KingCyndaquil June 6th, 2012 10:33 AM

so, it looks like i was right all this time!

It doesn't make since that he is part of team plasma, i think the player and Akuroma were working together at this point of the game and he went up to the control room to check on the computer, so Akuroma does play a big part in the game, this proves that much.

PaxAmericana June 6th, 2012 11:11 AM

I wonder if we get to battle Akuroma, even though it seems unlikely?

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 6th, 2012 11:31 AM

Was Akuroma lying to the character about hating Plasma?
I'm thinking that the reason he's there is to stop the team, or possibly to give the player some info on what lies ahead like those people who block the way to the E4...

blue June 6th, 2012 12:18 PM

It's most likely he's with Team Plasma, I'm sure that was many people gut instinct initially, either that or he's assisting us in taking them down again.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 6th, 2012 12:30 PM

Does anyone know what he's saying in that trailer picture? Perhaps it can tell us something about who he owes his alligance to...

In the trailer picture?

Quote:

アクロマ「いや失敬!私はアクロマという科学者です。
Here, in the animated trailer, he's saying "I don't mean to be rude! I'm Akuroma[, and I'm] known as a researcher."

Quote:

アクロマ「私は知り合いにたの...
Here, in that picture (too lazy to find the trailer, he starts to say, "Me, with my acquaintance [friend]..." the "tano" part hadn't finished loading so I don't know what it would say. Maybe if I find the whole trailer though.

And anther thing to note is that he uses "Watakushi" a lot instead of "watashi" so that means he's really formal with you.

And other pictures!! Mahaha.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 6th, 2012 1:30 PM

Hmm, it seems like he's calling you his acquaintence then. Perhaps he's giving the player a rally speach before they go and defeat Plasma. If so than he's proably not evil...at most neutral good...

droomph June 6th, 2012 1:34 PM

Although, it doesn't say he's specifically talking to you...

"shiriai ni" just means "with someone I know well". It doesn't mean anything about you really; it could mean Team Plasma, Cheren, Elesa or maybe even like, Brock. And for some reason, your sprite isn't on the screen? So yeah.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 6th, 2012 1:41 PM

Could the person be N? He's shown to appear towards the end, so perhaps Akuroma was the only one who knew where N was... (maybe he's N's real father!)
Either way I don't think he's evil, unless that friend is Ghetsis...

blue June 6th, 2012 3:02 PM

I wonder if he's like the Charon of Team Galactic, the researcher who you are unable to battle, he has a similar appearance and characteristics and probably has an important role that we'll find out about in-game.

He's standing over a Plasma symbol. So he's either trying to help us stop them, or he's actually with them. And in my opinion, it looks like he's at the head of some sort of Plasma control centre.

This doesn't really prove anything. We don't know why he is there. I still feel like he is a neutral character whom is only out to benefit himself. In fact, I feel this furthers that standpoint - helping Team Plasma in any way is him looking out for the greater good of what he wants.

Mista T June 6th, 2012 3:53 PM

I don't know if this has been touched upon too much, but, ethics and motives aside, do you think we will be able to battle Akuroma? Based on the animated trailer, it is obvious that he owns a Magneton (a steely Pokemon that fits his demeanor and name nicely) which might indicate that we will battle him. Akuroma's Magneton indicates a greater competence in battle than something like Juniper's Minccino.

Yeah. Seems like he's about to battle you.

How does that imply that? I see studying as just... helping out rather than a forceful battle. idk, doesn't seem like a line leading into a battle for someone as high-profile as him.

droomph June 6th, 2012 5:58 PM

Yeah sorry. "My friend and I were asked to help with this study!" I didn't realize there were two parts and yadayadayada unimportant grammar **** I didn't learn yet :( Not adding the "ru" to the end of the verb probably is like how we say "gonna" instead of "going to" when we're just talking and people are like "what the hell are you saying"

but yeah. It's probably someone from Plasma who asked him to "study", and the "friend" could be anyone?

EDIT: I honestly have no clue what it's saying other than "me, friend, asked; help with study!"

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 6th, 2012 7:07 PM

Well if the player was being studied by Plasma than it's possible that he isn't all that good...he might be testing the players strength for Ghetsis' or maybe N seeing how he "tested" the BW player, so perhaps he wants to test the supposed third Hero...
This guy can go both ways as far as we're concerned...

SolarAbusoru June 7th, 2012 12:29 AM

Well Akuroma is a researcher of Pokemon STRENGTH, what better way to study Pokemon strength, than by battling?

