I dunno about not expecting too much, I mean even if Corocoro shows like screenshot and and the new playable protagonists, it will be followed by the western branch of the Pokémon Company with more info.
Either way I am excited.

Is CoroCoro's revenue hurt by leaks that much? I mean the bulk of the magazine is the comics and giveaway trinkets right?
I never got the impression they really cared about leaks, rather it seems The Pokemon Company in general has taken advantage of the various avenues of the net more and more + a focus on revealing the games internationally instead. So CoroCoro has become somewhat outdated even disregarding leaks, which is kind of sad to me because I miss the days that was the big thing to look forward to.
That being said Generation VI CoroCoro delivered enough to still be worthwhile...

That was hype back in Gen VI. There isnt a Kalos mon I dislike and it was ace seeing everyone so happy with the designs during the leaks.
I wasn't happy with the Gen 6 design I thought that they were awful, especially that stupid Noivern I mean it's just a bat with speakers.
I am joking ;p I actually like all 722 Pokémon.

I remember people not liking Aromatisse and Slurpuff---but they were revealed though some girls magazine and not CoroCoro iirc.
I really hope Generation VII has a large amount of Pokemon though, at least 100---but I guess I've sort of warmed up to Gen VI's smaller amount.

why, what's wrong with that position?
I'm already sharing my thoughts from next week. He has Serena all wet and ready to pounce him and yet he's gonna find a way to let me down.
Why am I even getting emotionally invested in Pokemon romances anyways?!
Gen 7 is an odd numbered gen so I am pretty sure that we will get a bigger selection of Pokémon for Sun and Moon, which explains why X and Y had a smaller amount and didn't the traditional legendary trio as Gen 6 time was going to be super short.
My only hope with gen 7 is that Game Freak buck the trend and have a non cross gen evolution just to reassure fans that they aren't going away because of Mega.
The whole Serena and Ash shipping doesn't interest me as I know full well that nothing is going to happen as Serena will be gone by the end XY&Z unless she follows Ash to Sun and Moon region and even then they won't be in a relationship.
By the way I wonder why Iris hasn't been given the same treatment that Misty, May and Dawn got and appear in X,Y& Z as a guest character.

I'm going to guess because nobody actually liked her
Still though it's tradition and its a nice way to make Ash adventure feel connective plus if they don't want to use Iris then use Bianca instead, I am sure that she will have the hot for Ash's Hawlucha.
It was a card saying "Pokémon Master"
Honestly, every time they bring back someone or a Pokemon from the past, it just makes it that much weirder that he hasn't aged at all, and has semi-frequent resets in his skills. I enjoy it, but ugh x.x I wish way back when, maybe even after Johto, we'd moved onto a new protagonist and had Ash cameo on occasion as he got older and more experienced. Maybe in some other, better parallel universe that happened =(

nice looks cool
Well this grouping is interesting
Iris got an after season special ep tho.
I always knew arceus was a deer
For those of you actively following the Japanese anime broadcast, did you used to watch the dub? If so, when did you switch over?
(And I'd still be grateful if anybody can temporarily lend me any of the AS-exclusive postgame legendaries so I can pick up the third from each set)

I only watched OS, and occasionally AG.
No. CoroCoro does not exist to provide Pokémon news. It is a huge magazine (both in terms of sales and in terms of size. Yowzah, there's hundreds of pages.
CoroCoro primarily contains a lot of manga as well as the new stuff for various series in Japan such as Buddy Fight, Duel Masters, Yo-kai Watch, Pokémon etc.
People often seem to think that CoroCoro only provides Pokémon content, but it has so much. Pokémon is just a small part of it.

hell Coro Coro barely, if ever, mentions pokemon when being shown in commercials

One Pokémon I hope gets some love in Sun and Moon is Dunsparse.
I hope it gets a regular evolution before getting a Mega.
Ash trying to catch and fail Dunsparse in the anime made it grow on me.

Normal/Dragon! Make it happen, GameFreak!
You say that but proper details seldom come through leaks like that. Plus you can bet that Nintendo intends to plug every leak possible.

Didn't a ton of XY info get out because of an NA tester or something like that? I thought I remembered stuff like Sycamore giving the Kanto starter came from a non-Japan source.
Normal/Ghost doesn't really make much sense. Dunsparce is based on a draconian-like creature so Normal/Dragon makes logical sense.

I didn't know it was based off of something. If it got the Dragon/Normal typing it'll need some bulky stats to replace my Dragonite. I still wouldn't mind having the option to give it a try.

Yes. That leaker was later fired and I imagine TPCi tightened up their security after that. I mean, we didn't get any ORAS leaks, right?
I'll be honest, I was completely out of the Pokemon hype cycle from when XY released until now, so I wouldn't know, but I'll take your word for it. Didn't realize that NOA doesn't really have a role in the games being localized/tested either.
Hence why I said seldom, not never
And I had said I only limited my observation to the last couple years, and of that I hadn't realized ORAS had been locked down pretty effectively. No need to get defensive about wording here.
Really I was just griping because of the Zelda leaks spoiling some of the fun from that game's eventual reveal.

I still want a Schrodinger's cat normal/ghost. It's ability would be that any time it's attacked there's a 50% chance of it being consider either pure normal or pure ghost
Gen V did as well, I think GF started to realize that they were sitting on a lot of untapped potential typing combos by not mixing the two
I'd be very surprised if they don't clamp down, especially considering the amount of leaks that have come lately.
Thats an nice gimmick. I would love that!
That's good to hear. If only NOA was as effective...
And on the topic of the Schrodinger 'mon, are any of the existing Pokemon themed around thought concepts instead of animals/objects/myths/natural phenomena?
Off the top of my head, I can't think of any.
TBH, I'd prefer just a Pokemon that's set as Normal/Ghost, it's really way more disadvantageous to you than it is your opponent. You have no clue if you're going to get STAB or not meanwhile someone using a fighting or ghost move can still get a SE on you if you change at a good time for them.

I would only have it matter when being attacked, it still gets STAB on both. And you're opponent would still risk doing nothing if they used a ghost or fighting move. The only safe SE is Dark type since it's either normal or super
Consider that the game is usually balanced around double then? In such a case, then using both a ghost and fighting type move on it would guarantee a SE hit. I'm not saying it's a neat gimmick, I just don't think it's an effective one
Aaronrules380

Sure, but you'd also be wasting a move, and need to double target, so it can just protect
Okay, something else I'm thinking about from the Zelda news thread -- how many times has there been a dialogue difference in Pokemon based on which gender character you are, that isn't just replacing pronouns like boy/girl when referring to you? And also not counting the opposite-gender rival's dialogue, since they're separate characters as NPCs, with different personalities.
Honestly I'm not a huge fan of Normal/X typing. It gives one immunity to a not super common type, one weakness to a very common type, and no new super effective moves. Now to be fair, it obviously gives decent to quite good coverage (depending on the type it is added to) especially with moves like Return, getting STAB is really good. But it is so BORING. Oh another pokemon that will use Return to good effect. I have never felt that normal type adds anything all that interesting as a dual type, but it is definitely useful to have.
But still, I definitely prefer dual type Normal/X to monotype, I just think any other dual type is more interesting.
Inmunity to Ghost types is still pretty useful thought considering they're the best type for neutral coverage.
Normal is awesome on something like Pyroar because it powers up all his voice attacks which makes sense considering he's a lion (and STAB Hyper Voices are always awesome). Other times it makes no sense thought. Heliolisk shouldn't have been part Normal.
Nothing really jumps to mind.
