  1. My source confirmed that PXP is making all of these silhouettes and typings and facts up.

    Serebii also confirmed that my source confirmed it.

          • And you’re getting mad for no reason whatsoever. My source has confirmed that I’m acting like I’m an adult because I am one. That’s also been confirmed.

            Seriously though, PXP has no proof that anything they’re saying is true and all Serebii has done in his own defense is say that “his source would be upset” if he “started releasing what he knew.”

            It’s HELLA fishy and I know I’m not the only one that thinks that this entire thing is a hoax created by those Spanish derps to try and get a bunch of attention.

          • We’ll find out one way or another soon. Everyone just needs to take a chill pill for a couple more days.

            (And Melchior… I have to agree that constant “My source” this and “My Source” that does get annoying, even to those with endless patience like myself. 🙂 )

  2. This has already been explained several times, people: The cat Pokémon is real, they just removed it from the video because it wasn’t supposed to be known yet.

    Translated by a friend on Serebii Forums

    Ken Sugimori, primary illustrator: I really struggled the most with the Water-type [starter] this time.
    Yusuke Ohmura, illustrator: There was talk of, “Wouldn’t a sea otter be good for the Water starter?” But it was a really close decision in terms of what this sea otter would become once it evolves. In the end, we decided to have it evolve into something with a completely different appearance.
    Sugimori: Of course, we want to make the starters into Pokémon that remain with the player throughout the game, so we hope to make them evolve into creatures that offer a surprise to the player. We always make an effort to throw in some twists and create third-stage evolutions that have an impact.
    Ohmura: There was also talk this time about dividing the three starters into Japanese, Western, and Chinese styles of design. Tsutaaja was based on Western design, and Pokabu was rooted in a Chinese style, so I was told, “Let’s make Mijumaru into a more Japanese-style design.” Someone even asked, “Can’t you make Mijumaru into a samurai?” [laughs]
    Everyone: [laughs]
    Sugimori: I worried about it for a while, and I eventually went to go see the sea otters at the aquarium. I happened to catch the sea lion show while I was there, and I became aware of the sea lion’s power. “Well, let’s try blending a sea otter and a sea lion,” I thought. I came up with the idea of making the shell on Mijumaru’s stomach into a sword (katana) and using it to fight, and that’s how I completed Mijumaru and its evolution.”

  4. Idk why, but one of the host from Pokémon Sunday looks a bit like Hitler :S Don’t really like that idea. I mean, with that face he makes for the animated him, and that “moustache” it just looks like him :S

    Stop saying that the cat is fake and that Melkor photoshopped it their because unless Melkor magically put it in the commerical when it was on tv its real

  6. I cant wait to the game comes out so these wars will stop

    But I bet even when the games r realesaed people will still be having these arguments about if its fake or not

  7. Miju’s final should be Water/Fighting since Ken Sugimori states Miju’s evo is based on samurai and it’s using shell to fight. I really don’t understand.

    • For some reason your posts went in the ‘spam’ folder ><; Sometimes WordPress is a bit too sensitive D: URLs trigger it, but your post is up now :3

  8. I’m hoping Miju’s final evo has a seashell shuriken. That’d be a sight to see! *not believing the unofficially confirmed evos until Nintendo reveals them officially*

    I’m also expecting Pokabu to evolve into a Fire-Dark type, because I think that would go better with its supposed bomb motif better than the Fighting-type. And I agree — Fighting would fit a lot better on Mijumaru’s evolutions.

  9. Is anyone here to comment on the character???!!!! LOL

    I like the character design. If he really does own an Umbreon like on the beta sheet, I will be happy (Eeveelution!) and at the same time confused. Isshu is supposed to be very far away from the other places, and old Pokemon are supposed to be basically nonexistant, right? Well, episode four, in waltzes a character from Gen II. O.o Is he also from Kanto/Johto/etc? Did an Eevee get very, VERY lost? Did he order it on the Pokemon world’s equivalent of Ebay?

    *sigh* Guess we’ll find out eventually. Or maybe not.

