Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
we thought denchura was electric long before we saw him using the electric attack :) his name is electricity + tarantula! and i doubt they'd have him using an attack in a commercial that wasn't his actual type.
as for fireflies, don't take it too hard, but people do call them lightning bugs too...
well, my reply was dickish, but that's my own frustration bursting out about all of these 4chan rumors so close to the games, i want folks to give it a rest! we'll have plenty of REAL new info the end of this week... then only one more week till the games.
anyway don't worry, friend, no harm...
what?? i wasn't even replying to you or any one person... just my response to these rumors which i think are ridiculous. not on the part of the people reading them but on the part of the people doing it.
what is your problem? i seriously meant what i said as a response to the ENTIRE situation...
hahahahaha hahahaha ha ha ha hahahahaa as if japanese would be going to 4chan and typing spoilers in broken english
they are japanese!! they MUST be telling the truth!! way of the samurai!! japanese come to 4chan to give us info!! thanks mighty japanese-sama!!
i just want the game to come out...
did anyone think that fanart was REAL? XD if it's even supposed to be a "fake" it's very very badly done. i think the folks (melkor again? lol) are just trying to draw their idea of it, but people seem to think that silhouette is real... there is no silhouette...
that melkor guy is being cited as an incredibly reliable source by some websites. that twitter is ridiculous though ._. the game comes out in less than two weeks... can't we wait?
isshu was confirmed to be based on new york city! this magazine comes out on friday and is supposed to have a big load of new info too. http://sunyshore.com/scrap/bwnewyork.jpg
RE: scans are fake
the only "source" that "confirms" that is anonymous on 2chan.... i really would be shocked if that scan actually ends up being fake :( 2chan loves to troll english websites with this kind of stuff.
just keep that in mind. the source is 2chan anonymous. XD
yeah, okay. and what i wrote was sort of poking a bit of fun at everyone who thinks anything with some tiny similarity means its an evolution of it EVERY TIME. electric rodents are all rodents. they all look similar to each other. all of them.
man you guys sure are pleasant on here, aren't you...
@ Jesseus: MY POINT EXACTLY!!! XD Same species or family or genus doesn't automatically mean evolutionary line. Or else all the varying moths and butterflies and caterpillars must also evolve into each other XD Among other things.
RE: squirrel must = other squirrel
so far all the other electric rodents are mice or rodents. and none of them evolve into each other beyond the pikachu line. so we got five mice/rats and now two squirrels. i am seriously doubting evolution, and i suspect the similarities are only because they...
again, we have no info at ALL about that pokemon besides its name, who the heck said it is a bug/dragon? XD considering palkia is a water/dragon and jirachi is steel/psychic, who knows what the heck anything's type is anymore? you can't tell by looking. we have to wait!
It's fan-made by Xous! :D
@ Unknown Tsutarja: My bad! Although I think the evolution possibility stands -- a lot of Pokemon look almost nothing like their final evos. The mouth-blades are the clincher for me.
@ Jimbo: I'm sorry, but I don't care at all about post count, and I didn't think discussing Isshu potentially being America based on the things I listed wasn't B/W discussion? The post above mine naming theories about what Isshu is based on was left, but my post with my theories got deleted. =\...
i dunno what needs to be confirmed, haha, i am fluent in japanese and its just an observation. there is no mistake in the meaning of shiki.
in other news, really getting fed up with no revelations about desukan and denchura's faces/types.
i don't think it's on any websites yet (if it is, forgive me), but the deer rumor could have something to it based on the name... 鹿(しか), shika, is deer, so there is that play on words, but 四季(しき), shiki, means "the four seasons". i hope it's true!
I wonder what type Victini is?
I think I've lost my entire post count too, why was the other thread deleted and not just locked :( it had some good discussions on it! It was fun to read.
Still waiting for Desukan and Denchura over here. Getting bored.
ran could be so much... 乱す (みだす、midasu, first kanji is "ran" by itself) kind of means throwing things into disarray. which kind of makes sense if the kurusu really is supposed to be from homunculus.
it could also be 卵, "ran", or "tamago", egg. which could also make a lot of sense, right?...cuz...
yeah basically XD if it were translated properly it would be something like PALKIA YOU FUCKIN' IDIOT!! or PALKIA YOU ASSHOLE!!! it was パルキアのばか!! but said with such force in this case cursing would be best (japanese doesn't have real "cursing" so you can improvise).
in the japanese "electric...
it's a BIRD. birds are similar to each other.
just like arachnids are.
oh my gosh folks probably none of these pokemon are "split evos" or new evos of ANYTHING! seriously, watch 0% of them turn out to be related to anything from before. this is the silliest trend i've ever witnessed. XD
