Fifth Generation Of Pokemon? Options

[Guitar Smasher]

I'm surprised he's survived in spite of natural selection.

[Crystal Talian]

Serebii has new Pokemon. Check out the front page at Serebii.net. It has these listed as confirmed . . . but I'm a little wary. I'm waiting for Bulbagarden to pick it up too.

It's too cute! Finally, a chinchilla Pokemon!

This new informations flowing in, so you guys might know more than me by the next time I'm on!

Edit: Bulbagarden is reporting the information now, too. I believe it.

:ooooooo

That thing. Is so freakin' cute. Ohmahgawd.
I'm guessing it's the Rattata of this generation. ISSOKOOT. <3

Also, that partial of the bird looks pigeon-esque.

[Oscar]

The bird reminds me of Starly, I hope it'll look way different as it evolves.


Anyways, these are looking like awesome Pokemon! And they have a zebra!? An electric zebra? Awesome. He'll be on my team. And that lizard/crocodile looking Pokemon might be a pretty awesome guy, too.

[Katie]

omgthere'smooore. <3

Shimama has just made it to my favorite Pokémon list. That thing is hardcore.
And what's with them and flaming monkeys?
Munna should so have a boy version--this one looks way fruity, but dangerous.

edit: Did I really just change my facebook profile picture to Shimama?

YES.

All of those besides Hihidaruma (the fire ape thingy) and the mouse looks terrible. The Pigeon is ok but I think the normal/flying Pigeon thing has been done.

[Crystal Talian]

Boy, I wasn't kidding when I said you guys would know more than me next time I was on! 0_o Lots of goodies~! Lessee . . .

I love Chiramii. It's adorble. I would be perfectly happy if this was our new Rattata.

Hihidaruma, that fire monkey, is frightening. I don't like him at all.

Simama, the zebra, is awesome. About time they designed a zebra! It's an interesting electric-type.

Meguroko, the crocodile, is okay. It kinda looks like it's wearing goggles or something.

Mamepato, the pidgeon, is bland. It looks like a mix between Starly and Pidgey. I guess it's going to be the new Pidgey/Hoothoot/Taillow/Starly.

Munna looks kind of boring. It's like some kind of china knick-knack. But I don't know . . .

Finally, Gear, I think it's obvious which one this is. It's an interesting concept, but not very creative.

[Katie]

Just realized that Munna looks to me like a girlie piggy bank. Its name also rings irony in that respect (Munna -> Munny -> Money). I also read somewhere that people are hypothesizing that it is the pre-evo of Drowzee, though I don't see much of a floating, pink, flowery thing evolving into anything like a Drowzee.

I'm praying for a BA Shimama evolution. Like a gorgeous electric/flying/dark zebra unicorn thunder Pegasus Pokémon. <3

Some/most/possible all of these don't even look like pokemon..

I mean gen 3 was ugly, but they at least looked like pokemon.


Though I admit... Chirami is cute. I want one.

[Oscar]

I think people always think they don't look like Pokemon until they get used to 'em. It's been true for me.


Anyways, I'm getting the fire/dragon type legendary.

Also, they have a bunch of screenshots! Looks like they have cut scenes and the professor is finally a woman.

[TheSwedishElf]

The only one I like is the chinchilla.

And seriously, Nintendo/Gamefreak, YOU ALREADY MADE A FIRE MONKEY. IN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION.

[Katie]

Hmm.
Y'know, it may just be my wishful thinking, but I'm starting to think that Shimama looks more and more like an okapi to me. Yes, the name Shimama is a direct and obvious play on the Japanese Shimauma meaning zebra, but still.

First, the okapi also has black & white stripes, but it does have a brown torso. However, its ears are somewhat triangular like Shimama's, unlike a zebra whose ears are much more ovular. Plus, a zebra lacks those stocking-esque legs, which the okapi has. Then again, okapis lack a distinctive mane, which Shimama has.

So even though it's technically an electric zebra, Shimama's close enough to an okapi for me. 8D

Its a horsey with stripes. That all that matters.

[Oscar]

I also think they shouldn't have done another fire ape. =/ Fire types seems slim, so they should make sure to make them as unique as possible.

[Crystal Talian]

I've got my fingers crossed for a fire cat, preferably a lynx.

I'm disappointed with the fire-ape. Not only are fire-types horribly under-represented, but now look what they've done. That thing is awful looking. It looks demented, like they didn't even put an effort into it's design. How depressing.

[Tolby]

I like the Zebra kind of. Maybe. Hard to tell.

Love the cogs, but their noises and eyes look a little too.. Still like them though.

Like the bird. Just looks kind of plain. I hope it has awesome evolutions. Otherwise it looks just like a pidgey.

Other three look too goofy. But kind of like the way the pink thing looks as a sprite in that screen.

[Katie]

But kind of like the way the pink thing looks as a sprite in that screen.

How it looks like a levitating, pink tick/Metroid about to eat your brains?
I could have nightmares about that thing.

Enh, I don't think the fire ape's all too awful. Another species of fire Pokémon would've been neat, but ah well. There's a huge chance we may get some even cooler fire dudes later on.

PS. My okapi theory is being taken rather well over at serebii. :B

[Oscar]

I think the ape looks pretty cool, but it should have been a cat like you said, Crystal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Just anything else!

[Crystal Talian]

I think it looks like some seriously messed up sasquatch. >_>

Well, I had to have an extreme negative reaction to something. I hate it. Hate it~!

[Oscar]

I've got mixed feelings about the bird. It seems too familiar. They need to spice up these starter birds. They could've have made it some toucan looking thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
