Hey Pokejunglers!
A while back we got a rumor that our little friend Yanappu would have a water, grass, fire trio and this picture just surfaced on 2ch and pretty much makes it true. (that is if it’s real) As you can see in the picture, you see Yanappu on the left and you see it’s water “twin” called Hiyappu. You can’t see it’s sprite, but the name Baoppu is one of the names above the HP gauge, so we’re assuming that it’s the fire one. We know the picture is extremly blurry and we can’t positvley say that the names are accurate, but we’re just going to have to trust the 2ch poster who posted the images and information for now. Also, if you notice the head is slightly different, so there will be a slightly different look for each of the tripley’s similar to Wormadam. (tripley’s=combination of triplet and monkey ><)
A few posts ago we also mentioned the possibility of Dento being in trio as well and that the red-haired trainer would have a fire type and the blue-haired trainer would have a water type. We allready know that Dento will have Yanappu so there is a very high chance that if this is real, that the other two trainers will own Hiyappu and Baoppu. Looks like Yanappu and Co. will be the triple battle gimic Pokemon, similar as how Minun and Plusle were the double battle gimic Pokemon.
So do you like the Yanappu trio? Which one do you want the most? I personally want them all, but for now I’ll catch a Hiyappu and have a good water type to put in my party. Not to mention that Hiyappu’s cuteness will make up for the possible Mijumaru final evo. ^^;
UPD: Just found this picture on 4ch, I previously said the picture could possibly be real, but upon further inspection the text above the HP gauge says “Mijumaru”, the HP should be 150 for a Pokabu evo at level 50 not 137 and it kinda looks like the other Pokemon’s HP gauge says “Yanappu” above it. So it’s a defininte fake. :/ Allthough because this is fake, it does give the starter evos a higher chance of also being fake as well. Also, PokeExperto in the background..same website that posted the starter evos….a bit fishy :/ (If you found this, congrats! comment saying you found it!!)
UPD2: So, Kriffix and I were discussing the origins of the names for Baoppu and Hiyappu, and we came up with “Hi”=fire so Hiyappu being the fire monkey makes total sense. But, when trying to figure out Baoppu’s origin’s we couldn’t think of anything at all. So looking closer at the picture we noticed that on the bottom line you can clearly see a “Ya”(ヤ) in the second character spot, you can compare the shape of the blurry-ness to the “Ya” in Yanappu, which is the middle name. And with where the tripley’s are situated, if the fire monkey is indeed Hiyappu, then it should be at the top not at the bottom. You can also clearly see the “O”(オ) in Baoppu on the top line, where if it is the water monkey it should be at the botom. There’s also this thing that came into our research about certain trees called the Boabob and the Hyacinth which I won’t get into that much as neither Kriff or I know that much about trees. What’s more is that the possibility of the “Yana” in Yanappu being from “yanagi”, meaning willow, has been brought up in the past. Basically in summary, we believe that the 2ch poster might’ve switched that two names accidently and that the fire monkey might actually be “Baoppu” and the water monkey might actually be “Hiyappu”. 🙂
UPD3: Added a clearer pictures. The names are confirmed.
UPD4: Kriff and I were right. 🙂 The other major sites got the names mixed up. Hiyappu=The blue monkey, and Baoppu=The unseen possible fire/red monkey.
peace and love– ozymandis
P.S. The starter evos keep going back and forth on whether or not they are real. As of right now people have been saying that those evos WILL BE the actual evos and there have been many “trusted” sources saying they are, but there is still the very,very slim chance that they’re fake. When we find out for sure, we will definetly post about it.
P.S.S Less than two weeks until Black and White come out!! 😀
Maybe those 3 are a gimmick like plusle and minun were when double battle was introduced in gen. III 😉
And i think the redhead gets one, the bluehead the other and dento gets yanappu as we know. maybe you fight all 3 “gym leaders” one after another?
yay, 1st comment 😀
I could definitely see them being gimmick pokes with crazy combo attacks or something to show off triple battles. But I hope not, if those starter evolutions end up being real I’ll probably end up boxing my starter and just use the monkeys instead, so I hope they are decent.
