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?
Do u think it’s a hint for new pokemon fossil or just random. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CprFXUjWgAABngT.jpg
Ancientpower.
I know but I am talking about these fossils.
I think its just random, its using acient power so it makes sense for it to have fossils being thrown haha
we have Omanyte one y the others not ?
I dont know, i just think they just used common things found in fossils which is sealife shells, bones and plants
The water animation looks sooo gorgeous in Sun/Moon! I can’t wait to see the night sky in certain areas! This makes me want a Black and White sequel (sequel of BW2) or a remake just to see the Castelia skyline view!
Like you said, one looks like Omanyte, and I think one may be a feather (Archen), but I don’t know enough about fossils to identify what the other two might be.
none of the known one.
Nope. Just ancient power
Interesting! Might be random, but as people have said we seem to have the helix and plume fossils… The others are clearly some kind of seashell, and what seem to be ribs. As fossils, I’d wager these would be a brachiopod, and pretty much anything that has ribs (unless they’re actually claws for a therizinosaur and they’re playing with the fact these were originally taken to be turtle ribs). A therizinosaur would be amazing, but this combination of fossils doesn’t seem to make much sense, so I’m gonna bet these are just random. Still waiting with baited breath for this gen’s fossils!! 😀
I have an hour to get 100 versus points.
What does that mean?
PTCGO
Oh ok.
You basically have 3 weeks to get 2000 points to get all the prizes. each match is generally 10 points unless you fight someone with advantage and win and get 15 points.
I want to talk about the NX for a second. You may have seen that Nintendo has posted <1 minute clips of Zelda: BotW rather frequently over the past week or so. They started doing it on Facebook exclusively (an odd choice), but today's video was on Twitter exclusively. My theory is that this is the beginning of NX marketing. They're attempting to touch bases with all their social media platforms with short clips. I'm not sure what the final result of this will be, but they seem to be building up to an announcement of some sort. The fact that they are coordinating between Facebook and Twitter makes me confident that the NX reveal is involved. Nothing is without meaning 😉
My bet is that NX will get revealed around this fall to next year spring
It’s coming out in March, or at least BoTW is… I think
Is it? I thought that the wii u version was gonna come first then the nx version a few months later
No Idea, it’s either the NX is coming with it or it’s just the Wii U version
they said that BOTW will be releasing alongside the NX in the spring of 2017 at E3
It’s definitely this year and definitely fall. That much is confirmed. What we can’t pinpoint is an exact day, but September is historically probable. I think we’ll know before the end of August.
Oh ok then i havent been up to date with NX rumors lately but the sooner we know what it actually is, the better!
I follow this stuff like a hawk. Everyone here will know as soon as anything concrete goes live. I’m glad I wasn’t this obsessive about technology when Project Cafe was the big Nintendo topic.
If NX is released next year, are we expecting a pokemon game for it too?
Yes, a rumor said to expect Zelda (BotW), a Mario game and a Pokemon game (developed by Game Freak) within six months of the NX’ launch. That would be up until September 2017. Here’s where that rumor comes from:
http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/pok-mon-mario-and-zelda-headline-nx-dream-line-up/0170678
And what was this project cafe? xD
Wii U, and Wii was Revolution
Weird haha i thought it would had been something else as cafe is coffee in spanish wonder what coffee has to do with the wii u
It was it’s codename, like dolphin for gamecube.
Wow nintendo has some really weird ways to choose codenames haha at least pokemon rainbow/niji makes a little sense
I love this stuff. Project Reality was N64, Atlantis was GBA, DS was Nitro, and Wii was Revolution, DSi and DSi were Twilight and Ultra Twilight, the list goes on. I find the whole secretive aspect interesting. The NX is the bane of my existence though. 17 months of torture.
17 months of torture sounds like a book.
I call it “15,000 Hours”.
Project Cafe would have been a better name than the Wii U honestly.
the wii might have gotten better 3rd party support if it was the Revolution.
It was the gimmicky controller that gave it a lack of third party support.
Either way nobody really tried to use it.
Or it’s because a lot of people haven’t bothered to watch the thirty minute to an hour long videos of footage so they’re showing these small clips of footage to get hype from the more “casual” fanbase who haven’t been sitting around speculating for the last two months.
