The Corocoro scan rumor says...
Quote:
The Movie News focuses mainly on Mewtwo, with a sidebar detailing its various appearances, including the original film, Mewtwo Returns, its role in Red and Blue, Pokemon Stadium, and even Smash Brothers Melee. Mewtwo is said to have amnesia within the film, and doesn't remember who Ash is, and considers him an enemy alongside the rest of humanity. Mewtwo engages in a fight with the Red Genesect in order to "free it" from its prison, as it senses its pain from being transformed into a weapon. Mewtwo is said to have obtained a new power, but it is not stated what.
From the translation on Serebii...

Quote:
Mewtwo has an extistential [sic] crisis thinking "These Pokemon were not meant to exist in this world... just like me".
I haven't found anything to disprove this rumor yet (which I personally believe is the most well-crafted, even if it is fake). Correct me if I'm wrong.

I find it funny how people have been stating that some rumored names are "unbelievable" such as houndoomed (which I still find hard to believe) and too overall dumb, and yet the name of the location of the new movie:

New Tork City

There's several things (Mewtwo specifically protecting the group, which he wouldn't do if he still hated humans; the area where the short takes place is not anywhere near the city) but the big thing is that the rumor claimed

Maybe the city has a dumb name, but that's from a series with names like 'Hop Hop Hop town'. The anime has even referenced the Minnesota Vikings. Not quite the same as the games.

True, but if I posted a fake rumor saying the name of the new region, was, say, Brance, no one would believe me. And I doubt anyone, had there been a leak this was called such a simple switch as New Tork city, would have even considered it.

It's just interesting how, after all of our skepticism on naming, they give us this curveball.

My bad! Looks like the rumor wasn't so true after all.

EDIT: And yeah, New Tork City has caused me to lower my standards for Pokemon in naming...

It's an obvious pun though. Torcs are neck rings common across Europe in the Bronze and Iron ages.

Not really. Remember:
There are no gen 6 pokemon in here. There are in the SHORT, but not the actual movie. I'm assuming this is still somewhere in Unova, where Iris and Cilan are as well. Which is based off of New York. In a place based off of New York City.

We're not in "Europokia" (my placeholder name for the new region) yet, so I doubt their on their way to making Europe puns.

I find it SO funny that after all these years, just now theyre thinking of connecting past seasons with current ones. Too bad its kinda too late to undo the damage but at least we will be getting more storyline based movies and episodes instead of fillers. That make me want to watch the gen 6 anime.

By virtue of Ash using older Pokemon, along with various character cameos, they have ALWAYS done this.

I meant actual storyline connections. Connecting the Mewtwo movies with the Genesect one. Not random cameos.

Whoever is in charge of this thread should update the OP so you can read exactly what has been released without scrolling through all 5000+ replies

Sorry for random off-topicness

Well, there really isn't much revealed despite all the pages. It's full of a lot of speculation, and the first two pages cover everything actually revealed.

Doesn't have the current giant rumor list though.

Wonder if they'll change the name when the movie's released in English.

Just something I thought of when looking at the Sableye on the movie poster...

This could be something like a reverse Munchlax. Munchlax was revealed early on in Generation 4 and had a role in Destiny Deoxys, where it evolved into Snorlax. Between now and the time the movie comes out, they could very easily reveal a new Sableye evolution, which would give them a reason to put Sableye in the movie. It could evolve in the movie to show off the new gen outside of the Eevee short. Seems like such a random pokemon to just stick in there, so it seems like there might be some meaning to it.

What do you guys think?

No, you're not. That would be awesome! I love Chatot.

...but even if it was good, it would be banned from tournaments because of Chatter...

Igglybuff/Cleffa are counterparts and their species always have been. Tyrouge brought two counterparts into one species. Pichu was the required baby form of their mascot. Of everything, the only place smoochum belongs is alongside electkid and magby, as it 1. has no other reasons why it would be there (there are other things that needed baby evos *glares at kanghaskhan, onix*)
and 2. Why would something so inaccessable (in r/b/y, its only obtainable through in-game trade) even be of much importance to get a preevolution unless it had some connections?
My guess is they were going to give it a far more beautiful evolution in gen 4, but switched out for either rhyperior or frosslass because they couldn't think of a way to fit it in with the others. So, perhaps it will become paired with another pokemon such as mr.mime this gen. Or maybe mr.mime and sudowoodo.
Exactly. She WAS. If she was still, she would've gotten an evolution just like Electabuzz and Magmar. You can come up for all kinds of excuses for GF for why she doesn't have one, but the point is she's been kept out of the loop, and is now on her own. Same with Scyther/Pinsir, they've been treated unequally, Scyther got an evolution, and Pinsir didn't, and for no reason.

Pinsir will probably get an evolution when Heracross gets one, I can hardly consider Scyther to Scizor an evolution Scizor just has redesigned stats its not any stronger, its probably the earliest concept of a form change like skymin was for shaymin

I personally feel like the mechanics of Chatter are outdated...no one really uses the mic! I feel like if Game Freak decides to go all in on 3D they may decide that Chatter could become full power all the time - suddenly, no more silly bans on a fun Pokémon!

Dugtrio maybe, but where do you take the Skarmory design? It's a giant metal bird. More wings? Sharper wings? Extra heads?

Probably larger wings and claws as well a bigger tail. Maybe a new color scheme? Electivire was different for what we expected it to be, so who knows?