If it is real, then don’t you think they’re probably the pokemon used by the supposed trio in Dento’s gym? It does seem to make a lot of sense 😀
Let’s hope the fire one isn’t too much of a chimchar rip-off :/
lol you stole the image from pokebeach… same size and everything. thieves.
Or maybe they’re both from the same source? Someone had posted it on here long before pokebeach stuck it in his news article.
ya i noticed that to. :/
to bad we were all asleep/enjoying real life when they posted it. DX
actually we stole it from 2ch xD
If these -are- actually real, slowkingsley on Serebii pointed out that the water and fire ones are likely the other way around, with Hiyappu coming from Hyacinth and __appu, and Baoppu coming from Baobab and __appu. This makes sense, as Hyacinths are commonly blue, and I believe grow well near water, and Baobab trees are found in the dry scrubland of Africa.
Just to reiterate my post from the previous discussion in the last news article (with spelling corrections… XP).
That does make a little sense, but “hi” is also Japanese for fire. And the names would be in the order they are standing in, right?
Depends whether they are named clockwise or anti-clockwise. And it seems odd that the ‘Bao’ would disrupt the ___appu pattern if not from a particular reference such as that. Otherwise, I would have expected Baoappu, not Baoppu.
But Baoppu is the water one, how could it be based on a tree that grows in dry land in Africa, while the fire monkey is based on a blue flower… it doesn’t make sense
Are we certain Baoppu really -is- the blue one? I can’t read japanese, or recall the order of naming in triple battles, so I can’t say yay or nay either way. I’m just speculating.
However, I just came across a number of pictures of Baobabs growing near water/in watery areas, so the reference could remain, despite it potentially being the Blue water one.
Obviously you’ve never heard of the baobab tree. They are known to store large amounts of water inside their trunk, in order to endure the frequent droughts.

Thanks Burokkoli for that, I should have google baobab myself. So if water monkey’s name comes from baobab, than fire monkey must come from ‘hi’ japanese for fire, cause it would be stupid to come from Hyacinth which is a blue flower
It should be noted that only the Grape Hyacinth is always blue. In addition, there’s nothing to stop the name coming from both Hi for fire and Hyacinth.
I have heard of Baobab trees, but it was the dry climate that struck me initially, and I completely forgot that quality. Thank you for reminding me.
Well, now we have the Blue monkey’s name analysed, we just need to try to find something behind Hiyappu. Hyacinth seemed to fit sound-wise, and could still fit. The origin of the plant Hyacinth’s name was from a Greek mythological figure who was a lover of Apollo, god of the Sun. That, and in cultivated Hyacinths, pink and red are also common colours.
Wait a mintue…’Water’ filled trunks. I skimmed the comments so I didn’t notice that for a sec but I think it could go either way of being either water or fire if the name is derived from this tree.
I take this back!! I should have read more carefully!!!
DELETE!…aww it’s like my life…
I can’t see ash or myself using miju’s final evo :(:(. I had so much faith in miju. the other two are ok the grass seems too plain and the fire I was hoping could b on all fours but I can warm up to it.
Miju look nothing like it other forms it can imagine it moving cause it looks like it can’t bend it’s legs ( maybe it just me)
I KNOW. Its so sad, because miju was awesome and if that evo is real they ruined it. I mean maybe a stand alone pokemon it would be cool but not a good evo for miju.
Sad days :/ I like the evo’s but I dont get why people dislike them… I give it a week and I am gonna get mijumaru
I think everyone who wanted a narwhal got it lol go mijumaru
The only one I don’t like is Mijumaru’s. Mostly because I don’t think it makes any amount of sense. How does a samurai/ninja otter (which the videos of Best Wishes clearly emphasize) that stands on two legs turn into a quadpedal unicorn/fox, Dialga impersonator, with a bushy, white mustache?
