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!! 😀
That picture you just added is a fake. Because at Lv. 50 Pokabu’s evolution would have 150 HP, not 137. Also I believe it has it’s name as Mijumaru. (I got this info from Bulbagarden Forums so I myself am not sure.)
Yeah it says mijumaru
Also in that video, Female Fire Pig terrifies me.
It’s a Fake:
http://bit.ly/cwrb81
this was said 1000 times before you said that 😀 Didn’t you read the other’s comments?
Are replying to my “Wow how did you notice that?”…I knew already that the pic was fake because it said Mijumaru..I just didn’t notice the HP thing.
I also noticed that spanish in the back. I’ve been on that site a couple of sites but that was only because of that pokemon english names incident. I don’t know if I should put a penalty on him for that event and call him uncredible though…well, not yet.
*Are you replying
*A couple of times
Whoops. Mistakes.
PokeJungle, will post the link to a rom when you find one?
we’re not entirely sure if we will or not yet.
i’ll have aconversation about PJ and the rest of the team about it though 😀
I’m still holding out that the starter evos are fake. Even though I don’t think they are terrible, Mijumaru’s final evo, along with the fact that they would seem to be going with another Fire/Fighting line again with Pokabu’s evos (the leotard of the 1st evolution hints to it), point to it being fake.
I wouldn’t mind if these were real, since people seemed to get their hopes up too much on what they would turn out to be, but I would still think that there is evidence, or lack thereof, to point to it being fake for now. We’ll find find out for sure once the games are out 2 weeks from now (and I only intended to spoil the version exclusives. Ah drat).
This is just as heated as when the final roster for Super Smash Bros. Brawl was leaked and everyone got on that :\.
Also, what makes pokexperto.net any more of a reliable source than anywhere else? Hell, I never even heard of it until these evolutions were revealed. How can anyone be sure that their “insider source” didn’t just shit in a bowl, throw jimmies on it, and told them it was chocolate ice cream?
I was supposing the “insider source” was the the webmaster of pokeexperto.
Serebii himself knows that they have insider sources.
There has been a mini-scandal about this about three years ago (Google “Melkor” and “Serebii”)
All I could find out was that Melkor is the webmaster of pokexperto. What exactly did you want me to see?
Melkor is the original source of this fake “Mijumaru” named starter of Pokabu’s final evo. He is also claiming to have Black/White and is using that image as his proof. He is a fraud, and very likely Serebii’s source (PokeBeach is citing him as their source).
The starters are fake.
I thought it had something to do with the English names for the 4th gen being released by Pokexperto, Serebii posting the names, and then taking the credit for them.
At least that’s what I came up with.
@John
The comments page is going all weird and now for some reason I can’t even reply to your comment so I’ll reply to my own comment:
So you’re saying that pokexperto made up the final starters pics, then made a pic as if it was battling a pokemon, convincing webmasters he is true and has exclusive info?
or did he just make up the battle pic, then started convincing webmasters it is true and should start putting it on your websites?
I’m talking about the English names thing Krake mentioned.
＠Rocket Punch
ok, now I get why pokexperto is such a “trustable” source, but seriously, how can he have black and white already? they probably haven’t even been shipped to stores in japan.
The reports of the fake battle pic seem to have been deleted, which is all very well, but it does leave the replies floating rather aimlessly as nonsensical posts…
On PokeJungle we post news and change it as we find out about it. We discuss it with our members and come to conclusions. We have and always will. It separates us from other sites.
I wasn’t complaining about the way the news is posted/reported, or the discussion. I’m just saying, if you’re going to delete the posts reporting something as fake, delete the replies to those reports as well, so that people reading don’t get confused. As it stands at the moment, the bottom of the page has 4 comments which make very little sense out of the context of the posts they were attached to, which have now been deleted.
I love this site 🙂
For that reason and many more 😀
I’d love to know more about this reliable source serebii has that say’s these are the real deal. It seems that there’s such a big panic/commotion over something that has little more than a “trust me” from serebii and other sites. I have yet to actually see any proper confirmation.
Indeed. It’s just a bunch of people who get guesses and estimates correct at a good rate, and they no nothing other than the rest of the world.
“…and know nothing more than the rest of the world”
me and my typo’s today.
Okay, let me clarify some things for everyone.
This all makes sense, considering a picture from the recent trailers that popped up on the japanese nintendo channel a couple of days ago showing Dento and two other guys.
