Turtonator has just been revealed during the Nintendo House Party segment at Gamescom 2016. The new Pokémon is Fire/Dragon-type and has the ability Shell Armor. Turtonator can also use a new move called Shell Trap
Shell Trap is exclusive to Turtonator and allows it to set a trap at the beginning of a turn, and if Turtonator is hit by a physical attack during the turn, Shell Trap will trigger an explosion that will deal huge damage to the opponent.
What do you think of Turtonator? Cool or not?
I was hoping for more, but I’m happy with what we got. It may replace Salandit on my team, but I need to know more.
One thing just occurred to me. Why isn’t there a salmon Pokemon yet?
I asked that myself too tbh o.o”
There shoulda been one way back in Johto being the prey of Ursaring
I have a candidate.

Well they’re obviously to preoccupied creating more turtles?
That makes it 2 pokemon? that have their backs facing their opponent in battle.
And Mega Sceptile
Firs being wobuffet?
nice catch 🙂
Thanks. I’m kind of the self proclaimed local wobuffet enthusiast around here.
Wobbuffet doesnt look backwards
Wobuffe’s body is its tail.
Still looks forward 😛
Its looking up actually
Good so it’s not looking backward
so ithsme is still right
No it’s not looking backwards you jackoback
but it has it backs to the trainer but looking up
To look backward it has to have the front of its body facing the trainer :/
but if its front is in the back. is it really in the front then?
boy no
boy just admit i got you thinking
lol no… just stop. It’s not a backwards looking pokemon. It’s a pokemon behind an airbag
Behind. its looking up. its not looking foward then
I typo’d I had changed the comment to backward. As in “Good so it’s not looking backward”
but these pokemon arent either, they are facing backwards looking towards the battle?
Mawile and Turtonator look backwards. Mawile gives a little cut eye, it’s subtle
Just ask Girafarig where its front is, I’m sure the heads will disagree.
is claydol really looking foward
Mega Mawile
Mega’s dont count, it’s Mawile
Megas do count since they are still Pokemon >:(
Megas are not independent Pokemon. Megan are only TEMPORARY IN-BATTLE FORMS
#MegaLivesMatter
I was honestly gonna say that but I held back XD. you never know whos viewing
If anyone gets offended they should stay off the internet 😛
Who’s the other? Alolan exxegutor? 🙂
Mawile. 🙂
But I guess you already read that.
Isn’t there an Opening Ceremony tomorrow for Worlds? I haven’t heard about it. It’s exciting because it’s being held in San Francisco, 40 minutes from my home!
Ok when im there next summer im gonna find the house 40 minutes away from there
It’s a Mata Mata turtle!
Ohhhhhh I thought it was a snapping turtle because of the beak. Mata Mata makes more sense
Oooh that’s what it is…
ty for info http://2.bp.blogspot.com/–VqbBstBfVk/U-TlPfZ0uZI/AAAAAAAAGk4/sg_OMMsbjGE/s1600/strange+animals+mata+mata+turtle.jpg
That thing could be found by me D:
O.k
You take some Gamera, add a dash of Tokka and mix it all in a volcano and stir it with a kappa and you get Turtonator
and Gwappamon

We don’t speak of any digimon seasons after 4
The next reveal will be GameFreak getting the rights to Stitch and announcing him as a Pokemon
But, we already have Sableye… who needs experiments…
as much as I love the pokemon from Kalos, they were a pretty boring gen considering no crazy evolutions like Escavalier, no split evos, etc. Nothing. Just normal evolutions. The craziest we got were inkay and pancham.
Mega Evolution was a “crazy” evolution 😉
Yeah but no new mechanic should come at the expense of a good assortment of pokemon.
Sliggoo’s evolution was kind of new as well
Yeah I forgot about that one. Not only were there basic evos, there was only 70 pokemon. RYUKIDDING
How about Vivillon formes. Which is chosen by 3DS region.
I agree, that’s cool. But its not really a cool evolution, just a different form. Though the concept is excellent, and well executed design wise.
not gunna lie, you are correct, I live for branch evos and cool evos like that
I didn’t find it boring one bit, for me it was very exciting. I find ALL main Pokemon games exciting, even the gen 4 game where no matter how many times I replay it, I freaking well get lost in the same place every time, because I can’t remember where I’m supposed to go, and I get frustrated. LOL
You mean, HGSS?
The problem is, if you want to build a team out of only gen 6 pokemon, like many do when a game comes out, you have slim pickings. There were very few pokemon of each type.
Cya
once I catch that Pokemon I’m going to call him Gamera!
TBH This is what they should have done instead of showing 10 or so new pokemon within the space of 2-3 weeks.
Id have maybe 1 new pokemon shown every two weeks and a major build up come October time. Maybe show two new pokemon being the pre evo bear and the sandcastle in September in a video and leave the big stuff, for October and the rest let people find out for themselves.