Hell, even the color scheme got ruined, which starters NEVER do. Why did Mijumaru’s clearly white snowball head turn light blue in the second evolution, and why did the white turn into a mustache on his third evolution. People, it just doesn’t make sense.
I sound like a complainer, I know, but it’s mostly because I am as I don’t want my beloved Mijumaru to be ruined like that.
well what about Scizor? and Ninetails? and Octillery?
And the anime doesnt imply what type a pokemon is thats what people think and what you wanted to happen
*facepalm* ‘which STARTERS never do’
And from what I’ve seen of Best Wishes, yes, Mijumaru is a ninja
Miju’s final change it shells too which doesn’t make sense since it first to forms had the same shells it won’t be able to throw it shells now either, it looks too much like dialga Really sad now :(:(:(:(:(:(:(
Where the -hell- are people getting Dialga from? They look NOTHING alike aside from being quadrupedal and bluish. @_@
And for anyone wondering how Mijumaru’s final evo uses Shell Blade… OH LOOK! On its forehead is a conveniently placed harpoon-like BLADE made of SHELL.
… erm… it looks like Dialga because it /has/ that giant tumor of a shell on it’s head which is most likely reminding everyone of Dialga’s own tumor shaped head.
(If you can’t tell, I hate Dialga.)
I fell in love with Yanappu but now there are 3 of them!!!!!! OMG YES!!!!!! they better get some awesome evos XD
btw i call epic fail on the starter evos i hate pokabu’s completely (Plus does anyone else think it’ll be another fire/fighting b/c it looks like a sumo wrestler), tsutaaja’s evo could have been 10x awesomer and it will probably join the grass/poison club joy -__-, the best one has to be mijumaru overall b/c its first form is adorable, the 2nd looks pretty cool, and the 3rd looked like a unicorn but now loooks like a badass Sea Lion!!!! but too bad it prbably wont be a water/fighting type =(
now that there are three yanappu…i’m not sure if they will get evos, although in saying that, burmy did…but that was basically the same pokemon. depends on the stats i guess.
agreed about the pokabu evo, they could have done so much more with it. although the colouring is pretty cool (channeling zelda windwaker-style flames?), it’s still another rhyperior 😛 i’m not sure how else tsutarja could have turned out….and mijumaru….just wow. didn’t see that one coming. hoping it’s actually a different pokemon so everyone can still get their water/fighting miju 🙂 but it looks cool (haven’t really had a water starter purely on all fours – swampert doesn’t count)
I’m still hoping that starter evos are fake, but if not I will gladly replace them with Yanappu trio 🙂
Makes sense. Perhaps the second and the third gym leaders (the red-haired boy and the blue-haired boy) have the other monkeys
look at Tsutaja’s evo @@. The sucked pokemon ever
I don’t like it either… I think Miju’s is the best(though it is still quite bad).
I wonder if you will able to fight ash in this game after beating the Elite 4. That would awesome!!
i think that the tsutarja one is real but noooooo way is the mijimaru final evolution or the pokabu final evolution is real i believe the second evolution for both is real tho. i think ive confirmed that tsutarja’s real name is Smugleaf
I really like the name Smugleaf! Such a nice fan name. But, I would kind of laugh if that was the Official name…That would mean that they were lurking the websites for a good name xD
The process to capture the trio would be not so easy… If I could, I capture the fire one. I think about start with Mijumaru now. But I hope very much that the starters evolutions is fake.
me 2 i love tsutarja but i really think theyre fake cuz the starters a final evolutions are always kinda bi example blaziken, empoleon, or Blastoise, charizard.
I’m also startin with mijumaru 🙂 I think that they won’t officially reveal starter evos, so I could be pleasantly surprised when it turns out that these starer evo rumors are fake 😉
I’ve changed my mind about the starter evos. I <3 all of dem!! As for the monkeys… don' we now have 3 fire primates? We may still get that Water/Fighting typing, albeit on another monker.

