CoroCoro Cover Teases New Lycanroc Form? (UPD)

by

The first images of CoroCoro have begun to surface!

As per usual, the cover is first to appear. And upon closer inspection there’s something that looks incredibly Lycanroc-like – albeit with a different color palette and, most notably, green eyes.

This is not confirmed to be related to Pokémon in anyway as of yet, however the similarities are simply uncanny.

Time to weigh in your thoughts! Pokémon, or nah? Are we looking at a dusk/dawn Lycanroc form? Maybe Ash-Lycanroc? And are those Necrozma-like extensions coming out of it?


UPDATE: Shigeru Omori will be appearing on tomorrow’s episode of Pokénchi with the latest news about Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon! It will air at 8AM Japan Standard Time, so check your local Google search bar to make sure you’re up and ON OUR SITE for the latest info regarding what is revealed. Due to the nature of the games’ international release, an English trailer could even be simultaneously be released – but we’ll have to wait and see!

  1. No, here’s my actual number-one wish for USUM (or any future Pokémon game): the ability to choose between 2D sprites or 3D models. I know this will probably never happen, but I feel like I would be more inclined to play Pokémon if they looked like how I remember from my childhood. Anyway, post your pipe dreams here.

  3. TBH I feel bad for USUM..
    All the aggression Pokémon fans have for the issues of the series has been directed at them over various things… I just hope they’re really good

    • For me the only way usum will be good is if they do something like bw where it was that beginning transition into 3D for Pokemon. Usum should be the transition from 3ds pixel outlined 3D to switch 3D.

      • Yeshhh
        TBH I felt a real bit of wonder when I started playing SuMo, I adored it… but that disappeared after a while… Black and whites wonder never vanished

        • Ohhhh and another thing. Get rid of z moves. Megas can stay because I’ve grown to like a few such as medicham but z moves gotta go. Also sun moon were the first games that actually put importance into the story but failed with competitive play after. I beat the game and loved the story but I couldn’t get back into competitive that I did back in xy

  5. SuMo was basically a Pokémon game with the most potential in the entire series and could have been perfect but all the the things that would have made it perfect were either underutilized or ignored
    Hence why I’m excited for USUM, which I hope fixes this

  11. Game freak: hasn’t made a truly good game since 2010ish
    4chan team: had internal conflicts, is 4chan, probably lacks GFs resources, makes possibly the best Pokémon game ever, aka Sage

    Jesus fucking Christ GF please step it up

  12. Ok guys I feel like everyone should already know this by now but remember. Do not overhype this. It can be something so little.

    On the other hand, I believe they announced bw2 on one of these Pokemon shows. I remember it like it were _____ years (whenever they were announced). I was watching the show being streamed by some guy and he went nuts when they announced them

  14. So I decided “maybe I should give battleborn another chance! Let’s check the updates!”

    …still nothing… even the most loyal people are getting pissed off…
    And I’m kinda glad I dropped it

  16. Favorite 3rd version/Sequel? I absolutely loved Platinum, I logged in so many hours of playing on it before I lost the cartridge.

  19. Black and White’s level of story
    Platinum’s Post game
    And everything HGSS

    These were the ingredients for the perfect Pokemon Games. But Professor Masuda accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction. Chemical Lillie…

    AND THUS THE PERFECT POKEMON GAMES WERE BORN

    Using their entertaining gameplay, Platinum, BW, and HGSS have dedicated their lives to 10/10 scores and being amazing!

    • I’d say that Black and White had the far better post games, and if everything else HGSS means that terrible level curve then hellllll no

      Reply

        • HGSS has a shitty Kanto tacked on and Platinum has one island

          Unova has half a region to explore and unlike other first versions had decent E4 rematches

          Reply

          • wtf? Kanto isn’t so shitty it makes it worse. YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE REGION TO EXPLORE COMPARED TO HALF AN EMPTY REGION

            like… what the heck are you talking about?

          • seriously. Kanto was another whole region to do another 8 gyms and everything. how can someone even call that a bad postgame?

          • Because it’s terribly underutilised. You could’ve slapped those eight gyms in Johto and it makes no difference

          • You’re exploring a full empty region with simplified areas, little to nothing to do but challenge gym leaders (seriously has no plot at all) compared to half a region with an actual objective (finding the sages), that actually has interesting varying routes, a decent level curve after the initial raise, and isn’t just a dumbed down version of a past region tacked on as fanbait

          • How is it fanbait when it was in the second fucking game ever?

            and its empty because its obviously past its prime. There are power outages, pokemon tower has been made into a radio tower, their champion disappeared, cinnabar is destroyed. It’s a shitty situation

            SUBTEXT

          • No, it’s empty because it’s a second region done by a company that clearly can’t utilise the idea right. Removal of areas, downsizing areas, keeping the shitty level curve from the first region in the game. It’s all baaaad. It’s not subtext at all, it’s just trying to rationalise GameFreak’s lukewarm attempt at a second region

            All imo

            Because the first game would’ve had fans lol

          • But you’re like objectively wrong about the fanbait.

            They wanted to fit it in because they expected it to be the last game. It provides closure to pokemon Red and Blue and it is a technical marvel they fit it in at all.

          • 8 extra gyms to battle, updated e4 after first run, and gathering all the leaders into the dojo for rematches =/= afterthought. also besides you have to understand that even getting a second region in johto at the time was a big accomplishment

          • The eight extra gyms were like the only thing in Kanto to do, other games have had E4 rematches without a tacked on second region, just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Kanto severely suffers from being so empty imo

          • but not all games had gym leader rematches. in hgss at least, you had to find all the gym leaders to send them to the dojo. also you got to catch the legendaries that were in kanto. mewtwo, zapdos, moltres, articuno. what else did there need to be?

          • I am baffled right now honestly. I dont even know what to say. Like.. no.

            Red from Gen 1 is there. They game literally ends with you fighting the protagonist from the last game. HOW IS THAT NOT AWESOME?

            You see all the gym leaders again, people talk about Red, Pallet Town is so melancholy. It has such a great tone.

            Just the fact a GBC game had two regions is incredible.

          • The Kanto and Johto gym leaders were never interesting characters to me

            Pallet Town doesn’t come as melancholic to me, it comes as a mum worried her dumb son hasn’t called

            One epic battle doesn’t justify how poorly Kanto was handled imo

            Sorry you can’t process opinion about it

          • Its because you’re expecting two games in one on the game boy color. Thats just being unreasonable. It was handled in the best possible way. It is your opinion but its a pretty shitty opinion because of super unrealistic expectations

          • so what counts as a postgame to you then? cuz a meaningless story like in ORAS with the deoxys thing was stupid, or the looker thing in xy was also meaningless and had nothing to do with the story of the game. postgame is postgame not “ok the main story is over but we want to extend the main story into the postgame therefore it not actually being postgame”

  20. Did anyone notice one of those guys on the cover has an exposed buttcrack?
    Corocoro isn’t very classy sometimes, is it?

  21. I have a question for you all: If you were in the Pokemon World and you wanted to hang out with a Pokemon character at a local restaurant, who would it be? Kinda stems from how you can interact with SM characters at restaurants sometimes.
