Supposed leaked list of the new Pokemon, no pictures.

Highlights include:
Horrendous final forms for the starters, which they do have pictures of.

More legendaries than you can shake a stick at, with two sets of trios. The former of which are half fighting types and the later are based on some Japanese god or something and part flying.

Still no Dark Type gym. At this point I think it's a running gag.

Well because it's a list really isn't much to say although there are some wierd types like Bug/Fire.

Edit: There are three first gym leaders, a fire, water and grass one. Who you fight is determined by your starter, you'll fight the one you're strong against.

Dark Type gyms are the Defense Against the Dark Arts Teachers of Pokemon.

[UHMEEEEBA]

Slight update, you fight the one you're weak against in the first gym. Starters may be fake but the rest of the Pokedex leak was confirmed to be real as they just revealed several of the Pokemon he called.

Fighting Legendary trio are wandering like the trio from Gold and Silver.

Second gym is Normal.

There is a ghost type sarcophagus Pokemon.

Electric/Bug spider. I dub thee Vriska.

Dark type cat.

Bull with an afro.

And other assorted crap.

Can we name the new ghost pokemon Aradia then?!

[UHMEEEEBA]

Sure why not.

Some more info here, Team Plasma's leader is also stupid looking. Also some dude named N who following Game Freaks record is going to secretly be the champion.

Afro Bull actually has an attack named Afro Break.

[Jesuszilla]

Dark type cat.

CHORONEKO! I LIKE THIS ONE!



And did they have to have a Tauros clone?



Oh and there's a deer that's apparently the new Eevee, I think. When it evolves, it changes based on the season, which is kinda cool I guess.

[UHMEEEEBA]

I figured it was probably going to be an evolved form of Tauros but there will be no new evolutions for past Pokemon, if that Pokedex leak is true. So yeah they just threw an afro on Tauros and expected no one to notice.

Some more random information gleaned from articles:

Afro Break exclusive move to the Afro Bull, although Smergle can probably still sketch it. I expect fan art of Smergle with an afro has already been made.

Sarcophagus Pokemon has an ability than overrides other Pokemons abilities if they hit him and replace it with the same type. i.e. he is a zombie. I am ok with this.

Mushroom Pokemon with a Pokeball head, given the game supposedly features only new Pokemon until you beat the Elite Four, he's likely filling Voltorbs old role. Although without the chance of it self destructing in your face.

Mole Pokemon that is Ground/Steel.

Fire starter is Fire/Fighting in evolved forms, again.

Electric/Flying flying squirrel, finally a way to use an Electric type and ignore ground attacks and not be using Zapdos. Yay.

All the others revealed yesterday have fairly vanilla type combinations.

There will finally be a ground gym, although Givoanni's in the original was technically a ground gym.

[Jesuszilla]

Giovanni's gym was indeed ground.



And is it just me, or they seem to be throwing in way too many character-exclusive moves?

[UHMEEEEBA]

No more than they started with back in Gen 2 I think. A quick check with a wiki,

Beedrill: Twinneedle
Meowth: After Pay Day stopped being a TM he's the only thing that can learn it.
Kadabra: Kinesis
Exeggcute: Barrage
Cubone: Boneclub & Bonemerang
Porygon: Conversion, Conversion 2 & Sharpen
Spinarak: Spider Web (10 bucks says Vriska can use it though).
Pichu: Volt Tackle
Octillery: Octazooka
Delibird: Present
Smergle: Sketch (and by extension the rest of the moves in this list)
Hitmontop: Triple Kick
Miltank: Milk Drink
Lugia: Aero Blast
Ho-Oh: Sacred Fire

So yeah there is a precedent for this stuff.

[Jesuszilla]

I find it sick how Miltank drinks its own milk. Imagine if that happened in nature.

[UHMEEEEBA]

Yeah that is pretty fucked up.
