Pokémon
The first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed the latest news on Sun & Moon. As always, do note that translations are preliminary while we work on them. The little sandcastle is called Sunabaa while the big one is called Shirodesuna. Both are Ghost/Ground-type. Pre-evolved Bewear is called Nuikoguma and remains Normal/Fighting-type. and the fish is Yowashi is Water-type and appears to have the ability to change its appearance from its Single Form into a larger fish, its School Form. It also confirms Alolan Meowth & Marowak. Alolan Meowth is Dark-type while Alolan Marowak is Fire/Ghost-type.
We also see the first bits of the antagonist team, Team Skull. Its boss is called Guzma and the girl is Plumeri
Edit @ 07:31: It also confirms that next month's issue will contain a poster featuring Rockruff's "Secret Evolution".
07:47: Alolan Meowth developed after being bred by the royal family of Alola. Alolan Marowak developed in response to its natural predators in order to resist them.
18:20: Due to clearer images cropping up, we have a few new descriptions.
Nuikoguma is very popular among women and children, and tops the lists of Pokemon people want to meet. It hates being touched and will kick and struggle to resist. It's very powerful, but once it evolves into Bewear it truly gains herculean strength
Sunabaa is a grudge that dwells inside a pile of sand turns into a Pokemon. Truly a terrifying creature
Shirodesuna steals the life force from other Pokemon. Those Pokemon's grudges turn into a new Sunaba.
We'll bring more as it comes

Pokémon GO
With the new patch, some users such as Toki767 have started to be able to test the new form of tracking on Pokémon GO. With the new tracking system, alongside the Sightings which may show Pokémon in the wild, areas may come up which showcase a Pokémon and their nearest PokéStop. If you tap them, the game will zoom out and show you the location, allowing you to properly hunt them down. If you move out of range, it will disappear and if the Pokémon flees, you will get a notification saying so. It's currently unclear how close to the PokéStop each Pokémon is to be. Other wild Pokémon will appear under Sightings and be within 700 foot of the player. This is still in testing which is why not all players will be seeing it so things may change before it's rolled out to all players. We'll bring more as it comes

Pokémon GO
A new collaboration has been announced for Pokémon GO. Following the McDonalds restaurants becoming PokéStops in Japan, another company has signed a deal. This time, the TOHO cinema chain is set to have most of their cinemas across Japan become PokéStops. This is only outside and not within the theatres themselves to stop people interrupting others who are watching the movies. The promotion will begin at a later point in the year
