New Pokemon (as in game and species) coming!

[RX-78-2]

I'm just going to put this out there, but I think that that "thing" in the previous post in this thread that looks like Mightyena, is one one these things (keep in mind that I don't know where the picture was found or exactly what it's of):

• a Mightyena evolution
• an alternate Poochyena evolution
• random fan art of any kind of Mightyena or any related made-up Pokémon
• a new interpretation/"Forme" of Mightyena

Whatever it is, it looks cool and I hope the writers and developers have something good in store for us.

With the exception of legendaries, first-glimpse Pokemon tend to be... most random. Actually...

2nd Gen - Togepi, Donphan, Marill, Snubbull, Ho-Oh, Lugia
3rd Gen - Kecleon, Latios, Latias
4th Gen - Munchlax, Bonsly, Lucario

I can't remember any other preview Pokemon, so feel free to add more. Can't exactly say whether it's a legendary or not. When Lucario was revealed, everyone and their grandmother thought he was a legendary; being the star in a movie didn't exactly help. As for other choices, I agree with Mack's observation that there haven't been any (to my knowledge) new evolves as previews, so it would kind of make sense to choose one. The developers are indeed capable of thought, so anything we've thought of, they probably have, too.
As for the Mightyena argument, considering the circumstances, I would say it's certainly more plausible than most ideas, assuming the Pokemon is an evolution. Seriously, people have predicted the release of HG/SS from details far more abstract, such as the floors of Pokemon Centers in Gen 4. Whatever the case, we'll find out in two weeks.

The coloring inside that image is completely fake. We were given an officially announced silhouette, that's it.

...floors of Pokemon Centers? What in the world does that have to do with HG/SS or Johto?

The pokeball in the middle was gold and silver, or something like that.

[Macawmoses]

All that image does is show that Piplup is in the movie. And a rock/tree. And mightyena. I'm really confused as to how it raises probability even still. The way I see it, any and all of the ones we've discussed (plus it being a whole new one) are equally as likely.

[Cornwad]

Piplup and Sudowoodo belong to trainers that are already often present in the anime, like Pikachu. It's a completely different story for Mightyena.

Oh. That explains a lot. Well my opinion is unchanged for that particular rendering anyway. As for the silhouette, do you know where I could find the official image?

I think this "Forme" garbage needs to end.

[Chris8492]

Anyone know what the name is going to be? What region is the new game going to be based from?

No, that information probably won't be revealed for quite a while. We'll get this pokemon's info in 2 weeks, at least.

[DededeCloneChris]

By the way, a rumor came out. The possible real appearance of the Pokemon is at Serebii.

[Kayo]

YES. Serebii found out the REAL info on this pokemon!

[spoiler]Its a new species, not a mightyena evo. It's a "Monster Fox" pokemon, named Zoroaarku (Zoraork) with a pre-evo, Zorua. There are more to be revealed next month, also the Movie is titles "Phantom Champion Zoroark"[/spoiler]

YEAH
