Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Cutie Gwen]

Eh I can't see it being Floette-E's evo. For no reason in particular though. I just see it being genuinely new.

What I want to know is is it a new legendary or a new standard 'mon.

Has there really been any legendary advertised with a silhouette? It's always been a standard mon iirc

 

[---]

I'd go with AZ's Floette getting an evolution. Been wrong before looking back to the old threads from 2011/12 but whatever.

Also I am the only one who got a Dr. Seuss vibe as my first reaction to that silhouette? lol

A rapper kappa Yokai.

Well...

 

[wedl!!]

I hope it's heavily inspired by such hip-hop visionaries as Fred Durst and Vanilla Ice

Robot Waifu Pokemon

I love whenever anything vaguely female is revealed people pessimistically say call it a "waifu" before otakus actually start calling it waifu.

 

[Chrono.]

Magiana's a man-made Pokemon, not unlike Porygon.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Porygon says hi

Oh yeah. I guess I blacked that memory out after all the struggle with getting a Porygon Z. Such expense, so many battle points

 

[Deleted member]

Just as I got finished making a silhouette. lol

 

[Guybrush20X6]

So it really is the Pokemon equivalent of Ashlotte.

 

[Kenith]

Wow it does sort of remind me of Ashlotte lol
inb4 Magiana was created by a cult to kill Regirock.

 

[Bedoop]

Its Dress is a Pokéball.
IF IT DOESN'T HAVE SELF-DESTRUCT I WILL BE VERY CROSS

 

[Chrono.]

After seeing that design I can't say I wouldn't like seeing it in Pokken.

#Magiana4Pokken

 

[A Distant Demon]

Definitely one of the weirder pokemon designs. . .

Well looks like it will only ever be in the anime once. . .


Damn crazy scientist's playing Arceus and creating life. .

 

[Deleted member]

Red on the outside of the eyes, pink in the middle. Seems like a robo Diancie.

 

[---]

And here they are.

****. It's Mega Mewtwo all over again. LMAO

Not caring for the design (no Sugimori art?) and another Steel/Fairy (most likely) sounds like a missed opportunity.

 

[LucarioDude]

It really does seem like it's a Fairy/Steel type and does resemble Diancie in some ways. The new movie will be called "Volcanion and the Exquisite Magiana". I wonder if Magiana is just a regular Pokemon in this case. I mean we've had Lucario and the Mystery of Mew movie before. It is interesting that it's lower half of its body is shaped as a Pokéball though.

I hope it isn't a legendary because I want one on my party and I don't wanna feel like a scrub when using one

Looks like one of my predictions regarding what will be the big Pokemon news of the February CoroCoro issue was right: it was either Pokemon Z or the reveal of an entirely new Pokemon, and it turned out the latter was right.

With all these comments about its comparison to Diancie, I'm glad I'm not the only one that had a Diancie vibe when I first saw it, especially when looking at the eyes.

My thoughts about the Pokemon? It's definitely one of the more... interesting Pokemon. Back when they first teased the Volcanion movie with Pikachu and all the gears, I had a feeling that maybe there will be a new Pokemon that will be somehow connected to those gears... and here we are. Let's see if this Pokemon will grow on me in the coming months.

I'm going to stick with the assumption that this is our first generation 7 Pokemon for now, but if it turns out to be a new Pokemon for the Generation 6.5 idea, I wouldn't mind that as well since Kalos could use a few more new Pokemon.

On a side note, the new movie's title is now "Volcanion and the Exquisite Magiana". Magiana was a Pokemon made over 500 years ago. Volcancion is chasing Magiana, and only it knows Magiana's secret.

Spoiler: Volcanion Movie: Full Title

Oh goddammit. Seeing the silhouette like that DOES make the design look better oddly enough

 

[Chrono.]

Gotta admit, thinking about how Magiana was created can get amusing.

Like, these group of grown men and women sat down to make a powerful Pokemon and the design they went with was a robotic lolita of all things.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Oh lol. I didn't see the design yet XD. I really like it, always been fond of gear designs oddly enough

Inb4 Pain here is an evolved form of it

 

[wedl!!]

It was in tribute to Madoka obviously

One day Magiana will have a vaguely sexual encounter with Arceus and hunt for its embrace again

And then to appeal to weebs like me there will be a fruit themed Magiana

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Shame it was revealed so fast, we didn't get a chance for people to interpret the silhouette in funny ways. Only a couple of half serious ones.

 

[Khoru]

it's called magiana because it was created by giana, from the acclaimed and original commodore 64 game The Great Giana Sisters

 

[wedl!!]

Damm. I never thought of that.

Where's my Custer's Revenge Pokemon

A rapper kappa Yokai.

Well...

Kappaa the Rappa.

Also, about Magiana, it may still be a teaser for a "flagship mon" for Gen 7 being shown off.. actually like 2 years early but still.

Gen VI was revealed before any teasers, though I guess Mega Mewtwo Y counts

Rosie the Robot confirmed.

 

[Chrono.]

Remember when Keckleon and Blaziken were in the Johto anime long before Gen 3?

That was fun.
