    • CoroCoro will probably be Lycanroc details tbh, type, weight/height and official sugi art

      Maybe Dawn Lycan if we’re lucky? If it exists, too

    • We already got the cover…has there ever been a case where there is a number of days between reveal of scans. Or is it usually revealed over several days sequentially?

  2. i expected very little information, just seeing one bit of info like the new dusk lycanroc evolution is more than fine by me, besides the the more i look at it’s design the more i like it. sure it may look like it’s just a mix of both midnight and midday forms but the colour’s really do make it look more clean, the green eyes make sense too, im actually alright with this design, it’s not too much, it’s not too less. it’s perfect. i just hope we find out this mysterious method in obtaining this new dusk evolution.

  3. is there anything new in these games beside this form ? we are only couple months away fro mthe release date and still not a single piece of information have been released and not a single trailer….

  4. Well I personally dont like this form. Sure the color scheme is cool, but it kinda looks like a shiny Lycanroc. I barely see the Midnight part of it. Its just not very stunning at all. Im pretty disappointed. Honestly, you guys were right. The lack of info is really a way to not make me excited for this game at all. Theres just nothing that hypes me up.
    New Lycanroc form. 4/10

  5. This is neat and all, but it really shouldn’t have been our first piece of info. Maybe it’s just a little tidbit to hold us off until the first real wave, but the first trailer should go something like this;
    – Show us a little bit of how the Alola region changed
    – If there are indeed new Pokemon, show us one (Lycan is still just a form)
    – Show off how and if the characters have changed

    That’s pretty much all we really need to know. After that they can drop new forms/Pokemon, but we still need to know what the game really is.

    Just to clarify, I’m not complaining about the info. I’m glad we got something, but you can always count on GF to do something unconventional.

  6. Personally I think it’s absolutely beautiful, the coloring is just too gorgeous. Lycanroc is one of my favorite Pokemon from this generation so I love this a lot! was wondering which form to evolve my shiny puppers into and I think this might be it xD I for one cannot wait to play these games and still believe they’ll turn out great.
    You know something I was thinking, maybe in USUM instead of the female Salandit evolving it’ll be the male (one can dream)

    • Same, I know the whole point is that dusk is day turning into night, but I would’ve liked it to look even a smidgen more unique?

      Reply
      • Exactly! I was expecting something new. However, I was wondering what it would look like since they did do Werewolf and Wolf. I was disappointed

        Reply
        • I was kinda expecting a fusion tbh, Ash’s was evolving between night and day in the trailer

          I just expected it to look half and half and not mostly midday

          Reply
  7. Dusk – Morning turning into night

    This is a Midday Lycanroc turning into a Midnight Lycanroc. It is influenced by Midnight in terms of fur colour (brown to orange, closer to midnight’s red) and mane shape. What we’ve seen of its animations also seem more animalistic.

    Reply
  8. Is dawn an actual time in SM? I mean, dusk has its own lighting in SM (the orange sky stuff), but unless dawn has its own lighting specifically for the time, I doubt it would have its own form.

    Reply
  9. So Tapu Lele granted Rockruff’s wish and gave him the power of both evolutionary forms. probably the anime explanation for this

    Reply
  10. What if in USUM, you play as the child of Sun and Moon’s protagonist and that’s why your mom/dad isn’t around much. And also why the trials are different. There are new kids running it

    Reply
    • Level up Rockruff to 87 while Gorebyss is in the party at the third spot, and the second spot is a Pokemon that received an evolution in Gen 4 (but not the evolution), all while the New 2DS XL is tilted 45 degree during a solar eclipse on the third Thursday of the 13th month.

      Reply
  11. Well, it looks kinda neat. Still, I expect there to be a Dawn Form from the leaked CoroCoro cover. We’ll see soon though!

    Reply
  12. Looking forward to the anime dropping another irrelevant nobody with an overpowered Dawn Form Lycanroc on us during the Alola league arc because Ash has to lose

    Reply
  13. Now that we know the placeholder all along was for the dusk form.. were there any other placeholders found during the data search that we can depict as new Pokémon in usum?

  14. How is Shofu verified on Twitter smh. He gassed himself because he received early S/M copies for testing and now thinks he’s some kind of OG of the community

    Reply
  15. Have any of you heard of MegaCrasher. I absolutely love how hyped he is in his reactions. If you want to see the reaction of someone who is really excited for the new Lycanroc form I put it here. He was literally sweating halfway through the video.

  16. So as a round up of everyone’s opinion about this, how do you feel about Dusk Lycanroc?

    Personally, I love the Orange and Green on it and appreciate that it looks like it’s transitioning from Midday to Midnight, though I wish it had more unique features on it other than simply than having Edge Lycan’s hair on it.

