This is the first silhouette of any Pokémon from Generation 5:


Based on its codename, "Z", this Pokémon may be the star of the the next movie. It will be revealed on the episode to be aired on February 21, 2010.

The bottom looks like Lucario, but the top looks like a wolf or something. Very interesting.

Dude it looks like a weasel with tails coming out of its paws.

Sandslash evolution?

Its Lucario growing his hair out~! =w=

Almost looks like a weavile.

Who's that pokemon!?
No, seriously. Who is that pokemon??

But it looks like Nintendo doesn't want cute pokemon any more.

Our member AuraKshatriya9 posted this onto YouTube.

EDIT: Well, since Cat took the video from my post and put it into the beginning post, I might as well remove this one. No need to confuse everyone by having the video twice.

*points to video above*
Translation please?

And also, it looks like there is a poster of "Movie Z" in the background of what looks like a conference room.

*rewrites entire post, appends Aura's video*

Anyway, it's exciting to see a new Pokémon from the next generation. Can't wait!

Reminds me of Lucario and Latios. Looks pretty beasty though.

im thinking its a normal type eevee evolution maybe? or even a primeape evolution .

IT IS TORA! :V

Gosh, the Pokemon Sunday show is soooo cheesy. I'm glad we're able to learn about new game information from these shows, but I can't stand their acting.

But as to what the Pokemon looks like, I can't help but think of a hedgehog based on the hair, but the ponytail throws me into a loop. What a weird silhouette.

Certainly not anything like Kanto anymore. Man, those days of simple sprites are gone.

Still, new stuff is new stuff, and I'm never disappointed by a "main series" Pokemon game.

Thanks for using my video, I appreciate it

@ Sunny:Lucario growing it`s hair out, nice.

@ Quadcentruo:I added some basic translations to it via annotations. I finished up the movie details, and I got the beginning of the game details, I`ll probably finish it tomorrow. As far as I know, I don`t think I made any mistakes, but I suppose I`ll find out when I edit it tomorrow.

To be honest, while I was watching Jun`ichi Masuda while Pokémon Sunday was on T.V., the moment I saw the silhouette, it reminded me of Weavile, then when I realized the "spikes" were most likely a length of hair, it looked to me more like Lucario mixed with Ninetails. I ended up getting the impression it looked like a werewolf, from it`s legs, and claws, as well as snout, but I suppose we`ll have to wait and see. Good to see there will be a 5th Generation.

I also found it pretty humorous how Jun`ichi ended it with "Ciao".

It`s also important to note that it is never directly stated that it`s codename is Z, or that it is Z, (unless I just missed that part ), therefore, it`s possible that "Z" refers to a human, perhaps an antagonist, and this Pokémon may be merely subservient to said person. Based on it`s somewhat feral appearance, I personally assume that to be the case.

I'll be it's just an alternate forme. Nintendo's just screwing with us. "Wolf-Forme" Lucario or something.

It is weird that they're not leading off with a baby pokemon, though.

Looks like- Lucario+Weavile+Mightyena, could be an evolution of mightyena?

Or maybe a new pokemon species all togheter

But hey, it won't be just a silhoute in two weeks, so...

On the other site I go on they're talking about how it might be releated to mightyena because it's confirmed to be in Movie 12 like a werewolf pokemon either that it's a legendary and it's also not confirmed to be the master of illusion Z.

It is an alternate forme of Lucario. I am sure!

Yay! I love Lucario.

Here's my personal opinion:

From what it looks it is a werewolf-sorta Pokémon. I'm guessing it's typing could be Dark, Fight or a dual of Dark/Fight. I am also thinking it is a legendary, since most of the Pokémon movies, if not all, featured a legendary Pokémon. If this is true, then that means we're finally seeing a Fight-type legendary, hopefully.
Some people have been speculating that it might be an evolution/alternate form of Lucario, but I am highly doubtful of that for some odd reason.

.....new....pokemon.....can't.....wait......

Look at this fan-art made by someone whom I don't know:



If the new Pokémon turns out to be something as amazingly awesome as this, I'll definitely go crazy.

Looks like shadow the hedgehog.

Here's something from pokebeach.
CoroCoro’s Website Shows New Pokemon’s Silhouette As Well - New Theories!

Anyone opposing this isn't Gen V will probably have there brains bashed out, good thing no one has thought agianst this.

If the actual pokemon is similar to the fan-art, I can safely say that it is a dark type.

Seems Magmaster beat me to it, but anyway, given that the Pokémon is shown alongside all the previous games, and is a Pokémon which seems to particularly correspond to the new game(s), it makes me think it won`t be some random evolution, perhaps a non-evolving, no pre-evolution non-Legendary, or a Version mascot.

@ Shadow:I really need to speed up, I was planning on doing some fan-art as well, though, that looks more or less the same as what I would`ve drawn, except that instead of there being a "ponytail", it would have long hair, it would have a tail (which is what the end of the "ponytail" is in that picture". The stance it`s in is one of the two I thought it may be in, the other one having it`s other arm behind the mass of "hair", but it`ll definitely be one of my favourites if it ends up looking like that. Hopefully it will

It's Shaymin Revenge Forme, avenging its tasty comrades.

It reminds me of a mutated Sonic

It looks anorexic.

Well, this looks like a pretty cool Pokemon. I just hope that the names don't turn into crap, it seems like they'd run out after using 500 already.

Shadow posted this thread on PokeZam and said something about it looking like it being a wolf and being a dark or fighting type, and I agree. Which is why...

Silhouette, I dub thee... DARKWOLF!

But the name will probably be much more complex since this is Pokemon, hehe.

Why are you trying to disprove a theory that hasn't been brought up?

The fan art looks amazing, but I'd probably like the white and black one better.

CoroCoro leaks, according to a "reliable" Serebii.net Forums member slowkingsley, a person who posted episode titles which are eventually confirmed to be real.

I can't make up my mind: Does it look good or not? Is it fake or not?
But only time will tell, so I'll hold my horses.

Serebii just confirmed it to be real.

It still says "RUMOUR" for me...

It says the new pokemon is called Zoroark or Zoroaarku.

I find the pre-evolution better than the evolution itself. According to Serebii, much details about these two Pokemon and other Pokemon are going to be revealed. I will give my judgment on that day.

Oh, now I can view the news.
Both of them look good; not particularly great, but not horrible as well. Really decent, I'd say - I already like them both.

"Evil Fox Pokemon" Oh my god. That made me afraid to sleep. I think the shadow was "Monster fox pokemon" which made me even more unable to sleep, and prevo would be evil fox.... EVOLUTIONS!?!?!? NOT A LEGENDARY :O

The name isn't very impressive... Sorta crappy if you ask me. But I do like that it starts with a Z.

EVOLUTION OF MAGIKARP.

That would by Gyarados.

I kind of prefer the fan art to it, its a bit.. bland, but it does look fast and strong, a bit like....... weavile.

I don't get why they're revealing it so late though.

It was two years after Munchlax got revealed before we got our first footage of Diamond and Pearl.

It also was a full year after Kecleon, Wailmer, and Azurill got revealed until we got footage of Ruby and Saphire.

If we weren't informed of Zorua and Zoroark, I would've guessed it as either a ninetales or a Mightyena evolution.
