The latest issue of Corocoro has announced two new Pokémon. This brings the current total number of Pokémon to 495. The first Pokémon, Zorua (ゾロア), is the Evil Fox Pokémon, it is a Dark-type Pokémon and it is 0.7m tall and 12.5kg.

The second announced Pokémon is the revealed silhouette that Jun'ichi Masuda showed on last weeks episode of Pokémon Sunday. The Pokémon is called Zoroark (ゾロアーク), it the Monster Fox Pokémon, it is a Dark-type Pokémon and it is 1.6m tall and 81.1kg. Zorua (ゾロア) evovles into Zoroark (ゾロアーク).



The full title for the thirteenth Pocket Monsters movie was also announced. The Ruler of Illusions Zoroark (幻影の覇者 ゾロアーク) will premiere in Japanese theaters on July 10th, 2010.

pure dark type?

Zorua\'s adorable. =D

Nice to have some new Pokemon. Will be interesting to see how many new Pokemon they add for the newly announced games.

I can see Jun\'ichi Masuda laughing at people who thought it was Lucario\'s 3rd form. XP

Does anyone else think the name 'Zoroark' sounds sloppy, like they didn't put much thought into it? It sounds like they've got whoever came up with such pathetic names as 'Drifblim' and 'Dusknoir' working on the Japanese names now.

. . . But maybe that's just me being cynical.

I expected something better for its design too, but I guess it's not so bad. It's mainly the hair that looks weird to me - the black tips just seem a bit random. I do like Zorua though, it's pretty cute, and the fact that it evolves means it's not a legendary, which is good (we have waay too many legendaries!).

And just the general fact that new pokemon are coming out is cool in itself. =) Each generation there'll always be ones you like and ones you don't like, so I'm sure there'll be some cool designs on the way soon.

First thing I thought of when I saw \'Zoroark\' was an old PC game call \'Zork\'. The Zork series are pretty fun. In that respect, it\'s not a very original name for a Pokemon though.

I like the overall design of Zoroark and its nice to see more Dark Pokemon.

Finally. . .
Ha ha

LOL Why am I thinking Zorro? Anyway, another welcome Addition to the pokedex! I can\'t wait to see the other 5th gen pokemon when they come out here in US where I\'m at

The Pokemon Zorua reminds of Skitty, but I don\'t know why...
