"Pokemon Sun and Moon" release date is just around the corner, but rumor mills have not ceased churning speculations around the much-awaited role playing video games. Meanwhile, it looks like CoroCoro may have just confirmed how the starters in these purported games evolve.

The speculation stems from how the Japanese magazine has managed the up-and-coming reveal of Rockruff. Just last month, the publication spilled the beans about the newly premiered puppy having a secret evolution. That leak recently came to fruition with the full reveal of Lugarugan, according to iDigitalTimes.

The fully grown form emerges from various appearances depending on what time the evolution happen; day or night. Its day form boasts a comparatively more imposing look. The night variation, on the other hand, looks more like a werewolf.

The question is how all this influence "Pokemon Sun and Moon's" starter trio.

To understand that connection, we need to search into a leak that surfaced a couple of months back. The publication at that time hinted that Iwanko, Popplio, Litten and Rowlet all hide a secret. For those unaware, Iwanko is the Japanese name for Rockruff.

It was recently discovered that Rockruff's purported secret alludes to multiple evolutions related to time of day, there is a possibility that the initially teased "secret" that bands these four monsters together would be that special characteristic. Starters are some of the most significant characters in every Pokemon game, so it's hardly surprising to see them tied into the upcoming "Pokemon Sun" and "Pokemon Moon" games in some way, just for namesake.

This report is likely to be well received by those that aren't quite excited about the recently leaked designs of starter evolution. Click here to see those contentious designs.

The concept of time-based starter evolutions has stirred conversations among fan circles for quite a long time, and it looks like CoroCoro has just stopped confirming it.

Readers are advised to take this development with a huge grain of salt until an official reveal surfaces. "Pokemon Sun and Moon" is slated to hit the store shelves to 3DS on November 18.
