Update 3: Several more images from the trailer leaked.
Update 2: Team Skull’s big boss shown.
Update: New trainer from Team Skull leaked, images added after the break. We’ve also removed the rumor tag as we’re nearly certain all of this is legitimate.
A lot of Pokemon news has surfaced this week thanks to CoroCoro. The Japanese magazine leaked out early like usual over the past few days, and gave us a glimpse at the latest creatures that will be featured in Sun/Moon.
That being said, the Pokemon Sun/Moon updates for the week aren’t over. To close out the week, we’ll be getting an official trailer which should show even more for the two games. At least some of the fun appears to have leaked early if some convincing new images are to go by. Head past the break for more.
