CoroCoro Debuting New Comic Featuring Rockruff & New Trainer

corocoro-rockruff-comicThe official Japanese Pokémon Twitter account has announced that beginning in next month’s issue of CoroCoro (October issue, they’re dated a month ahead) a new comic will debut! It will feature a brand-new, as of yet unnamed trainer and his Rockruff.

Will be interesting to see if we get any hints of what we’ll see in Pokémon Sun & Moon during the two or three issues we get before the games’ release!

Also, it might just be me, but this new trainer looks rather like Tai from Digimon…

  1. I think I’ve figured out how the Rite of the Island Challenge will work:
    1. You begin with completing the given trial.
    2. You battle the Trial Captain.
    3. You then battle the Totem Pokemon of the Trial Captain’s type or Island.
    4. Once you defeat the Trial Captains of a given Island, then you fight the Kahuna.

    Yet, I’m sorta confused about Melemele; I’m wondering if it has any Trial Captains on the Island. The leaker, Anon, said that each Island has four Trial Captains, so I assume Melemele has some. I’m quite sure that Luna, Mallow, Sophocles, and Kiawe are all on Akala Island. I believe that Gumshoos is one of the Totem Pokemon of Melemele Island based on it’s level; also there might be a Normal Type Trial Captain. I’m still expecting eight to ten Trial Captains.

    • I’m not so sure about battling all the captains to be honest. They said that not each trial will include battles. However, making the captains X specialists makes me wonder about the reason they give them a type if we’re not supposed to battle them. I’m also quite sure that all of the above mentioned 4 will be on Akala. Mallow in Lush Jungle, Kiawe on the top of the volcano, Lana at those watery things at the top of the island and Sophocles in the bigger building near the volcano.

  2. No idea if this is true, but a guy on Facebook says his Amourshipping picture of Ash and Serena in Alola outfit on RedBubble has been taken down because of a claim by the Pokemon Company. This would mean that Serena will go with Ash to Alola.

    • or maybe it was just an inappropriate picture and got taken down 😛 I don’t think gf/nintendo would care at all about something so minor

  3. Ok guys, I have a theory, it may sound weird but here we go:
    Some months ago in CoroCoro we had two new pokemon (Rockruff and Komala). And there was a note that said that Rowlet, Litten, Popplio and Rockruff have a secret.
    Today we have that Pokedex that we don’t know if it’s real or not. But there it says that all the final evolutions of Rowleet, Litten, Popplio and Rockruff have a a bunch of forms or whatever.
    Maybe that’s the secret

  4. I don’t know why but I want this Pokedex to be real so bad. Just because of QUASAUR. I can’t stop imagining it. If it turns out to be fake, I will be devestated because of that genius name, concept and typing being lost in the internet forever.

        • Are you referring to 2 other names that sound like cosmos and spectrum? I never saw any leaked pokedex, Im just going based on this one name .-.

          Reply
          • Belmad is referring to the leaked Rumored Pokemon Cosmot, Spectrodon, and Quasaur. They appear to be a pseudo legendary line that is dark electric and based on cosmic energy/phenomenon+dinosaurs. I for one am highly excited by the prospect of true!

          • The Quasaur line and the Gargoyle line is what I am excited for, we’ve never had a Dragon/Fighting so I’m hyped!

          • Same here!! And they are both seemingly pseudo’s which hasn’t happened since gen 3! I can’t begin to explain my hype lol.

          • Yeah same here. Alola is turning out great so far, only thing bad in my opinion is Bruxish and Bewear.

          • Yeah Bewear is off to me as well. And while I despised Bruxish’s design upon first reveal I’ve actually grown to really like it. I love that it’s based on an actual Hawaiian fish which itself is also hideous lol.

          • I think Bruxish will have to be something I get used to, probably will take me some time though. BTW what are some of the Pokemon so far you want to include on your Sun/Moon team?

