While I definitely want Sylveon's type to be revealed, what I hope we get is the starter pokemon's evolutions soon.

Re: Official CoroCoro Discussion Thread

Meh. I would rather see Sylveon's type revealed and the starter evos left a surprise until you play it.

@NoirGrimoir; I am with you, at this point, starters evolutions are way more interesting than anything related to Sylveon to me.

Re: Official CoroCoro Discussion Thread

I'd prefer this gen be like IV where no starter evolutions were revealed before release. Those ones are a lot more fun to find out as you play through, rather than know what they are going in. It makes starter selection actually a surprise because you don't know what type you'll end up with. I'm very much hoping we get types this month.

Re: Official CoroCoro Discussion Thread

I disagree, I don't want to pick a starter and end up not liking its final evolution design or typing. I'd rather know about them weeks or months before the release.

Re: Official CoroCoro Discussion Thread

I'm with Reila... though since I'm going to wait like a week after the games are out to buy them, I don't really care about the starter evos being revealed early, since they'll be on the internet soon enough after launch. :p

I'm also torn between wanting to know Sylveon's type already and wanting the hilarity of not knowing it for this long to continue. But if there's a new type, I'd like to learn about it sooner rather than later.

Re: Official CoroCoro Discussion Thread

They should reveal the second stages of the starters just shortly before release so players who want can sorta get a feel about how the final stages will turn out (and those who wouldn't want to see them wouldn't have to start their media blackout so early), but keep the final forms a secret until after the game is out. That'd be a good balance imo.

Sylveon's gonna be Fairy and it'll be revealed this issue, I think. There was never a good reason to keep an ordinary Pokemon like an Eevee evolution's type a secret anyway. I understand for Legendaries, but given Sylveon doesn't look to correspond to an existing type and it's so obvious to tell with all the other Eevee evolutions... Yeah. I'll bet money on a new type.

Personally, I just want to know the type. I don't really want to see the design or names, just the typing. That way I won't accidentally get two mons of the same type on my team.

Re: Official CoroCoro Discussion Thread

I'm hoping that Sylveon's type will be revealed too and given how the movie comes out next month, there's probably a pretty good change that they'll reveal its type in this issue. At this point, I don't even care what type it is. I just want it revealed so that speculation can just end like it should have months ago. Getting the evolved forms of the starters would be great too. Seeing what they evolve into before the games are out would help people make a choice if they're having a hard time. I'm also hoping for some details on the storyline, the Kalos region itself and the evil team. A couple of new Pokemon would be nice too.

Re: Official CoroCoro Discussion Thread

I don't want knowing the evolutions to affect my choice, but I also want to know what they look like. As a solution, I'm locking myself in for Fennekin no matter what. Now I'm free to find out the evolutions, no worries about spoilers. If I don't like my starter, it's not the end of the world (most of my team is built on impulses anyway).

I think Sylveon is most likely going to be revealed. If they don't, they'd have to in the next couple of weeks, and I'd think they'd want it in CoroCoro.

Wait, It was confirmed that we're getting Pokemon reveals at E3?

News may or may not come out of the event for the game, at least more likely than it has ever been in the past. I doubt it would be new pokemon themselves, unless they have a demo there with unrevealed early game pokemon. All I see it being is some kinda game mechanic news.

Re: Official CoroCoro Discussion Thread

Am I the only one here not expecting Sylveon's type to be revealed this upcoming issue? It'll be nice but, IDK, I don't really expect Sylveon's own typing to be a big focus in the short either way.

I understand. I actually don't mind two Pokémon of the same type as long as, you know, I like the type... BUT I do mind a bad design, seeing the evolution's designs will prevent me of making the mistake of choosing a starter based on its mid stage's design (Ex: Dewott), just to be severely disappointed when it evolves into an abomination. That said, Game Freak may design three awesome final evolutions for the starters like they did with the Sinnoh ones, so any choice would be a great choice, in the end.

Re: Official CoroCoro Discussion Thread

They have never not given the type of any new pokemon in a movie or short. June is the latest they've ever waited to reveal details on movie pokes. If you want to entertain them waiting until July, be my guest, but they wouldn't have reason to wait longer than that

I couldn't agree more with what your saying.

Re: Official CoroCoro Discussion Thread

Of course, it's still possible that this month's Corcoro won't have Sylveon's type, and instead they'll reveal it online at some point before the next month's issue and the movie. :p

Then we disagree. If I'd seen/remembered what Serperior looked like before picking my G5 starter, I'd have probably have gone with Oshawott instead of Snivy. Then again, I'm not terribly fond of any of the final evos for Unova's starters. I mean, my opinion of Unova starter aesthetics goes more or less like:
- Servine > Snivy > Serperior
- Dewott > Oshawott > Samurott
- Tepig > Emboar > Pignite

Whereas when I look at the starter aesthetics of other regions:
- Bulbasaur > Ivysaur > Venusaur
- Bayleef > Chikorita > Meganium
- Sceptile > Grovyle > Treecko
- Torterra > Turtwig > Grotle

- Charizard > Charmander > Charmeleon
- Quilava > Typhlosion > Cyndaquil
- Torchic > Blaziken > Combusken
- Infernape > Monferno > Chimchar

- Wartortle > Squirtle > Blastoise
- Totodile > Crocanaw > Feraligator
- Mudkip > Marshtomp > Swampert
- Piplup > Prinplup > Empoleon

In short, I wouldn't have wanted a Serperior on my White 1 team at all if I hadn't already spent 30-plus levels keeping it the strongest Mon on my team (personal starter policy) and using it to take down at least two Gym Leaders.

I wanna say we didn't know Chatot was Normal/Flying till after the film, prior to that every merchandise just listed "Flying" or no type at all.

I definitely remembered it being rumored as the first pure-Flying for a bit. Of course that's not the same as no type given and it being teased, but still...
