COROCORO "LEAK LEVELS"
LEVEL 1 (pretty much a given)- Nothing new/the teaser
LEVEL 2 (very likely)- in-game Screenshots
LEVEL 3 (likely)- Magearna's Sugimori art + Typing
LEVEL 4 (a little bit likely)- Mascot Legendaries
LEVEL 5 (somewhat likely)- Starters
LEVEL 6 (barely likely)- Protagonists
LEVEL 7 (not really likely)- Region info
LEVEL 8 (probably not gonna happen)- New Pokemon that aren't legends or starters
does that sound about correct?
pic related. that's corocoro's mascot
I'd swap 2 an 3

Pretty accurate. They almost always cover starters and version mascots before anything else with a few exceptions at times (e.g. Magearna, Zoroark)
>>25865968
This.

>a few exceptions at times
havent done so since when? i don't remember 3rd gen announcements but pretty much since gen 4 they showed us random pokemon (lucario, bonsly, weavile) before showing us starters or box legendaries.
Posting something a brave anon posted in a leak hype thread;
"We more than likely will have movie news given the pattern we've seen through the February to May issues since X and Y were revealed. However they did tell us that Sun and Moon coverage will start this month so we would also get information on the games.
February 2013: Sylveon is revealed.
March 2013: Mewtwo revealed to be distributed for pre-ordering tickets to the Genesect movie.
April 2013: Mega Mewtwo Y is revealed as Mewtwo's "Awakened Form".
May 2013: Shiny Genesect revealed to be distributed alongside the movie. Gogoat, Fletchling, Pancham, Helioptile, Serena and Calem, the new Pokedex, AND Kalos are all revealed.
February 2014: Diancie is officially revealed.
March 2014: Darkrai is revealed to be distributed for pre-ordering tickets to the Diancie movie.
April 2014: Diancie distribution to run alongside the movie is revealed.
May 2014: ORAS boxart is showcased in the issue with them teasing about Primal Reversion.
February 2015: Arceus revealed as distribution for pre-ordering tickets.
March 2015: Arceus distribution has begun but nothing was featured in CoroCoro.
April 2015: Hoopa Unbound is officially revealed and distribution of multiple box legendaries was confirmed to go alongside the movie.
May 2015: Hoopa's in-game details are revealed.
February 2016: Magearna is revealed to the world alongside a name change for the Volcanion movie featuring it. We also got the reveal of Sun and Moon two weeks later.
March 2016: Volcanion is revealed to be distributed for pre-ordering tickets for the movie and we also learn that the April issue of CoroCoro will begin the featured coverage of Sun and Moon.
April 2016: Sun and Moon news, possibly more information on Magearna such as typing and ability, maybe even some in-game screenshots?
May 2016: Sun and Moon coverage continues, we may see starters and or box legendaries?"
>>25865968
This unless new type.
>>25866039
Oh hey I've been copypasta'ed. Spread the word!
>>25865933
Where do Megas/Forms fit in this chart?
>>25867845
decent enough but needs something.
>>25865933
>he thinks in-game screenshots are "very likely"
>>25865975
In Gen IV, we didn't get the starters until the month before launch
>>25865933
How can in-game screenshots be very likely but protagonists, who would be in those screenshots, be barely likely?
>>25869192
To be fair we got our first look at Serena and Calem in the announcement trailer for X and Y but didn't actually get their artwork until May of that year.
>>25869237
Yeah but we didn't get anything outside of movie reveals between the reveal trailer in January and the May CoroCoro
>>25869250
They revealed Sylveon in the February issue and revealed Mega Mewtwo Y in the April issue.
>>25867845
What is that? I hope it's fake
>>25869262
Yes, and they were movie reveals.
>>25869292
Either way they were still reveals for X and Y, they were still relevant to the games. Plus it was our first look at a brand new mechanic, even though we didn't know it at the time.
>>25869278
Did you actually even asked it?
