New Pokemon have been revealed in this month’s issue of CoroCoro. First images are starting to leak from the magazine, giving us a look at the creatures.

The first one we’re able to see is Nekkoala, the Contagious Dream Pokemon. It’s a Normal-type with the ability Definite Sleep which prevents it being afflicted with a status other than sleep. We also see the Deep Eye dog Pokemon named Iwanko, who is Rock-type and carries the ability Keen Eye or Vital Spirit.

Here’s a look at the new Pokemon (plus the upcoming movie) via CoroCoro scans:

CoroCoro also says that the Greninja event at the movie based on the Pokemon Election has the ability Protean and the moves Hydro Pump, Gunk Shot, Mat Block and Happy Hour. Those who attend the film will be given a Pokémon Ga-Olé disc featuring a QR Code that can be scanned to obtain Magearna in Pokemon Sun and Moon. Magearna comes with the Soul Heart Ability and a new move known as Furuuru Cannon. Additionally, it will be at level 50.

Update: Bumped to the top. We have a few more details about the Pokemon plans for E3.

On Tuesday, Pokemon Sun/Moon will be introduced (June 14). Pokemon GO will be featured on Wednesday (June 15). Guests such as developers will stop by, and there will also be new information and trivia about development that can only be heard here. With Pokemon GO, it will be a developer Q&A.

Also, as a bit of an aside, a local Niconico stream in Japan will be held on Thursday. This will summarize the contents of Pokemon’s presence at E3.

Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3 2016 will heavily feature Zelda Wii U later this month. However, as it turns out, that won’t be the only game on the broadcast.

The official Japanese Twitter account for Pokemon confirms that Pokemon Sun/Moon and Pokemon GO will be included in the Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3 2016 live stream. We don’t know what exactly will be shown, but this is rather interesting news!

Along with today’s new trailer, the official Pokemon Sun/Moon site was updated today. It includes information about one aspect that wasn’t really mentioned in the video: a QR Scanner.

Here’s the rundown:

In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, there is a QR Scanner function that allows you to see information about Pokémon when you scan QR Code patterns. With the QR Scanner, you scan in a QR Code and check the information about the Pokémon that corresponds to that QR Code. There are QR Code patterns in various places all around you, so try scanning them.

Register Pokémon in Your Pokédex!

By scanning in special QR Code patterns you can register Pokémon of the Alola region to your Pokédex and find out where they live. If you scan in the QR Code for a Pokémon that you haven’t yet caught, you can check its habitat and search it out.

Share QR Code Patterns of Pokémon!

You can display the QR Code patterns for Pokémon you have caught in your own Pokédex. If you and a friend show each other the QR Code patterns for Pokémon you have caught, you can both register the Pokémon in your Pokédexes!

Although it was pretty much assumed at this point, Pokemon Sun/Moon will indeed feature more than one island. That tidbit of information comes from the description of a listing on Amazon.

The retailer mentions:

“Embark on a new adventure as a Pokemon Trainer and catch, battle, and trade all-new Pokemon on the tropical islands of a new Region and become a Pokemon Champion!”

Again, hardly surprising, but it’s nice to have a “confirmation”. Since the location is based on Hawaii, it wouldn’t make much sense to have Sun/Moon only be based around a single island.

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon were briefly highlighted during the latest episode of Pokenchi. Although it didn’t show much, a new screenshot popped up during the broadcast.

First, we see that bystanders can appear during battles. This is separate from what was included in the gameplay trailer this past week, as these people aren’t involved in battles themselves. We’re also able to get a look at a new HP bar.

You can Pokenchi’s Sun/Moon coverage below. Again though, aside from the new screenshot, not much else is new.
