I remember back when the Gen 5 starter evolutions were leaked, we called it "Wottergate" and it set the entire Pokemon fandom on fire... all while I was probably the only one who even liked Samurott, which was the one that people bitched about the most. That was all 6 years ago and was probably the most insane time I've ever gone through in the fandom.
Out of that entire trainwreck, I recall Serperior suffering the least. Samurott had its design, and Emboar had its typing, whereas I don't really recall anything about Serperior other than all the Snivy memes.

I think next corocoro would have stuff on Sun and Moon, Pokken and Pokemon Go but this is a guess.

I remember a lot of people being upset that Serperior didn't have legs like Snivy and Servine. Also, I don't think a lot of people were happy with Serperior and Samurott's typing either.

I think that this month's CoroCoro will reveal either the starters or legendaries. Usually the first thing to be revealed is the starters, or at least that's what I remember for Gen V and Gen VI.

I recall actually getting starters after legendaries in Gen V and we got them at the same time in VI

In Gen 4, the starters were revealed only 2-3 months before the games were even out, but with Gen 5 they were among the first Pokemon revealed, months before the box legendaries were revealed, and for Gen 6, they were the first Pokemon revealed period, so it's likely that the starters will be the first thing we will see from the game.

Not to mention Emboar. In a reversed way that is. I was so disappointed when we found out it was another Fire/Fighting type..

Pretty sure Serperior actually killed the Smugleaf meme. Like after the final stages were leaked there were cries of "ruined!" and "These are the ugliest evolutions ever. How dare smugleaf turn into that!"

Didn't we also get the silhouettes of the starters at the same time as Reshiram and Zekrom? Or at least around the same time. Like Sunday had the silhouettes and CoroCoro had the legendaries. It's been a while so I might be remembering it wrong.

Either way they might not be going back to that. Especially since we know Magearna in all but typing and stats. They didn't release her as a silhouette first. It's a possibility that they're just holding off for bigger info dumps come CoroCoro and whatever the new Sunday/Smash/Get is. Especially after the tons of dry spells we had during Gen VI. Like maybe this one will be either the starters and box legendaries, the next one will be what they didn't cover this month, the one after that will be some early pokemon with some screen shots, after that we'll probably get a map region info and more pre-release screenshots that won't look like the final game, and so on and so forth.

The (first-stage) Unova starters were revealed by CoroCoro in May 2010 and their silhouettes had been shown on Pokemon Sunday a few days prior. The mascots were revealed by the official website by the end of that month.

Honestly, I just want the starters and maybe images of the protagonists. I doubt we'll get starters though and we'll probably get the box mascots. Who knows? Only like a week or so to find out. xD

We have like 10 more corocoro to go so we would have plenty of news. Plus E3 in June so that's something.

Or we can get some more information about Magiana and get teased about the starters and box legends. They could also tease us about new Pokemon, but it might be a little early to do that.

But what if Magearna turns out to be one of the box legendaries? Like there's some golden male-looking gear robot in a suit for Sun.

They could be shying away from world ending box legendaries and going back to having normal legenaries for the mascots like they did in Gen II.

I'd love that, but apparently Magearna is going to be an event-only legendary :(

Yeah you're right. I think it's listed as a "mythical Pokemon" which I don't think they would put on the boxes. Either way the idea about the new legendaries is good. I really kind of want Pokemon to take a step away from the whole "YOU HAVE TO SAVE THE WORLD!!!!!" thing for a bit. Sure it's fine for a while, but it's getting old now.
