Pyukumuku-muku Pyukumuku-muku
Pyukumuku-muku Pyukumuku-muku
Slimy, glossy, stationary
Pyukumuku is the name. Come and play along.

Stick out your palm and you’ll have a Staryu
Two palms together and you’ll have a Cloyster
One thumb up and there you have a Burmy
Hit the two together for a Pinsir
Do a “V” sign for Victini, yeah!
Joining forces will give you a Vikavolt

Pyukumuku-muku Pyukumuku-muku
Pyukumuku-muku Pyukumuku-muku
If found on the beach they get tossed back into the sea
They are Pyukumuku. Come and play along.

Make a fist and you will have a Geodude
Put the two together for a Weezing
Rock and scissors will be a Dwebble
Scissors and paper will make a Mantyke
Two Pyukumuku together can form a Voltorb, yeah!
Greater focus for a Z-Move

Pyukumuku-muku Pyukumuku-muku
Pyukumuku-muku Pyukumuku-muku
Let’s all play along with Pyukumuku
Throw it from inside you, Rock Paper Scissors!

So yeah, there’s that. Enjoy it and share you favourite Pokémon-themed songs in the comments!

    • I guess they wanted Mercer for Super and FighterZ to match that. It happens, it might be Roberts had other projects or something else too.

      • True. Reminds me of how regular Lucina was voiced by Laura Bailey in FE Heroes, but every other variant of her was voiced by Alexis Tipton. Tipton does an amazing job at replicating the voices of characters Laura Bailey has voiced that she couldn’t voice that time for whatever reason. I’ve only heard her as Lucina and Kid Trunks, but she’s really good

  1. Feb 8 starts a new opening for series sun and moon
    Which is also the Ultra Guardians start so we might actually get a glimpse if Ash does indeed catch Poipole

  2. Im gonna take a crack at these leaks:

    Grass starter:
    Grass/ Electric: (per the rumors). The lighting up of its fur to scare away predators is genius. Plus, I’m intrigued that we could potentially get a slow electric type (since despite bears reaching pretty fast speed irl, they aren’t generally known as fast animals).
    Grass/ Dark: what with the cave in its concept art. Though the bear doesn’t seem too evil in its design. Or even scrappy at all (per Pancham).
    Grass/ Psychic: with the whole “creating illusions” idea. As it evolves, it harnesses its psychic powers to create more powerful illusions.

    Fire starter:
    Fire/ Steel: (per the rumors). I liked the earlier suggestion about the chariot fusion. Though a steel saddle, or even like a chrome pipes theme (horsepower anyone?) could be cool.
    Fire/ fairy: If it’s gonna be a pegasus, this could be really a really cool typing for a mythical/ mystical creature.
    Fire/ ground: idk, i know Earthen would hate to have this not go with a bull starter, but a horse kicking up lots of dust around it and with desert mustangs existing irl, this could go a really cool direction (however mudsdale in gen 7 might make this redundant).

    Water starter:
    Water: (per the rumors). I’d be disappointed if this was the only monotype this gen, since it looks like it has so much potential. I have a hard time deciphering what it even is, though I’ve heard coral as its inspiration floating around here. We’ve also had a lot of water monotype starters so let’s keep up the interesting type combos.
    Water/ ghost: it reminds me a lot of Phantump. It’s eyes are creepy yet cute, which is perfect for a beginner ghost.
    Water/ ice: its small enough it kinda reminds me of krill, bacteria, plankton, etc. and a lifeform stuck in the ice would be really cool. Plus how have we not had a water/ice starter yet?

      • Idk dude never say never. The patterns people read into in these games never are 100%. I mean typhlosion is already kinda going against that pattern, but just barely. I mean this goes with anything, not all of the regional birds have three stages, we had two electric mouse pokemon in gen 3, and we had a split evo regional bug in gen 3. We’ve had three fire/ fighting types in a row, we’ve had a starter’s first form with a dual typing (bulbasaur and rowlet). There are no true patterns in pokemon, and some patterns are broken in a later gen.

          • And that changes the fact they broke a pattern… How? The only other Pikaclone with a gimmick is Dedenne promoting Fairy

          • Pachirisu won a tournament, Emolga made Elesa’s gym a living *bad place*, and Togedamaru’s gimmick is that it is the best one.

          • I could agree with Pachrisu, but Emolga is a Flying pikaclone and Togedemaru is a metal pikaclone. Doesn’t mean they’re bad, they are more than just a gimmick, but they are *blank* Pikaclones

          • Those aren’t gimmicks. That’s like saying Primarina being fairy is a gimmick. It’s not. It’s part of its design lol

          • There was no pikaclone pattern in gen 3

            Gen 1 had Pikachu
            Gen 2 made a pre-evolution. That doesn’t count. (And Marill isn’t a Pikaclone you degenerates)
            Gen 3 had Plusle and Minun which was to demonstrate double battles in a marketable way

            The pattern wasn’t a pattern until Pachirisu

          • Got it. I mean the pikaclone pattern being a pattern that has been broken is just evidence suggesting that no pattern is safe.