Ho-Oh June 7th, 2012 12:30 AM

Well he could always be their official researcher that's working against them from the inside, especially since he said he didn't like what they were doing, iirc?

And idk, he could research their mental strength perhaps.

wombateiro June 7th, 2012 3:08 AM

Imo Akuroma could be Champion, or maybe last opponent after Elite Four like N and Ghetsis. His appearances seem to be similar to the ones of most previous Champions - appearing at random points of game, talking about evil team or effects of their actions. That would also explain why he's at World Tournament.

The Fallen June 7th, 2012 10:51 PM

Seeing as how he is a fan of a Pokémon's potential and power I would not be surprised if he were to be working with Team Plasma in order to get to Kyurem and his Black and White formes. If you ask me that is a power of note to study and learn from.

JudgeDreddigon June 7th, 2012 11:24 PM

What if his "friend" is his pokemon? Now, who else called pokemon his friends?

To be honest, his appearance and the way he talks does remind me of N.

Well I don't think that's what the user was implying, maybe that Akuroma is either related to N, or his role is that he fights alongside N, idk.

The Fallen June 8th, 2012 5:48 AM

Them being the same person would be a horrible thing for the game. However, them being related is fine and far more probable I think.

That would make a lot of sense actually...also his presence in the Plasma hideout is like that of Lance in the Johto games, helping you out. If not then I don't really know why Akuroma is in the World Tournament unless he's the host...

Zayphora June 13th, 2012 4:54 PM

What if Akuroma is N's real father? *shot*

It's possible that he's Champ, but I don't really think Akuroma is the champion type. He is a researcher.

Plasmette June 13th, 2012 6:17 PM

This character is more overrated than...R/S/E. Oh yeah, I said that. Come and get me, fanboys.

I don't see the appeal in this guy. Everyone says he's "Shrouded in Mystery". He won't be the minute the game is released. His floating hat also sucks.

Glares (jk)
I agree, most of the mystery around Pokemon character ends pretty soon, even N isn't that mysterious...
Also that hat might actually be his hair 0_0...

Not-Champion type turning out to be Champion would be awesome imo. He studies Pokemon strength, he could become Champion with his knowledge.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 14th, 2012 9:25 AM

Akuroma replacing Alder, I love that ^_^. It'll be a big reveal if after Plasma's defeated you go the E4 and encounter him without any warning.

0_o Good point, I didn't make the connection of with Alder's hair...that would add even more Yin-Yang to these games if he were Champ, plus he's young and according to others 'mysterious' unlike Alder.

Zeruis June 14th, 2012 8:46 PM

There's definitely something about this guy. Considering that N and Ghetsis are returning in the game, I feel as if Akuroma will serve as sort of a "Commander" role to Ghetsis, sort of how Mars, Jupitar, and Saturn were in DPPt.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 14th, 2012 9:07 PM

I've suggested the idea on the Plasma thread that perhaps he's incharge of White Plasma while Ghetsis is in charge of Black Plasma.
Though I'll like it better he turned out to be the gym leader after all.

wombateiro June 15th, 2012 7:27 AM

Akuroma seems to have much more impact on storyline than being Gym Leader. Like I said before, I think his blue hair is meant to symbolize crescent because of this:

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee405/gyhak/akuroma.jpg
Looks like two crescents, one real and other one is his hair.

Alder's hair symbolizes sun because it resembles Volcarona's wings. If Akuroma's hair is crescent, there's serious chance he might replace Alder.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 15th, 2012 8:11 AM

0_o Why did I put gym leader, I meant to say Champion xD
Yeah the moon and his hair's color scheme which makes me think of Cressilia ,a pokemon that represents the cresent moon pretty much seems to establish a moon theme for him. Perhaps he has a Zoroark!

Aquarius1997 June 15th, 2012 8:20 AM

If Akuroma endsup to be a Champ, Alder would be reduced down in importance maybe a helpful character or a GYM LEADER

This sould similer to a certain generation where a champion was replaced by a scientist . . . WAIT!!!

More references to the hoenn remakes

Remember how Steven in Emerald was a scientist(kind of) that replaced wallace,a champ, and reduced him into a gym leader

I think Akuroma would become a Champ and Alder would be reduced to a gym leader(possibly fire)

Lol, that was completely differently done. Wallace was promoted and replaced Steven. After that Steven became free roaming trainer. However you're right that replacing Champion could be hint into R/S remakes appearing in gen 5.

