They're not gonna be version exclusive. My (admittedly really limited) Japanese skills don't see anything that would suggest that.

It's Personality values for Dustox/Beautifly and I guess Silicoon/Cascoon. It's almost random what you'll get unless you can see that value

They're based on yet another hidden stat called Personality Values.

Yes. At least for kid's magazines like CoroCoro.

Ps: I think it's a terrible idea because it fucks anyone that want to breed their perfect nightwolf/daydog. How would that even work?

Probably a trailer of some kind i'd expect. Wouldn't be surprised if it's mostly about the same things though, or stuff from the recent Japanese trailer that weren't in the English ones.

I've noticed that some information revealed in International trailers isn't present in Corocoro. For example, one trailer revealed four Pokémon: Stufful, Sandygast, Palossand and Crabrawler. The first three were in the magazine, but Crabrawler was completely new.

I thought it was already confirmed in Corocoro that evolving Rockruff is a matter of the time of day, like Espeon/Umbreon. Maybe they're just assuming kids will be playing during the day and will therefore receive daywolf in Sun and nightwolf in Moon?

They revealed the first evolutions of the starters for Black/White and X/Y in the September issue of the magazine. My guess as to why they haven't done the same for the Sun/Moon starters by now is probably because fans haven't been secretive with the leaks (I've noticed that they post the leaks on Pokémon's Twitter feed all the time).

They're probably avoiding anything regarding the starters so to not confirm or deny that the leaks are indeed real.

I'm honestly debating between Wolf from Monster Rancher and Shadow the Werehog as my evolution for Rockruff.

Midnight Rugarugan reminds me of Jon Talbain from Darkstalkers.

I'm hoping its solely a time of day thing and not a version exclusive evolution because I already preordered Moon but I like the Midday form much more then the Midnight one.

Night Dog gets Counter and Day Dog gets a new move called Accel Rock.

This also seems to suggest they're version exclusives, though it doesn't explicitly state it.

Daywolf's mane looks like a sun and Nightwolf's pompadour is shaped like a crescent moon. :downs:

If the thing about the starters having split evolutions turns out to be true,then they're probably holding back on revealing them until the last minute to try and build up hype. Of course we can always hope that they'll be lumped in with the official daywolf and nightwolf reveals in tomorrow's video :v:

Special Attack boosting nature made them go a very long way (even Ember was doing serious work before I got Flamethrower!). The team's special tank as well, and oddly enough the only dude on the team.

Fun times.

He was only meant to go in and use Eerie Impulse but turns out he's go tons of Special Defense and the first two pokemon of that gym are weak to electric so I just let him drain them all with parabolic charge.

Like the dude myself, took one through X. It being part normal weirds me out though, like I figured normal in pokemon terms just means: this is just a regular dog/lizard/whatever, not unlike all those fire/water/rock dogs/lizards/whatever... and then they go ahead and slap it on mons like this one at random anyway.
