Tabunne is too cute.

Also, pokejungle rumors probably fake- they say Darumakka doesn't have arms, and that conflicts with the new pictures on Serebii.

Tabunne looks a bit odd <_<. And Darumakka did look like it had no hands/feet in the first photo... But considering sprites are dynamic, the dude should have noticed arms pop out.

Wondering how Basurao will fit into the inner strength/inner beauty theme. . .maybe it has inner happiness or inner peace?

It wont. Stop trying to pigeonhole the new Pokemon, it just doesn't work that way. GF is barely consistent in the different "roles" of each Pokemon (aside from starters + early bird + early rodent + early bug [**which wasn't done in Gen4**]).

Basurao is just a fish you catch with a rod. Ta~da.

apparently the "plant owl", wakoshi, and the emonga sprite are fake. Just to clear things up emonga itself is not fake just the sprite for it

Source?

I stick by my opinion that Gamefreak isn't knowledgeable enough to specifically make a Pokemon OU.

Regigigas was clearly not meant to be a shitty Pokemon. Garchomp likely was not made to be Uber. Scizor was probably not given Bullet Punch for the sole purpose of making it OU.

They might make some moves/abilities more powerful, because they know a competitive scene exists. However, I highly doubt they are knowledgeable enough to make a Pokemon specifically for the OU metagame. In fact that would be impossible because the metagame changes constantly. What works now won't work by the time Black and White are released.

It is silly to think that Pokabu will end up getting a great secondary typing/stat spread just because a starter has never been below UU in its debuting generation. They likely do not tailor the starters for a specific metagame. They just give them a generally above average stat spread and a decent movepool.

Also, if they do have any knowledge of the "competitive metagame" it's more than likely not our rules. Japanese players have different rules and clauses and banned Pokemon than our western metagame. IIRC, OHKO moves aren't banned while Heracross was/is.

And yeah, I doubt they gave Scizor Bullet Punch with the mindset to make it "OU". They probably saw it had a shitty movepool and could use some more options and what happened, happened.
 
Basuaro is going to be this gens Qwilfish/Goldeen/Lumineon. With moves like Aqua Jet and such, it can't be a serpent pokemon. That's reserved for another little fishy.

I'm disappointed in Tsutaja being a Sceptile clone, but maybe there will be a saving grace in its evolution, such as a good secondary type and different stats. God knows it's just going to be Charizard/Typhlosion all over again, though.

This wouldn't be the first time they copypasta'd a starter. -_-

Just look at Blaziken and Infernape. Same typing and very similar roles. If Tsutaja does end up to be a Sceptile clone I hope he is to Sceptile what Infernape is to Blaziken (superior in every way).


Tsutaja is an anole.

Except he isn't. He is clearly marked as the grass snake Pokemon, and not the grass lizard Pokemon.

However, the snake he is based off of is non-venomous. So Poison wouldn't fit.

Well he is marked as it, but he still looks more like an anole IMO. And Blaziken can pull off a combo that Infernape can't: Focus Sash + Agilty + Reversal. My favorite :)
But I do hope he ends up better than Sceptile and part Electric.
 
empoleon is water/steel, when it should be water/flying because it's based off a type of bird. owait gamefreak doesn't give a shit

therefore -> just because it's based off a snake, venomous or not, doesn't mean tsutaja must be part poison.
 
Tsutaja is an anole. And don't... ever...say...that...again... he is not gonna be part poison... I will KILL GF if it ends up part poison. End of story.

Lol. I wouldn't like it Poison either, but you know, GF likes to play with our emotions and troll us. Maybe Electric or Steel for me.


P.S.: Nowadays these fakes are just too real (Thank God that Emonga sprite was fake. It wasn't good at all.)
 
umm dunno if someone mentioned it.. but, for me...tabunne look like an evolved chillarmy...
well technically I think that just the eyes are the same.. and maybe the rest of the face. (Cant tell, but tabunne have a linear smile and an almost inexistent nose.. similar to chillarmy)

anyway think about this..we have two normal mammals with big ears that are bipedal... and have double slap and helping hand.

maybe a translation approch can help ..

inb4 not same color pattern, blah, blah, blah
 
I think the only thing we can confidently say about Tsutarja is that it will get Glare.

I'm not sure how useful it will be, mind, but if it doesn't get glare I'll be shocked.

Chillarmy has Sweep Slap, not Double Slap. I also don't see a tail so I doubt it. Have we seen Chillarmy use Helping Hand?
Even ignoring the color thing, it'd be weird for it to lose its tail...and well everything that made it identifiable.
Tabunne is perfectly upright, has no tail, completely different ears, markings, disposition.
Level 10 would be a pretty early time for a non-bug to evolve, too. Why not just show Chillarmy, you know?
 
Well he is marked as it, but he still looks more like an anole IMO.

You know what he looks like more? A fucking snake. He fits the physical description almost perfectly. Lizards and snakes can look similar. That doesn't mean that they are interchangeable.

You can scream that he is based off an anole all you want. Saying an untrue statement louder and longer does not make it true.

That combo happens to be near useless in the competitive metagame unless you lead with it, and it happens to be a terrible lead.

Saying that a grass snake Pokemon is actually a lizard because lizards and snakes look similar is fucking retarded.

Jesus, calm down. The guy was just stating an opinion. No reason to get huffy over nothing. You can disagree with someone without being offensive.
 
"Mijumaru has a high Attack stat and they speculate that its final evolution may be Water / Fighting."

GF trolled us with Victini's typing (really, who saw Psychic / Fire coming?), but maybe, just maybe they'll give us a Water / Fighting to finally play with this gen. A guy can only hope...

And then Mijumaru became Water/Bug

Opinions can be wrong. He got upset that someone said it could be poison type because it was based off an anole (wrong). At that time he stated it as fact, not opinion. I showed that he was incorrect.

He then responds with "Well it says he is a grass snake, but I'd still prefer to be wrong and think he is really a grass lizard."

I find that pretty frustrating especially when he was throwing a fit over how someone could think a snake could be poisonous.

And it isn't getting huffy over nothing. It is getting huffy over the fact that someone is sticking to an opinion shown to be incorrect no matter how much evidence contradicts them.

Of coarse opinions can be wrong. However much I agree with you doesn't mean that being brash is the right way to go.

Now, onto something else.

Anyone have an idea of what Tabunne could possibly be based off of? I'm stumped; the little ball things look kinda like bells, but that doesn't really help much.
