If you've been loyally keeping up for the past few days, the Pokedex is slowly being leaked out, and as pre-orders for the Japanese version are finally starting to ship, new info came down in one fell swoop. Evolutions and pre-evolutions of Pokemon we didn't know had one. Completely new beasts, and really unusual design choices. Story elements too.
Spoiler alert.
The Gym Leader list is as follows.
PC Storage has 8 storage boxes. Eight. Enough for the Isshu Pokemon, sure, but factor in the National Dex and what happens then? Then there's something about N being affiliated with Team Plasma. Not sure about that. There's a huge metric ton of new revealed Pokes, and nearly all of them look exciting to have! This is by far, since the Gold/Silver days, the best region yet! I'll try to keep this brief- the list is getting huge and updated even as we speak. For starters, Tsutaaja - Jyanobii - Jyarohda Proves the authenticity of the Ken Sugimori artwork a week ago. Pokabu - Chaobuu - Enbuoo Mijumaru - Futachimaru - Daikenki Evolves to final at Lv36, like Tsutaaja. Pokemon wit new confirmed evos Mamepato - Hatoboo - ??? Yuniran - ??? - Rankurusu What. My adorable little green jelly ball has two pre-evos? Sweet! Unexpected though. Gochimu - ??? - Gochiruzeru Just as unexpected as Rankurusu. Baoppu - Baokki Fire monkey evolution. The other two have their own evos too, but no pics and names yet. Koromori - Kokoromori The heart-nosed Bat Pokemon gets an evo. Kurumiru - ??? - Hahakomori Kurumiru's final is beautifully designed. Looks like a praying mantis. Monmen - Erefuun The cloud sheep! Pretty darn cute. And the best thing is it uses the Sun Stone to evolve Churine - Doredia And here we go. Not half as adorable as its pre-evo, but good design. Me likes. Meguroko - Warubiru - ??? The Ground/Dark type crocodile's evolution line. Desumasu - Desukaan Remember the coffin Pokemon? It has a earlier stage. Kibago - ??? - Ononokusu If you remember those two, that is (the pure Dragon-types). Didn't know they were related. Shimama - Zebraika Electric zebra gets an evo. Cool-looking. Koaruhii - Swana Wow. Swan Pokemon has a pre-evo. Yorterrie - Hahderia - ??? Yorterrie, the puppy dog Pokemon, has two stages of evolution, and the first is shown. New Pokemon Otomaro - Gamagaru - ??? A new Water tadpole-like Pokemon. It's even Water/Fighting like an old friend we know. Reparudasu A new Dark type leopard Pokemon. It's skin color's kinda weird. Fushide - Hoiiga - ??? A line of centipede Pokemon. Bug/Poison type. Zuruggu A dark/Fighting type weirdo. Evolution? Not sure yet. Shinporah Some sort of a...actually I don't know what it is, it looks Native American/Egyptian to me. Whatever, it looks nice. Dokkorar - ??? - ??? The Machop of the generation, also a pure Fighting type. Kaburumo - ??? - ??? Set aside your hopes for a Heracross pre-evo, it's not happening. Banipucchi - ??? - ??? Rage. Pokemon based on objects were always odd, but this crosses the line. Ice-cream? WTF? Ishizumai A new Water type Pokemon, looks like a hermit crab. Yaburuko - ??? The garbage bag Pokemon. As controversial as it may sound, remember, Swalot from Gen 3 was also loosely based on this idea. It's a crapload to absorb. No doubt some of you may want to memorize the list right now, and if that's the case, go on ahead. I'm saving my brain cells for actually playing the game itself. |