Similar thing could be done in B2/W2 with Akuroma replacing Alder. I think it's more suitable for Alder to be free roaming trainer.

Aquarius1997 June 15th, 2012 8:55 AM

Oh
* bangs my head against wall*


If you battled Akuroma, which is bound to happen, what team do you all think he'll have

He definitly has a magnezone because in the game previews he had a magneton

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 15th, 2012 11:02 AM

I can see him having Magnezone, and Metagross, Electivile, other steel and or electric Pokemon proably.

Ho-Oh June 15th, 2012 11:03 PM

Uh I don't think he'll have Metagross. Magnezone, yeah, but Metagross... I really don't think he'll be the new Steven. So maybe he'll have a non-specific typing. :x

wombateiro June 16th, 2012 6:04 AM

He's researcher, so he might have Pokemon like Porygon-Z, Magnezone, Reuniclus, Beheeyem, Klinklang... Metagross would fit too, but it's Steven's signature Pokemon, so this one rather no.

Zayphora June 16th, 2012 6:28 AM

Derp, he might have a Lunatone or whatever the moon version of Solrock is, that'd match his hair...

wombateiro June 16th, 2012 7:45 AM

Well, Alder doesn't have Solrock, so it's not certain Akuroma would have Lunatone. Imo it's better if Solrock and Lunatone will be kept as only Tate's and Liza's signature Pokemon.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 16th, 2012 3:09 PM

I can see Polygon Z, perhaps he even has some of the fossil Pokemon. His Pokemon will proably be unnatural and/or man made to oppose Alder's Natural team.

Zayphora June 16th, 2012 3:38 PM

Maybe he'll have a Ditto. He'd be the first serious Trainer to have one, by which I mean someone other than a random Scientist by the side of the road.

Vsjester13 June 16th, 2012 4:44 PM

The one thing i'm gonna add is the fact that no matter what someones gonna get dissapointed about this character when his role is fully explaned

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 16th, 2012 5:10 PM

^ Proably since so many people have different views of him someone is bound to be wrong...unless he's a Plasma leader, who is also champion, evil, a researcher who turns good, etc.

Vsjester13 June 16th, 2012 5:16 PM

Well i know i am since my idea is that he's ethier an evil mastermind that's been pulling the strings sine B/W or he's a world renowed spy

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 16th, 2012 7:34 PM

^ That would be a totally unexpected thing...I mean pulling Ghetsis' strings...

His presence in the world Tournament (which Alder is the only champ not shown apart from Wallece), the moon theme opposite to Alder's sun look, the helping the player in the journey all make him sound likes the new Champ.

Xander Olivieri June 20th, 2012 12:01 PM

Well with Bulbapedia finally updating their site with the Dengeki Magazine's review, They list Alder as still the Champion of Unova, so its hard to say that Akuroma is the new Champion. Kinda need for the game to release I guess to verify either claim.

Boarbeque June 20th, 2012 2:13 PM

I would say he is probably working under or secretly controlling Ghetsis. That being sad, he is probably just a big boss to fight rather than a Champion.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 20th, 2012 3:28 PM

Well that blew that theory up unless this is another Bianca is champ kind of rumor but I doubt it.
Akuroma could be part of the international police aka a better version of Looker. Perhaps he pretends he joins Plasma to ruin their plans from the inside.

potent445 June 21st, 2012 5:36 AM

Apparently he's a team plasma boss. Thats whats said on serebii. Found a photo as well

PaxAmericana June 21st, 2012 5:38 AM

Here's Serebii's posts:

Spoiler:
14:23: Achroma is confirmed as a Plasma Boss
14:26; Achroma's team: Magneton Level 50, Magnezone Level 50, Metang Level 50, Beeheeyem Level 50, Klinklang Level 52


His team is really steel and psychic heavy, but it seems to be a moderate challenge nonetheless.

PlatinumDude June 21st, 2012 5:39 AM

I knew that Akuroma was involved with Team Plasma all along...but still, in the trailer, didn't he say that Team Plasma's ideals were wrong? (unless he has own ideals)

Perriechu June 21st, 2012 5:43 AM

Lmao I always thought he was Plasma's boss anyway? Oh well.

Ew @his team though.

PaxAmericana June 21st, 2012 5:50 AM

His team matches him well, though. Steel and Psychic types fit his character design and it just seems like he would have them types of pokemon.

But yeah, that's quite weird. He could mean the other Team Plasma tho, or try to fool you like Ghetsis!

