Pokemon Sunday News: Yanappu + Vid

sunday yanappu3 266x300 Pokemon Sunday News: Yanappu + Vid

Yanappu 「ヤナップ」:

  • Grass Monkey Pokemon
  • Type: Grass
  • Ability: Gluttony
  • Height: ~2ft
  • Weight: 23.1lbs
  • New Move: Acrobat (Video shows it’s effect in triple battle is to attack a pokemon on the far side of it, not normally possible… also base power is doubled if pokemon isn’t holding item.  Flying type?)
  • ‘Ya’ in its name probably comes from ‘yasai’ (vegetable)
  • Aaaaaaand Kriffix is begging me to add in that it is probably Dento who gets Yanappu (because it was mentioned that an important character in the anime WILL get it)

ps- Updated with vid from PLDH, better picture courtesy of mirai_iro.  Thanks Kriffix for your help translating!  I think Yanappu looks better skinny! :3

PSA: Ad Placement Change

Some of you who don’t block ads may notice that I’ve moved the ad from the sidebar to the top of the page under the banner.  I’m experimenting with ad placement in relation to clicks and whatnot.  Unfortunately ads are a necessary evil because PJN, MMC, and Smeargle cost around $170 to host and I am not swimming in money with my day job @ McDonald’s (but I’m putting in my two weeks today w00t w00t).

Just wanted to apologize for the ad but kind of explain why it’s there icon sad PSA: Ad Placement Change  PJN remained ad-free for most of its existence, but eventually I had to cave because asking for donations really doesn’t get you any money and that can be just as annoying as seeing an ad on the page.  So… forgive me?  Please?

<3 pokejungle

ps- You’ll notice that I do NOT place ads to “Pre-Order Black/White” like some sites do.  I do not believe people should be encouraged to pre-order if they do not have a high level of Japanese reading skill.  I would warn against buying the Japanese version because it may not turn out to be as fun as you think it will when you don’t understand anything icon mad PSA: Ad Placement Change

pps- Oh and to make this slightly less boring… ask me a question in comments and I’ll try to reply to you icon biggrin PSA: Ad Placement Change  Keep it appropriate :>

Dento Just Got Even Cooler (UPD)

dentoo1 Dento Just Got Even Cooler (UPD)Hey guys! Your loyal PJN minion ozymandis here! icon biggrin Dento Just Got Even Cooler (UPD) We’ve officially past the “one more month” mark until the release of Pokemon: Black and White! Since PJN has now officially started on the Pokemon: Best Wishes anime news, I’ve decided to give you a little news on our own mascot Dento!

The voice actor who will play Dento is none other then Mamoru Miyano! Now some of you might be going “Uh….who in the heck is that?” Well he’s a very, very famous seiyuu (Japanese voice actor) who does many, many famous characters. Most of the characters that he plays have the same personality: over-dramatic, hilarious, and flamboyant. For you anime fans out there (I know you’re out there commentors!) you’ll probably recognize him for his roles as Tamaki Suo from Ouran High Host Club or Light Yagami from Death Note. So, with this little bit of news here is a video of him playing Tamaki Suo. As you can see, over-dramatic as always icon biggrin Dento Just Got Even Cooler (UPD) (His voice is a bit deeper than most of the chracters he plays, but you get the idea.)

I think with Miyano voicing him with his over-dramatic self just confirms even more how he’ll be in the  Pokemon Musicals and hopefully that personality will cross over to the video game as well.

UPD: Iris will be voiced by Aoi Yuki. She doesn’t really have any noteworthy roles.

So with that, any opinions? Do you love the choice? Hate it? Comment down below! icon biggrin Dento Just Got Even Cooler (UPD)

peace and love-ozymandis

P.S. Paul and I are trying to put together a Pokemon giveaway but we’re having trouble thinking of ideas on how to do it. icon razz Dento Just Got Even Cooler (UPD) So put your ideas in the comments and stay tuned to see what pokemon we’ll give away!

P.P.S Also, i tried finding a good video of of Kida Masaomi from Durarara!! because Miyano plays Kida EXACTLY how he plays Dent. But alas, i couldn’t find a video. DX So if anybody knows one please link it below!

2ch Rumors I (UPD1)

We’re gonna start NUMBERING these bad boys from now on.  Since I am waaaaaaay too lazy to actually check what rumor post this is we’re gonna start from the beginning: 1.  As usual, these are most likely false and simply intended to give us food for thought and spark discussion.  Read at your own discretion :3 UPD1: As S. Masukippa pointed out I did gloss over a few minor deets.  Have updated in italics.

  • Shimama evolves into Zeboruto (Zebolt) which is an Electric/Dark pokemon
  • Darumakka evolves into Darumanki (darumonkey) which evolves into Hihidaruma [Doesn't seem like a 3 stage pokemon IMO]
  • Kibago -> Onokkusu -> Ononokusu Which is a pure dragon line
  • One of the new pokemon seen in the video posted the other day is Meguroko’s evo.  Not sure if this is the recent Octopus/Green thing video or that brown pokemon in the entrance to the Pokemon Musical
  • OhaSuta will air a new image next Friday
  • Next month’s CoroCoro issue will focus on Doryuuzu, Desukan, Emonga, Basurao, Tabunne, Darumakka, Kurokodon Aoika, and Wakoiasu.  [Those last three are not pokemon we've heard of before]
  • Doryuuzu is Ground/Steel.  Its ‘Drill Liner’ attack has a base power of 95 and the shit-tastic accuracy of 85% [The rumor didn't SPECIFICALLY say shit-tastic]
  • Desukan is Ground/Ghost.  Rumor says there is only 1 in the game and you encounter it north of Hiun City in the ‘Murai Desert‘.  Apparently there is an underground pass you must go through and Desukan blocks it.  [Sudowoodo much?]  When it’s lid is open it looks like a transparent mummy-ish ghost inside.
  • Other pokemon that they didn’t know the name of include a rabbit, purple poodle-like pokemon, parrot that looked like a grass type, an elephant, a peacock, polar bear, gourd[?], koala, psychic/water dolphin, and finally a cat with brown eyes.

These sound just as fake as most 2ch rumors, but it certainly should spark some conversation!  Psychic dolphin anyone?  The ‘gourd’ katakana has a lot of different translations so it may be something else.  Whatevs.

<3 pokejungle

ps- Really hope OhaSuta DOES show a new pokemon next week!!
