What next?
 
When do you guys think GF will release new information? will they wait, or make it soon?

EC February 28th, 2016 8:05 PM

Probably the next CoroCoro. Unless the next CoroCoro is just "hey, these games were announced, stay tuned to the next issue for more information!".

Hikamaru February 28th, 2016 9:27 PM

I am probably expecting the next CoroCoro to share our first piece of official information, presumably expecting the starters, mascot legendaries and maybe the protagonist designs as well.

Kameken February 28th, 2016 9:33 PM

As long as we get a taste of the new pokemon, I'll be happy, even if it's just a silhouette of the starters. I'm also guessing they'll give a bit of a hint as to the region, whether it's a name or just some information on what culture it's based on.

pkmin3033 February 29th, 2016 6:20 AM

I expect the primary source of information will be CoroCoro until E3...considering this is going to be a late 2016 release, Nintendo need to stagger information across at least six months, so I can't see any huge releases coming for at least another two months. Monthly Pokemon Directs for those of us who don't have access to CoroCoro would be lovely, but the chances of that happening are pretty slim, I think.

esperance February 29th, 2016 6:42 AM

Well the games won't be released until presumable December of this year (assuming that's what "holidays 2016" refers to), so they have to keep interest in the games for ten months... They'll probably wait a bit before slowly introducing small bits of information as we get closer to the release.

Hikamaru February 29th, 2016 6:45 AM

As Meloetta said, it's mainly CoroCoro that will be dropping info, and likely expect more to be showcased at E3 as well. Probably a few new Pokemon might be shared at E3, since I know that was what happened with XY, revealing not just Fairy-type but some new 6th Gen Pokemon as well.

jombii February 29th, 2016 6:56 AM

I think we'll get something at the very least in next coro-coro. It's probably just some screenshots without the next reveal. May Issue will probably when the news will start popping out.

Pokemon_Hero February 29th, 2016 7:39 AM

Probably in April there'll be information about Volcanion/Magiana's new forms.

The next info about S/M will be in May/June E3

Pinkie-Dawn February 29th, 2016 7:43 AM

They'll show off new information through CoroCoro issues, the E3 conference, and that Sunday Pokemon game show.

Desert Stream~ February 29th, 2016 1:48 PM

Corocoro is a magazine then? I should check it out :D

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 29th, 2016 1:53 PM

We should get something within the next two weeks, or at least I hope it's more than a name reveal from corocoro...
Actually we should expect leaks by the end of next week as Sunday falls on the 13th and we usually get leaks around that time or earlier.

Hi, just want to comment on a part of what you have said. Since the time presented is almost always based on Retail holiday, Holiday 2016 is a very broad spectrum that starts mid-late October (usually third week) to Early-Mid January (End of the first full week). So realistically these games have a projected release range of October 18th to December 27th (Keeping it within 2016). They'd make the most sales releasing 1 to 2 weeks early of Black Friday putting it around November 8th or November 15th, though they have been known to release the week of Black Friday so November 22nd.

Please note, these are all Tuesdays, which are typical video game release days, though Nintendo does not always have a typical release and have released on Fridays and Sundays before as well. So we have mid October to December.

Basic news release is usually through CoroCoro so around the 10th to the 15th of every month we'll have to see what we get. Next issue should have as much as the Game titles, with maybe a chance at a new Pokemon or screenshot previews, though the latter isn't a promised guarantee. Following that, we should start to see new Pokemon, characters or concepts that are new to Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon start to show up. May CoroCoro (the one released in April) holds the better chance for new info IMO.

MarinoKadame February 29th, 2016 7:11 PM

Well considering Xy came out in October you are not that far away.

Yeah, it's a magazine in Japan which talks about games, anime and manga news (maybe other things too). It's been a frequent source of Pokemon news. Around the 15th each month, and we often get leaks of it roughly a few days beforehand.