PaxAmericana June 21st, 2012 6:59 AM

Here's a little more info on Achroma:
Spoiler:
Achroma, when first battled, has got Klink and a Magneton

Xander Olivieri June 21st, 2012 7:01 AM

He could be talking about the Stealing Pokemon to release them and creating an ideal world for Pokemon thing that N was trying to do seeing as Akuroma is Leader of the Black Beret Plasmas who are stealing Pokemon to take over the world (Team Rocket much?)

Kenshin5 June 21st, 2012 7:12 AM

Yeah I am pretty sure Akuroma was alluding to Knight Plasma. And talk about this being one of the most predictable things we have ever had.

Aquarius1997 June 21st, 2012 7:13 AM

Serebii also said you battle Ghetsis too,so its still probable that the black berets and the knights are owned by different leaders, also supporting this is the picture that showed ghetsis next to kyurem if Ghetsis is next to kyurem the main point in the game where is akuroma

Jellicent♀ June 21st, 2012 8:23 AM

I KNEW HE WAS EVIL.
His team is just...ok. Like, predictable, and yet icky at the same time. It's as if they tried to give him every steel type possible and yet make him seem like a scientist at them same time.

Nepse June 21st, 2012 8:52 AM

I hope his Metang holds an eviolite, otherwise it would just be silly for him not to have a Metagross.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 21st, 2012 9:12 AM

Wow predictable sigh I hoped they would've subverted this...
His team sounds alright, it fits him quite well.

Aquarius1997 June 21st, 2012 9:26 AM

His team fits quite well with his character i dont know why people hate his team
I posted this in the team plasma speculation thread but it fits here too

I'm not 100% up to date on the Plasma information that has been released, but it'd seem that Old Plasma are against New Plasma, thus they are looking to do good rather than evil.
That screenshot is certainly interesting; I'm going to assume that N is definitely against Ghetsis

OMFG i know the story

Old plasma ruled by ghetsis
While new plasme is awaiting Ns return but Akuroma has took the the place as the leader
Thats why he said he opposes team plasmas ideals he despises ghetsis' team ideals
It all makes since now

bwburke94 June 21st, 2012 11:13 AM

As soon as we saw his name, it was obvious. Remember what it means in Japanese.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 21st, 2012 11:17 AM

Colorless so I'm guessing He wants there to be no Black or White, nor Grey morality?
Or the Akuma in it meaning demon which yeah pretty evil give away xD
So is he the leader of Black plasma as predicted?

Zayphora June 21st, 2012 3:16 PM

What if Ghetsis is, like, a loner or something, and maybe he's not running Black Plasma after all? That would let Akuroma be the leader of Black Plasma.

In terms of predictability, this was so predicted by so many people, it's a wonder it wasn't agreed on sooner.

Cosmotone8 June 21st, 2012 4:32 PM

Well maybe he is the leader of new team plasma and ghetsis is leader of old plasma still. On serebii it showed that they split up into two teams, so that's a high possibility. Especially since your supposed to battle ghetsis too. Maybe N is good and helps you defeat the two teams. He did seem to show some signs of being good towards the end of BW

Well some of us wanted for him not to be so obvious, turned out our hopes were crushed...

No, I was saying that N betrays Plasma and helps you in the end. Guess I should've said that in my original post, lol.
But you never found Ghetsis in BW, so how can you say that he's gone? Maybe he came back, you never know. In any case, we'll find out in a day or so.

I want to know how Akuroma came into power of the split Plasma group...in the case he made it out of scratch why didn't he name it something else?

Cosmotone8 June 22nd, 2012 2:06 PM

Maybe he was Ghetsis's lead scientist/researcher, then went rogue and got other grunts to follow him. Since he was already in such power.YES I AM STILL CLINGING TO GHETSIS

mikey June 22nd, 2012 2:08 PM

I knew he would have something to do with Plasma. I mean, look at the guy. He looks like a Plasma guy xD

droomph June 22nd, 2012 3:28 PM

Also, apart from any solid evidence, doesn't he just sound like the "heh heh heh" kind of guy? Like Vaati's laugh in the Minish Cap game? I dunno about you but I hear that every time I think of Akuroma. And that's the perfect villain mood.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 23rd, 2012 6:34 AM

I feel like they should've given this guy more story. By the looks of it he doesn't have much of a background.
By the way what became of the Shadow triad post game?