But why now, right before fall, when the game doesn’t release for a long time? The timing is suspicious, in my opinion.
Because there’s been nothing for the past two months…? The game releases in like 7 months.
Pokemon doesn’t come out for 3 months but they’re still revealing stuff, right? This logic makes no sense whatsoever to me.
You might be right but there’s no real way to prove it. We just have to wait till September when the NX is supposedly revealed.
i know it will never happen, but i hope one day pokemon do a miniseries for champions thats consists of their story on how they become champion. Cynthia should definitely be the first champion of course
Why would she be the first if she’s 4th gen -_-
because she is the most important and relevant champion?
How tho?
Cynthia appeared in more episodes of the anime than any other Champion. She has been in every single game except the Gen 6 games. Plus she is always top 3 in everybody top champion if not the first one.
Every single game from gev 4 onward except for gen 6*
And according to the rumor that had oricorio and alola forms she is featured in sun and moon!
Can’t wait to see my waifu in beautiful 3D
Same!
i know im so hyped for that. Maybe alola is where she lives because she said that her house, even the region was a secret!!
Hey you are right! I thought her house was the villa in undela town but that could just be her summer vacation house
In Platinum, if you beat her 10 times in a row, you will be given a grand piano for the player’s villa, and whenever she visits the player, she goes and plays her introduction theme on the piano.
Woah! Thats a neat easter egg! Ha i remember when i had every item in the villa except for the cat statues because i couldnt beat the frontier and the piano because i didnt know you could challenge the league againg…good times
along with all the other champions.
IRIS THEME IN SUMO SOUNDFONT
Awesome!
She has also cameoed in 2 movies, the Arceus and the Zoroark
So… Just Gen 4 and 5… Not impressive
Every Champion was in gen 5. She was in Gen 4/5, Steven was in Gen 3/5/6, Lance in 2/4/5
she IS the coolest.
No no cynthia should be the last champion as she is the most badass and powerful of the bunch, a true test of pokemon mastery ?
TRUE. the best for last
STEVEN MASTER RACE!
Didn’t one of the credible leaks say that all the champions make a cameo in the game? I think that would be awesome because then we would see all of them have full 3d figures!
I don’t like it 🙁
This is the first one that I don’t like in this gen.
i didnt like it at first but then i saw what it was based on and it changed my opinion
I like it for the most part but I can’t see myself ever using it. Unfortunately, I find myself saying that about a lot of Pokemon this generation :/
I wish I could say the same. There are a few I’m not fond of. But I do like this one. Cool typing and I like the shell.
So the long pointy hole on its face is its nose, right?
Nobody nose
yes
http://otlibrary.com/wp-content/gallery/mata-mata/mata-mata-turtle-31.jpg
yeah nose with unopened mouth.
wow nice type
Turtonator Burns into battle! I love this pokemon.
This is cooler, but not the bright colors chosen in the real one :/
Just realized Nintendo shut down Pokemon Uranium… I was looking forward to playing it 🙁
Most torrent sites will have it up, if that’s a place you want to go grab it from.
Nah. I’m not gonna risk it. My laptop’s already been destroyed by Viruses and the battery doesn’t work without being plugged in…
I have the installer
do you want it?
Later
kk
At least Uranium had the balls to introduce cross-gen evolutions which is something that GameFreak are too lazy to do so they give us these half-assed Megas and Alolan Formes.
You must not have played gen 4. Also making new exciting game mechanics and add ons instead of doing something previously done doesn’t sound lazy to me.
I get wanting new evos but that was a bad example
I did play Gen 4 but was very disappointed in Gen 6 for not introducing any new evos except Sylveon and having Megas instead..
I don’t like Primape’s evo. The others are awesome
I wonder if this thing already replaced Torkoal as a defensive fire type/stealth rocker
For those Cynthia fans, read this. It is very well written (most of it) and It explains why I freakin’ despise Cynthia: http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/i-despise-cynthia-long-read-rant-and-spoilers-within.198703402/
I saw someone below say Cynthia was the best, and that TRIGGERED ME! Jk, just read the whole thing before trying to prove to me she is the best.
(Every champion was in Gen 5, she wasn’t special)
Pokemon world tournament doesn’t really count…Cynthia was actually in a vacation home.
