CoroCoro Leaks New X & Y Info + New Pokémon

[Demelza]

While we already may have had a ton of information thanks to the E3 Pokémon X and Pokémon Y presentation and the E3 Nintendo Direct Broadcast, that hasn't stopped a load more showing up this afternoon in the form of Japanese magazine CoroCoro leaking. The leaks have revealed a further four new Pokémon, as well as the first Kalos Gym Leader and the name of the town we begin our adventure in.

First off the CoroCoro leaks have revealed four brand new Pokémon, who are as follows:

We have Shisiko, who is a Fire and Normal Type Pokémon, meant to be a small lion cub Pokémon, and knows a new move called Battle Cry which lowers the target's Attack stat.

Next up we have Furabebe, who is a pure Fairy Type Pokémon and can learn the Fairy Type move Fairy Wind.

The two pre-evolved forms of Vivillon, Kofuurai and Kofukimushi, have also been revealed through CoroCoro. Both are pure bug types.

The first Kalos Gym Leader has been revealed to be a Bug Type Gym found in Hakudan City. The Gym Leader is called Viola. It seems as though her Gym will be the one to feature the spider web puzzle we saw in the first trailer for Pokémon X andPokémon Y. On the scan below Viola is on the right, while the character on the left is called Pansy, who will be featured in an episode of the Pokémon anime along with Helioptile and Gogoat on the 18th of July. Helioptile and Gogoat will be the first of the sixth generation Pokémon to be included in the TV series.

​

The final scan shows off Tieruno, Toroba, and Sana who are all childhood friends of ours and live in the starting town called Asame Town. It has also been mentioned that the player will have a Rhyhorn living in their front garden. Dialogue boxes are seemingly colour coded to help players keep track of who is speaking if there are a number of characters around.

​

That's all the information we have for now, however it's worth keeping in mind that CoroCoro only started leaking this afternoon, so there could be more information to come!

I keep throwing my money at the computer screen so why am I not getting X&Y already? D:

Seriously, I think this is the most excited I've ever been for a new Pokemon game. DP and BW were intriguing to me but usually I only get this worked up over Kingdom Hearts games.

I like how Shishiko is Normal/Fire-type since we don't have many Normal duel-types that aren't part Flying. When I first saw Furabebe I thought Grass-type so Grass/Fairy maybe?

Yay! A legit lion Pokemon! I'm also very excited about these games and wish October would just get here already. We have some very nice character designs so far so I'm hoping they stay away from Gen V's over complicated designs.

What was wrong with Shinx? :x

I'm very glad that we're finally building a real picture of these games, and there are -thankfully- a number of new features that ought to really define this game as the best Pokemon game yet.

... However. With the by-the-numbers Pokemon archetypes that a few of the most recent have fallen into (in what is, really, a very Gen III way) and the fact nothing introduced really affects the core game progression (which, after nearly 20 years, would be about time), I'm still a bit weary about congratulating GameFreak on their continued slow-drip of advancement in the series.

There's no question that X/Y will be the best Pokemon game in the series to date when it comes out, and easily one of the best on the 3DS, but will it really redefine the series, or just continue to slowly polish the edges? I'd like to see more, but at the very least, all that I am seeing is very, very good.

Though I am almost at the point where it just needs to be October, and every further piece of information is just a pained reminder that it isn't. (Followed quickly by another pained reminder of how expensive the end of this year is).

I don't really know how I feel about Shisiko... More than likely the final evo will amaze me, but the Normal/Fire typing just seems unnecessary. I mean, yeah, it can't be hit by Ghost moves, but that opens it up to Fighting type weaknesses. Maybe Normal will be super effective against Fairy? Oh well. Other than that I want to cuddle with Kofukimushi~ It's adorableeeee

I also like the alignment of characters, particularly Pansy and Sana~ Could Pansy be the champion? Or just some really important character? Either way I like her, and Sana looks like she's the really hyper and airheaded girl of the group. Though, I really REALLY hope that that none of these characters are the main rival/rival. The person of the opposite gender will more than likely be a rival, but I just can't see these guys being more than just cheerleaders...er... best friends. Maybe that's just me...

Other than that I love how much information is being released~ It's certainly filling the void where the actual game would be for now. More than likely Pokemon Smash will talk about the same stuff on the 16th, but who knows, maybe there'll be more revealed then~
