Lots of New Pokemon News (D/P) - VGF

The Doctor · 07-12-2006, 11:40 AM

New Evil Team is Team Galaxy.
Two legendary Japanese names for the D/P boxarts are called. Diaruga (For Diamond) it is the Time-Ruling Pokemon; And Parukia (For Pearl) it is the Space-ruling pokemon.
Those three fuzzy pokemon were....
.Cherimu a Grass type. Flower head.
.Pachirissu Electric type. Squirrel.
.Dorapion posion/dark type. Changable Scorpion.
Tamanta has been changed to a water/flying type. (Meh)
Perappu is now a Normal/flying (Boo

)

That's about it really. Boxart has been shown. Go to http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

omg the squirrel is cute

The Doctor · 07-12-2006, 03:01 PM

^ It's also not Yellow. *points to most other Electric types*

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 07-12-2006, 04:44 PM

Heh, I didn't even realize it was Electric.

Sucks about the fact that the first ever pure Flying type was just a rumor, there are too many Normal/Flying types, even worse, so far it looks like a no evolution mon, which would of made its pure Flying type the real only reason to use it. Since its a parrot, it will most likely have Screech and probably evern Mirror Move, as for parrots that copy whatever is spoken to them.

The Poison/Dark type looks awsome, assuming it isn't a non-evolver too, an interesting type mix that is basically only weak to Ground, as its Poison type gets rid of the pure weakness to Fighting, and its Dark type removes the possibility of a psychic attack impossible. When I saw it I had originally thought it was a Bug/Dark type, but a Dark/Poison type is much more beneficial. Assuming it's moveset is halfway decent, such as having Crunch, Sludge Bomb, Sludge, or some new, 100+ power Dark Type attack, to which there is still a need for if I am not mistaken, it could be a very sought after beast.

The squirrel is cute, assuming it is at least a 2 stage evolution. There were too many non evolvers in the last game (Plusie and Minun for instance)

The Dark/Poison type should have the move Poison Tail. Poison Pokemon never get good moves. Why don't Ekans/Arbok learn Poison Fang naturally? They're ****ing snakes.

Poison Tail and Poison Fang kind of suck, though, give Poison Fang can cause a Toxic effect, it might be less trouble and a lot more accurate just to use Toxic. Sludge Bomb is a pretty good poison move, 80 power and all, sort of like the poison equivilant of Shadow Ball.

I doubt many people would keep either Poison Tail or Poison Fang to their final moveset, after all, they only have 50 power which is really weak for high levels.

Is Pachirissu gonna be diamond and pearl's version of pikachu or something.

The Doctor · 07-17-2006, 03:12 PM

^ No! Pachirissu is a squirrel. It looks nothing like a pika-clone IMO.

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 07-17-2006, 04:14 PM
