CoroCoro has come out and it just repeats the information about Dusk form Lycanroc. It does confirm, however, that this form will be available after a special distribution of Rockruff after the new games are released. Aside from that, it doesn't give much except for the type: Rock. That's okay. I'm sure we'll get a trailer at some point- oh look, the Japanese Pokémon YouTube channel has posted a trailer. And it just repeats the Dusk form reveal... so to recap: we've had 3 pieces of official news and they all say the same thing. Well, at least the trailer can give us something to study. I will give my thoughts on that instead of repeating the same information again.
Okay, first of all, the HP bars seemed to have been redesigned. I don't think I like it. I prefer the original Sun/Moon design with the bright splash of color behind it. Still, this is minor so it's okay. The battle background is vibrant and colorful which is just like the gameplay shown in the initial reveal trailer. The wild battle music is awesome - a much more upbeat version of the original. This change I definitely like. Aside from that, there isn't really much to go on. Please keep in mind that this trailer is in Japanese and that as I am writing this, there isn't an English trailer out yet. If you want to see the Japanese trailer, you can see it here.
As you can see, it's not much. Hopefully, we'll get an English trailer soon but I don't want to post on the same news again so I probably won't post on it (unless there is something new in it to discuss). Speaking of discussion, some new 'leaks' have been circulating and I want to discuss those too. First is Alolan Piloswine and Swinub. You can see the images here if you like. I hate to link to Twitter but it was the best link that I could find for the image. I don't think this is legit but I do like the idea. Alolan Swinub is adorable and Alolan Piloswine looks like a pineapple which is hilarious. Again, I doubt this is legit but it still feels like a good subject for discussion. I guess they are supposed to be Grass type instead of Ice type? I wonder what Mamoswine would look like... probably as goofy as Piloswine.
The other leak is about a possible Mimikyu form. You can see the leak here. This leak holds more weight but let me explain first. I say it has weight because of the initial reveal trailer for the new games. Among the quick bits of animation, there is animation of Mimikyu and it looks like you can see its eyes. This means there is a possibility of finally getting a new Mimikyu form. However, I don't think this leak is legit and that if we get a new form, it will not be Mimikyu's true appearance. If you read its Pokédex entries, you would know that seeing its true form would kill you. So, I think Mimikyu is just going to get a new 'disguise'. If not, then the animation I am referencing is possibly a Z-move animation. Anyway, I do hope for a Mimikyu disguise change - there are literally thousands of options. Imagine a Caterpie Mimikyu or a Squirtle Mimikyu. It would be awesome. As long as Mimikyu gets some sort of love, I will be happy.
Okay, that's all I have for now. Again, aside from the Dusk form Lycanroc, the rest is probably very fake but no less noteworthy. If anything, they give great ideas to consider and discuss until we get some actual news. What do you think of all of this? Leave a comment below telling me your thoughts on the official news and the leaks. Do you like it? Do you want it? Do these seem fake or legit? Did I miss anything? Either way, we can only wait until Game Freak decides to release more information. Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!
