Ninja'd:Actually Empoleon isn't weak to grass. however it is weak to both fighting and ground given to the other 2 starters so I am not nessacarily sure they are following through on the roundabout type coverage thing.

As far as pokabu's typing fire ground isn't that bad of a type bar water with only 4 resists. However I can also see fire dark because his ears kinda look like a bandana. Fire dark has 4 weaknesses but 7 resists. Either way hoping for a warthog.

Crabhammer has 85% accuracy however but I forgot LeafBlade was boosted to 90 or 95 power so I could accept a water leaf blade,


I thought everyone was speculating it to be Fire/Dark already? lol,
At least that's what I'm hoping for :|
 
did i miss the picture of the mijumaru evo? are you guys talking about the sketches or was there a blown up colored picture of it like for tsuaaja's evo?

Only the sketches so far.
Someone on DA made their own version of the Tsutaja evo based off of those sketches.
 
So are these evolution(s) of Tsutaja and Mijimaru confirmed to be "real"?
Somewhat. Beta artworks seem to proves the female character to be real, but remember that it was a beta drawing. A lot of things could have been changed since it's appears and when it was drawn.

BTW, we only got a silhouette of the new human character. We don't know how much they changed or stayed the same until their truly revealed.

pro

Epic Ronin for sure
 
than why does everyone have a pine cone in their bum about it? its just fan art.
tbh tsuaaja had some great potential but they wrecked it. i was so excited for that one when the silhouettes were out, and seeing the fanart of the lizard with the horn made me want it so bad. but than it was just a rich kid who i wanted to hit

I was also hoping for Fire/Dark, although it's admittedly a horrible defensive typing, it's powerful on the offense and seems to fit Pokabu's color scheme the best (currently, we'll see what his evos look like. I wonder why there's no word on him, yet the other two have been leaked?)

@filth090, this talk is just about the sketches, which were confirmed.

When/Where were they confirmed?
 
O and to point out that the fan out of the water evo wasn't drawn by a fan but was only colored in and taken straight from the beat pose. No new lines were added from what I can see. So you can suspect something simalar to this unless they drastically change from the beta which I sure hope not
 
Lol qwert it evolves into a whole magical city


or a magical enchanted castle ;)
hurray for split evos!

ANYWAYS!
anyone has tried the thing where you create your own server for the gts and then anyone can get the pokemon you upload?
I read on bulbanews, and it seems cool


EDIT: best for last lol
maybe i'll try once i have wifi access (again)

They're saving the best for last, (;
 
If I had the game right now, then I would still pick Tsutarja as my starter.

Its evolution make sense because part of its name in Japanese is Snake, so it becoming more snake-like then it makes perfect sense!
 
I'm liking Sumurai-Mijumaru.
He was my choice from day 1 so all those just jumping on the train can take a hike. :P
The final evo might get a sharp shell on one arm like the fanart yesterday.
Water-Fighting seems likely but they could play up the weapon like they did with Empoleon's trident and make it Water-Steel.

I skipped most the of the bitching about Tstarja's evo but it looks about as expected for a 2nd form.
I'm not seeing the final form as completely limbless but much longer and sitting curled somewhat like a green Chinese Dragon.
http://dailyqi.com/images/dragon green.jpg (not the design, pose or style I have in mind, just an example of the type).

That said, I don't expect it to be Grass-Dragon at all because the typing has a weird relationship with the other starters.
We know from Tsutarja's species and name that it is related to both snakes and ivy plants.
It just seems to be screaming Grass-Poison to me and we haven't had a starter with that typing since Venusaur.
(Funny that all Grass-Poisons are Gen I Pokemon except the Roselia family).

That would be quite a cool final form for Tsutarja!
 
Wow, seems like we're getting new stuff every day now. This is really cool. I especially like the look of that new bat Pokemon, Koromori. All that fur makes me think he might evolve into a "flying fox" (a kind of fruit bat) which has always been one of my favorite animals.

Mijumaru's evo is freakin' badass, even if it does look a bit too much like Marshtomp. At least we can say goodbye to that dumb "SadOtter" meme, because this guy is about as far away from sad as you can get.

As for Tsutaja's evo...I really don't like it, which is disappointing considering that Tsutaja himself was my initial favorite. Okay, I get that his body is supposed to look like a curving leaf, but it just doesn't work. He looks like he's about to fall flat on his face. Here's hoping his final form looks better. Of course, this is beta art, so it could have always been changed since then.

Then there's that little guy standing next to Iris. I really don't know what to think of him. Those whiskers and frill make him look a bit like a dragon, but he also has compound eyes. Bug/Dragon, maybe? I'm still hoping that Ononokusu will be that type (given the segmented armor and "mandibles" on his face), so maybe this pint-sized new Pokemon is his prevo? Meh, I'm probably just seeing what I want to see.
 
If those pictures prove to be completely true, it looks like Mijimaru might be heading towards a Water/Fighting final form, at least IMO. That would be pretty cool but, I WANT A POLAR BEAR!!!

Nah, I'd rather have my avatar.

And besides, Water/Fighting would be great. Anything but another Fire/Fighting.
 
Now that I'm thinking about it, we don't really have too many offensive Water types in OU (I can only think of Empoleon and Gyarados)...so Wotter being Water/Fighting would be legitimate.

Water gets awesome neutral STAB and Close Combat is definitely not weak. Add the fact that virtually all water types get ice moves as well.