That said, we don't always get Pokemon info from it, and I wouldn't necessarily bank on getting it this month too. Still maybe up to 10 months left before the game comes out after all, so don't get too excited. We shall see though!

The Pokemon TV show they do in Japan each week (idk if it airs 52 weeks a year though) would be another potential source of news. Beyond that they can always share news on the official website and/or via video releases (see XY mega info for example), but there's no given schedule so you can't really prepare for those releases of information.

firekid115 February 29th, 2016 8:37 PM

I really hope we get something in two weeks from corocoro. It strikes me as odd they didn't reveal anything when they were willing to show off so much in the debut trailer for X/Y.

On the other hand, it may have been the XY reveal that was odd. =p Go back a gen for instance; gen 5 was announced through a silhouette of Zoroark, likewise of the starters, and only after of the cover legendaries and the name of the games. There was no in-depth trailer for a while. We also knew of gen four via Lucario and other Pokemon well before Diamond and Pearl were announced.

Ho-Oh March 1st, 2016 4:48 AM

I don't expect us to get much until May personally. Maybe some screenshots from CoroCoro, but May generally has been an open day for things in the past from what I can remember. It'll only be roughly five or so months away from the game then, so after then they can slowly pour out information. I do expect them to give us at least a little in the next month or so, in order for any of us not to lose interest (not that we will, but for it to remain at the forefront of our minds).

Sopheria March 1st, 2016 5:28 AM

I'm thinking we'll see some new Pokémon next, perhaps the starters, the mascot legendaries, and maybe some concept art of the playable characters too. Corocoro seems like it'll be the most likely source of information, but maybe we'll get a trailer or some gameplay footage at some later time too.

Pokemon_Hero March 1st, 2016 5:53 AM

To sum up what I think is going to be in the 2016 CoroCoro, according to X/Y's 2013, most likely this:

March: nothing (title only)
April: Movie details
May: Legendaries/starters
June: New pokemon/Region Map
July: Proffessor/Main Characters/New pokemon
August: The new Mega evolution
September: New pokemon/new bad team
October: Starter's 2nd/ 3rd evolution
November: Last Corocoro, new pokemon

Hikamaru March 1st, 2016 7:43 AM

I mostly agree with Sopheria's prediction. I think the next CoroCoro will likely reveal the starters, mascot legendaries and maybe the protagonists. Then maybe the following months will reveal more new Pokemon, the professor, villain team and other notable new features.

Sabrewulf238 March 2nd, 2016 10:08 AM

It seems unlikely that we'd get a trailer for Sun & Moon in the upcoming direct...

but I suppose stranger things have happened. I wouldn't be holding my breath though.

I think it unlikely we'll get a trailer too, unfortunately; it's supposed to be focusing on upcoming summer releases, and they've set a Holiday 2016 release date for it. A snippet at the end - like a dramatic flash with some sort of silhouette of what may or may not be a mascot Legendary - is probably about all we could hope for.

...well, as long as I get a DQVII release date out of the direct I'll be happy with it.

October: Starter's 2nd/ 3rd evolution
November: Last Corocoro, new pokemon

It's rumored that the release date will be October 28th. If that's true then I see this:
March: Starters, some new mons (most likely the mascots), region name, maybe a map
April: Regional Rodent, and bird if they're not amongst those included in March.
May: Some random new Pokemon and map if it's not shown earlier. Some Megas
June: New Volcanion forme, or more details on Magearna. A mega or two
July: Even more details on Volcanion and Magearna. Perhaps a mention of Volcanion possibly unlocking Magearna's event. Starter's 2nd evolutions
August: Evil team. Megas of the leaders
September: starters 3rd evolutions
October: Last Corocoro, summary. Maybe a few last minute megas, or a number of how many Pokemon they might be, like _+ instead of the actual number.

Based on patterns from 2013 in the lead-up to XY's release, I speculate this may be the pattern of info revealed. I wouldn't be so sure about a new Volcanion form, but maybe a possible meaning of how it could play in the possible Magearna event.
