I figure this is probably the best place to go to ask this, any Japanese speakers here able to help me out with what the difference between using kono and kore is?

What makes "Kore wa pen desu." more acceptable than "Kono pen desu."? I know kono needs to be followed by a noun and requires that noun while kore doesn't require a noun to follow, but why is the prior more correct than the later when asked something like "Sore wa nan desu ka" about the pen, how do you know which to say?

Kore is a noun. Kono is the no-adjective. It's basically short for kore no.

"Kore wa pen desu" is saying "this is a pen"
"Kono pen desu" is saying "(it is) this pen"

Okay, thank you very much. I couldn't find anywhere that explained it clearly when you should or shouldn't use it, that helped clear it up a bit.
