BLASPHEMY. THIS IS POKEMON.

[Gaia]

BLASPHEMY. THIS IS POKEMON.

No.. THIS.. IS.. NNNIIINTTEEENNDDOOOO!!! *kicks into pit*

All in seriousness, Black better be useful in the Pokemon Special. I felt Dia was just a comedy item, and Ruby was kinda -nerdy-.

Also applies to Gold. Or as 4kids knows him, Jimmy.

Screw 4Kids, the only thing they did right was the TMNT series.

You do remember that Dia and Pearl were comedians right?

[Shinigami No Tekken]

Screw 4Kids, yet another thing they screwed up was the TMNT series.

Fixed.

[Gaia]

You do remember that Dia and Pearl were comedians right?

Yes, but I felt they could have 1up'd Red any chance they got. It's been awhile since we saw a main as awesome as him.

So...if the scans are real, then the artwork of the evos is fake, BUT, still accurate so far -___-

People are just bitching because they hate the starter evo's.

The only thing I want to [sonic slicer] about is having another fire/fighter, I actually liked most of the evos.

Same with me, I mean for crying out loud Infernape is cheap enough.

[Klavier Gavin]

another fire/fighter

I'll go ahead and quote Archer and myself;

Archer says:
*>FIRE/FIGHTING
*HAHAHAHAHA
Kyouya says:

Btw, added more info to my previous post.

[Rad Lionheart]

These Pokemans are actually lookin' pretty cool if you ask me.
Except I'm starting to lean toward the grass starter this generation.

[Sakura Leic]

Wait we get a mushroom pokemon that looks like a pokeball?

[Klavier Gavin]

Wait we get a mushroom pokemon that looks like a pokeball?

Yes, like how we got two giant Pokeballs with faces in the first gen games.

[Solar]

So if these are real then the leaks are pretty much confirmed I guess. Which means I NEED that puppy pokemon, its evos have a mustache, there's no way I'm not having a dog with a mustache in my party.

[Klavier Gavin]

I want the black version of Tauros. DAT FRO.

[Rad Lionheart]

I'd catch dat 'fro.

[Klavier Gavin]

I'd catch dat 'fro.

Update #5 (11:30) - The starter evolution page does not match the rest of the pages, but we're keeping it up for now since it was leaked at the same time and by the same person.

what is this i don't even

Now the [parasitic bomb] storms on other sites will continue...

[Rad Lionheart]

Does not match? It looks like it matches to me.

[Klavier Gavin]

Okay, starter evo's are real. I'm sure Sparky, Wily II, and everyone on GameFAQs, 4Chan, etc are raging about it.



Pages 2 and 3

The Plasma guy with the eyepiece is named Geechisu - he has been seen in various trailers.

The second town is named Garaku Town. This is where you meet Geechisu.

N has a Choroneko (the Dark-type cat).



Pages 4 and 5

Yanappu - Grass - Grass Monkey Pokemon - 0.6m - 10.5kg - Gluttony. It knows Acrobat.

Baoppu - Fire - High Temperature Pokemon - 0.6m - 11.0kg - Gluttony. Knows a new move called "Flame Burst" which damages nearby opponents.

Hiyappu - Water - Wave Splash Pokemon - 0.6m - 13.5kg - Gluttony. Knows a new move called "Boiling Water" which is Water-type but can Burn.

Emonga - Electric/Flying - Flying Squirrel Pokemon - 0.4m - 5.0kg. Has a new attack called "Eleci Ball" that increases in damage depending on your speed in comparison to the opponent's speed.

One of Victini's new attacks is named Flame Sphere and it inflicts Burn. It hits all Pokemon on the field, even your own.



Pages 6 and 7

Basurao - Violent Pokemon - Water - Reckless / Adaptability. Has two forms, as shown in the scan; the form you encounter depends on the version you have.

Yorterrie - Puppy Pokemon - Normal - Vital Spirit / Pick-Up. Based on a Yorkie. Has a new attack called "Cheer Up" which raises its Attack and Special Attack.

Choroneko - Bad Cat Pokemon - Dark - Limber / Acrobatic. The "Acrobatic" ability is not to be confused with Yanppu's Acrobat attack. N owns a Choroneko.

