The January issue of CoroCoro magazine gave more details on Volcanion and what the 2016 Pokémon was going to be about. But it also teased a major February announcement for the franchise and it looks like they will deliver.
A trailer for the upcoming February issue of CoroCoroshowed off the cover to the popular Japanese magazine and it includes a brand new Pokémon named Magiana.![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sOiBgFFxIruSe8H4zW80woaoTxnjJkMJJgOvE9oRjAZcfsPPtBW0kbsuxuvUATr5XZLe2bsS3YqaS6utQOIQ3fMaSjgmCwgI27qNR0cBatDxvO6qT5CtDZJWy2WZoKWObLgNwJymPzcgwYts50GL9AKwgxjqRmWw_rRpcZcw4t2Js=s0-d)
UPDATE: The first CoroCoro image of Magiana is here thanks to Serebii! Serebii translated the text and says that Magiana was 'made by human hands' Pokemon that was created over 500 years ago. Volcanion is after Magiana in the upcoming movie and only Volcanion knows Magiana's secret.
According to Serebii , on the lower lefthand corner there’s a silhouette of the new Pokémon with the name Magiana around it. Here’s a screenshot of the February issue of CoroCoro magazine.
Of course, there’s not a lot of information regarding the contents of February’s CoroCoro issue but the trailer release means that the issue should be released in the coming days.
Pokémon is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2016 and a presumed new main Pokémon game is expected after almost a two-year absence. The official reveal of Volcanion and its upcoming film means that trainers will finally be able to get the water/fire type Pokémon -- legally.
But it seems Magiana is now joining the party as the first new Pokémon for a possible Generation 7.
Magiana was not found by the data miners that discovered Hoopa and Volcanion when Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were first released so this new Pokémon will not be included in those games immediately.
The Pokémon franchise has revealed new generation Pokémon before the release of its corresponding game before. This first happened in the Pokémon the First Movie when Marill, Donphan and Snubbull were introduced before Pokémon Gold and Silver were even announced.
Magiana’s reveal could mean Pokémon Z is on the horizon or the Generation 7 games are coming sooner than fans thought.
When the February issue of CoroCoro
is released we will give you more information on the mysterious new Pokémon , Magiana.
But we want to know your thoughts, does this mean Pokémon Z or a brand new set of games? Sound off in the comments section below.
