NOA Rumor, con’t (FALSE)

by

Nezumimi (ネズミミ) and Namakusu (ナマクス) according to source

For better or for worse, I think many of us had our interest piqued by the rumors I posted earlier today that were revealed to me by someone claiming to work for Nintendo of America.  Through a back and forth discussion with me, he shed light on a few more things.  Remember this is still NOT CONFIRMED and TOTALLY a RUMOR. As soon as we get some Pokemon names from leaked screenshots or the like we are still very much in the dark about whether or not this information is accurate.

  • New Pokemon: Memera (メーメーラ) – Red sheep pokemon that has a smoke-cloud-ish body. (Me-me- is like baa-baa-)
  • New Pokemon: Makkusuma (マックスマ) – Possible new fire/ice type that is similar to an icicle but also has flames coming out of it
  • Namakusu (ナマクス) -> Onokusu (オノクス) -> Ononokusu (オノノクス)
  • Atokurosu is probably based on Atlas, from Greek mythology (Just like Heracross, Hercules)
  • Kasame has one eye, might be ghost/water.  Based on the kasa-obake of Japanese folklore (pic of japanese painting)
  • Toraroiya is a very mechanical pokemon with a large body.
  • ENGLISH names for the starters were hinted at, with their names playing off of slither, hog, and rookie.  Do I need to tell you which is which?  ;p

That’s it for now.  Make sure you’re taking this with a grain of salt.

ps- no, I do not just “make up rumors” to get traffic.  I post rumors because they’re interesting to read and speculate about and I certainly make it EXCEEDINGLY clear when something is not confirmed.  I am waiting just as eagerly as you for something to leak to either confirm or deny this rumor.

You all do realize that the GameFAQs poster could be the same guy as this right?

  1. Ivyslither, Charhog, and Rookotter sound pluasable if the starter thing is true.
    I really hope this stuff holds true, but I’m still iffy on all of these rumors all of a sudden.

    That’s all for now.

  6. Remember that those words are not just thrown into the starters’ names in their entirety. Probably not going to be “ivyslither”. Something like Slivy lol. Totally kidding.

    And Bob I’ve asked of him all that I feel comfortable doing :3 This is what it is, a rumor.

  8. New input on new names.
    Meemeera= Okay, haha, ‘meemee’ (baabaa, like you said) + ‘meramera’ (burning) Really awful pun.
    Makkusuma= I don’t know exactly, the closest I can guess is ‘max’ + ‘magma.’ Maxma. Doesn’t seem particularly appropriate for a Fire/Ice type, so I’m probably wrong.
    Namakusu= ‘namakura’ (dull, like a blade) or ‘namakubi’ (a severed head. Uhh…)
    Onokusu= Ononokusu (from ‘ononoku,’ to shiver/shudder (like in terror)) – 1 ‘no’. Interestingly, ‘ono’ can mean ‘axe’, like the blades coming from Ononokusu’s mouth.
    Again, Heracross and Atokurosu come from two different species of beetle, the Hercules beetle, and the Atlas beetle. Strangely, the Hercules beetle is stronger than the Atlas beetle. Hmm…

  13. Heracross is based on the Hercules beetle (Hercules + Cross), maybe Atokurosu is based in Atlas beetle. The Hercules have one horn, the atlas three.

  16. I hope the umbrella pokemon turns out to be real, it’s just so mad it must be true.

    I can imagine the uproar at an umbrella pokemon though….I think we’d have to evacuate the internet for a few days for them to calm down. :S

    • The truth is…. It’s minezumi. Probably some misspelling from the rumor guy…. and now they have onokkusu mentioned again… could this be real??