This would be Gamefreak showing a clever way to introduce the new “3 on 3” battles with the player by providing it early so the player understands it before the story progresses far.
Makes sense.
Also, this must mean that triple battles MIGHT play an integral part into the story as well.
Think about it. There’s you, cheren, and belle. All friends/rivals going on your way to become pokemon masters.
I’m sure there will be parts where all three of us will be involved with Plasma or N in triple battles.
I’m really excited by this! A trio of elemental monkeys is pretty awesome news.
I’m sure it was a joke at first inside the Gamefreak offices. lol
I believe in the elemental monkey’s rumor but I don’t believe that they don’t look any different from one another. Seriously, as I said in another post, if they do end up looking the same and Pokabu’s evolution turns out to be fire/fighting, Gamefreak has lost their creativity, which I DON’T want to believe.
Trust me, everyone believes in the elemental monkeys but what everyone can’t believe are the starters as Serebii just said they were real, which I pray they’re not.
Grrr, the suspense is killing me now! How soon after (or before) the game’s release do you think they’ll all be leaked?
serebii said he’s going to get his copy on the 14th(or thats what I heard) but around that time coverage is probably going to start everywhere as well( well, if they’re lucky enough to find a shop that would give them the copy a few days before release)
Personally I think that the starter evolutions are great, and if serebii was convinced, it most likely really was something that proved it to him. I’m fine with the apparent typings; it not like we honestly need anything special. However the constant use of fire/fighting is slightly upsetting, but I digress.
It also appears the original idea I had when I saw Tsutaaja was correct, which is quite interesting.
I have information that this is fake
I have information this is fake
Maybe the three monkeys are evolution of another pokemon. This one could be like eevee: it evolves to different pokemon if you use different methods.
ohhh that image is clearly a fake..not only for the name..but look! Pokabu in its final evo has still 137 hp at lv 50??How is it possible??
I will be soooooo mad if we get another fire/fighting. I think that if the evos are real, pokabus Evo will be fire/dark, smugleafs evo will be grass/psychic and mijumarus will be water/ice Water/steel or water/fighting
!O! q interesante me parece muy original q un gimnacio tenga varios tipos……….lo q no me gusta es q en muchas webs dicen que la imagen de las evoluciones de los iniciales son verdaderas q asko la evo de tsutaaja sigue con el mismo tipo y mijumaru tambien y otra vez el tipico stater tipo fuego/lucha en la ultima evo
guys this has noting to do with this but last night I dreamt that we got a big grizzly bear pokemon that carried a Caveman Club its typing was ground/grass i thought it would be cool to tell you this I actually thought the typing in my dream was unique
Perhaps they cant reveal the starters final forms name, so they named the pokemon mijumaru? they re just teasing us
they can reveal the artwork and sprites but for some reason they can’t tell us what the name of the pokemon is?
the names must be more important then they’re actual sprites and artwork, huh?
I really hope the evo’s are fake. So many great things about the game… so what happened to the starters?
Personally its only particularly the Mijumaru one that bothers me. The other 2 I can deal with, even LIKE in Pokabu’s case.
Remember this is anime artwork though, when the game screenshot is revealed it may not look as terrible.
Hold on a minute. If this is anime artwork, why does this look like Sugimori painted it?
The blocked colouring style characteristic of anime-art. Plus the fact that two of the pictures are from the anime line-up pic that leaked, it’s just that they are at a later stage. (line and colour-work)
I’d like to think I have an eye for these things. Used to be my job after all.
This doesn’t have anything to do with the fake starter evos or the monkeys.
I wanted to introduce you all to an idea that I’ve had since Pokemon Advance Battle.
As most of you already know, television has the ability to communicate with nearby devices equipped to receive its signal, a notable instance that was around some time last year is a Batmobile that would make tire screeching noises whenever the Batman show was on TV.
While Batman made it a gimmick, I would love to see TV-related events. Pokemon of the day, berries, musical accessories, and maybe even plot events that run along with the episodes, for example, Ash & Co meet Aloe for the first time, and you use the C-Gear function and download an event with Aloe. It could be a battle against her or whatever happens in the episode. I believe the technology is there and hopefully it is something they will incorporate eventually. Unfortunately since it is such a huge idea I think it would be something they would have announced by now, so maybe it won’t come until Gen 6. 🙁
unfortunately the technology is not there. well, technically. You can do that, but the DS can’t do that. The creators would have to put it in the games before release, because that’s just how the DS works. thats why we can always hack the game and do the events before they even come out, because they have to put it in the game.
