Hello guys,
PokéJungle translator Kriffix here. The internet has been a flurry with speculation on the silhouette shown in the pre-release screens for the Pokémon AR Searcher game that allows you to transfer Pokémon to Black 2 and White 2. Just what is this Pokémon?
At first glance a lot of fans thought it was Ho-oh, and others like myself believed it to be Archeops. However, no matter what pre-existing Pokémon you compare it to there is always a blaring difference that makes coming to a conclusion very difficult. The general consensus now is that it is an Articuno with it’s tail obscuring the head. However there are just two problems with this theory. The lumps on the wings are too round and the legs are too thick and short.
Having had the pleasure of meeting Pokémon game director and co-creator Jun’ichi Masuda during his visit to London, not to mention having spent the last two years subtitling a lot of his announcements, I decided to contact him regarding this mysterious bird-like Pokémon. He’s aware from our previous chat (albeit brief) of us here at PokéJungle and our loyal fans. I’ve not translated the unnecessary bits.
Kriffix:“…Just what is that bird-like Pokémon from the released AR Searcher pics? Is it a secret? ”
Masuda:”Good morning! It’s been a long time since we last met! Oh, how perceptive of you! However I have to say ‘no comment’! (>_<)”
Dang. So basically we weren’t able to gather much from this, other than the fact it is something he cannot comment on. The possible reasons for this are as follows;
1.He does not want to spoil what Pokémon are obtainable in the game
2.Although Gamefreak now have some 3D designers and it may well in fact be them working on the game, he may not want to comment on work that is potentially done by ‘Creatures’ inc.
3.It’s a new Pokémon/form and so he can’t comment on it yet.
What do you guys think?
Just keep in mind that we may well have a new Pokémon/form announcement right round the corner. Last month’s CoroCoro says “新ポケモンスクープ”, which can be interpreted as either “scoop on a new Pokémon” or “a new scoop on Pokémon”. As well as “新ポケモンの発表” which can also be interpreted as either “announcement on new Pokémon” or “new announcement regarding Pokémon”. However, the average person reading and not thinking too deeply would assume the former, it would be pretty sneaky for CoroCoro to try to trick us like this.

PS. All this speculation of an unknown bird-Pokémon silhouette makes me all nostalgic. Perhaps some of the younger fans may not know what I’m talking about, but the words “Rainbow Bird” still have a special place in my heart. I’m sure some of you know what I’m talking about.
Oh you sillies, we’ve been fooled the whole time! It’s not a Pokemon at all! You see? It’s actually a nose with a feather and snotty nostrils, and two eyes with huge eyelashes. Those folks at GameFreak are such kidders.
Guys, it could also be a new form of Articuno or something. Maybe they felt bad about making him suck all these years, and have decided to give him a more BA form, what’s more, Zapdos and Moltres would likely get the same treatment.
DUUUH! you transfer it to bw 2
what if this a brand new 6th gen pokemon? it may not be in bw2 but instead appearing in the movie?
maybe, it is the pokemon to be revealed in next corocoro. bill to big to be articuno. to round for pelliper, ho oh, or archeops. complete dragon/bird maybe?
To be honest I think that they are going to make ho oh and lugialga into a trio and have any of u guys heard of a game could frigo returns? ( a bootlegged pkmn emerald game) well there are runoff that that was a guy who got info of a new pkmn nintendo where thinking of using in a 5 th gen game and he made a bootlegged game of emerald in the 1990s. He got arrested but he had already made a couple of copies of the game and sold them off I have a copy of this game and frigos form looks excactly like the sillohete ( albeit a few diffs) this is only a theory though so look it up if u want
There are more problems with Articuno than the lumps on the wings and the thickness of the legs – though those are problems. There are also those two straight parallel points above its head (the tail can only cover ONE of them) and the patches on the side of its head have two points each – Articuno would only have one.
Perhaps this Pokemon is an event only Pokemon designed specifically for Black2 and White2… And, the only way to obtain it is through the AR app. this might be the new Pokemon scoop that Corocoro was mentioning for its June issue, and could explain Masuda’s ‘No Comment’…
…and maybe you can only catch it once, after you have obtained all the possible obtainable Pokemon from the AR app… idk
you’re all wrong. it’s a new forme for tornadus.
I could see new pokemon coming. spikichu, skyshaymin, and origingiratina can’t go to dp. black and white kyurem for sure won’t be on BW, so why not have a new pokemon only for BW2? Also, please put spiky pichu’s data on BW2! I love that pokemon!
I guess you didn’t check the date of this news post… :p
