CoroCoro Comic, one of Japan’s most influential gaming publications, has revealed new Alolan regional forms and Pokédex additions for the highly anticipated Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon titles.
Developed by Game Freak and set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS, these next entries in the Pokémon franchise are generating significant excitement ahead of their worldwide release. According to CoroCoro Comic’s recent issue, players can expect to encounter the newly unveiled Alolan Marowak and Alolan Meowth forms—unique regional variants that will debut in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.
These announcements contribute to the growing list of Alola-specific Pokémon introduced by Game Freak, enriching the in-game lore and providing fresh strategic options for veteran trainers and newcomers alike. Adding to the mix, CoroCoro has teased further upcoming news, particularly surrounding Rockruff, the Rock-type Puppy Pokémon.
The magazine disclosed plans to reveal Rockruff’s Secret Evolution in the next issue, with an exclusive poster for readers.
While exact details remain under wraps, CoroCoro described Rockruff as a Pokémon that exhibits increasingly wild behavior as it matures.
Notably, the publication explained that when Rockruff begins to howl at sunset, it signals that the time for its evolution is near—a period during which it leaves its Trainer’s side, only returning once its evolution is complete. The Pokémon Company has established a tradition of unveiling new forms and gameplay features through Japanese media outlets, building anticipation leading up to official releases.
Alolan Marowak and Alolan Meowth add both tactical depth and regional flavor, a testament to Game Freak’s creative approach in reinventing classic species for the Alola region. Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are set for release on November 18, 2016, in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, with a European launch following on November 23, 2016.
Both games will be available exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS family of handheld systems.
Early indicators point to strong pre-launch enthusiasm, continuing the franchise’s legacy of impressive sales and critical acclaim. Stay tuned as CoroCoro Comic prepares to unveil Rockruff’s evolution in its next issue—a development sure to be of great interest to long-standing fans and competitive players alike.
As the Pokémon franchise enters its seventh generation, these new revelations underscore Game Freak and Nintendo’s commitment to innovation and vibrant world-building on the Nintendo 3DS platform.
