Sadly, that one robbed Masuda of his big announcement at Worlds. I was pretty annoyed about that.

I also remember waking up to it and saying "NOPE!"

Is CoroCoro seriously only going to show the logos and tentative release date? They showed screenshots immediately following BW's announcement and Xerneas and Yveltal's Sugimori art immediately following XY's announcement.

The best ones are usually around 2-3 months before release. I remembered the issue when they released the Mega news. The whole online community was almost flipped.

I remember that. The entire fanbase literally melted down.

Good times.

I don't think we have any real idea what this issue will have yet?

I'm hoping for starters, and maybe our first glimpse at the protagonists.

Whatever it is for them, I just hope the male gets a more interesting look even if customization is back, 'cause for me in Gen 6 Serena stood out a lot more than Calem did overall in design.

I'm addressing the speculation that nothing will happen until May.

I'm not sure how announcing a game in February then dropping off the radar until May would go down. I think we'll hear news before then, whether it's from CoroCoro or not. After all, they can announce news via the main website/press release anytime.

From what I've been reading across a variety of sites/forums, most people seem to think the upcoming corocoro will have nothing containing S/M.

It's a fair assumption I guess, but I don't know. . . .

With B/W pre-release, Masuda confirmed that a new gen was in development for the DS in late Jan/early Feb of that year. He also talked about it a bit (nothing in detail, it was more of a "we hope to revamp the series with this installment). Shortly after that was the silhouette stuff for Zoroark/Zoruam, and their reveal, etc. The games were actually announced in early April, and literally the same week corocoro leaked, revealing screenshots of B/W.

X/Y was announced with a lot of stuff, such as starters/legends/gameplay, etc. Then over the course of feb-march we got sylveon + mewtwo Y. By the time April rolled around, we knew more about X/Y than we did about B/W during it's launch year.

That makes me think we'll at least see or hear something other than logos this month in corocoro, but at the same time, they still need to cover the movie and pokken. Coupled with the recent pic of the pokenichi cast with Masuda + Ohmori + Morimoto, we know we'll at least have something by early-april ish.

We've never had a generation revealed that had nothing known about it for a month after it was announced.

I really hope the male player design doesn't look like a Red lookalike again, because I am getting tired of every male protagonist looking just like Red. In fact, it's pretty much the reason why Brendan is my favorite male player character, because he's the only one who isn't a Red lookalike.

It's also the reason I'm glad customization was a thing in Gen 6, because I could actually make my character look like an original trainer that represents myself, and not be stuck to a default look the whole time while on the PSS I am forced to use a trainer class like being seen by everyone else as an Ace Trainer or something.

I'm sorry, but do you really think Hilbert, Nate, Calem, and Ethan look just like Red?

Calem and Hilbert I'd agree with, at least in the fact that its just a teen with a baseball cap and a jacket. But Ethan is different enough, red yellow and black is unique to him and him alone, as well as being the first character to wear shorts. So far, only the main characters of direct sequels have worn shorts, I wonder if that would mean anything if the SM Male PC does too.

I think Pokken and the movie have been covered to death honestly. They've already had about 3 issues dedicated to the movie and Pokken has been covered to the point where there's almost nothing to cover other than any surprise fighters.

Thing is, they don't need to cover Pokken anymore. We pretty much know everything about it.

Yeah, same. I can see the movie being given something in May or April. We've gotten issues about the movie... 3 months in a row. I think it can use a break right now.

Possible things for this month's corocoro:
- Sun and Moon info
- Movie info
- Wifi or serial code event
- Pokken or some spin-off game news.

I would be very surprised if we don't get anything SM-related this month in CoroCoro. I don't think it will be anything Pokken since it's being released within the next couple weeks, but I could be wrong. I'm thinking that we'll see both movie news and SM news.
