[Pinkie-Dawn]

Rumor to sink your teeth into.

Another rumor popped up on 4chan awhile ago, this one is less "ambitious" than the previous one I brought up, but slightly more believable as it deals with the Movie 16 "hidden Pokemon".

————————

"This information was sent to me from a correspondent in Japan, who has obtained early information on what the next issue of CoroCoro will obtain, which focuses on Movie 16. This is a transcript of the information he provided me with.

First off, CoroCoro this issue mainly focuses on the star of Movie 16 alongside Genesect, the Superman Pokemon "Duskaman". Duskaman is the romanized name that appears in CoroCoro (and will probably be similar to the English name like previous stars), and its raw Japanese name is Dasukaman (ダスカマン). Here is the information CoroCoro provides:

Species: "Superman" (Choujin ちょうじん) Pokemon.
Type: Dark/Fighting
Height: 1.9m
Weight: 78.4kg

My correspondent describes it looking very humanoid, with its main stream-lined body being mostly black apart from its white face, white hands, and white feet, and the front of its chest which has a red circle on its chest and another red crescent below it. It has horns on its head which fold back in a "V" shape, and it has a red Mohawk that comes from the back of its head and crosses between the horns and sticks out in the front. It has rather dull looking eyes, semi-circles with little black pupils in them. Finally, it has two red streamers coming from its back that resembles a scarf, but another picture of Duskaman shows that they can transform into wings.

There is the official Sugimori Art included, showing it striking a "Henshin"-style pose, and pictures of it drawn in anime form, including one showing how its scarf transforms into wings. There is also artwork showing it in winged-form flying away from the Genesect Army, as well as Ash and Iris riding Charizard and Dragonite and battling alongside him. CoroCoro talks about how Duskaman is the "night savior of the city", and appears in a flash of crimson red to battle against the leader of the Genesect. There seems to be a connection between the two Pokemon as they're both described as being crimson red. The new title is roughly "The Extreme Speed Genesect X Superman Duskaman (神速のゲノセクトX超人ダスカマン). The X is actually shining blue, resembling the Pokemon X logo, interestingly enough, while Genesect and Duskaman's names are colored red.

Next issue promises more information on the film, and hints at revealing another Pokemon (unknown if it's in the Movie, the Mini-Movie, or X/Y).

In terms of X/Y information, this issue is very sparse apart from showing the official artwork of the male and female protagonists, and some more screen-shots of them walking around the Paris-styled town, including visiting what appears to be a museum, standing atop the Eiffel Tower-like structure showing a nice view of the of the region, and walking alongside a beach. There's also a look at the new battle screen, which shows that the HP Bars now appear on the bottom screen with little Boxsprites of the Pokemon next to them, and there's two new buttons available as well on the menu which is "Call" and "P-Link", although it doesn't explain what these functions are for yet. There are a few battle pictures of the Starters battling, and also shows that Spoink and Paras are in."

Actually sounds believable. Love the Pokemon's typing, will definitely use it if it's real. Though the Pokemon sounds a lot like the Steel/Dark Power Ranger from Unova.

Oh wait Scraggy etc. I used it though, shows I like the typing haha

But I'm iffy about the protagonists thing because I'm still holding out for player customization meaning that there won't be protagonists art this generation.

Spoiler:

Duskaman? Dark/Fighting? Night savior of the city? It's official, the Dark type specialist is going to be a Batman expy.

 

[Ho-Oh]

I like that rumour a lot. I also really like the name of said Pokemon in Japanese, tbh. I want it to be real (and idk it just -seems- likely?) Also even with customisation, protagonists still should have main artwork though imo. They can probably just change their clothing in regards to customisation. :x

 

[Cyclone]

Everyone seems convinced that there is an Eeveelution being hinted at. I want to point out something to help discourage possible disappointment: nothing is confirmed yet. Rather than speculate about this Eeveelution that some are absolutely certain is coming from this Japanese series I can't watch (nor would I understand it if I did), wait for them to at least ANNOUNCE that there is an Eeveelution coming. When they do that, THEN is the time to speculate about what it could be. At this point, many of you are setting yourselves up for absolute disappointment when the Eeveelution doesn't materialize.

