
Because I’m deranged
Lol. Ice should honestly have more resistances. Bug, grass, etc. it should have something against water considering its just frozen water. Ice is tough and winter is a harsh season so the type should reflect that. Sure ice irl can be fragile and brittle but it also destroys.
Bug is fickle but don’t forget bugz are tough SOBs and though grass is preyed upon by the cold, vine whips and wood hammers could shatter sheets of ice
And the whole water thing, a large body of water wouldn’t freeze instantaneously and water as a state ice can easy melt it away
Bug got a huge buff in gen 5 and while I done see it happening to ice in a region based on Hawaii, it really is the only type that stands out as the weakest of them all. Each type had its strengths and weaknesses (literally) but also each is unique in how you can use them competitively (like with steel being very defensive generally) so ice could have something to set it apart besides its effectiveness against dragons that fairy stole from it
When did it get a buff?
I only remember in gen 2
But like I said Ice is just systematically bad
Bug just got a lot of good Pokemon in gen 5 like volcarona and galvantula and such. Before that there were very few good bug types. It wasnt a new type effectiveness or resistance given to it but it was given some nice members to its party.
Ok ok fair enough hahaha
Ahhhh servers are down again. It really sucks cause I travelled home to London today & I was excited at catching loads of Pokmon in-between my train and tube but alas, I couldn’t. I don’t know whether its just a massive influx of people downloading it or those hackers who apparently did it before. Just gotta be patient, I mean at least I have the app unlike some countries
Skittisbody, welcome.
You so cute. Noticing that 🙂
<3
you too coddd 🙂
I miss you :'( </3
Just spent half an hour trying to beat a gym. Every time I got down to the last pokemon, at 1hp, and it wouldn’t let me beat it. Probably the most disruptive glitch I’ve seen.
I hate this glitch more than anything. My family and I went to the park for an hour, and I spent the whole time trying to beat the gym, and never did due to that glitch.
Can we just take a minute to enjoy this idea and how amazing it would be? lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b4ef8792b67ff6066057e23f9c4c629f3274bd43d4f52925bebd664122e705ad.png
I want Zygarde Gundam forme to punch Hoopla in the face repeatedly
That’d be pretty great hahaha You know what’s crazy? Zygarde Complete is around 7 feet shorter than Hoopa Unbound!!! That’s how big Hoopa is!! You’d think Zygarde C. would be taller hahaha
Yes, because I hate Hoopa
This night I will fly to Spain for a vacation, and when I’m back, I leave for South Africa. So I probably won’t be around for 4 weeks. I’m gonna miss you guys, but I’ll be back 🙂
Who are you again?
Your replacement.
But I already marked my territory…
*a large flaming statue of a Rhyperior with pikes jutting out with fairy types impaled*
Marking means nothing. Nothing.
You mean nothing!
FOILED.
MWAHAHAHAAAAHHHAHHHAAAAAAAAA
You aren’t a gym leader
Was was leader of Team Eda that’s gotta count
http://teameda.com/
Not that, the abandoned fan game long ago
Yeah but that means literally nothing
I miss Noivern
http://i68.tinypic.com/2hp57iq.jpg feel better now?
>pipettes a drop of water
*bling*
>statue collapses
What do?
Bye-Bye Have a good time! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dbde952fbf963cc6603ae9390d15a32b7d9a79d53a6ad4558d86a1fc930d3f5e.jpg
hope you catch some rare pokemon there on pokemon go :D!
It’s my theory that “False Colors” gives mimikkyu an automatic substitute when it goes out, and when the substitute breaks it afflicts the pokemon that broke it with curse or poison, and mimikkyu’s true form is revailed. Mimikkyu without substitute gets damaged every turn, moreso in the sun.
and perhaps there is a like 1/5 chance or something of another substitute being applied again during battle each turn, because mimikkyu put back on the costume.
if my theory is true mimikkyu better get trapping moves so it can faint pokes using curse
Hmmmm ya know what I’ve been thinking?
