The Pokemon Company via mainly CoroCoro used to do this a TON back in the day... they'd reveal the silouette of a new Pokemon or a couple, and folks would have sometimes of up to a month to speculate on them.

I remember Lucario, where folks thought it was some sort of Mew x Blaziken fusion as even CoroCoro mentioned how it appeared to resemble both of them, the triple silouettes of Bonsly, Buisel, and Weavile, the triple silouettes of the Unova Starters which led to some amazing guesses like Acorn Duck, and, like, as far as I remember the last time they did this was back in Generation V with Wargle on the Pokemon Sunday show.

Just saw they're FINALLY bringing back this gimmick with the new Event Pokemon to be featured in the next Pokemon Film "Coco", with a silouette of it appearing any day now in this month's issue of CoroCoro with an official reveal on Pokemon Day.

I'm fucking hyped.

Hell yeah they are, a new Silhouette in 2020 is something that I never expected in my wildest dreams and I'm intrigued to see what it might be like.

My idea is due to the Jungle Theme of Coco, it could be inspired by Tiki/Feather Masks aka could be a Pokemon wearing a Feather Mask

I think the wing thing might be a fancy ear.

The curved thing in the middle is an arm and then the leg down with some roundish thing at the foot.

Sorry, i'm not a monarchy person.
As are most plebians, luckily, your opinion isnt needed and wont be noted.
Pokemon is a world ruled by Might, and thats why the leaders of Regions are decided by Battle.

As a heads up we have a bigger version of that new silhouette (linked because it's a scan)

still looks like the old Sonic title screen emblem on a bizarro Incineroar's body to me
