I know my loyal readers have all be wondering where the rumors are. Unfortunately I have to wait for them to surface before I can report them… but finally I found some dirt. You should take them exactly as I do; worthless until proven. But we can have fun discussing them and hypothesizing :3 2 rumors below are from two different sources…
Rumor 1: Starter Evolution names. I’ve listed in parentheses how the names could be derived.
- Pokabu -> Hiiton (heat + Ton=Pig) -> Fureiboa (flare boar)
- Mijumaru -> Rakonosuke(Sea otter+boy’s name) -> Umiemon (Sea+Boy’s name)
- Tsutaaja -> Hanaaja (flower snake) -> Moriija (forest snake)
Rumor 2: Possible new pokemon that they saw
- Konotateha – Camouflage Pokemon – Bug/Flying > Poster said its wings look like dead leaves and also speculated it could be the final stage of Kurumiru. [I’d be devastated if it loses its part grass typing ;_;]
- Jogatto – Trick Pokemon – Steel > Poster said it looks like a box that Giaru/Gear comes out of, looks kind of antique-ish
That’s all for now!
<3 pokejungle
ps- Glad that some rumors popped up?
i know the creation of bug pokemon is at least partially to stay true to satoshi tajiri’s original vision but they’ve really got to start doing more than making weak, generic bugs with booooring type combos. fuck
nargghhhhhh i’m getting real pissed at these obviosuly fake rumors… DX
oh and Rakkonosuke .. the character limit is 5 right?
so then io guess that shows it’s a fake? O.o
Might be a dumb question but what’s to say the character limt in B&W is the same as the older games?
That’s actually a valid point. Since the connectivity to DPPtHGSS is so far only one way, they COULD change it.
…………….if they did, I would be ecstatic if the English version gets more than 7 spaces for names. Do you know how many 8 letter names there are??? I’ve got one of them, and it’s driven me crazy since Blue. I mean, Japan gets 10 characters and we’re only good enough for 7?
English names can have ten letters…feraligatr
Er, I meant player names.
well so far, yes. :/
that’s what makes this rumor reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll fake. XP
Do u guys remeber the REALLY ol drumor that said Gearu had a “controversial relationship” with another pokemon?
That rumor was fake. Kooroboshi Kojiro made that and others up.
I have a hard time predicting secondary types for the starters… Besides Mijumaru, I definitely believe it’ll be Water/Fighting.
jadokuchiba jadoku= snake venom, kuchiba= decayed leaves… i think this would work work for a grass poison.
hey pokejungle,
when will oha satu aire?didint you say on monday?
Should be weekday mornings.
Maybe Thursday, Oha Suta will reveal more information on the games, as well as some new Pokemon.
I would like to see this : grass/ghost fire/dark and water/fighting. Have anyone ever consider the fact that pokemon often splice and or change there entire species after evelution?
Tsutaaja: ivy snake, second stage: skink/Cherry Plum flower, third stage: komodo dragon/Prunus pendula????
Pokabu: saddleback pig, second stage saddleback pig, third stage: warthog/boar
Mijumaru: sea otter, second stage: sea otter, third stage: giant otter?????
I obviously wrong.
I didn’t have the time to look through every comment so I’m not sure if anyone said this yet.
-I don’t believe kurumiru will lose it’s grass/bug type upon evolution. Just because it has wings doesn’t mean it’s a flying type (just look at vibrava: it has wings but it’s ground/dragon)
-Plus many people are calling it a moth or something similar when from the description of it’s evolution: it’s no doubtingly gonna turn into a “leaf insect” pokemon. (leaf insect is actually the name of the bug, google it!)
Also I had heard somewhere that Pokabu aka Hiiton was gonna gain dark type as it’s secondary element. Not ground!!
Obviously fake.
@Pokejungle:If Pokaby turns out to be Fire/Poison, I’m naming mine Naga or Okkoto. Demon Boar FTW
Gear evolving into a Trick pokemon makes sense….I’ve always thought gear looked a bit like a joker/clown.
i don’t think it will evolve into it, but there was a rumor wayyyyyyyyyyy back that said it woyuld have a relationship with a pokemon. (like remoraid and manatine)
i am pretty exited for the anime, too bad i dont know japanese:(
i have searched all the net for a website tha feature new japanese episodes with english subs but i couldnt find:(
could anybody give me a website that feature this?
has it allready strated yet?
i thought the new anime starts next week?