Ozy, the picture in your update was confirmed fake. In it, Pokabu’s final evo is both named Mijumaru, and has 2 less HP than a LV50 Pokabu, despite being LV58 and its evolved form.
You are so observant about the second point O.O
Lol, someone mentioned it on Serebii, I didn’t find it out myself. XD# I’m just reporting the reasons for its fake-ness.
Lol 😀
Nice point to post up then! Though that proves the pic fake. But, i’m hoping it could somehow prove them all to be an elaborate prank. I wanna’ say I was fooled ahaha. 😀
the text in spanish on the website says fire/fighting for the pokabu evo? noooooo
Because of that fact, I don’t think the evos are real. If he is Fire/Fighting , it means that Gamefreak has little to no creativity left, which I don’t believe.
Oh and not to mention the three monkeys. Ooh… you changed their head shapes just a tad, clever. If the starters and monkeys are real, I’m going to seriously question how they got approved
For some reason I don’t feel the Sugimori in these pokemon at all. But it is just a feeling.. :/
the funny thing is I do feel the sugimori in these I have ever ince I saw them so I’m getting a strong REAL vibe from them, peronallly I don’t see what’s so wrong with them. I think eveyone was setting there expectations too high.
If these are real…how will Shellnarwalseal use Revenge?? Mijumaru learns the move iirc, it was in on of the videos. Quadrupeds can’t really use Fighting moves…
Damn, until now it was so good to be true 🙁
I didn’t like the monkey, possible evolutions and the new pokémon…. idk, but I’m starting to change my mind, cuz I was thinking this could be the best generation so far
Uhhh Pokejungle that last picture with Pokabu’s final evo in battle is a fake. It says “Mijumaru” for the Fire starter’s name.
thank god they got proved fake. I’ll remain excited to see…the real starter evolutions.
Just this picture of pokabu’s final evo while fighting is confirmed fake at the moment. D:
The poor line quality of Mijumaru and Tsutarja’s final stages is enough to prove they’re from a different artist than the first set of lines. The coloring of the first stage evolutions shows that the lines were ripped from a different document. Later on in the comments it’s photoshop tested–and fails (which means the pokemon were photoshopped onto the cardboard display AFTER the picture was taken). While Pokabu’s line is somewhat believable, their style differs from the typical Pokemon style, and their portrayal with the other evos makes them a fake as well.
What’s more, people seem to forget that those two evos are from the /anime/ style practice. Basically they’re getting the studio used to drawing the same-style Pokemon. They wouldn’t be using art like this for promotional material; seeing that art used for so-called display proves it wrong without ever inspecting the evos.
And as for inspecting the evos, part of Miju’s characterization is his removable shell. His evo gets two, and /his/ “evo” gets–wait, what? They’ve molded into the body to become some sort of quadruped unicorn thing? Absolutely unbelievable. How on earth are these images “confirmed” >| .
*PUNCHES THROUGH WALL*
DO NOT WANT!
In the screen’s computer is writen in spanish: “The tsutarja’s evolutions will be grass only. The pokabu’s evolutions will be fire/fighting”.
Thats pokexperto.net in the background 😀
Not only this, Pokeexperto who seems to have made this fake (?) is also the one advising web masters that the evos are real. For those of you who want these final evos to be fake, the odds just increased in your side by just a tiny bit! 😀
Whether Serebii’s reason for confidence in these being real is Pokexperto too is yet to be seen however.
Alternatively someone simply opened the website then faked a picture, simply with the ambition of the blame going onto Pokeexperto; putting doubt onto the confirmation.
This too is possible.
But Pokexperto IS going around showing images of final evos to webmasters, it’d be an unbelievable coincidence for someone to just happen to frame his site in the same way.
Yup, these are probably real, these came from the back of the dummy package.
I’m talking about the 3 monkeys, sorry for not being descriptive
