The September issue of CoroCoro has started to leak and with it comes a handful of new Pokémon and information.
UPDATE: More scans have leaked!
- Namakobushi (sea cucumber & fist) It uses fist-shaped organs which come out of its mouth to punch!
Yesterday’s leaks:
- Yowashi (weak sardine) is a new Water-Type Pokémon that calls on its friends to change form
- Sunabaa (sand + boo) and its evolution Shirodesuna (name literally means it’s a castle, isn’t it?) are Ghost/Ground-Type Pokémon
- Nuikoguma (plush/sewn + cub) is Bewear’s pre evolution and is Normal/Fighting
- Alolan Meowth confirmed and becomes Dark-Type
- Alolan Marowak confirmed and will be Fire/Ghost
- Evil Team is known as Team Skull, they are described as “the no-good Team Skull”. They’re described as hoodlums and you can see the Boss featured in the magazine
- Serebii is reporting that next month’s issue will feature a “secret evolution” for Rockruff
God. The more I stare at CoroCoro, the more I’m in love! <3
Yowashi is an interesting Pokemon. I think I figured out how it’s ability will work. Once it’s HP gets lower than 50%, it calls upon it’s ally fishes to become a daunting Pokemon; then it increases it’s attack and defense to swiftly defeats the enemy.
Also, I seriously want to see Alolan Persian! I hope it gets a black colour scheme. It would look outstanding. Lastly, that Anon_ _151 leak is also fake too. Marowak is Fire/Ghost, not Ground/Fire. Lonk: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/187276-pokemon-sun/74111574?page=0
Fish friends as it’s abilities….or is that to Gomamon-ish lol
Boy, they do love the whole “get stronger when hit” type of thing this gen huh
Hello all, my name is Ariel! I felt the need to introduce myself, I’ve always been the person just lurking and reading y’alls theories, but I’ve decided to start posting on here! I mean it is the 20th anniversary of my favorite franchise! So excited for these games!
hi Ariel, i still mostly lurk but do come out of hiding every now and then lol
I used to post before but I don’t remember under what name. That was when Black and White came out lol
Hello Ariel
Hello 🙂
Welcome to PJN After Dark!
We still have interesting colorful comments and dissenting opinions to enjoy!
I usually leave this site open! Love reading everyone’s comments haha
Hi Ariel! Pleasure to have you in the community!
Thank you!!
I’m guessing it’s confirmed that the Alola starters will be getting “Secret Evolutions” as well? They have stated that Rockruff and the Alola starters have something special and this “Secret Evolution” is most probably it
I’m assuming that it will be the two evolutions we all thought off.
Rowlet: Grass/Flying and Grass/Ground
Litten: Fire/Dark and Fire
Popplio: Water/Fairy and Water/Fighting
It’s just a thought for now.
Yes thought the same. But could still mean synchro or happens with z power
I feel like bellossom would fit so well into this game
That sandcastle Pokemon is TRAGIC. I literally can’t take it serisouly when it!s previous evo has a shovel in its head and the final evo lips literally a sandcastle with arms. The fish Pokemon has a really cool concept and I think it’s based on those little blue fish that swim in sequence to look bigger.
…
Lol. I understand. Oddly I don’t hate it though.. just not very interested. Did they Really think these pokemon would satisfy us.. closer to the rejects.. and they grouped all together
I hope Pokemon is saving the best for last cause if we have more new Pokemon like this chileeee
???
Now I understand y they made Bewear Normal/Fighting not Fairy/Fighting…..it’s Psycho murder killer and his brain didn’t grow up since it was a kid …did u Imagine this power with this little brain.
See… The thing that bothers me about Pokemon like this new fish…. Where are all the other pokemon of its species coming from in the anime!? So water types like this would only work in water and flop like magikarp on ground? Ugh
“Goldeen goldeen goldeen, goldeen goldeen…”
Yeah.
I guess the concept is supposed to reflect it calling others of its species, but if you imagine it as an extension of substitute as it appears in the anime and manga (creating an energy clone), I guess it could work?
A little glad that the Pokédex leak is fake, because
1. I spoiled it for myself, and lowkey hated myself for it lol
2. Thought the 4 versions of the final starter evolutions was a bit excessive, although I would welcome a Day/Night version.
3. Now the rest of the Pokémon will be a surprise 😀
I’m SO glad it’s fake too. OMG. You had no idea how paranoid I was.
I’m all for change but four different forms sounds excessive! Plus if they were real the name Beltigre would mean that they would have to keep the base design the same for all forms otherwise the name wouldn’t work, so it just didn’t make too much sense you know?
Yeah, I can’t see the Starters getting different forms for different Islands. There’s so many “leaks” going around at the moment, that are so convincing to my paranoid mind. I try to stay away from them, but they suck me in like a black hole because I’m paranoid they may be real. This CoroCoro batch has got me really excited now! I was so nervous they were gonna remove the Evil Team. They didn’t. Gym Leaders and E4 was a stretch but I like the idea of Trial Captains and Kuhanas and am interested to learn more about them. I will pray tonight to our lord and savior that is Arceus above for giving us news of our new Evil Team for S/M, Team Skull.
Team Skull is an interesting name choice tho, I was expecting something like Team Eclipse and whatnot. But yeah the “leaks” were messing with my mind too, I was like please be wrong, although some concepts were pretty cool. Although the fact that there were only 4 rock pokemon was weird. But then again I think DP had 4 fire pokemon that were new.
I’m SO HAPPY right now! Bewear’s pre-evolution revealed tonight just tore that leak apart like a cheese grater.