Desukaan - Coffin Pokemon - Ghost - Mummy. When attacked, the attacking Pokemon's ability is turned into Mummy as well. The Japanese for the ability sounds like "Mirror" so it's a pun because the ability keeps reflecting.

Ononokusu - Chin Horn Pokemon - Dragon - Rivalry / Mold Breaker. Has a new attack called "Dragon Tail" but we can't make out the effect - it has something to do with the opponent's next turn. It might force them to switch Pokemon like Roar or Whirlwind.

Denchura - Electric Spider Pokemon - Bug/Electric - Compoundeyes / Tension. Its "Tension" ability prevents the opponent's Pokemon from eating Berries.

Doryuuzu - Earth's Core Pokemon - Ground/Steel - Sand Gun / Sand Power. It knows a Ground-type attack called "Drill Liner" which has a high critical hit rate.



Pages 8 and 9

Buffalon - Headbutt Cow Pokemon - Normal - Reckless / Herbivore. Knows a new attack called "Afro Break" which is a sort of Counter attack. It has an afro and its name is a pun on this, which is where "Afro" Break comes from. Only Buffalon knows this attack.

Dangoro - Mantle Pokemon - Rock - Sturdy. Has a new attack called "Drop Down" where it knocks Flying-types out of the sky, though it causes recoil damage.

Mebukijika - Shikijika's evolution - Season Pokemon - Normal/Grass - Herbivore / Chlorophyll. Its appearance changes with the season like its pre-evolution.

Tabunne - Healing Pokemon - Normal - Healing Heart / Regenerate. It knows a new attack called "Heal Wave" which restores its allies' HP. The Chansey / Nurse Joy Pokemon of this region?

Monmen - Cotton Ball Pokemon - Grass - Mischievous Heart / Pickpocket. Only available in Black.

Churine - Root Pokemon - Grass - Chlorophyll / Own Tempo. Only available in White. It has an attack called "Clear Smoke" that resets status changes.

Tamagetake - Mushroom Pokemon - Grass / Poison - Effect Spore - It's got a freakin' Poke Ball mushroom on its head. Since it looks like a Poke Ball, it surprises his opponents; that's where the "tamage" in his name comes (from "tamageru," to surprise). Obviously the Voltorb of this region.



Pages 14 and 15

Jyanobii - Tsutarja evolution - Grass - Grass Snake Pokemon - 0.8m - 16.0kg - Overgrow

Chaobuu - Pokabu's evolution - Fire/Fighting - Fire Pig Pokemon - 1.0m - 55.5kg - Blaze

Futachimaru - Mijumaru's evolution - Water - Meditation Pokemon - 0.8m - 24.5kg - Torrent
Since the above evolutions turned out to be real, that means the final stages that were leaked with them are real as well.

Reshiram's signature attack is Cross Fire while Zekrom's is Cross Thunder. Apparently when one Pokemon is hit by the other's attack the other's signature attack becomes more powerful. These attacks were seen in a commercial last week.



Dento (Grass), Poddo (Fire), and Kon (Water) are the Sanyou City Gym Leaders. As stated in the previous post, the Gym specializes in Grass, Fire, and Water. Depending on the Starter Pokemon you choose, you will face the Gym Leader of the type that is stronger than you (like when you battle your rival in previous games). They will use their elemental monkeys and possibly other Pokemon of their type.

The magazine is recommending to use Chaobuu, Pokabu's first evolution, against Aloe. Since it's part Fighting it has super effective attacks against her Normal-types.



Pages 32 and 33

In the Dream World you encounter Pokemon on Dream Island. Different Pokemon are in different areas, such as Aerodactyl in the sky and Lotad in ponds. You can capture Pokemon without even playing the actual games, then transfer them over when you're done.

Wily II,

Nah, the only kinda-rage thing he said was that how can an otter end up becoming a unicorn thing

Well now that's quite interesting, I was expecting a triple battle.

[Archer]

People are still arguing that the starter evos are fake.

[Sakura Leic]

Hmm since Dento, Poddo, and Kon are the grass/fire/water gym does that mean there won't be another one along the way?   And wait a minute what the heck is N's role now?