Okay, you got me there. But for the people saying she is special for being in multiple games (literally 2) then look at Steven, we was in HGSS… just sayin
Honestly though, I couldn’t really read much of the post on ign. It’s pathetically nitpicky. The writing before gen 5 wasn’t even good anyway, hence why Alder was a really good character. I don’t think any of that is a reason to really dislike her anyway, it just kind of seems the op is upset that a lot of people like her and they were looking for ways to tear her character down. Just one example: sure, she could’ve done a lot of things herself (she is pretty much the most powerful champion presented in the games) but obviously she was trying to challenge and test the player. And again, a lot of that should fall on GF rather than the fictional character. None of them have really ever been well written from the get go. That’s what the manga and stuff is for.
But you have to admit, sometimes she has to just shut up and battle
Well did you read the part about ‘underestimating’ Team Galactic? There are some good points in there. Also leaving Team Galactic, a team which she knew drained an entire lake and tried to rob Professor Rowan isn’t a ‘test’ for the trainer, it is plain stupidity. She is a lazy trainer who had to hack in perfect IV Pokemon to be good. Also if 7 y/o me could destroy her with under leveled Pokemon first try, anyone could.
Honestly the same could be said for Steven or Lance though. Neither of them helped a lick in the final battles. I feel like most people like her for her power anyway. You don’t always have to like a Pokemon character for how they’re written. I’ll have to replay platinum some time and look at her more indepth
thank you for indirectly supporting me <3
Well I guess something simple I really want now is Pikipek’s evolution.
If it stays Normal/Flying I likely won’t use it. Grass/Flying sounds plausible after reading it shoots seeds, but I don’t need 2 Grass/Flying types. But when you think about it.. it’s head shape and color does resemble a flame. I’d be completely comfortable with another Fire/Flying Type. I’d know 5 of My Team Members if this and Alolan Acrcanine work out in my favor.
I wouldn’t mind a Fire/Flying, but another Pokemon weak to Stealth Rocks makes me hope it’s not
Yeah but it didn’t make Talonflame any less op!
Tru! A good ability like gale wings would make this a really good fire/flying
It would be such a copycat with that ability tho. I think they should key in on it a skill link ability. I’ve always thought it was cool.. . Just never very interested in the Pokemon that got it so far
I meant one as good as gale wings
Oh yes
I Love SAO by the way. .. even the ” boring part” ?
Ay! We best friends now xD
It already has Skill Link
Chances of getting a fury pecking attack is extremely high
Steel/Flying is the general consensus of what people want.
Well I’m not saying it’s impossible. . But how did they arrive on that? Setting hopes way out in the field. I could see it being Fire (Design), Grass (Dex Entry), or maybe even Ground because it’s closest to a Woodpecker in my mind with the types left.. but Steel sounds so Random
Or most likely… Normal
Most say that as it spent so much time boring into trees and stone their beaks metamorphosed into a hard steel like substance making it a living weapon
Also not for nothing the break is grey so people might be pegging steel on it
But who knows honestly it’s either going to stay Normal/Flying of Steel/Flying definitely not grass, people are once again taking names and words too seriously
It stores seeds in its beak and zips them not becoming a plant itself
? How is acknowledging the other half of the dex entry.. or taking note of other parts of its design.. like it’s flame like head any less practical than what you’ve just said? It’s not, it’s all a Logical guess..
That aside, I missed that part and yeah.. steel is reasonable and I would like that.. as well
Grass/Flying is what I would want
Me too.. if it weren’t for me taking Rowlet :/
I never use the regional bird, so I’m fine.
really…
TRIGGERED
#TRIGGERED ?
I want steel/flying!
I want a more offensive Steel/Flying. I would be willing to use that along with Rowlet but any other type combo and I’m not really interested.
I would the same!
Togetic
Rowlet
[Alola Fire Type]
Alolan Water Growlithe ?
Pikipek
Pichu
Would be my team if they turn out awesome
My planned team is always changing. I think I would do:
Rowlet
Bewear
Minior/Pikipek (Depending on type)
Alola Sandslash/Ninetails
Alola Raichu/Vikavolt
I Really like new Ninetails and considered Beware at the start. Similar taste ?
