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. Nah you wanna talk about kanto being handled badly… what the hell was up with Red and Blue in Sun and Moon?

    You only get to battle one of them (and honestly idk why you would ever pick blue over red) then you have to go through the battle tree to battle them again.

    At least they have awesome redesigns….

    BUT WHERE IS LEAF?

  3. Shit man, if we get lycanroc sunset form, would that mean we would get early morning encounters again and maybe the late afternoon(Sunset) encounters

  4. What if in USUM Aether got some Necrozma DNA and made a Necrozma-enchanced Lycanroc fusion instead of Silvally? Or something like that, cause that doesn’t make sense

  5. So Joe seems to think that the Pokenchi news won’t just be June’s trailer. Apparently they used the phrase “world premiere” so who knows. Maybe the Sunday morning program is going back to it’s roots of actually showing new stuff hahaha

  8. Im saying this now, but If I see the Battle tree is the same, but just decided to add more characters Im going to be HIGHLY annoyed

  9. So assuming that we do get Johto Alola forms in USUM, who do you want to get an Alola form. (Excluding Johto starters because it is already a given that they need some love and may or may not get them in these games).

  17. I’m totally behind you guys but I’ve just almost finished AS. Amazing game. Where’s that dude that said ORAS aren’t good???
    I’ll give him a piece of my rage!!

      • The more you play it the more you realize that every pokemon game is unutilized potential and gamefreak makes questionable game decisions

        Reply

      • I disagree. Pre game the no BF made me anxious but after playing through I think there’s no comparison. ORAS are well polished games.

        Reply

          • That made me mad as you can see in my DP, I’m still mad 😛
            I’ve played Emerald like a million times and have 2 say ORAS improved on almost everything. They were really enjoyable.

          • My issues with oras are mainly

            – Really really bad remixes of hoenn music. It may just be the soundfont but they lost all charm the original GBA games had. Gen 6 had this problem as a whole and is certainly something they fixed in Sun and Moon. The original compositions like for Zinnia and Wally are fantastic though if a bit repetitive.
            – No battle frontier.
            – Delta Episode was little more than a fetch quest with nothing to fetch. The only good part was at the end where stuff actually happened
            -They ruined the Sky Pillar
            -NPC redesigns felt bland
            -Really easy
            – Legendaries are just given out

          • Why I think they’re better.
            – Graphics. Hoenn was just stunning.
            – Better story we had more of May/Steven/Wally even Aqua/Magma but what I liked most was the Primal/mega lore.
            – Delta Episode was a great expansion. Story doesn’t end after Sootoplis.
            – Soaring was fun.
            – Dexnav was game breakingly good.
            – Subtle changes in everything story, overworld etc

            I thought music was good, soaring and Wally’s theme for example.
            Only thing Emerald had going was BF, GL rematches and more challenging main game.
            But yh no BF was really frustrating but I’ve gotten over that somehow. I wish they were more challenging too

            -idk I think RSE was way more vibrant
            – yeah… yeah for sure
            – It was pretty bad IMO. You just go place to place to place. Nothing really happens
            – Fair enough
            – YEAH WHY DIDNT THEY BRING IT BACK?
            – I guess
            – Again those two were original compositions. The only exceptions I can think of are like… Team Magma/Aqua leader themes and… Vs Deoxsys?

            Verdanturf is so bland now which is sad because it was so beautiful.

          • – I think the big thing with RSE was it was a HUGE jump in graphics from GSC. I still remember when I first played Emerald the graphics blew me away.
            ORAS are a good step up from XY but not as big as RSE were.

            – Perhaps but it’s still has some interesting points and better than no post game story at all.

            – Hmm I agree with Vendaturf and some others but some of the themes like leader themes, evil team encounters, littleroot and some route themes I liked alot. Oh and Foretree.

            In the end what I liked about ORAS was the experience. But I’ll never forget the originals!

  18. I for one am very excited at any new form we might get. I just hope it’s good. I will probably use it in USUM if I like it enough, probably have to shiny breed again ;P

    • It’s just one of many alternate pokemon time lines. Maybe it’s the “until XY not counting remakes”universe where mega evolution doesn’t exist

        • That’s not been confirmed as canon though? That was given as a timeline, but never stated as canon. And when you establish a multiverse, there can’t be a canon. There can be the continuation of a specific time line, but everything is equally canon. Heck, in your supposed canon there’s already multiple alternate timelines (Fire Red is a parallel timeline of Leaf Green, HG to SS, B2 to W2)

          Also BW2 happens the same time as Kalos

          Reply

          • idk… I think it depends how you think of what is canon.

            But B2W2 does not happen at the same time as Kalos because Colress is mentioned to being in Kalos but that cant be possible if he is in Unova

          • In a multiverse, to refer to something as canon would mean it partains to one timeline (for example, ‘this game is canon to this timeline’). However, everything is canon to its own timeline, and we’ve never been given any specific timelines (such as Fire Red to Soul Silver to X to Moon or anything) and if consider the idea that GameFreak wants every playthrough to be seen as its own timeline then it just makes canon arbitrary unless we’re comparing the game multiverse to another multiverse (such as anime or manga)

          • I hate talking about Pokemon time lines tbh… I wish GF didn’t complicate it with the megas >.>

            And huh… That’s really weird… I really thought B2W2 was before X and Y

          • I like it, they’ve been alluding to it since Black and White and it’s a really cute nod to different versions + allows them to explain away everything they add

  23. I still want to hear about a limited edition 2DS XL for USUM. That would probably be enough to make me get one. It would actually make sense, since blue and orange were already the default colors. Just put blue on the bottom shell and orange on the top with a cool design and BAM, instant money.

    • Can’t wait for either
      A Pokemon switch edition with Custom Dock, Image printed behind the system and Colors representing the legend joycons with logos on the bottom or just the joy cons

  24. Anyone still playing Sage? I’m giving up looking for the Bear and Blue Racoon in the Forest I think, not even sure they are in it. Anyone know if there’s a Fire or Leaf Stone in this Demo?

  25. Wait, maybe Rockruffs evolution will be determined by actual time of day instead of which game you have, sorry if old news