New anime starts next month, actually.
Oh, while I’m thinking about it–
Konotateha is a strange combination of “konoha” or “leaves” (I’m sure you know Naruto fans out there know this one…) and… my best bet is like, “tate” or “shield” or something.
Jogatto… really no idea, best guess is a combination of “joke” and a corruption of “gotta”, a jumbled mess.
In case you guys cant tell….I hope the Gearu counterpart is real
My guesses- Starters- Tsutaja will evolve into either a Grass/ Poison or a Grass/ Psychic, Mijumaru will be Water/Fighting, and Pokabu will either be pure fire or Fire/Dark (as he kind of reminds me of a bandit of some sort.)
As for the rumors… I really don’t know. I kind of hope the gear evolution and camoflage pokemon (although I don’t like that it’s Bug/Flying) happen though.
And in other news, I finally persuaded my mom to import me a copy of Black. Yay ^^
Grass/Psychic seems a stretch…tbh it doesn’t look like a Pokemon that will evolve into a Psychic type. Dark is more plausible what with its smug expression and stuff.
nahh i don’t think it would become grass/dark.
grass/psychic would be more realistic.
I don’t think it will become Grass/Dark, I was just saying that imo Grass/Dark seems more plausible than Grass/Psychic. However both of these combinations are unlikely.
I was hoping Grass/psychic since the beginning. Usually when a Pokemon has a “classy” look like that, they become psychic.
Pokabu is meant to be either a bandit or a biker. Its pretty obvious with the shaping of his ears and suggestion of a mask.
i knoww DX
that’s why i’m crossing my fingers VERY hard.
Actually, Tsutarja’s Pokedex seemed to imply it was very intelligent, and it was said to grow more insightful in sunlight. Psychic is actually a pretty understandable secondary type, albeit it wouldn’t be my favorite…
Oh, really? I wasn’t aware of this. Sorry, I suppose Psychic is a possibility.
you never know what will the final evo type will be, i mean come on, who on earth expected piplup final evo to be water/steel?!
really? O.o
well then that makes psychic more likely!! :DDDDD
now just watch all of the starter evo’s be pure grass, water fire. xD
I would love that. Johto returns!
Personaly I believe (and want) the startels to be like this:
Tsutaaja/Grass, next evo-Grass/Poison (or just grass you decide), final evo-Grass/Poison
Mijumaru/Water, next evo-Water/Fighting, final evo-Water/Fighting
And I believe that Pokabu and the rest of its evo’s will be pure Fire
I really want a Grass/Poison type evo for Tsutaaja!
As for that camouflage poke… I’d really like a silkmoth evo for Kurimuru and that box thing…I dont really know.
I believe this info is all fake except for the fighting type evo’s for Mijumaru but I dont know you choose what you want to believe!
tomorow paul will kick ash but in the sinnoh league 🙂
good luck pikachu fighting electrive hahahahah 😛
i kinda want ash to lose. xD
Uh anime nerds?
*Runs to a corner to cry*
pokabu final evo as a pure wild pig which scares his foe would be a perfekt dark typ (equals fire/dark) mijumaru with revange as move learned by level up sure is a water /fighting typ and tsutarja …mhh no idea may grass/ground with the thought that all of these types were unique befor b/w ( houndoom(houndure) ,torterra, Poliwrath )

Paul post the news new pokemon have been revealed and tabunnes real
what do u mean? which new pokemon?how did u know he is real??
Serebii beat you guys to the punch again..
I hope Tsutaaja wont be Grass/Psychic…It would have 7 weaknesses!
Im with you Typhlonruxs, and besides, the secondary type of the Starter has to be a type from the “Physical Catagory”.
Good observation!! I have never noticed that the secondary types are all of physical ones!
final evolves
mijumaru = water/ fighting
pig thingy = fire/ ground or fire/ poison
snake dude = grass/ dragon or grass/ flying
