[BlackDragonSlayer]

Everything will die to the Toxic stall. (sinister laughter intensifies)

I can't wait to deal with being poisoned all the time as it's quite obvious the evil team will be using Salandit. #Obvioussarcasmisobvious

I really love it's ability, and it's typing seems fun too. I'll probably still go with all the cute Pokemon though, so I might not use it.

[SlowPokemon]

I love this Pokémon.

I just hope they leave some surprises for us.

I just hope they leave some surprises for us.

I wouldn't bet on that. Either Game Freak will once again reveal everything before launch (like with ORAS) or folks from the smaller regions will break the street date and leak everything again. Hopefully neither happens, but I'm sorta fearing the latter will happen again even with the delay in EU to prevent that.

Boy, you guys are really distracted by Pokemon Go...

The first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed the latest news on Sun & Moon. As always, do note that translations are preliminary while we work on them. The bear is called Kiteruguma and is Normal/Fighting with the abilities Fluffy and Klutz, while the ghost is Mimicu and is Ghost/Fairy. It has the ability called False Colours.

People in Alola are scared of Kiteruguma to the point of having warning signs about it. It is really strong and can break anything in two. It likes to hug its trainers but is strong. Raising one puts your life in danger.

Mimikkyu hates sunlight, preferring dark places. It is rumoured that the cloth covering its body is a strategy to avoid the sun. Don't try to remove the cloth it is said that those that do become afflicted with an illness. Mimicu's costume is based on Pikachu merch that was popular 20 years ago. It wants to be loved by people like Pikachu is.

Mimicu sound pretty great so far!

I LOVE MY NEW GHOST FRIEND

[Bubbles]

Same :') it's already one of my all time faves

[Maelstrom]

I don't even like pokemon and mimicu is great.

[cashwarrior1]

So, does this mean Mimicu either didn't exist until after Pikachu, or had a different cloth until it obtained the Pikachu one... and somehow bred it with all the other Mimicu...

I assume it was just an ordinary, lonely ghost until it saw that Pikachu was popular ~20 years ago, then it tried to copy Pikachu with... varying degrees of success...?

[cashwarrior1]

Oh... This happened.
