Waiting for dat corocoro leak to reveal nothing

People say this, but every other month they promised nothing (except September when they did deliver), and yet this month they promise news.

This is symptomatic of people overhyping themselves for everything. I remember in May everyone was hyping for a huge reveal on May 21st based on absolutely nothing.

Yeahhhhhh well these cuts burn deep and I'm jaded now. Cant help it. If we get something big so be it but I can't help but expect to be underwhelmed after hoping for Z to be every one of those possible moments lol. My own fault really but true nonetheless

Wait, what in May?

Basically, the magazine Famitsu DS+Wii said its next issue would have Pokémon, Monster Hunter and Yo-kai Watch content. People insisted this meant news and so hyped themselves up for a huge main game reveal and obviously got disappointed.

In a bizarre coincidence, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon was revealed separately on the same day

News is a very broad term. I'm expecting something, but I'm not expecting Z.

The interesting thing, though, is that in the note last month, they used ポケットモンスター rather than ポケモン. Typically the latter is used for spin-offs, merch, movie, anime etc. (despite the latter two using the full name) which is why this raises an eyebrow since the first is typically used to describe main series stuff.

Fuck. That is enough to get me hyped for Z announcement. I am so desperate for a new main game :(

I definitely expect the announcement of Z (or whatever it's called) in the next Corocoro but whether they actually show details, screenshots, art and the like is not guaranteed. I'm just expecting minimal information to avoid disappointment.

You're expecting a main series game announcement and want to 'avoid dissapointment'. Have I missed some major evidence for this?

Coro Coro hasn't had the exclusive reveal of a mainline game for the thick end of a decade by this point, and that was a time before Nintendo Directs and worldwide releases. Expecting the magazine to reveal the next game at all is not a conservative guess.

The fact that they're referring to the new information as something from Pocket Monsters rather than Pokemon, which is the term they use when talking about the main games, is the 'evidence' you're missing. It's completely irrelevant whether or not Corocoro hasn't revealed a main game for the best part of a decade. I don't think it's possible for my eyes to roll any further back into my head when people make baseless speculation on 'patterns'. "oh, oh, it can't happen like this because this is the way it's done now!"
Where was the precedent when they had the X and Y broadcast in January 2013? It's still entirely possible we'll get a half assed announcement from Nintendo ala ORAS around the time Corocoro leaks anyway.

It's very easy to tell people off for why they're wrong and why it won't happen the way they think because of reasons one through ten, but Nintendo do what they want and how they want. See also: Gen 1 on the Virtual Console, Cloud in Smash etc etc etc.

Certainly it could happen. No one is denying that. However you say you are expecting it to happen. That implies that you are greater than 80% sure that it will happen. And there is not enough evidence for that to be true.

Perhaps I should've been clearer. When the initial announcement is made, I'm expecting the same amount of information that was given when ORAS was announced i.e. very little. Yes, there's not a lot of evidence for Coro coro to be the ones to reveal it, but those are just my personal expectations.

Hey, if you want to believe that Coro Coro are revealing Z at all, knock yourself out. I'd love it to be true, but I just don't see it.

Expecting it is daft, though. It doesn't fit into how the series is generally promoted now- no, a worldwide Pokémon Direct was not an unexpected leap from Nintendo, who had established a precedent for revealing titles that way.

Well whichever way you cut it, they said they have some kind of news, which whatever it is I'll be happy to hear about. And to re-iterate, there is nothing stopping Nintendo from dropping another ORAS announcement style video on the same day. We'll see by the weekend in any case.

oh yeah the anime run for this year will end in 24th, there will be no eps in Dec 31st and Jan 7th.

But 31st, at 6-8am, they will have a Year's End special for the anime. First hour is a reairing of XYZ1 and Act IV, the next hour will be "summary of all the mysteries and preview of new stuff".

I'm with both sides, I do agree ultimately that people poo-pooing speculation because of smug "I know how Pokemon works, and x would never happen" is kind of annoying, and also that corocoro will probably not be the first reveal of Z. But like dude said, its not impossible for the magazine to "reveal" the game the same day as an out of nowhere 3 second teaser like ORAS.

We're obviously all pretty big fans of the franchise in general so whatever lets just revel in our love for the series.

I think no one knows shit except maybe Joe and he would never even reveal that he knows it so. Meh.