Raichupacabra June 29th, 2012 2:09 AM

He came out of nowhere. I'm guessing we need to wait for the games to come out in languages we can read so we fully understand where this guy came from.

bwburke94 June 29th, 2012 10:24 AM

So this guy's named Corless in the English translation. Apparently pronounced with the second syllable stressed. Not sure what the heck that name's supposed to mean, but it isn't as obviously a "villain" name like in Japanese.

SouKoLian9102 June 30th, 2012 4:20 AM

Apparently 'Corless' (whatisthisidonteven) regrets what he did as shown in post game where you can rebattle him. Out of the goodness in his heart he'll give you a Master Ball.
Dude needs more backstory, though.

Never got to express my excitement, but I'm so happy we get to battle Corless. Like, his team is pretty neat, and I love that he sees his mistakes and wants to make up for them. Plus, his team at the very end is just so cool. I love that his Magneton has an Eviolite.

Apparently 'Corless' (whatisthisidonteven) regrets what he did as shown in post game where you can rebattle him. Out of the goodness in his heart he'll give you a Master Ball.

I agree, where did he even come from? He seems to have come out of no where.

I'm glad that they made him repent though, that means all evil leaders but Cyrus, and possibly Ghetsis haven't repend.

He's one of the few leaders to actually see the error of their ways. N still thinks he's innocent even though he destroyed the fabric of the region in the process, Ghetsis is just a bad dude, Cyrus was too involved with himself and his obsession, and Giovanni is just cray cray.

Corless actually sees he did something wrong and wants to make up for it, which is a nice change of pace. Finally a boss that wants to make the world smile, instead of tremble. I like Corless a lot more now because of this. c:

^ What about Archie and Maxie...they saw their plans were horrible and seemed to have completely given them up.

I do like that Akuroma changed and that they actually show him post game too unlike the aforementioned A and M who simply left never to be seen...
I like his post Plasma team better than his Plasma team too.

About A and M, they decided that they were gonna get killed by pursuing their dreams so that's what happened. It's truly nice to see a guy who doesn't want to be an ******* just because he doesn't wanna be one.

THIS GAME IS GONNA ROCK.

I'm playing the japanese version now and thanks to tumblr i'm already pairing him up with Homika. Altho he seems to be the kind of guy that doesn't do evil because he's evil, he does evil for science, for the sake of his research. I also have a theory that he may have done those bad things because he had no other choice. BTW his teams: awesome, magnetzone and Rotom is just perfect...altho the problem is that he based his team on only one attribute, if you had a fire type pokemon you pretty much won the battle before it started.

Zayphora July 23rd, 2012 1:27 PM

Okay this is random but who else sees similarities between Akuroma's hair and the Highmark corporate logo? Lol.

Twilight-kun July 24th, 2012 12:16 PM

typical unethical scientist who lets nothing get in the way of his pokemon research, and joining Team Plasma simply lets him have access to a lot of sophisticated equipment

kohei August 19th, 2012 12:33 AM

I won't call him unethical. Just curious, caught up in his theories.

I still think Ghetis is bad at managing human resources though.
What kind of leader appoints a man who just joined a group as one of its officers?

ReshZek200 August 19th, 2012 1:35 PM

I love the villain/hero -at post game- named Corless/Akuroma.... He is epic!

BlueRocky August 23rd, 2012 8:58 AM

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but since his "mascot" pokemon appears to Magneton, even in the anime, the evolution sequence of Magnemite to Magneton in the anime involves three Magnemite coming together to form the Magneton. If I remember properly, plasma involves atoms separating...the specifics I am not sure of. XP

Maybe Corless's Magneton is capable of splitting apart into three Magnemite (not in-game, of course), or signifies "Plasma", as Ghetsis's plan is not the true intention of Team Plasma?

Corless, being the new leader of the Old Team Plasma, may possibly be stated that he is the leader of a team who's intention is/was to release Pokemon rather than to battle. This plan also represents Plasma - separating Pokemon from Humans, if that even makes sense in an analogy to real plasma.

All of this may have already been covered here or is too much a stretch. Either way, just felt like getting the words out of my mind and onto the computer. :3

No he's not. He is an old friend of Ghetsis who was brought into Team Plasma (The black clothed ones) to assist Ghetsis in making the Plasma Frigate, studying how to strengthen Pokemon (His DNA Pins for Kyurem), and to study Kyurem.

When you defeat Plasma, Colress stays incharge of the small group that was with him and docks somewhere for you to battle him. He just never agree'd with Plasma's ideals to begin with. He was only interested in assisting them because it played a part in his actual research on the Strengths of Pokemon.

He doesn't have any affiliation with the White Knight Plasma members.
