Magiana/Magearna

[shy guy 64]

A new pokémon has been announced in CoroCoro today: Magiana, the man made pokémon.

The pokémon is described as being the first man made pokémon from 500 years ago, possessing a metallic body. The pokémon will be making it's first appearance in the upcoming film "Volcanion and the contriving Magiana", in which Volcanion is pursuing Magiana, Magiana having been abducted by a machine city, the Azoth Kingdom.

No typing has currently been announced however it seems incredibly likely that it will be a steel type given the amount of focus on it being a man made, metal pokémon and going by it's general design it looks like it could perhaps receive a secondary fairy typing.

We already have a thread for new stuff

[JenovaPX]

No, we don't

[Kappa]

mecha-diancie is pretty cool

[Aren142]

It's a gooseberry fool robot bunny maid with a gear used as the frilly headdress and enormous hips. It's like they asked Kaee to make a Steel type.

[Kaeetayel]

To the surprise of very few people I really like the design

[Cero]

I love the design also.

[OmegaPit]

I hate the design. But I can understand it seeing as it's supposed to be man-made.

[JenovaPX]

Yeah, not much of a fan here either. It does look artificial at least but at the same time it really looks like a generic gen VI mon.

[fluffyKittan]

Are they lugging this in as the keldeo of the hoopa/diance/volcanion trio

[Rik]

If it's not been found in XY/ORAS data then that probably means it's either the start of the gen 7 mon or Z is getting an expanded Pokedex. Either that or they'll be adding it through patch to the other games, but they didn't do it for X and Y when they added ORAS' new megas, so I don't know why they'd change tack now.

Tbf Zygarde has loads of forms revealed that I don't think are in the XY/ORAS data, and given it's relationship with Volcanion I'd guess it's more likely to be Gen VI

[Rik]

I'd forgotten about the Zygarde stuff, guess it will be an expanded gen 6 then. Just a question of how much, hopefully there'll be some new regular Pokemon to go along with the legendaries.

[JenovaPX]

I hope not considering all it is right now is one new mon that we didn't know about and a few forms. Not really much of an extension right now, not enough to warrant ramming more regular mon in before Gen VII comes along at least, I'm sure we'll get more than enough new mon when that comes along.

[Aren142]

We'll probably get a couple more Megas or something.

Also, worth remembering that the Magiana-Volcanion connection is in the anime film so more than likely won't be reflected in the games. See Victini-Reshiram/Zekrom films, Keldeo-Kyurem film, etc.

[fluffyKittan]

Yeh i think 50-60 a gen is a nice number now, there's enough to fit in Africa. I'm a bit suspect to it being a steel fairy type given diance carried the fairy type, unless it;s story is an attempt to create a better diance or something. Defo looks steel though, pls give steel/normal just to piss people off.

Can you not post like that before me plis hoyle

[Jezo]

it really looks like a generic gen VI mon.

What does this mean

[JenovaPX]

That so far as I see it's a relatively bland design that resembles the other mon of the generation in style and doesn't particularly stand out with anything that makes it look memorable.

[Aren142]

That may be so, but it's still better than the majority of things in 2 gens before it.

[Scapegoat]

That may be so, but it's still better than the majority of things in 2 gens before it.

not really though

[Pineapple]

I think it's cute so that's more or less an automatic pass from me.

[TamzehVB]

I like its design too. Cute Pokemon are an instant win for me...mostly.

[Kappa]

That may be so, but it's still better than the majority of things in 2 gens before it.

not really though

literal trash

[komodo joe]

i mean muk pulled the same eton mess 20 years ago but with even less visual appeal

[Aren142]

Garbodor gets a lot more eton mess than it should. People seem to just jump on it for what it is and ignore the actual design. There are definitely worse things in that Gen. Just they're a lot more forgettable.