Well I was just thinking, that 99% of my gut feelings are usually accurate, and for some strange reason my gut is really being insistent that the supposed leaks for the starters final evolutions are going to be real, (which I wont mind at all. LOL I even have some “punny” nick names thought up for the three. For Rouletts final I was going to call him “Robin Hood” for Litten’s final I was going to call him “Little John” and for Poppleo’s final I was A.) going to try for a female, and then B.) was going to call her “Maid Marian.” LOL See what I did there. :D) and so I will make my own prediction, that for next month they will revile the starter Pokemon’s second stage evolution’s, and depending on what they look like, it will be easier to figure out weather or not those supposed leaks are really, real or not. (And yes I know that you can’t always go by look’s, hence Dragonight doesn’t really look like its previous evolutions, or even looking at the Osshowatt evolution line. LOL) But for me if I see that the second stage’s look even remotely like the “leak’s” than it will confirm my annoying gut feeling. 😀 And yeah so these are my thought son the matter. 😀
I also kind of hope the leak is true. If it is I’m choosing Popplio, getting a female one and naming it Cecelia (cause that name is pronounced sea-SEAL-lia and thats a funny pun).
LOL Yeah it is funny. 😀
I’m naming mine Searinity
Mine I’m going to name Goofball because Popplio looks like it’s a Circus seal of types and looks like a Goofball!
Well it’s not really a pun unless you were to actually spell it Ce-seal-ia
😛
it is pronounced like it so in my eyes it counts 😛
It’s a pretty good name for it regardless
I just don’t think it’s likely the starter evos leak in such high quality so early on.
Why not? It is very possible, that someone got their hands on confidential info, and decided to leak it. Stuff like that HAS happened before. 🙂 It’s called a breach in security. LOL
Idk, something is just off to me. They would’ve pulled that shit ASAP, not waited over a month.
perhaps it takes some time for the request to take stuff down on google to go through, cause you know bueracracy and all that shit
I just find it very hard to believe they will give us a fourth fire/fighting type
Just because its standing on two legs does NOT mean it’s going to be a fire/fighting type. I believe that its ether going to be a pure fire type, or a fire/DARK or even a fire/poison type.
Well it is supposed to be a wrestler..it sorta screams fighting type
Not really it doesn’t. My grandfather used to watch wrestling all the time when I was little, and there were plenty of wrestlers who were pretty damned dark in everything that they said and did, even in how they looked. 😛 And there are lots of Pokemon who don’t have the fighting typing, but yet they learn a LOT of fighting type moves, it doesn’t make them a fighting type does it. And if you want to think about it that way then ALL Pokemon are fighting type. Because ALL Pokemon are/can be used to battle each other.
Fire/Dark has to be its typing why on earth would it be Primarily Black and Fire type and not be a Dark type
Ask Luxray
But it was black at the end of its evolution Litten is black right from the get go
My point is still valid
Not everything with black colorations has to be Dark
It was using wrestling moves for crying out loud
If he’s fire/fighting but I believe it’s fire/dark type that can counter fighting type with cheap way maybe by using his ability ….real tiger r strong and tricky at same time.
Tigers are by the books all out killers
How do you know that they haven’t?
Once something is on the internet it is truly IMPOSSIBLE to get it off again. LOL But it’s like I said, it depends on what the second evos look like. 🙂
Yeah the second evos will tell all
I don’t think they’re real mostly because the designs just look too complex. They look more like digimon
I know many ppl will hate this but it’s more prediction than art …..it’s a middle evolution between Litten and rumor Tiger wrestler , I called him Burnat -the concert based on rookie masked wrestler ….I didn’t use mt emotion ….using emotion to predict something is a bad idea I just thinking about it logically without judge it. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/58822963b703c00f4612d74bfaf36f3a4bcc3a6e556295c9339aadcac7976fcb.jpg
I could see that being it
It looks pretty good. 😀
NOOOOOOO
Muhahaahaaah…….more u hate ..more I get stronger …I am evil hahaahhaaahaaaa.
I am sure you are so very evil.
Do you think Pokemon type charts will be updated as they have been in Generation 6? I don’t mean in this generation, but in future?
These are the best and worst type combinations based on effectiveness(Defense), and you can see certain type dominations:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ac8e71ac9f9836951d584a12420d25074de737c907d8813d84c65cb85dcaf49f.png
ice really needs love
Steel. The boss typing.
Siiiiiigh Ground/Rock near the bottom
if Saladint is good it will definitely bring down the effectiveness of steel types in the metagame
Can we get some ice love!
And huzzah for steel on of my favorite types now
I’d love to see ice buffs in SM
Pokemon Go is finally out in Canada! and tbh my excitement level for it is kinda dead 😛
Ditto I tried it and my effing phone can’t find anything without stable wifi
And with each passing day more and more people advance while I can’t do anything
well we just got it today and tbh I have never played a game on my phone that I have enjoyed Im more of a controller guy not a touch guy unless its with a stylus
