CoroCoro reveals identity of the legendary forms
 
This month's issue of CoroCoro has started to leak and has revealed the names of the forms on the boxarts. The Solgaleo form is called "Necrozma Mane of Twilight". Lunala's form is called "Necrozma Wings of Dawn". They both have the signature moves of Solagelo & Lunala respectively.

Scan #1

Scan #2


Updating as more news/scans come through.

Hmm i saw the box arts, but I thought they had already been out. Nice to finally have some info about the forms.... Let me see if I can get and post a picture of box arts.

Ok both of these are from Amazon. Ok resized. Should be smaller now.

Looks like I was right with my theory that they were indeed fusions! Definitely reminds me of Black and White Kyurem.

Kinda annoyed that it's another minor piece, and it seems likely the Direct may only cover the English names of these forms.

Altairis September 12th, 2017 4:31 AM

hmm "definitely not related to necrozma" amirite

sounds pretty cool, but what I'm really hoping for is an explanation as to why they're fusing in the first place... I don't expect this from CoroCoro obvs but in-game there better be one >.>

I think it's interesting that Solgaleo's name has Twilight and not Dusk in it.. "twilight" can mean both dawn and dusk while "dusk" refers to the day -> night change only. they should have switched the words for this form and Lycanroc's cause I would assume they meant half-light (not specifically day -> night) for Lycanroc but I'm sure they meant true dusk to apply to Solgaleo.

edit: so dumb of course this is the japanese transliteration so i hope the english one gets this right

Well remember, we have like 3 blank spaces on that one site that said merchandise would be raveled on the 29th. They said it didn't say anything about Solgaleo and Lunala, but since these are considered Necrozma, that might be what we get, but we still have that 1 space... I think there was 3 spaces left.

I am glad we got confirmation about it being similar to BW2. Hopefully that means the storyline will be a type of alternative continuation or something.

The edge is cringeworthy.

Pokken Lucario September 12th, 2017 5:05 AM

Finally some info..
if solgaleo is twilight and lunala is dawn maybe we still can get a dawn lycanroc.

Lycanroc Dusk Form is called Twilight Form in Japanese, which can mean both dawn and dusk.

Japanese are weird.

Maybe the English names of the forms will be changed to something that makes more sense.

i hope we will get english names in the direct.

Pyrax September 12th, 2017 7:07 AM

So we now have confirmation of those two being Necrozma forms, and we even have names for them. That's something until next month, at least.

If we get USM news in the direct.

janejane6178 September 12th, 2017 7:17 AM

Well, except for the new forms names, nothing new was revealed. *sigh*

Pinkie-Dawn September 12th, 2017 7:22 AM

The names of the forms sound more like subtitles than actual names.

BadSamaritan September 12th, 2017 9:01 AM

I don't like that the designs for both have more Lunala/Solgaleo in them than they do Necrozma, if they are actually forms of Necrozma.

Regardless, I like the names. Gamefreak always tries to mix stuff up to keep it fresh, so the longer names don't bother me.

There's going to be a Nintendo Direct soon?

Yes. This one's going to be around 45 minutes long, so there'll be a lot of games covered.

Alexander18 September 12th, 2017 11:22 AM

So all we got names and confirmation of the necrozma forms? Sorry but that is not good enough. I am not satisfied by this small news. We might as well have gotten nothing. When are we actually gonna get proper news? I doubt direct have anything interesting. Corocoro is a let down.

Awesome :D!

Well, my expectations for new Pokemon SM news are small. Usually Nintendo Directs that aren't Pokemon Directs tend to have very little new main game Pokemon news, if any at all.

thedestinedblade September 12th, 2017 11:48 AM

I've lost hope for new Alola forms, but give us something! BW2 had more info revealed around the same time. Stuff like old pokemon returning, new gyms and gym leaders, facilities and areas, new protagonists, new enemies and a new rival were all talked about.

Kartanaheart September 12th, 2017 12:35 PM

I like that these are Necrozma forms and not Solgaleo/Lunala forms. My only disappointment is that it seems to just be another fusion like Black/White Kyurem.

I was hoping for a concept that those "forms" were not them fused, but Necrozma splitting and reconstructing its body and refracting light like a prism to imitate Solgaleo/Lunala, which is why they look..like they're made of light. It would add a nice trick to Necrozma which would make me love it even more!

jombii September 12th, 2017 2:10 PM

the edge!

this sounds like pokemon's emo phase.

I wouldn't quite yet. This is just corocoro and Gamefreak has given them nothing but scraps ever since BW. It's not the media outlet it was for them in the past. So once the release date gets closer, I can guarantee they'll start shoving out the big news via youtube just like they have with XY and SuMo.

And given that Alolan's are indeed just other forms, and not "new" pokemon, I'd be willing to bet USumo will have them. Like, you know they have to have a boatload of designs that didn't make the cut for the original titles. Many of them probably for non-kanto pokemon.

User19sq September 12th, 2017 2:25 PM

I'm still confused as to whether these new forms are considered Necrozma, or Solgaleo/Lunala. I hope we get a super-definitive answer soon, cuz it sounds like they're Necrozma, but appear to be the latter.

Notice that Necrozma is taking their power, and turning it into a hard-light like form.