    Reply
    • Well since it looks quite similar to the prior forms (which is to be expected since it is Dusk) its design didn’t leave a huge impact on me, but I was expecting that. For me what will make or break this new form is its ability, signature move, and stat spread. There will be plenty of new Pokémon forms in USUM. I know that I am using Decidueye (because that is the last starter I haven’t used yet) and I prefer to not have a team with more than two Pokémon with the same weakness in-game. Thus, if Lycanroc new form does not hold up in what I mentioned I will probably not use it. I do like its design and conception and I am still hyped for USUM.

      Reply
    • To me, it doesn’t really give much of an idea that would gsuggest it covers the flaws that the other Lycanroc have

      Reply
  17. So here’s a thought and I’m sure someone has brought this up. What if we get another form where it looks a little more like midnight Lycanroc and evolves in the morning.

    Reply
    • It’s probably very likely. Dusk has opened speculation for dawn for some reason people saying the little tiny thing on corocoro was not dusk and think it’s dawn

      Reply
  18. Even though I will defend pokemon designs against all negativity, I do admit that the new form is too similar to the midday form. I kinda expected it to be half midday and half midnight, plus it could probably run on fours while battle on two. Guess you can’t win everything in expectations. All and all, I will take my new pokemon form with open arms. Maybe consider it on my upcoming team.

    I do wonder how it will be different from its other counterparts: stat spread, ability and movepool. Guess I’ll just wait and see.

    Reply
  19. TBH I kinda expected this, but I wish it was executed better. This form, like many have said, looks way too much like midday. The dawn form better look way too much like the midnight form.

    Reply
  20. I think I’m going crazy. I could’ve sworn my iPad had a tumblr notification saying that Ben Levin (writer for Steven Universe) liked my post about how I would restructure and change season 3 and 4 of Steven Universe but I don’t see any of my posts in his likes and it doesn’t seem to be in my feed.

  21. Dusk form doesn’t look too great :/ the orange is meh and the green eyes seem out of place. Glad to see old Pokes are getting new forms, though we knew about this for a while now

    Reply
  22. Good thing I chose to sleep instead, because this new form is terrible. It’s just midday but with a bad colour scheme, why couldn’t it have been more reddish like the fanart?
    Also, if this is dusk, then where’s​ dawn?

    Reply
      • ??? What do you mean? The 3DS doesn’t need to use color pallets… it’s why X and Y and Sun and Moon shinies generally looks more unique than in previous gens. It’s because they can custom pick the color

        Reply
        • The prblm with 3ds quality it’s kinda make the color more light ….u can compare Dusk Lycanroc color in the anime and the game.

          Reply
        • There’s still technical limitations to the color depth, amount of colors at the same time and the shaders that can be used due to processing power, video memory… Not to forget that the screen of the 3DS isn’t of greatest quality so it doesn’t really pay off to invest a lot in programming it. That’s why 3DS colors always look a bit washed out compared to some other systems.

  23. When Dusk form howls, its head looks exactly like the Ultra Sun logo. Which means it’ll have a counterpart=Dawn form confirmed aaaaahhhhhhh

    Reply
  24. Things I was thinking about:
    – If the dusk form takes only place at sunset then ultramoon players have to wake up at 5:00 am to evolve their rockruff (assuming usum will be set 12:00 hours apart like sm).
    – The dusk form is called Twilight form in German. This could exclude a dawn form cause twilight is good both for dusk and dawn.
    – There’s a possibility for another dusk/twilight form for ultramoon which remembers the ultramoon logo, takes place at dawn and rasembles midnight lycanrock but with the ultramoon logo colours.

    Reply
    • German doesn’t have a good word for both dawn and dusk, since they are Morgendämmerung and Abenddämmerung (really long words), with Dämmerung being a close and correct translation of twilight but with a different nuance placed on it. Good chance that it will get replaced by something more fitting for both forms or another fitting name for dawn form.

  26. So apparently, in the movie “Ready Player One”, they took out Ultraman (who was in the book) and replaced him with the Iron Giant. Now, I don’t watch Ultraman, but this still sucks. I’m still willing to see the movie, but it’ll annoy me that they took out a character from such a niche franchise, and replace him with the Iron Giant, who doesn’t in this movie.Also, apparently the main character (I forgot his name) was overweight in the book, but isn’t in the movie, that doesn’t bother me as much, but they took out an important subplot by doing that. At least, that’s what I heard.

