Nah, I beat it myself.
It's locked behind a password, but the game's been datamined, so we already know it.

The catch is that Ash doesn't even know what happened, so they're gonna milk the mystery a bit more.
After playing Pokemon on and off my whole life, I have completed a Pokedex!
707 Pokemon caught, now I just need to work on completing my living dex, and getting more event Pokemon.
The only one I have now is Diancie, not really sure how I'm supposed to get more, Hoopa hasn't even been announced here in Aus. And don't want to get any clones or hacked ones either. But I can worry about that later.

Gen IV and up do not rely on an internal battery, no worries.
Thanks.
Clearly a sign that Nintendo is shifting its focus away from mobile!!11

Ahh so they're mostly Japanese apps?
Well yes, but it's not a good thing that they're collapsing so fast.

I don't think I'm fine with a pokemon split into half 
Honestly I'm expecting all the movie news from the website to show up on corocoro. They might as well just save the Z announcement for February and release in the fall

You can see Volcanion on the cover of this month's CoroCoro...very tiny so Pokemon news is probably really small in content.
The fact Volcanion is being revealed this early, as opposed to early 2016, is interesting though...like this time around the last two years, we just got the teaser posters without Diancie or Hoopa being revealed. I wonder if Volcanion isn't the true star of the film, and a second Pokemon will end up serving as the title.

The cover is irrelevant in terms of how much content is in the magazine

I dunno, it seems every time Pokemon had a big blowout there was an equally large amount of Pokemon stuff on the cover.
At the very least I think the fact Volcanion is basically a "blurb" indicates it's the biggest news, right?
Na, we've had things relegated to the corners so many times. Keldeo, Meloetta, Therian Formes, Diancie, Hoopa, Emerald.

yeah no big surprise Volcanion is going to be apart of the next movie
I'm surprised because I figured they'd wait and use it for the next movie. Wasn't expecting to have Volcanion announced already.
like I said a few weeks ago, wouldn't at all be surprised if Volcanion is the actual star of the next movie and Zygarde in the teaser was just to advertise the then-upcoming flare anime arc that'll conclude a few months before the movie.
and another month goes by without game news.

Nah, the fact he's revealed first this early seems to point that another Pokemon may be the true star.
Like how Genesect was revealed early on for his film, though it ended up being about Mega Mewtwo Y technically.

Technically this is game news. It's just news we already had insight on due to hacking (and technical difficulties).
I should have been more specific, I meant news on a new entry.

You know if we do get a return to Kanto next year like folks have been speculating, what's the chance of Volcanion actually being a "Kanto Pokemon"?
I could see them having him be the one who caused Cinnabar Volcano to erupt.

Really from its pokedex entries, Volcanion is more likely to just blow a mountain up with super high pressure steam rather than cause volcanic eruptions =p
It's kind of an odd name, since it's steam related rather than something like magma.
That happens very commonly. The Lugia vs Ho-Oh tease for Movie 13 is probably the most infamous example, since it raised people's hopes on Ho-Oh finally being used in a Pokémon movie, only to go with Celebi and Zoroark.
Be it a Gen 7 'mon or a form/Mega for a major Legendary, the "real" star opposite Volcanion is probably going to be a Pokémon we haven't seen. I do hope the TV anime handles the Zygarde climax properly though. It's a good opportunity to pull off a "grand" finalé in a way they haven't done in quite a while.
I wouldn't say that
Genesect (Final Gen V Pokemon): 7/11/12, First Gen VI Pokemon: 1/13/13
Arceus (Final Gen IV Pokemon): 2/14/09, First Gen V Pokemon: 2/10/10
Deoxys (Final Gen III pokemon): Difficult to find info on, but I presume 2003. Munchlax was revealed in May 2004.
So, if we don't get a Gen VII Pokemon by March, it'd be the longest time between the last Pokemon of a gen and the first Pokemon of a gen in over a decade. It's possible, but it'd surprise me. Even with D/P's delays they still built the hype train up early.

Well there we go. Kinda wish we never datamined.
Erm, if Arceus is one year between reveal and the first Gen 5 game, how would 3 months between Volcanion and March be the longest?
Plus the fact Genesect to Gen 6 is 6 months. As was Deoxys to Munchlax
Think your maths has failed, my friend

Not when you realize they were talking about March 2017, as pointed out earlier in this conversation you're a part of =p

I wouldn't be shocked if we did have a Gen VII Pokémon revealed in February or March now, though. Volcanion needs a co-star.

Completely missed the 2017. Apologies. I have been without sleep.