Turtonator is a funny yet badd a££ name, if its the pseudo then i can’t wait to see its pre evos and see more of the artwork. The official design on the site looks horrible as it did with Talonflame
Yeah, I wish they slowed down reveals, it’s be really great if they kept the content revealed smaller, but did it every two weeks or so so we’re constantly hyped.
Its fine but why reveal 3 pokemon at one time. They could have hyped up one pokemon and showed it off a few times in different battle scenes every 3 weeks or so. That way its consistent but its not overkill. If SM has the same dex count as XY then we have got pretty much 4/5s of the entire dex. What fun is it when you know all the new pokemon come November. They need to slow down maybe reveal two pokemon in Sept and perhaps 3 and a new feature in October. That would be a real tease month for reveals and then everyone can find out for themselves in November.
I think when they release the demo, it’s the end of all reveals.
Uhhh no. LOL I personally enjoy all the reviles. It would bore me to death if they did it the way your describing, and it would kill my hype. 🙁
And as for its design I think it looks stupid, and Talonflame was soooooo very much better. 🙂
Why would it kill the hype?? Can’t you wait 3 more months to experience the new pokemon yourself for the first time. We have had a lot of new pokemon and new features. People are getting too greedy. The whole game is out in less than 3 months, why do you want them to reveal all / majority of the pokemon, which we cannot play now anyway so its just images and videos. AND Don’t kid yourself if you say that it will kill the hype, Pokemon fans / players will buy this game regardless, if they reveal the whole dex or they dont reveal anything else
Yeah shut up dude. I rather get a gang of new poke reveals every month. Why the fuck would you want to limit yourself to one reveal every 4 weeks? By the time October comes around I would’ve lost interest in all this completely. The reveals keep me pumped
Its for people like me though I still watch all the reveals, who like to discover some pokemon themselves like you used to have to do in the first three gens.
Harsh. 🙂 But yeah some people like less Pokemon revealed and discover them in-game by themselves.
I bet if there’s any big reveal in October, it’ll be starter evos and the demo.
well whats the point of knowing all / the majority of the pokemon before the games out. People are too greedy these days, can’t you be happy with a few pokemon. The game is out in November when you can play and explore everything by yourself. Its people like you that are the reason Pokemon think they have to reveal everything as the fans will lose interest in a game coming out in less than 3 months and have had a crap load of new features but OH NO they will lose interest if they dont have more pokemon. Don’t kid yourself!
The award for first artwork goes to this arts artist http://orig12.deviantart.net/832f/f/2016/231/0/9/_sketch__turtonator_by_awokenarts-daei5xs.jpg
Honestly I dont like the name but the design is really good. The typing gives it some buffer since it’ll probably be really slow too
Turtle and Detonator it’s kinda obvious
I’m not stupid, I know the origin, I just dont like it. Too many “t” sounds make it kind of choppy to say. Doesn’t flow well.
Turtlnator
That’s a lil better. Kinda similar to feraligatr though haha
I wish the yellow line was its mouth
Oh what is its mouth?
The horsea-like gap
OH gotcha, then what is the yellow line?
mouth outline, like fake lips
Nuh uh, that’s its snout. Its mouth is the yellow line
What’s in my mouth?
Didnt ask that. Never will ask that. XD
SUSHI
I LOVE SUSHI
Turtonator looks like a no mans sky creature! That or Ive just been playing too much NMS
Actually a pretty good comparison.
I just realized
Maybe Turtonator could be a specially defensive Fire Type since there is none
I’ll never forget what that douche said “you should get a water counter” as the dick spammed Steam Eruption yeah what Fire Type resists Water moves that isn’t a legend
But something tells me that as decent this thing looks it will be abysmal unless it has stellar defenses
Were you playing a mono-fire team?
Yes, the nerve of the guy
Pfft. He expects you to use Volcanion as well, I’m guessing. -_-
Not a chance, the thing must’ve been spec’s the damn thing 1hko’d both Ninetales and Char X in sunlight and he has the absolute nerve to say get a water counter
They’re is none!
Hell even Bulbapedia agrees
“Defense
The Fire type has its pros and cons defensively. Ground, Rock, and Water moves are all commonly used offensively. Aside from Fairy, Ice, and the Fire type itself, the Fire type’s resistances are of little use because the other types which it resists are typically not strong offensively. Most Fire-type Pokémon do not survive too long in battle due to their typically below average defensive stats, unless they are legendary Pokemon, or lack speed and/or good attack. Additionally, all but two Fire-type Pokémon are weak to Water-type attacks, both of which are legendary.”
(And it links Reshiram and Volcanion)
Volcanion revolutionizes fire teams in monotype I guess. 🙁
Oh please it’s just another Mythicals who gets ahead because of better stats a viable ability and a move that is basically Scald 2.5
Also interesting note a lot of Volcanion lately have Sludge Wave, weird
It’s a sign, they hate fairies too!