Wait for news, THEN speculate.

Cyclone

 

[Ho-Oh]

Nothing wrong with speculation in the X and Y chat and speculation thread imo. ;)

Plus if we want things hard enough they happen, or at least GF might see our pleas!

 

[vaporeon7]

I agree with Nica, the whole point of this thread is to speculate anything that may happen. If we were to limit it to what we already have confirmed, we would have very little to talk about. Also, in more agreeance (okay, so that isn't a word but...), GameFreak might take more notice if heaps of people want something.

 

[Mujahid]

I am really disappointed with the lack of news. Now, i don't want a massive reveal yet but it's starting to dull out a little.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

But I'm iffy about the protagonists thing because I'm still holding out for player customization meaning that there won't be protagonists art this generation.

They could always have art for the default looks. It could be what is considered canon (so they'll show up in the anime or be referenced in later games) but you can still customize them.

 

[vaporeon7]

I am really disappointed with the lack of news. Now, i don't want a massive reveal yet but it's starting to dull out a little.

I agree, they should just release a little something to give use more to talk about.

Hm... the rumor does actually sound more believable, but even if this does confirm that it's true, it won't be an Eeveelution. It'll be something more like how Lucario and Zoroark was like.

It would be nice for something like that to happen, but unfortunately anything that comes from 4chan is usually false. I remember the day when they revealed a screenshot of the English Pokémon names in the Pokédex with names like "Boarbecue" and stuff in Black/White.

There are some people on 4chan that do indeed love to spread rumors that they're imagining inside their head, they probably can't stop themselves and just love to speak out their imagination... which is nice, but I would appreciate it if those people said that they were speculating rather than claiming that they know about it.

And there will indeed be some rumors that the people would have worked really hard to make it seem like the real deal.

And wait, Charizard?! I have never seen Charizard in a movie since during the original series.

But anyways, if this does confirm to be true, then by the time the next CoroCoro is released, it'll appear on the official English Pokémon X and Pokémon Y website.

 

[blue]

That rumor sounds interesting but I'm finding it hard to believe, especially with all those other rumors we had prior to the announcement.

 

[Mark Kamill]

That rumor is interesting, to say the least. I do like the sound of the Pokemon, its kinda like what they did with the Pawniard line, giving us a Human-esque design coupled with a very strong Kamen Rider reference. I do believe the juiciest bit of that rumor is the bottom screen, as the HP going down there sounds quite exciting, and I wonder what the P-Link is. Maybe its that bonding feature Masuda referenced? Like your Pokemon bonds allow for a stronger attack or something, like gang up...

 

[vaporeon7]

That rumor sounds interesting but I'm finding it hard to believe, especially with all those other rumors we had prior to the announcement.

I find it hard to believe as well. Fun to speculate about though.

 

[SpitfireYoshi]

What would be the type of the new eeveelution if their is one? Dragon? Fighting? Bug? Steel? Rock? They all sound weird for eevee. Only good ones would either be flying or ghost...

 

[vaporeon7]

I don't think steel, rock, ground or poison sound too weird. Bug is on the other hand.

 

[Cyclone]

It's from 4chan. I take information from there with a grain of sugar.

Cyclone

 

[Ho-Oh]

Well despite it being from 4chan, this one does sound a little more likely than previous ones. :x

 

[François2]

You know, if that rumour is real, it might be the knight thing seen in that statue outside that castle-type building? You know, the one with the Eevee and stuff.

 

[scorched4lif]

has anyone wondered what the new battle mechanic Nintendo mention about the bond between your Pokemon will make it stronger will actually do

Like your Pokemon bonds allow for a stronger attack or something, like gang up...

Even if this rumor does turn out false, I still believe the HP Bar being moved to the lower screen is a likely possibility.

Well despite it being from 4chan, this one does sound a little more likely than previous ones. :x

Perhaps one could say it sounds a little too likely?

 

[Mujahid]

Yup, not trusting it. Has any 4chan rumor EVER proven true ? They've had some likely ones in the past too.