    Reply
  10. I just don’t get it… Sugimori specifically said that someone asked for Mijumaru’s evolution to be based off of a samurai. And he also stated that he would turn the shell ON ITS CHEST into a sword. He never said anything about putting it on its head. :s And the supposed Mijumaru3 evo has a horn, not a sword. =/

    But seriously, if these starter evolutions turn out to be real… then I might not use my starter at all.
    Usually, I would’ve gotten used to these evolutions by now, but I still hate them to death. …*Sigh* I guess it’s time to find a Pokemon that can replace Pokabu. u_u

      • I was speaking for myself. T_T
        You have your opinion, and I have mine. And to me, it doesn’t even look like that Miju3 evo can even stand. Let alone hold a sword. XD

        Reply
      • The issue I’m having though, is that he has flippers… with claws… not feet. It’d be impossible for him to stand on two legs. Plus, if he is a sea lion, the legs are far too long.

        Reply
    • I agree, things don’t add up. It isn’t bipedal, which means it can’t be a samuri (it can’t hold a sword), It doesn’t have a shell katana, and it doesn’t look japanese. And regardless of this, samuri would be a fighting type, not a pure water type.

      I never believed the 3rd evo of Miju anyway, to many things were abrupt, it turned quadruped, grew a BIG shell on it’s head, grew a moustache and beard, got rid of the samuri top-knot and “clothing”.
      Basically, it took everything from the second evo, which is real, and said “Just kidding!”

      Reply
    • Whoa Calm down Charlie Brown and who said I said it stands up a uses its sword i thought it would put
      its sword in its mouth like okami.I probally still knows shell blade by the third stage soo this could happen

      Reply
  11. Also, I think I understand now why Ash’s rival is named Shoot. Not only does it refer to his hobby as a Pokemon photographer (as in “to shoot photos”), but a shoot is another name for a sprouting plant, which explains why he gets Tsutaaja.

    Which makes me wonder: how is Dent’s name related to Grass-types? Usually, the name of a gym leader can give players a clue as to what type of Pokemon they use, but I can’t figure this one out.

    Of course, if the names of the other two leaders in his gym just happen to be named Kent and Brent (or something similar), then that would mean the gym’s theme would just be triple-battling.

    Reply
    • And his name isn’t Shoot, it’s Shooty/Shooti. With foreign words in Japanese, if they get a word that ends in ‘t’ or ‘d’, they use ‘to’/’do’ at the end of it. (Like Dento can be Dent) Since they didn’t name him Shooto, the vowel at the end is supposed to be there and supposed to be pronounced.

  12. In response to the sword conversation, I’ve often heard that a sword should be treated as an extension of your arm, so the body is still considered a primary part of swordfighting.

  13. Another new from PxP:

    Gear DOES evolve TWICE.

    Hiro said that the 3rd stage is very similar compared to the 2nd one. He also said that Chillarmy’s evolution is also very similar to him. That is the reason why he find those 2 Pokémon the worst of the dex. X.x

    ps- Pokejungle. Why don’t you post the proof of the autenticity of the starter’s evolutions?

    Reply
        • It will be revealed today.

          They are going to reveal 10 Pokémon each day (definitions or artwork)
          So today we will end with the number 549. And tomorrow ’til 559 an it will continue like this until the 649 number.

          Gear is the number 599, so we will have to wait to the description of its evolutions ^^

          Reply
      • PxP = Pokexperto

        Chillarmy DOES evolve. But they say his evolution is to similar to him. What I mean is that he doesn’t change to much when evolving.
        That is. Sorry if I didn’t explain myself.

        Reply
        • You’re not the one contradicting yourself. It’s everyone who is “leaking” info. I heard it doesn’t evolve. Then it does. Then it doesn’t and is a gimmick. Now it does. O_o

          This is why some people don’t believe.

          Reply
          • Hiro always said Chillary evolved. The information may have been distorted before arriving you, which is very common.

            Even Pokejoungle has posted bad interpretation’s of pokexperto’s quotes as true.

            Pokemon that does NOT evolve include, Tabunne, Emonga, (those two don’t have a prevo as well) Swanna, Gochiruzeru, Rankurusu and Basurao (we don’t have information of any possible preevo of those already).

            * I asume Rankurusu does not evolve, because they said Gochiruzeru don’t.

      • PxP means Pokexperto, I’m sorry it is confusing.

        And that onion question is going to be revealed very soon. But I asume it is obviously evolving.

  14. I wonder if the last two fighting pokemon and these two grass type are going to be spilt into different games. So the fighting type with the plank and the sheep is in White, and Judo and sweede(I dunno what it is.) is in Black.