Exactly… I was like… This is Way too much… What’s the point anymore? I knew it was fake partly.. but the other leaks proved real. So I kept quiet
What I don’t get is why Alolan Meowth is a Dark type if it were bred by royalty? Could Team Skull be the descendants of the Alolan Royal Family? The plot thickens.
Because royal families were definitely pure and didn’t want to maintain their power by any means necessary.
Because people like to associate royalty with bad things despite there having been many good monarchs over the years. The good monarchs generally get forgotten though because people like hearing stories of bloodshed and debauchery.
Imagine if game of thrones (not that I watch it) were about how a king reduced taxes, negotiated trade deals and made his kingdom prosper by having a strong economy. Nobody would watch it because they would rather watch wars, beheadings and nudity.
Watch out clefairy! KING Alolan meowth is the new Pokemon LGBT icon. Ahh my fucking fave
Clefairy was lgbt? ( 0, 0)
There was that one incident with Pokemon go and the Westboro baptist church no? Or was it Jigglypuff?
I have no idea.. lol
“Is there a leak?”
(checks PJN every hour from morning until night)
“It’s 1am… there can’t be any more leaks.”
(goes to sleep)
HEH HEH HEH. If they only knew…
I should really be going to bed. I have to wake up at 9:30am. It’s past 3:30am where I am. But the excitement is keeping me up.
Well you can now go to sleep since you already know the leaks…
6 hours is more than enough for most people who aren’t in their growing years.
I’m personally not satisfied.. I hope there is more before the month is over.. the castle and bear will be no one’s favorite (very few).. the alolan pokemon are cool I guess(eye roll)
#NeverSatisfied!
Where is the Southern Island Scoop!! lol
oh yeah i forgot abou that 🙂
I think we set our standards too high for Pokemon designs, especially when we look at fakemon and how well their designs compared to the sandcastle and draPAPI
Drampa is better than what it was based on.
https://tiffin11.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/never-ending-story.jpeg
I like the sandcastle honestly. Japanese has been have poltergeist in its folklore for years, and Shirodesuna is a great concept. It even lures its victims in a sand trap but inhabiting sand an posing as a sandcastle. I like it. Beware could be better.
I’m gone for a few hours and bam! Leaks!
Corocoro still haven’t fixed their plumbing…
That made me giggle 😛
Probably because they’re reporting on pokemon and not Mario
I hooe they reveal more dragon type soon because I’m tried of draPAPI. Even though daddy is growing on me. I kinda wanna catch one.
I’ve always kinda liked it
Don’t need any more Dragons. What we need is a cool Steel Type
I like the sand castle Pokemon and the Alolan Meowth/Marowak but why do we need 900 fish every generation?
Cos fish live wherever there is water.
And water is everywhere
Different water animals would be better. More variety less of the same stuff. By that logic Bug-type Pokemon would be the most common type in the series
Mainly because water is the most abundant thing on earth. Although other type of aquatic animals exist so I’m not sure.
I’m guessing Alolan Marowak is part Ghost type because of the flames on both ends of its bone are wisps? How twisted would it be if the wisp is its mother’s spirit? Damn Pokemon
Yes fire ghost confirmed
Can u guys imagine the Sand Castles breeding together? Poor little ditto will be left so confused. . . ??? ok. Gn
Good night!
Goodnight 🙂
There’s sand everywhere
ditto is probably the only thing it will be breeding with, it seems like it will probs be genderless like carbink
My love for the CoroCoro leaks grows and grows. <3
OMG I LOVE THE FISH SO MUCH!!!!
Me too! I’m loving it more and more!
😀
There was this book i read as a kid about a fish named Swimmy. It was about a fish who was unique and basically, with the help of the rest of his fish school, flocked to look like one huge fish to scare away predators. As a kid i LOVED this book, and to see this fish LITERALLY as that…
I love that they’re keeping the story under wraps! It makes me so happy! It’s gonna be such an amazing playthrough! Can’t wait for November, I’m asking off an entire week of work just so I can play these games lol!
I’m kinda worried that this. Game will be shorter than your traditional Pokemon game with this whole island challenge thing. Like damn if you can’t go to Pokemon gyms where the hell could you go? https://media.giphy.com/media/KpMH3uEmg4FWM/giphy.gif (Rf)
Gyms don’t make the game longer.
You have four Islands to traverse. And complete challenges on
Who knows, the trials could be longer than the floor puzzles at Wallace’s gym…
I was thinking that as well, but we still know so little about the story! So we can’t jump to conclusions just yet!
Seems like the Volcano Island gets the 4 trial captains revealed so far. If each island gets 4, then it could take time to complete. Guess we’ll find out soon enough.
GUYS !!! this issue of corocoro basically confirms that the main character in game comes from Kanto , since his mother has a regular meowth that can only be obtained in the original Kanto region.
I actually really like the sandcastle Pokemon concept. It’s using the 2 towers as it’s hands, kind of reminds me of Hydreigon.
The Bewear line on the other hand….let’s just say, not something I will be using.
They fucked a chance to amazing red panda pokemon. Bewear looks like a stuff teddy bear to me and the fact that bewear looks so unrealistic and cartoonish compared to pangroo and their both bears is tragic
Its because Beware is based on a plush bear. its pre evolution even has the kanji/katakana for plush in its name
So with the reveal that bewear has a pre-evo can we put that other rumor of the whole pokedex being leaked to rest!?
Yes we can!
Thank you I’m tired of looking at it
Nah. Don’t worry a new one will come out in the next couple of days.