I also considered Vikavolt lol and minior
Unless there is a better fighting type revealed I’ll probably just stick with Bewear.
Why fighting. fave type? I’m confused by the throwing on Normal to things a little myself.
Nah, Grass is my favourite. I’m just trying to keep the team balanced.
I recently looked through my last gen teams.. I choose Grass most consistently.. sometimes along with other starters
For the most part I prefer grass types when it comes to starters. The only two regions I pick another starter over the grass is Gen 2 and 3 with Cyndaquil and Torchic.
Good choices ?
Yeah I really want it to be steel/flying as well. But idk how likely this is. Fingers crossed for something unique though!
I’m making a Sushi Fakemon. I can’t decide, so I’ll ask you guys 🙂
What type combo should I use?
Water/Ghost (I don’t like this one)
Water/Grass
Water/Bug
Water/Fighting (Ninja)
Eww… Water? You made it too real for me! ?
It’s because it’s seafood
I know. . . I Love seafood and sushi.. but I just imagined throwing a Real piece of dead sushi on the Battle field and playing with it .. lol ???
It’s not dead. I’m making all of them so only the ghost type is dead. You’ll like it more when i show you.
I leave for work and come back to this…
Water/Fighting.
Wait! I should do all of ’em!
(I could probably add another one. Any type suggestions?)
You could do a water/fire one based on spicy tuna
I did. I’m posting them today.
Awesome!
Go to the newest article, sort by oldest and you can see them.
Those look awesome!
Thanks 😀
Water/Ghost works since sushi includes dead fish.
I had a thought while watching the stream earlier, but then forgot. I now remember. Any one else surprised they actually used Komala in that battle?!?!?!!? Like it goes more or less un-talked about for months and then suddenly it’s right their in front of us . I wasn’t expecting it and was plesently surprised hahaha
Although a lot of people want them to reveal evolutions for some pokemon (i.e. Salandit, Pikipek, Komala) I hope they keep them secret till the game is released but that’s kinda unlikely.
I could see Komala’s evo being kept a secret. It doesn’t strike me as special enough to have it’s evo ruined lol Salandit could go either way. I imagine we’ll get at least one of Pikipek’s evos before the release.
Pokemon stuff I want to be kept silent till release
Pikipek final Evo.
Marshadow
Final starter Evos.
Komala Evo.
At least half the Pokedex
A few trial captains
Things I want to happen
Starter second evos.
Pikipek second Evo.
Cutiefly Evo/Evos.
Special features
Rockruff Evo
Secret of Starters and Rockruff
I finished my sushis but I’ll post them tomorrow morning because there’s not many people here
Why u up so late
Why U up so late?
What 3DS games do you all still want to pick up? I have four more titles left for 2016 and I believe I’m done for the year. The four titles are:
1. Pokemon Sun or Moon (already leaning towards #TeamMoon)
2. Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse
3. Bravely Second: End Layer
4. Luigi Mansion: Dark Moon (I SERIOUSLY NEED THIS GAME!)
Other titles I might get, but I’m still considering:
1. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
2. Dragon Quest VII
dark moon is alright. I personally preferred the “open” world that the first game offered over the mission style game play of dark moon however.
1. Pokemon Moon
2. Yo-Kai watch 2 Bony Spirits
I don’t have much else I want
I still keep reading it as Turtantor
I wonder what next issue will Pokemon sun and moon will give out next?
Rockruffs secret remember
Oh yeah 😀
remind me zuvio from star wars TFA http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/5/5d/Zuvio_Cropped_Head.png/revision/latest?cb=20160101092622
Well the trademark for “Gigareki” turns out to be not related to Pokemon at all. http://store.steampowered.com/app/454410 It’s actually an entirely different video game made by GameFreak, so all “leaks” that mention Gigareki as a Pokemon are false.
Welp, that disproves the Rainbow Greninja theory, even though I didn’t believe at all
Wasn’t sure of it at first, it has grown on me slightly but it still feels like it belongs in a Zelda game…namely the nose part!! Still happy to have got a new reveal though, and look forward to more info!!
Im wondering if the new abilities and moves are over powering some pokemon or intended to weaken others.
Could this Pokemon be our psuedo-legendary?