Of course you’re right the content would have to be pre-programmed and so the episodes would all have to be written before the games release, but there is an online feature now with the dream world so maybe the episodes will at least have dream world codes – that would be something to look forward to.
Minor error on my part but worth correcting.
The Hoenn show was called Pokemon Advance Challenge.
Did anybody else notice that if you highlight the space right between the fake picture and the “UPD” paragrpah that a secret message appears? I think Ozymandis wasn’t sure if he should say it or not so he hid it.
very sharp of you!
But yeah I agree with Ozy on this one. The source that some webmasters are basing their belief on is indeed likely to be the same source that went through a lot of effort to make a fake screenshot.
Whether Serebii is basing his beliefs on this is yet to be known, but I have too much respect for him to think that would be the case. I’ll just assume its his Japanese source.
Wow I just noticed that. good job!
There’s a reason why I love this site.
Serebii is being antsy about his source, and it’s very likely the same source PokeBeach has. PokeBeach revealed their source, a Spanish (wtf why would a Spanish speaker get this game before a Japanese person?) webmaster named PokExperto. PokExperto claims to have the game earily and that is his source, and he posted the fake screenshot of the Pokabu Evo (proven fake by the name for Pokabu’s evo being “Mijumaru” and major discrepancies in the stats). He is a fraud and does not have the game. Check the screenshot, you can see his website (in Spanish) on the computer screen in the background.
Serebii’s source for “confirmation” = PokeBeach’s source for “confirmation” = PokExperto who does NOT have the game or legitimate proof =NO CONFIRMATION OR LEGITIMACY.
Never mind the fact that the creator of the fake art posted proof on /vp/ that he created them and showed different shots of the same art to prove it.
Don’t believe the original images were photoshopped?

In addition- they are not Sugimori art, which would indicate they are animation art sheets, much like the beta sheet revealed a while ago. Animation art sheets are used as color indicators and proportion charts so Pokemon appear the same size consistently and when compared to other Pokemon on screen. In theory, if the two evolutions of the starters are meant to be from an animation sheet, they would be in scale with each other and to the left we would see their first stages (Mijumaru, Tsutaja and Pokabu) as additional size references.
They. Are. Fake.
I love you.
I love him too.
You deserve a higher “score”.
Very, very interesting. I like your dedication to the truth.
My source is not Melkor. I’ve had a lot of information for two months and didnt post it. It did not however include the descriptions of the starters, which I only received last night.
Melkor it NOT my source for information
Regardless, it is PokeBeach’s source and there is overwhelming evidence (including the proof that the original pictures were faked, posted on /vp/) that they are fake.
There is certainly far less than a “99.9%” chance they are real.
Oh well if it’s Pokébeach’s source then lets just ignore the fact my contact hasn’t been wrong about anything before…
“Lapras prevo”
“Ledyba prevo”
“Sunflora evo” (DUSKULL?)
As much as I love and enjoy your site, Joe, it hasn’t been flawless– I understand the race to get information first (and being first is what makes Serebii.net a very useful and successful site) but there is still plenty of evidence these evolutions are faked.
So you’re bringing up points from
4 years ago
8 years ago
8 years ago
In order to try and discredit me. Good job. That totally ignores my years of flawlessness
Joe I’m not trying to discredit you, I’m just debating the legitimacy of the starters, which for all intents and purposes the “proof” they are real is the following:
“The starters are real.”
Versus the information I have posted which concludes they are not. You, too, were fooled by a number of fake images from the time of the demo, so, AGAIN, it isn’t as if you haven’t been fooled by fake posts before.

Images may have to be copy/pasted into browser (not direct links) but that shows they are faked.
I got names for the starter evos
Pokabu:
The Pigshow
PigVanVader
Pigkishi
Pigkozuna
PigPanPigalow
PigPenPigalow
DerpDerp fina levo:
LionCorn
Smugleaf final evo:
Gayquaza
Kaa
Dont forget for Pokabu – The Pig Kahuna 😛
I kinda get a Russian vibe from the Pokabu evolutions. How about “Boaris”?
doesn’t anyone feel like the pokabu line looks suspisiously fighting flavored, the second stage looks like makihita’s annoying older brother
not to mention that wrestling leotard he seems to be wearing
I’m guessing that they’ll be Pokemon Sunday live feed today?
Yess’um 😀