    Reply
    • I don’t know if you read the book but a reward for clearing the jade gate was a supersized robot, with Wade being able to choose out of over 20 options, including the Iron Giant. He was thus canon in the books too. And Wade isn’t really overweight in the books, he changes weight a lot, being slightly normal at first, then gaining a lot of weight but when he is hiding from IOI he enables the fitness program and is of normal weight again. So both arguments are kinda bullshit complaints. 😛

  27. So now that it’s confirmed that the new Pokémon mentioned in the reveal trailer does encompass new forms and not just more Pokémon that were not in the Alola Pokedex in SM, I am brought back to this picture. To my knowledge this still hasn’t been debunked as being credible leak. I believe it came out some time in February or March, designs of the starters themselves came were leaked a good portion of time before SM’s release as well. Thus, I feel very strongly that it is a new Alola Form of a Pokémon that we are familiar with. If I am wrong, then it is either a fake leak or it’s a leak of a Gen 8 Pokémon. Now what I want to focus this discussion on is, if it is an Alola Form, what is the original Pokémon?

  28. After sleeping on it, not only was the news not reassuring to those concerned about the games, but it’s actually one of the worst things they could’ve revealed. At a time when people are expressing concern over the game being a cash grab or a pointless rehash, an orange Lycanroc with some extra features wasn’t the way to go.

    Reply
  29. Yo @Butter Geek, for some reason I can’t view your reply to my earlier post on Pokejungle even though I was sent an email about it. I know that we don’t know that is why I want us to speculate about what Leaked Banana is. If it’s a new Pokémon entirely, if it’s a new Alola form (which I believe it is) and what is the original Pokémon, or if the leak is just fake-most importantly why we think this way or what we base our decision off of.

  30. I have seen a lot of negativity about Dusk Lycanroc. Thus I hope what I have to say will mitigate some of everyone’s concerns. Dusk Lycanroc, in my opinion, is the embodiment of Ash Ketchum. When we first see Dusk Lycanroc we have a pretty positive opinion. However, as we look longer, we realize wow this kind of sucks a little. Then we start thinking of how Ash could have been like Red…I mean how Dusk Lycanroc may be waged potential. There is also the aspect of what appears to be bad marketing. Well Pokémon has pulled through before and it Ash will lose in the league again…wait…I meant that Pokémon will pull through again. Let’s face the facts and just wait until the end of the season for Zygarde to steal Dusk Lycanroc to have him guard a fencepost or something.

    • While these are interesting parallels, it doesn’t change the fact that the cement is drying, and the only imprint in it is an orange dog.

    • It’s not that bad, I think it’s cool. It’ll be better if there’s a Dawn form that is the Middnight model recoloured with elements from Midday.

      Reply
      • It’s literally an orange midday that needs a haircut. The idea is good but the execution is straight garbage.

        Also this doesn’t help the people who are still confused if there are new pokemon in this is technically a form

        Reply
          • …. OHHHHHH nevermind then they are totally different

            But it just shows how shitty the marketing is for this game that they just add to the confusion whenever they can

          • thats all its got, plus the red eyes when it attacks, it doesn’t stop the fact thats it the same model just edited a bit

    • That is my main problem, like it looks fine in the anime but they could have made it’s face and model more ferocious looking to reflect midnight as well.

      Reply
  32. Im currently editing of midnight lycanroc to make a kinda dawn looking form what color should the eyes and body be?

    Reply
  33. I honestly really love this concept of something halfway between the two Lycanroc extremes. I always thought that the two barely looked related, so this ties things together for me. The orange color is just really nice as well. I just hope that the games have more than just new forms: brand-new Pokémon are highly unlikely, but maybe new UBs could sneak in there?

    Reply
    • I agreee with you on the UBs. I’d prefer if they shift their focus to Alola forms of Johto Pokémon and Ultra Beasts in USUM.

      Reply
    • “. . . will feature Pokemon not previously seen in Alola.”

      Wording still ambiguous. As is the game, other than cheeto dog.

      Reply
  34. Unpopular opinion: I don’t think we’ll see a dawn form. I think they were already scraping the bottom of the barrel with dusk, and while it’s logical, I just don’t see it.

    Reply
  35. I just realized that even though we might not necessarily like Dusk Lycanroc this first news drop gave us more info than the first news drop for SM which was also the only news we got 2 months later-and it was just the covers of the games but the legends were whited out in the Coro Coro magazine. In all honesty, I think Gamefreak is just doing the same thing as always in their news release schedule by giving customers a reveal that doesn’t meet the customer’s standards.

  36. Man, I’m really liking O.K. K.O. so far, it’s pretty funny. Rad’s gotta be my favorite character so far (Besides Raymond, but he was a one off).
