    "Magiana" is now a thing

    So CoroCoro revealed a new Pokémon. It looks like this:



    Yeah, I really wish they'd give the Diancie-esque things (Carbink, Diancie, Mega Diancie, and now this thing) a rest, too.

    Apparently it's a "Manmade Pokémon" (officially), is supposed to be a robot and will show up in the next movie. Some people think it's the official first Gen 7 Pokémon, to which I say . . . come on, Pokémon, at least Zorua didn't look like one of the demonic conjurations from Madoka.

    My very cynical guess is that, given how Game Freak is now the planet's #1 producer of power creep, it's probably an Arceus-caliber evolution of #719 or something.

    The next pokemon they're reveal will be a cat-thing that perpetually asks you to make a contract with it /s

    Also, don't we already have manmade pokemon with Porygon(/2/z) and voltorb/electrode line and (I believe) Genesect?

    You're forgetting the best manmade Pokemon. Mewtwo

    I think it's interesting that they hid its existence from us by not putting it in the game files, even. Looks like (and hopefully it is) a Steel/Fairy type. Would be amazing, since that removes fairy's poison and steel weaknesses, and Steel's Fighting weakness.

    That's the main thing that makes me think it could be Gen 7, though, they presumably knew hackers would find Hoopa, Diancie and Volcanion but left them in the game anyway; if they were going to hold any Pokémon and possibly deliver them via software update later, why not do that with them all? Unless they just didn't have its design finished by whenever the deadline was, or something.

    Yeah, it is very bizarre how inconsistent they've been. In XY, you can use Mega Latios and Latias (ORAS exclusive), but not Mega Sceptile/Swampert.

    And by the same, Mega Diancie (Kalos Pokemon) is ONLY available in ORAS.

    I'm pretty sure Magiana will be Pokemon Z exclusive, sense they haven't patched in new Pokemon before. But then you still have AZ's Floette (which will likely be Z exclusive as well) floating around in the XY game files...

    Hmm, anyone here familiar with Italian? "Magiana" (Japanese version of the name) looks TANTALIZINGLY similar to Italian, but it's not exactly any word I know (or Google Translate knows) so it's otherwise not much of an observation. Gen 7 going to take place in Venice or something?

    It's just Machina + Gia (Gear), which was further confirmed by the English name I guess.
    RIP sig. I'll add something when I'm not up at 6:30 am.