On the up side after so much disappointment today: I preordered Final Fantasy XV!
What was disappointing?
The number of Pokemon revealed, mostly.
Ah, got it, I honestly didn’t expect much
I’d say everything was a disappointment so far, when they said game play I was hoping for more than just watching a stupid battle royal, tournament. we already saw that on another show. 🙁 And I wasn’t very impressed with the new Pokemon that they did reveal. 😛
I guess its better than nothing. I was too hyped.
Ah well that is fair. Though mostly still the pogeymans count!
Ash losing the final and only 1 new mon revealed at Gamescon
Well I guess your mileage may vary on Ash losing…
Though that means an increased chance he will be recycled for the next season…
BOOOOOOO
I honestly didn’t expect but the ash thing was definitely dissapointing
I expected Ash losing.
Everyone thought I was just being mean at the time.
Expected him to lose, but it made zero sense. So much build up and hype they purposely created, only to let us down so hard. They either did it to cover up a major plottwist, or they’re just clueless.
They probably wanted to show people it’s okay to loose or something.
Or it’s a metaphor that no matter how hard you try there will always be that one guy who achieves your dream and you get left on the trash heap.
Oh sure, like we haven’t gotten that lesson for over 20 years
The younglings haven’t.
The anime assumes people stop watching after 16.
Well everyone, I move in to college this monday and will be hitting the ground running with everything I am involved in. I will likely not be on here much, but I just wanted to say today just how much fun I had this summer even though I swore I wouldnt look at many spoilers. Oh well. This is a great community and thanks for all the discussions! Ill be here until monday, but I wanted to say this now! 😀
Well I think I’m gonna drown my boredom in Gamecube and N64 games
Any suggestions
Super Mario Sunshine.
Because cleaning up squid goop never gets old.
Super Mario Sunshine, the sequel to Splatoon.
I was dealing with inky squids before it was cool.
http://i.imgur.com/EnS9Xkm.jpg
I’ve always wanted to eat Glooper Blooper’s squishy head
Looks delicious
Wait, I thought that was the prequel. (Because Mario loses and the world gets covered in gunk…)
Either way, I’m calling it superior 😛
Mario Party 1. Particularly the rowing minigame.
I thought you were gonna say Tug’o’war it is systematically impossible to beat
Especially the mini game island
Well that too, but rowing was more memorable (in a bad way) for me…
Sunshine, and OMG you have a Gamecube. Jealous
Still kicking from the Christmas I gots it
(Spoiler: I do too, and it has the GBA player attachment)
Paycheque ocming Monday, might have a look around if I can find a Gamecube
Ocarina of Time if you haven’t played it.
Animal Crossing if you need to relax.
Banjo Kazooie if you want to have fun.
Goldeneye if you want the best fps in almost forever
But I don’t know what games you have and already played, but there’s so much good stuff.
Dude I have like all the best hang on
Meanwhile at gamefreak:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/341870/
http://store.steampowered.com/app/454410/
So that second game is basically Giga Impact + Rock Wrecker..!
Sorry not sorry…
Refresh Dae
So those things with “Property of Blockbuster”…
I bought them from them dingus
When they closed down, I guess?
Yeah besides those are just Star Wars Episode 1 Racers and Toy Story 2
Nothing fancy
Star Wars Pod racing was good fun on the N64 though.
I’m jealous :(. Especially since I lost nearly half of my NDS collection and my old Gameboy Advance games, it makes me want to build an old games collection again too.
Ah well, I have an almost complete collection of all Nintendo games on Wii U and 3DS and within fifteen years they are retro too.
I know the feeling…
Especially compared to those hyper fanboys who have all the collectibles
Who knows maybe I’ll hit up the thrift Store, buy a copy of Loz Oot and 100% just for the bragging rights of having done so
My cousin had a fairly complete GCN/N64 collection including gold cartridge OoT and I was about to buy him out but his now ex-girlfriend thrashed all his stuff when they had a row.
If Turtonator had a pre evo what would its name be?
TNTurtle? Terramine? Shellonian? Loggercharge? Snapropellant?
Shraptle
Nitrotle (with apologies to Grotle)
I like terramine.
Mine Turtle!!!!!!! From ASDF movies xD
Turd
No you
Turdle
Torkoal.
>.>
Are we back to Gen 4 and adding new evos to existing Pokemon not named Eevee?
Sinnoh confirmed?
Bombshell!
😀
lmao love that
Thank you, thank you, I spent so long brainstorming
I’m nicknaming Turtonator this. Thanks!
Resisting the urge to steal it. . .
Turtolini.
The design actually reminds me of the mosquito enemy from Rayman 1 lol
Shrapnel Shraptnel…. I think this is a standalone poke
I agree. I don’t see it having a prevo
Evolution Tree
The Turtonator
Turtonator 2: Judgement Day
Turtonator 3: Rise of the Turtles
