The latest slew of CoroCoro scans are much more revealing than the last. Let's take a look.
Here, we can see Mega Diancie in all her glory, who the magazine purports as "more beautiful than ever!" Her stats are barely readable, but we can see that her typing remains as Rock/Fairy, and her ability is not yet revealed (listed as "???").
The next page features Mega Sceptile. Here's the rundown on his info:
Species: Forest Pokemon
Type: Grass/Dragon
Height: 1.9m Weight: 55.2kg
Ability: Lightning Rod
On the bottom, we can see that Team Magma and Team Aqua have made a return, and their visual updates are looking nice. We'll look at a close up of this in a bit.
Mega Blaziken is shown on the next page, but we of course know all about him already. Mega Swampert is shown to be using Hammer Arm.
Down below, we see that the duo of the Mach Bike and Acro Bike are also making their return.
On the next page, Mega Swampert makes his appearance. His specs:
Species: Mud Fish Pokemon
Type: Water/Ground
Height: 1.9m Weight: 102.9kg
Ability: Swift Swim
Down on the bottom right, we can see Steven is making his return. Here's a close up image:
He's introduced as "the young man who holds the key." If you recall, the last issue of CoroCoro also used this same terminology to say that Groudon and Kyogre held the key to something. The page states that we'll encounter him on our journey and that he will guide us, as evident from the pictures. It mentions that he as well is "pursuing the mysteries" of Mega Evolution.
Now, we'll take a look at Team Aqua and Team Magma:
Maxie and Archie and their subordinates return with an all new look. It also says that your interactions with the teams will depend on which version you have, as expected.
Next, here's some brand new info regarding Groudon and Kyogre!
These new forms are not, in fact, Mega Evolutions. According to the magazine, Groudon and Kyogre are stronger than ever before, with overwhelming power from nature's energy. Their transformation is called "return to origin," with the form names translating to "Origin Groudon" and "Origin Kyogre." However, it's written differently than Origin Giratina, so it's likely that the official English translation will change ("Primeval" or "Prehistoric" are likely candidates). The small pictures on the bottom shows Kyogre using an unnamed brand new move.
Last, but not least, art for the protagonists!
This page also mentions that the players will make use of a "Mega Bangle," with the same sort of keystone as that found in the Mega Ring of X&Y.
Wow, this is a lot of new stuff to take in! Some of it was expected, but I think the new transformation methods for Groudon and Kyogre threw everyone off. How pumped are you for ORAS now?
