NOA Rumor 3 + tidbits (FALSE)

This is rumor territory and should NOT under ANY circumstances be counted as fact until it is PROVEN. Please enjoy it for what it is.  Below are some more tidbits that the “NOA contact” has sent me, but remember that NOTHING has been proven about what he has said thus far.  Here goes:

  • Mijumaru has a fairly stoic disposition, it’s not frowning because it’s sad.
  • Munna is NOT related to drowzee and has a powerful evolution ala Magikarp/Feebas
  • Giaru (Gear) has a “special relationship” to another pokemon that could be controversial.  Not sure exactly what this means, but we have had Shellder/Slowbro… Remoraid/Mantine sort of stuff.
  • Chiramii, Hihidaruma, and Shimama do NOT evolve
  • Mamepato’s “Pidgeon Breast” ability is rather reflective of it’s “defensive” nature and goes along somewhat with its evolutions which are replace normal with another type.  It has 2 more evolutions like most starting bird pokemon.
  • Meguroko’s name is actually derived from the “me” (eye in Japanese) and it becomes apparent in its evolution which features a very Egyptian-ish design for the eye.
  • Moguryu has two evolutions, so there is one in the middle before it evolves into Doryuuzu (the drill mole pokemon we saw earlier)
  • Dunchura (the tarantula) is a second stage evolution
  • Serufiru does NOT evolve… directly.  It could be a form changing pokemon ala Rotom
  • Gizajemu is not related to Nosepass and he Sugimori art actually has yellow gems instead of Red, so there could be a color-changing aspect in its lore, if not in the game itself
  • Goshikkuro is an evolved pokemon with opposite typing
  • Koromori because less like the “new zubat” people have been describing it as when it evolves (I think this was just the catchall term people have been using because it’s the new bat-like pokemon, possibly something you’ll encounter early on.  So this could mean that it is stronger than Zubat line or less bat-like)

Alright!  That is it for that!  Buuuuut a Japanese blog has also written up an interesting new rumor!

  • The video chat for up to 4 players using DSi or DSi XL systems (which was mentioned in a rumor previously) will be called Live Caster (or Live Cast) and will be accessible mid-way through the adventure from the C-Gear.

That’d be cool 8D

It’s not much, but it’s something

bw preorder 134x300 Its not much, but its something

So there’s the VERY TINY rendition of the brown pokemon’s official art.  What is more interesting though are those black/white styled headphones :p  I believe it’s just saying that if you pre-order you can enter to win a pair or one of the DS Card Cases.  This confirms the information I posted several days ago that pre-orders start the 31st of July (JPN) and Black/White has a confirmed MSRP of ¥4,800 which is the normal price for Pokemon games.

Rumors later, so check back!

Midnight wrap-up

Alright… so technically for me it’s only 11, but don’t call me on that.  Rumor guy (good nickname or what?) has given me a few new things to chew on BUT I will not be posting them until at least something that he has said thus far can be confirmed.  [*read "ps"] However given the scope of the NOA rumors something should be proven or disproven sooner rather than later.

…I’ve been holding off posting this just because I was hoping some news would pop up at the last second so I wouldn’t feel like such a lame person.  *sigh*  MLA (MY LIFE IS AVERAGE!)

<3 pokejungle

ps- wow, strong initial reactions in the comments and 86% on the poll want me to keep posting rumors.  Sooooo check back tomorrow and you shall receive.  I’m not gonna lie though, I’m not sure why you don’t want to wait until we can at least verify this source before posting more of it.  But yeah, I’ll post it after I wake up tomorrow.  Honestly though it’s not ME just making this up and I’m only gonna post it because people are actually asking me to icon neutral Midnight wrap up  Do NOT pass this off as even REMOTELY true.  Plz.  For my sanity.  おやすみ!

Ok, last note, I swear.  If you ever want to get a hold of me directly please contact me through Mount Moon since I don’t use an email for PJN or anything.

 

NOA Rumor, con’t (FALSE)

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?

 

NOA Rumor (FALSE)

I was contacted this morning by a person (going by MO) claiming to have some inside credentials (from NOA) into the games, so I’ll post some information that he sent me, but this should not be considered anything but a rumor until I get some proof.  You know me though… I do love rumors :3 Small update, I’ve added in possibilites of what the alleged Pokemon names could mean. Someone else did name translating too, look in the comments!

  • Besides the Kurimori gaf, the Japanese names from the GameFAQs post ARE more or less correct.
  • Pokabu’s evolution is named Boirubuta (ボイルブタ) and is reminiscent of a “stove” (Basically boil + pig).  Final evolution is named Ranranbo (ランランボ) (Ranran = flaming).  Ranranbo is a boar with steam coming out.
  • Tsutaja’s evolution is named Tsutawaiya (ツタワイヤ) (tsuta = ivy) and final evolution is named Tsutatesura (ツタテスラ) (Tsuta = ivy).  Final is a green cobra-ish Pokemon.
  • Mijimaru’s evolution is named Yuudatsu (ユウダツ) (datsu = otter) and final evolution is named Rakkobushi (ラッコブシ) (Otter Warrior).  Rakkobushi is a big otter with shells across its body.
  • Heracross gets an evolution named Atokurosu (アトクロス) (Kurosu = Cross)
  • New pokemon resembling an umbrella named Kasame (カサメ) (could be mixing umbrella + shark)
  • New steel type called Toraroiya (トラロイヤ) (No idea, but tora = tiger)

oha pokemon3 300x205 NOA Rumor (FALSE)According to source these pokemon are Serufiru (セルフィル) (Seru = cell) for the green one, Gizajemu (ギザジェム) (Jemu = gem) for the rock one, and Goshikkuro (ゴシックロ) (combining Gothic + black) is the black dress one.

Thoughts?
