PokéSun Live Report! (UPD)

by

Hey PokéJunglers!

Kriffix here, Paul was kind enough to allow me to head up the Pokémon Sunday coverage. I’ll be translating live and posting here what I can find as fast as humanly possible. *shall tidy up the post after airing finishes*

  • After today’s anime episode the PokéSun members will be trying out Black and White. Victini will make an appearence.
  • Masuda appears! He promises new info!
  • The game has taken a 4 years to complete. He restates no old pokemon until the end.
  • choose between Kanji and Kana in the beginning. (can switch again later)
  • Minezumi in first possible patch of grass (duh)
  • Theres a real sense of traveling alongside Bell and Cheron (at least in the beginning of the game). They’re walking along side you in some cases.
  • N has wacky circus-like music. Very interesting!
  • first HM you get is “Cut”. You get it from Makomo.
  • Showing off the vehicles and boats as they go by as you walk the bridges. Angles constantly changing. really milking it.
  • Anime news: we see Rocket in their new suits briefly, Ash’s mom is travelling with him to Isshu
  • Masuda says going to show Pokemon not seen ANWHERE! (why do I get the feeling this was recorded before today’s leaks? :p)
  • So far; DeathKahn. Dentula. Ononokusu.
  • Minezumi Dex: It stores food in its cheeks so that it can keep watch for days. It uses its tail to signal its friends. (NL)
  • Choroneko Dex: It steals peoples’ things whilst playing with them. The person stolen from usually forgives Choroneko because of it’s cute actions. (NL&Number&Kriff)
  • (UPD) Mijumaru Dex: It fights with the scallop on its belly. After recieving a blow, it immediately counterattacks with a slash. (Thanks to Number and ok for the heads up!)

    • You mean the first evo is real. Mijumaru is supposed to turn into a samurai, something that they didn’t show. They could’ve gotten the first evo, then made the 2nd.

      • NO NO NO
        Go read the interview again before you use it for your stupid examle.
        He CLEARLY said that it would evolve into a samurai, then go about a drastic change into a mix between a Sea Otter and a Sea Lion. Read the entire interview before picking out parts for your own purposes.
        The final evos are real, get over it.

          Then why would someone fake a CoroCoro scan that show off the pokemon that were in those unconfirmed pictures. My thought on this is that, GameFreak would NEVER give away a starter evo before the games were released. Then either the person who made them, or some guy who loved these, “UNCONFIRMED”, evos decided to make people believe they were real.

          Also, get YOUR facts right:

          Ken Sugimori, primary illustrator: I really struggled the most with the Water-type [starter] this time.
          Yusuke Ohmura, illustrator: There was talk of, “Wouldn’t a sea otter be good for the Water starter?” But it was a really close decision in terms of what this sea otter would become once it evolves. In the end, we decided to have it evolve into something with a completely different appearance.

          Sugimori: Of course, we want to make the starters into Pokémon that remain with the player throughout the game, so we hope to make them evolve into creatures that offer a surprise to the player. We always make an effort to throw in some twists and create third-stage evolutions that have an impact.

          Ohmura: There was also talk this time about dividing the three starters into Japanese, Western, and Chinese styles of design. Tsutarja was based on Western design, and Pokabu was rooted in a Chinese style, so I was told, “Let’s make Mijumaru into a more Japanese-style design.” Someone even asked, “Can’t you make Mijumaru into a samurai?” [laughs]

          Everyone: [laughs]

          Sugimori: I worried about it for a while, and I eventually went to go see the sea otters at the aquarium. I happened to catch the sea lion show while I was there, and I became aware of the sea lion’s power. “Well, let’s try blending a sea otter and a sea lion,” I thought. I came up with the idea of making the shell on Mijumaru’s stomach into a sword (katana) and using it to fight, and that’s how I completed Mijumaru and its evolution.”

          He is CLEARLY talking about working on the third-stage evos of the starters and their inspirations. He didn’t say a word about 2nd-stage evos!

          • well, considering the middle stage IS like a samurai, he must have been talking about it. And considering the third stage IS a drastic change, a mix of a Sea Otter and Sea Lion, he must have been talking about it.
            Just wait a few more days and wallow in your own tears. They are real, get over it.

          • Then where’s his katana shell blade? Also, I’m not going to spoil myself by seeing all the Pokemon from this gen. I’m gonna wait ’til the English version comes out, and then possibly wallow in my tears.

  6. hey, we need a new poll since the starters evos are basically 100% confirmed now. Its stupid that the top voted one is stilll “THEY R FAKE !!!111”

  15. Can someone ask PxP if Kanji or Kana, depending on the player we pick, will also appear in-game. Also what will their role be?

    Finally, a general question: What does Kanji and Kana mean? Wikipedia says manuscripts or writing or something. Oh, one is Japanese from Chinese, the other is the Chinese its from.

    Reply

    • Yeah, Kanji and Kana are different typing of writing in Japan. There’s four different writing form. Kanji I believe is very common and widely know. Kana is almost as popular. I think. Haven’t done Japanese language for a while.

      • hiragana is pretty much modern japanese.
        katakana is the same as katakana but is used to signify a foreign word.
        Kanji is very similar to mandarin. Its a chinese writing style tweaked japanese.
        Romanji is the least used, not really quite sure why they use it.

    • From the context, I think you mean Black and White, the two player characters. So far we’ve had no indication that the opposite one shows up at all.

  19. That new silhouette looks ever so slightly like someone tried to kill Happiny with a spanner… But I suppose an epic Ghost pokemon is out of the question. XD#

  20. hey guys is the coro coro scans that leaked yesterday are full scans? or there is another scans coming up cuz i cant see pages 10,11,12,13,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27?

    Reply

    • Some of those will be the seldom scanned not-quite-as-good-as-pokemon-special Pokemon Manga, but there could yet be other pages with minor details and information. Regardless, we’ll get all relevant information in the official site update on the 15th.

  21. hopefully people see this…

    hey guys it’s ozy! as you can probably tell xD
    anyways, for some reason our admin/editing site is down at the moment so we won;t be able to really update until paul looks at things. i’ve had this problem since the swana pre-evo tweet was posted and no one else has been online besides me, so on behalf of the team, we apologize for not posting all the tweets!

    sorry! ^^;

  25. Does anyone think the face of that ice cream pokemon looks like the face of Slimes from the dragon quest series? I still love him though! Ice Cream Pokemon! There’s a shocker, but a great one indeed. <3