    Reply
        • If that would be the case i would think swaana would be in white cause it looks like a gentle pokemon and white looks gentle beacause of all the green forests and stuff and i think wargle would be in black just beacaue it looks like would belong their

  16. Apparently pokemon pia stated about mijumaru and how it’s evo’s may be.
    “… We thought, why not mix a otter and a seal? We always wanted a twist in the evolutions, and impact.”

    I’m sorry guys, I think the evo’s are turning out true. We’ll have to live with them.

    Reply
  17. I know by now that he’s probably telling the truth, he has too much backing up his info. But how did the Spanish guy a copy/rom of the Japanese game? And does he have Black or White ^_^ Probably both.

    So yeah, kind of supports the claims as to why these might be fake. But his info is far too accurate and the Pokemon aren’t very Fakemon. Frankly, I give up now. I need a hobby.

  18. i cant wait for the games to be out not becasue i want to play them its because i cant wait till everyone shuts the f up and stops arguing and acting immature..if its not from a reliable source like coro coro or pokemon sunday or some thing like that then just dont take it seriously come on!

  20. Alright, something I thought of today. Was the move ‘Hydro Punch’ ever confirmed? If it was, then who learned it? And if Mijumaru learned it, how would he be able to punch with his third evo?

    Reply
    • Although I’ve never heard of the Hydro Punch rumor, I agree that Miju3 is going to look odd using certain moves…

      Miju3 used Ice Punch! Lacking hands, Miju3 failed!
      Tsu3 used Scratch! Lacking arms, Tsu3 failed!

      …That does make you wonder about perspective movesets.

      Reply
        • Well it’d actually be possible for that. Staraptor used Close Combat. I can believe those as A.) To use Metronome, all you have to do is wag your finger. Moving his wings from side to side shouldn’t be too much of an issue for Togekiss. B.) Drain Punch brings me back to Staraptor, who I believe uses Close Combat with his feet and beak. Togekiss (according to the anime) is able to move his wings enough that it would be able to punch.

  21. One last thing:

    The only bright side I can see about the alleged evo typings is that I don’t have to evolve my Tsutarja. Since it apparently doesn’t gain another type, I can keep my Leavi cute and smug =)

  22. HEY! tomorrow pokemon peer is released right? with the charmander squirtle and bulbasaur thing and the interviews with the pokemon designers and designers of the game… so we could get new info?!

  23. In previous beginnings of new generations, people wonder why Pikachu isn’t uber-strong and not beating all the other rookies straight away. Up until now it hasn’t made sense but it seems like this time they will cover it.
    Pikachu can no longer use his electric attacks, I wonder how long that’ll last for (it seems to be more than a couple of episodes). It explains the use of Iron Tail a lot in teasers and pics though.

    Reply
      • That would be so interesting. I’d really like to see that happen, it’d be like Pokemon actually has a solid objective, trying to get Pikachu back his power! 😀

        Reply
  24. I just noticed something after watching that video again — Zekrom is the reason that Pikachu loses his electricity!

    Quick, Ash, to the nearest power plant! =P

    Reply
  25. Ash gets a Tsutaaja also, this one belongs to Shooti, I doubt they would even care to show him catch it. And we see that this battle with Shooti’s tsutaaja takes place in the FIRST episode, before Ash gets Mijimaru. Mijamru is shown in a preview fighting a Tsutaaja, this is probably the one Ash catches. They advertised that Ash catches them all in one of the previews, I guess to promote them for the games.

    Reply
  26. Now, I dunno if someone said this but based on the preview…

    Ash MIGHT be given Mijumaru by Araragi after his Pikachu is unable to use his (YESH PIKACHUISMALE) electric attacks (Fridge Logic: WHAT IN ARCEUS’ NAME HAPPENED TO IRON TAIL AND QUICK ATTACK!? I’m pretty sure Pikachu has those attacks), if this anime is following the original’s footsteps, Ash might get Tsutaaja and Pokabu some way.

    Reply
    • Looks like they’ve made Pikachu the weak link AGAIN.
      Sure he beat a Latios but he fainted afterwards, that jerboa needs serious redemption.
      Hopefully in Episode 4 he could get a new move to somehow fix this oversight.

  27. Look what I just saw… Right before Pikachu gets struck by the lightning:

    I took a screenshot of that… I noticed this on my iPod Touch while watching this video for the billionth time (I have no life)… Team Rocket on the left, Ash and Pikachu on the right, and THEY’RE FIGHTING OVER PIKACHU, WHO IS IN A NET… that part of the video made no sense ’til I paused it there.
