If this thing can us it's wings to grasp an onion and cut a tree in half with it than Miji3 can use it's flippers to grasp a horn to cut things with.

Why are you trying to apply physics to magical monsters?
Why would fiction make it so more believable. I'd love to see how disgusting Mijumaru's final evolution's body would bend and twist so that it somehow can be on par with someone like Sceptile with Shell blade vs Leaf Blade.


Farfetch'd can't exist because wings can't be used to grasp things. Go try to train a duck to fight a master swordsman with an onion and you'll see him fail!

That is not even remotely the same thing. Nor is it remotely my point at all.

First off we've seen Farfetch'd hold a leek in its wings and we know how it works (didn't notice how it's wing feathers look like fingers).

Secondly Mijumaru and Mijumaru's direct evolution are bipedal, and true while neither have fingers (at least not Mijumaru I kind of forgot about it's direct evolution), I can see how Mijumaru and its direct evolution can use shell blade easily.

Mijumaru's final evolution on the other hand, is quadruped and flat, and cannot make even remotely the same body motions (no matter how fake Pokemon is, or how we shouldn't apply physics to Pokemon). It still doens't work. The only thing I would believe in response to sword helmet, is blocking an incoming attack like Leaf Blade. But something like attacking someone directly with its body shape and it's limited body motions, no. If anything the only remote thing I can see is blocking an incoming attack and then following it up with a close counter attack. If that's all it can do with shell blade then fine, but don't sit there (this counts for everyone) and assume that Mijumaru's final evolution can use shell blade in the same fighting style (or close to it) as something like Sceptile with leaf blade.

Edit: And to add to the "Farfetch'd" argument, sure it can hold it but can it use it like a sword. Seriously all I'm imagining is something slow barely able lift up it's front "flipper" and just barely able to deflect incoming blade attacks. And even if Mijumaru's final evolution had fingers (like the art seems to imply) it still isn't going to have the same motion in its "flipper" as an arm and a hand. It's too small and it doesn't look flexible at all enough to make those possible motions.

Love how everyone ignored my theory that the shell slides over it's face and the horn jolts to the left/right and he fights like Zoro from One Piece. HEY if Farfetch'd can do crazy stuff like hold an onion stick with it's wings, then I. Can. Dream.

Wow. This thread exploded today.
But still no Ghost types from Melkor/Hiro.
That Water/Ghost rumour sounds promising: Still hoping for that Siren/Banshee

Yeah, I know. I've spend the last 15 minutes catching up.

So what's this whole thing about Miji 2 about?

So, I'm wondering, we've got a specific paragraph about Mijumaru, but is there any known info about Tsutarja and Pokabu beyond the Western/Chinese thing?

I think Kalishnakov's current signature proves that aquatic mammals can grasp objects too :p

Hmm, I agree, I'm having more fun talking about the twitter updates than the Starter Evolutions.

So here's a question...which ones do you guys like (pictures or just descriptions) and which ones do you don't like. It's a little early to judge obviously, but I'm interested in everyone's thoughts so far. I'm kind of lukewarm, but that's mainly because, without pictures, they don't sound exciting in and of themselves going by simple descriptions, even though they may have nice designs. But so far I like the sound of the Fighting Arm Line, the Judo Pokemon, UMadpole (and his apparent Mafioso evolution), the centipede, and the second sheep.

I'm still confused how he seemed to know (unless he just got lucky) that the cat would be randomly leaked in the background of a video no one was really expecting.

That was either good luck or bad luck. Hiro didn't like it because it ruined his idea of showing the fanart first. But he at least could publish the silhouette before the video, so people would start paying us more attention.

You know that Face-Heel Turn isn't just a tvtrope, right? He could very well be tricking us elaborately. You don't know this guy personally, he COULD be doing this for no other reason than his own entertainment. You never know.

Not really having much fun, actually. Lots of people trolling me is not something I like that much.

He's only human - maybe he makes things up because he wants people to go to his site.

Ok, I'll explain on this. Unique visitors have grown a lot, but I would not risk my site's credibility for two weeks of a mere +20% visitors more from summer average.

Especially since most new people coming to my site now are English speaking users. They come, they see some new Pokémon, they go. Average pageviews per user? I'll say 2. Prior average was about 9, Spanish speaking users only. In fact, total pageviews remain at exactly the same amount prior to the leak.

I'm not interested on English visitors because I barely have to offer them anything they can actually understand. The news section of all big sites is not that important, what matters is content. News are like a hook to attract new and recurring visitors, but the real deal lies within content. If your content is good, people will come back without any need for news. And my content is in Spanish.

reading all of this is the most fun i've had in ages.

it's like a mystery drama series and you have to wait until next week's episode to discover who the killer is :D


as weird as i think all this info sounds, i agree with the opinion that this webmaster would probably not commit online suicide by deliberately making things up. it's just too weird. i'm so torn...aah!! want the dex to leak for real! and i wanna see desukan and denchura from the front, this is BALLS.

Oh yeah I know. This thread is where all the action is. :rolleyes:

I still have no idea what's going on. . .

Yeah Melkor, I've seen A LOT of hate directed at you...and not just people who think you're lying, some people are mad since you're leaking possible real information. I find that odd since people are desperate for official sources to leak every little thing, and the fact that really, I kind of like it this way...you know, day by day, and we still have how the actually look to be excited by, not to mention movesets, status, etc. And that's not including all the non-Pokemon stuff!

Melkor, are there any more "ugly" Isshu Pokemon? Lol, seriously, because it seems that with the exception of the cocoon said to be the ugliest I'm guessing that there are more Isshu Pokemon that probably look lame. I hope most of them are as cute or cool as some of the ones we've seen so far.

Well, the "ugly" Pokemon was a centipede, so I think it works in that case. I don't like to think that ugly = bad design, especially when it's in the benefit of the Pokemon's characteristic or basis. A cute centipede isn't something I want, really.

Okay I'm going to say this matter-of-factly and once and for all (since I don't feel like arguing any more, since people don't seem to understand me).

I am not doubting at all the the final evolution of Mijumaru can hold sword helmet with it's fore/front legs at all.

That is not the point of my argument at all.

What is the point of my argument, is that I cannot see Mijumaru's final evolution using sword helmet any sort of feasible battling style that would be superior with Mijumaru and it's direct evolution or even a bipedal Pokemon.

Maybe that's why I'm so adamantly confused. Maybe Mijumaru's final evolution's shell blade does work on a different battling style than Mijumaru and its direct evolution. Fine I'll accept that, but it seems like a waste of a possibly decent final idea to me of using shell blade in the maximum potential. Mijumaru and Mijumaru's direct evolution can in fact bring shell blade out to it's maximum potential. Mijumaru's final evolution is pretty much a step backwards and a step sideways.

hummm.. I would really like for the mods to ban the starters-subject again. Everyone seems to talk himself in a frenzy over them.

so Gear gets two evolutions?

Alrighty. Then wait till you see it in action.

But doesn't it have a big-ass horn too? I'd think that'd make up for the fact it can't use shells.