          • There aren’t even really patterns.

            There are always regional bugs/birds/rodents not because of some pattern but because they are easy early game fodder.

            Fire Starters are never quadruped because GameFreak doesn’t like good fire type designs not because they just arbitrarily decided so.

            So much of this is arbitrary bullshit that just leaves me rolling my eyes

          • Pikaclone is definitely a pattern tho. It’s been played with less than any other (regional birds and rodents have had type and evo stage played about with, we’ve had a region with no obvious single bug and they all vary a lot in power) and it’s a constant we can assume now as much as the fact we have starters.

          • The pikachu one is definitely a pattern though..there’s no way they just happen to make a non-evolving electric type rat every generation. The early bug/rodent/bird is something else entirely. Gen 5 kinda even broke this by having double bugs, double early normal types, and a dark kitten thrown in there.

          • are you seriously saying the regional bug/bird/ rodent isnt a pattern? They could literally have the first few pokemon you find be anything else. ANYTHING. but what were the first few we saw of gen 7? those three…

          • I would love for them to break it. I hate it. It’d force them to get more creative than, “hm, okay, it’s a new gen so I guess we should make another rodent that is similar to Pikachu.”

          • > Zigzag tail
            > Evo with rabbit qualities
            > Prevo introduced the Gen after

            It’s the closest thing we have to Gen 2 Pikaclone and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s meant to invoke the likeness of Pikachu

          • That’s ridiculous. The only reason it’s even associated with Pikachu is the Pikablue Rumors.

            If we fit every Pokémon that had similar design aspects together in groups we would be here all day

          • The Pikablu rumours were strengthened by its resemblance to it tho

            And nothing else across the first two Gens that aren’t directly related mirror each other as well

  3. Just read through the entire thread. These rumors that could potentially be leaks are quite interesting. If they do happen to be leaks (by saying leaks I mean that they are actually real) which starter(s) do you think would fit Ash for in the Gen 8 Anime?

  4. Just watched the new song. I think my all time favorite as of now would have to be the Mimikyu song (I might be a little biased). Also, as of now, I am in the camp of the rumors being true. This would be a good thing for those who want the games to come out sooner rather than later if info like this is already spilling out.

  5. I really feel something genuine about these starters, I know they’re probably 99% likely to be faked but they feel way too much like Game Freak in their design philosophy. I also love all three of them, which means it’s likely too good to be true.

    Reply
  6. The more pokesongs we get the happier as an especies be become.

    Also about those fakes that people are talking about, they’re pretty well drawn and actually look legit and those early legit leaks has happened before but I better be cautious

    The grass one is ugly and is a bear so minus points for that

    The coral is quite interesting as a water starter and the design has a lot of personality, so one of the most interesting.

    The horse is by FAR the best one. Nuff said

    Reply
  7. Is anyone else irritated that this will be the fourth Water starter without a dual types. I feel quite miffed. 7.8/10 too many pure Water types.

    Reply
  8. Question: which one of these starters looks like the big OMG ITS POPULAR starter of this gen?
    If these are real that is

    Reply
  9. Got bored of no more Kurusu so I’ma back!!!!

    Well I guess it’s time for my opinion on those

    The bear is cute, but it’s head seems to be too flat (its body from the side looks like a peanut)

    The horse is a bit odd for me and its name just has a weird vibe to it

    The coral is cute too, but something feels off about it

    So I’d be picking the best just based on this

  10. I actually wouldn’t mind it if GF made an Electric starter, I don’t like Electric starter ideas because it seems like something GF would never do.

    Reply
  11. I’m not sure why people are saying the coral starter isn’t marketable. If it was bright blue people wouldn’t be saying that I think. IT’s just because it’s a grey blue than the more traditional blue shade. I think it’s cute. It’s different looking, but it’s definitely worthy of being a water starter.

  12. I am really hoping these starter *leaks* are real. Love all three of them lol wouldn’t be first time something like this leaked on 4chan either. I won’t forget the starters evos leaking out months in advance in 2016.

    Reply
  13. What sources are these supposed leaks coming from deers…?
    My daddy Sawsbuck always said, “You gotta treat the ocean like a blessing, the rain like a gift, and a leak like a plumber.” I think he was implying it’s ok to guess something good is true, but unless you can find the source, it’s a problem…
