Coro Coro May 2010 Scan?

When I was looking on Pocket Monsters net, I saw this pic:

As said on the thread, it has been floating around 4chan. Could these be hinting towards a Lombre, Mightyena and Ninjask new evolutions?

I'm not getting anything in the first link but I see the 2nd link.

The likely chance this is real depends on who the character is next to Ninjask (if its a brand new person, then it could be real). Though whether it has anything to do with the 5th gen is up for debate.

Though it kind of looks fake based on the quality of the image, but that's what happens with early leaks.

Edit: Wait a second, I think its the movie guy.

Also, I'd like to add that the art of the pokémon is different to their current art. If this is real, this may mean that Sugimori will draw new pictures of Gen III pokémon.

Edit: Wait a second, I think its the movie guy.

It does actually. Perhaps these pokémon evolve in the 13th movie?

If it was a scan there'd be more of it. Not just a very small image of it.

 

[Battaman]

I don't get anything on the first link either

Oh, that's odd. Might as well take if off then.

I don't think the pictures of Pokemon themselves are fake, but whether it really has anything to do with 5th gen or the movie remains to be seen.

Although it dealing with the movie does make a lot sense. However 3 5th gen evolutions of 3rd gen Pokemon in this movie. Not really sure I really like that too much.

Although the thought of a split evolution to Lobre is kind of funny to think about. If Lobre gets one, would Nuzleaf?

Mightyena isn't that shocking since before Zoroark was revealed people thought that it was a Mightyena evolution.

Ninjask? Not sure what an evolution would look like, since it's already one of the fastest Pokemon.

If it was a scan there'd be more of it. Not just a very small image of it.

It has been like that in the past where the very early leaks would be small. We probably won't get full sized leaks until probably Saturday.

Yeah, a new Lombre evolution would look cool- maybe a feminine version of Ludicolo? And I don't think there will be a new Nuzleaf evolution... after all, Pinsir didn't get a new evolution in Gen II.

I swear I've seen those same pink-on-blue question marks before...also, they could be using anime stock-art, not Sugimori art. The scan also shows pixelation on the yellow background and the artwork...so guess is it was probably taken with a high resolution phone camera, or it's a convincing fake.

I also don't see any mention of Lombre, and that thing in the corner nearest to that other question mark...does not look anything like Lombre, it's actually one of the movie characters, Rioka. In fact, there's no arrows or other text to signify any evolutionary link ; it could be showing Pokémon the characters use in the movie, and blanks for new Pokémon (we'll probably get the cute, marketable Pokémon now...see Movie 8 and 9 for details. Also, the text near Ninjask doesn't sound anything like it's Japanese name, and although the one near Rioka sounds similar to Lombre's name ("Berochi" while Lombre is "Hasubrero" , and even that is a stretch). I doubt they're evolutions.

 

[Pidgeot]

It does look like Lombre... its got the side of its head, and one of its legs. Also, the names probably refer to the evolutions (if they are real). If not, its likely to be fake.

 

[Joshawott]

It's Rioka, I compared it to her artwork on PokéBeach. The picture only got the end of her hair:

 

[Pidgeot]

Oh. It did look like Lombre though.

 

[Jun]

It's the time for the first leak of the coro coro, right? So it can be real, i really see an evolution for ninjask

 

[dman_dustin]

It does look like Lombre...

Actually having zoomed all the way I can't be sure its Lombre, because it's black completely, and I don't see any sort of green.

It's head and leg also does look much different then Lobre, similar, but not really same. The head doesn't look to much like a lily pad dish. And it's leg has no claws.

It could still be Lombre, but I don't know if it is currently.

Also, the text near Ninjask doesn't sound anything like it's Japanese name

I don't know about Coro-coro intimately, but not always is the text under an image referring to the image above. I've seen galleries of images where I got confused at first because I didn't know to what text applied to which object.

Edit: Apparently not it is movie character.

 

[Joshawott]

She's going to be offended that you think she looks like a Lombre.
First thing that clued me to it not being a Lombre was the colouring - if Mightyena and Ninjask's colourings were perfect...why would Lombre's be damaged? Then I recognised the hair.

I predict that we'll get the game titles this month, and then "Who are [InsertAllRevealedNamesHere]? Find out next month...BUY ME!"

I strongly suspect this is related to Movie 13 only. There was a thread on another forum just before the reveal of Zorua, wherein somebody had found a bit of promo merchandise for the movie (I think it was a bag or something) that featured a bunch of Pokemon belonging to the regulars, plus Tangrowth and Mightyena. Much speculation began over what this could mean, especially as Mightyena was pretty central in the image. At that point, Zorua being a Mightyena evo was still being discussed as a possibility. But having seen this, I think it just confirms that Mightyena is a Pokemon owned by one of the movie characters. I speculate that the question marks might indeed be Gen V Pokemon appearing in the movie, but there's no reason to assume they're related to the others shown.

Mind you... I would welcome a Mightyena evolution (I love Mightyena to bits). I kind of doubt we'll get one, though. This, however, tells us nothing one way or the other.

EDIT: Oh yeah... and weren't there a bunch of Ninjask in the trailer? This definitely just looks like a "meet the main characters and their Pokemon" deal.

And the fact that there are pictures of three of the movie characters in that small clip, each in little boxes with a Pokémon next to them didn't give it away? (Also, it was Zoroark, not Zorua...I'd lol if Mightyena evolved into Zorua xD)

 

[Bikini Miltank]

Well, I did think it was a pretty straightforward logical leap, yeah. If my language seemed guarded, it's probably because stating the obvious in other speculation-based threads has led to me being battered with "Yes yes but you don't KNOW that, do you?"

And... yeah, I meant Zoroark. It's just all about Zorua for me. I am never evolving that little bugger.

 

[Falconwing]

All it is is a picture of the characters and what pokemon they have. Though the new art is interesting and I can't for the life of me figure out why they have those circles. More new pokemon perhaps?

 

[Pidgeot]

As we seem to be going down the 'it's not Lombre, it's a strange girl' route, how do you explain the circle next to her? Because it's not the girl. For one thing, how come it doesn't show the whole of the girl's picture? It's a pokémon.