          • As far as full team I couldn’t say lol, so many amazing Pokemon just out of the ones actually real and revealed alone lol.

            But I would love rockruff, vikavolt, alolan sandslash, mudsdale, litten, komala, pikipek, salamdit, lurantis, and wimpod just to name a few.

            You see my problem lol?? I’m obviously gonna have to have multiple teams or a revolving roster! And that’s great!

          • That’s a lot of choices, but it’s great that you like a lot of them! So far for me, the ones that I would absolutely love to have on the team is:
            Rowlet
            Rockruff
            Vikavolt
            And like you, I’m having a hard time picking some on the team because I like them a lot, so the ones I might include is:
            Alola Ninetales
            Mudsdale
            Mimikyu
            Oricorio (Fire form)
            Salandit
            Wimpod (looks like it can turn into something awesome like Gyarados)

          • See lol?! This gen has some truly awesome Pokemon. And I love that I’m having a hard time making a team. If that leaked dex is real I will have an even harder time lol.
            And I definitely see wimpod becoming a total bad*** like Magikarp to Gyarados.

          • I actually don’t have it. However on the previous article someone posted a picture of it and someone else listed them out

  5. Im sad because what if theis is the reason Rockruff is special… because it gets its own comic because it’s cute Dx

  6. Who wants to do a listing of some type what Pokemon do y’all want to have Alolan forms? Mine are

    Primeape- Fighting/??? to make it more in tune to the jungle like Mankey

    Seel/Dewgong- Water or Water/Fire to show a migration to warm tropical waters and change to adapt in the heat

    Clefairy/Clefable- Fire/Fairy where they could change the attitudes they have and praise the sun instead of the Moon could evolve by Sun stone

    Reply
    • Primate yes I want that too, no clue why seel/dewgong would become part fire, but I can see them becoming a water type easily and welcome the idea. As for clefable line, I want alolan forms for them and gengars line that switches their typings somewhat to expand on the fact that gengar are clefables shadow 🙂

      Reply
      • It was more for the Seel line to show it changing from frigid water to tropical water meaning to use the reverse of its origins that would be cool if Gengar changed with Clefable to show that!

        Reply
      • But Gengar being Clefable’s shadow is only a theory, not a fact. I’m not trying to say that its not possible but I’m just reiterating the fact its still just a theory.

        Reply
        • yes… everyone knows its a theory, no one said it was a fact, but lets be real here its probably one of the most believable pokemon theories out there with tons of evidence pointing towards it being true. Not everyone on the internet who states their opinion does so while thinking its a fact my dear, but thanks for the input.

          Reply
          • Your exact wording to what I replied to was “to expand on the FACT that Gengar are Clefables shadow”

          • sorry I didn’t mean literal fact, we have a lot of slang and different ways of speaking where I come from so maybe it isn’t easily distinguishable online or in other parts of the world. I should have entered a basically in there somewhere so as not to cause confusion, that is my fault I am afraid, sorry I just always someone attacking me like every time I comment on something so I get easily defensive sometimes when I feel like people are going out of their way to come for me. I apologize.

          • Nah its all good. With all the internet trolls/assholes out there becoming defensive is natural. I’m sorry, if i came off as a know it all

  7. Based on the possible leak for the Alola Region’s Pokedex,and based on the typings and theme of each island in Sun and Moon, I have come up with this graph to clearly show you of which island certain pokemon will evolve a different type.

    You may also notice that in the Japanese Pokemon website decoding for the Starter’s Final Typing done a while back, has decoded their Typing from the Ulaula (Red Island) Pokedex.

  8. So they wanna do a Pikachu on Rockruff! I’m fine with that, cause it has a great design.
    I assume the character could be an in-anime rival for Ash and here we have his story.

  9. If Rockruff´s rumor its true about its evolution having access to fairy, dark, steel, fight as secondary type it will become one of my favorite pokemon from Alola.
    Besides I love its design :3
