Seems our new trailer is 2:08 mins in length. Not bad :p
It will be the ultimate troll if it doesn’t learn Swords Dance.
Like how Likitung didnt learn Lick in Gen 1
Now I’m just thinking how weird it’ll be petting a sword in pokemon amie….
aww monorpale, how about a hug? *accidentally stabbed while hugging*
It’s ok monorpale…you can’t help it….somebody call an ambulance!!
based on this, I’d love to see James get it in the anime – moving on from Grass types to Ghosts. They’ve already taken the first step giving him Yamask
and leaving him with one pokemon! until amoongus, a grass type!
he can have TWO pokemon that constantly attack him 😀
OH YEAH!!
Well, Monorpale will have its sword case on so u wouldn’t cut yourself XD It removes the sword case during battle!
I shall call it Excalibur
English name may have Excalibur reference or not since French name is based on Vorpal sword. I’ve always wondered why did they use Excadrillbur reference?
Because it’s Excavate + Drill, not Excalibur + Drill.
I know it’s Excavate+Drill(Excadrill) and Drill+Burrow(Drillbur) but when you combine them it becomes Excadrillbur, Excalibur.
Capisce 😉
Needs to be called Possesword in English in my opinion 😀
Give that sword to Golurk.
WOW, very original and creative, I love it! But I don’t know, I might not include it in my team. Need to see its evolution to considerate it even more.
Hmm a Sword Pokemon Cool:D
I actually really like this design, more than I was expecting too. Will definately feature on my mono-ghost team.
I can already hear some fans screaming about this generation sucking just because this Pokemon is a sword.
I am personally not sure what to think…except Steel/Ghost is a combination I wanted! I hope that maybe, this Pokemon can evolve into a possessed body of armor? I can picture the design in my head….
You mean this guy?

That’s not a possessed body of armor. That’s a golem.
A robotic-ghost-golem.
He always made me think of Al Elric from FMA.
so?
Monoraple may be derived from mono + Vorpal sword?
In some Japanese works, Vorpal sword seems to be called Maken. It has a curse force that can penetrate reality.
Or, mono and impale. I guess the R doesn’t have anywhere to come from if it’s those two. We have to remember that’s possibly not its English name though.
Possible? Ah, I think we still need to wait for English name, but I was Asian, so …
It’s most likely Mono+Vorpal+Pale(French word for blade)
Really? I speak french and I didn’t know that one of those meant blade. As far I know, in fench, “épée” means sword, “lame” means blade… But which of those means blade? Vorpal?
Pale means blade, it comes from Latin pala.
swords dance, leaf blade… I liked!
I see it as this Gen’s Unown, Claydol, Spiritomb, Sigilyph. The weird looking pokemon of the gen with an eye plastered somewhere
Yeah, for me it’s a Magnemite/Unown/Bronzor/Klink vibe I’m getting XD
Yes I forgot about Bronzor and Magnemite haha
Gen 1 Eye = Magnemite
Gen 2 Eye = Unown
Gen 3 Eye = Claydol
Gen 4 Eye = Bronzor
Gen 5 Eye = Sigilyph
Gen 6 Eye = Monopale or w/e its name is
I want this, it’s just so cool & i like it has a keychain like thing in battle 😀
The keychain like thing is the sword case! It removes itself from the sword case to fight during battle i think thats cool 😀
Yea i kinda saw that after looking at it, that’s why i think it’s so cool 🙂
If that thing has Levitate, it’s going to be very deadly.
*even deadlier
Awesome!! I wonder will there be a shield Pokémon?? they could be version exclusives.
Ehh..the design is pretty…..sharp 😉
I have a new favorite D:!
this looks like this pokemon would most likely have a pre-evolution then evolve. and the first thing that comes to mind with that a little dagger pokemon
That’d be pretty awesome.
But, I kinda feel like it’ll be a standalone Pokémon. No evos for it, like Spiritomb.
Hopefully, I’m wrong.
I think this pokemon might be similar to Yamask and evolve into a “Haunted Suit of Armor” but then again I wouldn’t be surprised if it is a standalone.
I have a new favorite!
Does this mean I can ride a Pokemon AND hold a sword?!
Your comment made me think of ADVENTURE TIME!
Thank you. Lol
Is it bad that the first thing I thought was “ooh a new Key Item”
To be honest, when I first saw it I thought of Chimecho. Although, I like this more than Chimecho. I hope it learns some great moves.
According to Serebii, this is what Masuda’s message is about.
It says it will be in Masuda’s message.
Same thing. By the looks of things we’re getting a video which is 2:08 long. Whether or not it’ll be about anything else other then this is highly unlikely.
It may end up being exactly what you said but it is not exactly the same thing now. Wording is important sorry.
I’ve been wanting a Steel/Ghost pokemon since Gen II. I am happy that Game Freak delivered that epic type combination on a silver plattr. The design looks very impressive.
Same here
I though Golurk’s typing was pretty unique but I’m looking forward to this. Now all I want is a Poison/Steel type.
If only this http://senoel.deviantart.com/art/107-Mercuree-371470327 could be it.
