Sad about no Kyurem form, as that will be the real shock of this generation. :T

No, this issue was all about revealing Keldeo. No new Formes for Kyurem or anything like that.
Considering how last issue they had hinted something bout Kyurem, I'm surprised. Not the first time they delayed something, or perhaps it wasn't planned for this month.

Did they? I don't remember CoroCoro promising anything about Kyurem in the previous issue.

Aren't new games usually announced around May anyway?
Many fans expected to see the Forme this month due to that being the case for Origin Forme in 2008. That, and it is actually quite typical for new Pokémon/Formes to be promoted a few months before their respective games (to name recent examples, see Spiky-eared Pichu and Zorua and Zoroark).

Since the current issue of CoroCoro doesn't foreshadow anything about Kyurem, I don't think it will be revealed next month, either. I'd wager that both the Forme and the new game will become news in April, by which point Nobunaga's Ambition will have been released and Keldeo's details will have been fully divulged.

They said that Kyurem had hidden powers and they even referenced the 15th anniversary poster as being a hint of some sort. Neither one of those two tidbits has been clarified yet, but they didn't say they would address them soon.

Nobunaga's Ambition should have no influence whatsoever on when and if Kyurem will get a new forme. Giratina was getting strutted about back when Ranger 2 was still being covered, and if they would do anything with Keldeo, then it would probably next month to keep the info flow even. And yes that's what I'm talking bout, as for when they would address em just mentioning it and popping up months later doesn't make sense unless a delay is involved.

No, but it influences how early the next game can be announced. My point was that by April we may have a game announcement; before then, I would recommend not expecting anything unless it is clearly promised. I could easily see next month's scoop being about Keldeo's moves and relationship with the Musketeer trio, as well as the ticket promotion (which I suspect will involve the Musketeer trio as opposed to Kyurem).

You can harp about what happened four years ago and what CoroCoro hinted at, but the movie is still five months away and so there is really no rush. You're also forgetting that Sky Forme was revealed as late as June, and under the safe assumption that Keldeo isn't due for an alternate form, it makes sense that the Pokémon Company are not in a hurry to reveal their last card for this movie.

Ugh, it's taken way too long for Keldeo to finally be revealed. SHAMEFUR DISPRAY, GAME FREAK. Darkrai was unveiled less than a year after DP came out, but here we are in 2012 just finally seeing only one of the unreleased Mythical Pokemon.

I can only hope they know what they're doing. Choosing to release Generation 5 on soon to be outdated hardware while over four yearly movies are planned makes no sense. Either M and G will be revealed relatively soon, or Gray will have to transition to the 3DS.

Er...Victini's a Mythical Pokémon too. Also, Zorua and Zoroark are hidden Pokémon that had to be promoted too.

Technically speaking, Keldeo, along with Meolotta, were both accidentally leaked a long time ago in the American player's guide. I forget the exact page numbers, but it's the section that lists all the responses you can give when people in the game ask you questions.

Victini was already revealed and distributed in 2010. There was no real reason for it to get 2011's movie instead of Keldeo. In fact, I think that it was once a common belief that they would costar in the movie.

As much as I like nice little pony Keldeo, they are taking their sweet little time with Kyurem. The points that Silktree brought up though are quite valid, I had forgotten how late Shaymin's Sky forme was revealed.

I have always compared Kyurem's situation to Giratina's, so I did expect a reveal this month. Guess they actually do want Kyurem's forme to be revealed alongside Pokemon Grey's announcement then, just have to be a little more patient.

So its just Keldeo huh? Oh well Kyurem can always be revealed later. Keldeo is enough for me at this point, to see an unreleased Pokemon that isnt yet available. Keldeo is a cute little Pokemon anyway. At least we get a reveal of some sort this month, so for that Im happy.

That remains to be seen. After this movie, only Meloetta and Genesect will need to be showcased, so they could very easily share Movie 16, especially if Meloetta receives the Victini treatment by being distributed via Wi-Fi this September. While Victini still ended up getting Movie 14 to itself, that could be excused due to the dual movie promotion involving Reshiram and Zekrom; it was a luckluster deal, but I think promoting the version mascots took priority over showcasing Keldeo alongside the Musketeer trio. Next year we shouldn't have that problem.

So Kyurem's new forme and Gray might not be announced until April.

What am I going to do for the next two months... :uhoh:

Aww, Keldeo's official art is cute! He's kicking... x3

The P X NA scan looks interesting too. It looks like it details evolution...I hope it's the same (or remotely similar) to how evolution works in the main-series games.

So I assume this means it's possible we'll be getting our 3rd version this fall(in Japan)?

It's about freaking time that they unveiled Keldeo! I hate how they make you wait like this for Pokemon you already know about! But I guess that they do this for the people who only go to the official Pokemon website (or something like that)for updates. Eh, I don't know.... I feel like this whole "Big Reveal!" thing is unnecessary. Why can't they ever reveal all the Pokemon from a new generation at once?

Since the current issue of CoroCoro doesn't foreshadow anything about Kyurem, I don't think it will be revealed next month, either. I'd wager that both the Forme and the new game will become news in April, by which point Nobunaga's Ambition will have been released and Keldeo's details will have been fully divulged.

That sounds about right, unless (and this seems unlikely now).....
THERE IS NO ALTERNATE FORM FOR KYUREM!!! I hope that's not the case.....


Guess they actually do want Kyurem's forme to be revealed alongside Pokemon Grey's announcement then, just have to be a little more patient.

My guess is that Kyurem's alternate form will be shown when they reveal the box art/design for Pokemon Grey.


So Kyurem's new forme and Gray might not be announced until April.

What am I going to do for the next two months... :uhoh:

Enter the upcoming '2012 International Challenge'?

:idea: Does anyone agree with me that the '2012 International Challenge' is just a way to keep people 'entertained' while they wait to reveal Grey and Kyurem's alternate form?

I agree that the wait was way too long, but I also agree that Victini played a part in the delay. Yes, Victini was distributed when the games were released, but they wanted to give it a big anime debut in the next Pokemon movie (like they do for most legendary Pokemon).
