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!)

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.

 

We’re gonna take a rumor break

Please consider any rumors that I post to be NOT TRUE until PROVEN OTHERWISE.  I was a bit flabbergasted at how much attention my posts yesterday received and they spread a little bit too far for my taste.  My goal is not to be a center of misinformation with this blog and it won’t be.  The rumors posted yesterday could very well be the GameFAQs poster simply contacting me after I posted in his thread and he could claim to be a totally different person.

My motivations for posting rumors are simply to enjoy the speculation between factual news posts, nothing more.  Please do not take anything that is not 100% confirmed so seriously.  Just relax, talk about it, speculate the truthiness of it… etc.  Please do NOT pass it off as real information at other locations.  Otherwise Serebii will chide me on AIM again.  :3

ps- Please have an enjoyable day.  I can’t wait for some new REAL information.

pps- I updated the poll on the sidebar so if you’re too lazy to post a comment, you can still get your opinion to me in about 2 seconds.  One thing I love is reader involvement :3  I hate sites that don’t have comment sections or make you register to post comments or something.  ICK.

ppss- (lol) I’m going to work for the next 6hrs so I fully admit I will miss anything if it crops up.

 

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?

Rumors of new Pokemon

newpokemon 300x225 Rumors of new Pokemon

Yes.  There are rumors that a new pokemon has “big eyes” and “pointy ears”.  OH. MY. GOD.  That only fits about 350 out of 500 pokemon that have been created over the years.  Frankly I don’t know why this was even newsworthy which is why I didn’t bother posting it when SPP put it on their front page this morning.  But apparently I have to waste a news post about it just to make sure you guys know that yes, I am aware that there is going to be a new pokemon revealed (like we thought the first 10 or so were going to be it for the 5th generation?).

Also PokeBeach posted a translation of a blog post that went up last night basically saying there’s a new pokemon called Nezumimi that’s mouse-ish (no surprise there, nezumi is mouse).  Also Reshiram’s tail shoots fire as it flies and Zekrom generates electricity from it’s tail.

So there you go.  In case you don’t look at either SPP or PokeBeach (I do feel moderately obliged to make posts as if people only visit my site), but frankly I find the interest in this “rumor” a little overblown.  I’ll wait until there are pics I can post to actually get excited.  One good thing came of this though, a new category for blog posts “Who Cares”.

EDIT: I’d also like to point out, because I haven’t really seen anyone else, that the blog post also mentioned DSi being used as a videophone for up to 4 people.  Really?  Is that supposed to be a new feature of Black and White?  Wat?

<3 Paul

ps- I do like rumors… but I don’t just like posting 1 vague promise of a generalized pokemon and trying to market it as news.  Although if you guys want another rumor, Grass Mixer, Shell Blade, and Nitro Charge may be special moves exclusive to the starters.
