This firemonkey is actually a lot better looking than Chimchar, so I'm completely alright with that. The deer evolution is actually pretty sweet as well; as is the new buffolo pokemon. The coffin Pokemon looks really cool and I can only hope that means we're getting a pyramid in this one. Cats are kinda nifty, and the fish are... ok.

The rest I mostly felt indifferent about, which is a good sign. All execpt that damn stupid pink pig clefairy thing. Damn they just don't make cute things like they used to :/

Honestly, the bigger news to me was that

Spoiler

there's going to a PURE FLYING TYPE POKEMON.

I mean sure, it's legendary, but holy oats it's finally happened. This entire list is actually pretty nifty. Ice Dragon? oats yeah.

I love 99% of the new pokemons. The Coffiin Pokemon looks creepy as hell. Reminds me when i was little and used to have nightmares about gengars and stuff.

The most ugliest Pokemon i have ever seen has got to be the fire starter evolution. Jesus what an ugly Pokemon. I REALLY hope the starter scans are fake because having a Pokemon like THAT and ANOTHER Fire/Fighting will be pretty unfair for people that choose the fire starters. Lucky for me, I'm picking Tsutaja!

Pokabu's second form is like "meh" for me, but it's final form...I'm not sure what to think. Just the first form is "cute" (aren't all starter's first forms?).

No. The otter one's first form is kind of ugly. Mainly because it never smiles.

Guessing you haven't seen the Best Wishes previews?

NEW INFORMATION HOLY cheese YEAH

Mr. Oumura was Mijumaru, Mr. Tagami was Tsutaaja. You designed the 3 Starter Pokemon.

Sugimori: The 3 Starter Pokemon and the Legendary Pokemon were a lot of trouble.

Tagami: A lot of trouble. I think of Tsutaaja all the time.

Sugimori: Of course, it was determined that the 3 Starters would be Grass, Fire, and Water-type Pokemon. We’ll combine the shared horror of our experiences up until now. The Water-type and dog weren’t cute, the Grass-type and ? looked scary [note: we'll fix this sentence later]. (laughs). This time, a designer who isn’t here presented the Fire-type as a pig, and Mr. Tagami presented the Grass-type Pokemon as a snake. I decided it was an interesting combination.

Tagami: I was reading a picture book and it said, “There are snakes that look like vines.” I said, “That’s it!” (laughs) It was a hint at an idea.

Sugimori: I told him that snakes are discomforting. “When you see the line entering its stomach, it’s creepy."

Tagami: But being discomforting is a snake’s most important trait. I was conscious of that with Tsutaaja as well.

Sugimori: Since it was discomforting, if we took that away, it would become a character without any personality.

You combined the elements of the Grass-type and the snake to create a Pokemon.

Sugimori: Next we needed to give it a personality. It will be boring if all 3 Starters have the same personality, so we pick a direction for the personality, such as Naughty or Gentle. This time, the pig Pokemon was Naughty, and it had a reckless feel. Tsutaaja was aristocratic….for example like “The Rose of Versailles”. (laughs)

Tagami: I created an image like something out of an art museum. Like the Hermitage Museum in Russia. (laughs)

Sugimori: This time, the Water-type was the most troublesome.

Oomura: I said, “How about a sea otter for the Water-type?” But if a sea otter were to evolve, what would it become? That’s where I hit a wall. Eventually I said that if a sea otter was to evolve, it would transform into something completely different. [Note: The third rumored evolution of Mijumaru from a few days ago looks completely different than Mijumaru.]

Sugimori: Since we intended for those 3 starter Pokemon to be with the hero throughout the game, we wanted them to have surprising evolutions. We kept adding more twists so the forms of the third-stage Evolutions would have an impact.

Oomura: Also, this time we wanted the 3 starter Pokemon to be split into Japanese, Western, and Chinese imagery. We said Tsutaaja would represent Western imagery, Pokabu Chinese, and Mijumaru Japanese. We discussed it: "Couldn't a sea otter be a samurai?"

Everyone: Hahaha.

Oomura: I was a little worried, so I went to watch the sea otters at the aquarium. I happened to see the sea lion show, I noticed how strong the sea lions were. I thought, ah, I’ll try combining sea lions and otters together. I came up with the idea of them fighting by using the shells on their stomachs like swords, and Mijumaru and its [next] evolution were completed.

Very interesting read. Makes a lot more sense now.

I was really hoping the fire starter evolution was fake but guess this is the real deal. *sigh*

AH-HAH! N is a hypocrite! Sending his Pokemon out through the Pokeball . I want that Pokabu Plush to put next to my Ho-Oh Figurine XD. Also, if you pause at 11:48, you'll see either plasters/costumes/robots of the starters. If they're costumes, I'd HATE to be in Pokabu's because your back would be hurting after awhile X.X.

Not in game, no, but if you watch the anime trailer it's shown smiling numerous times. Aaaand it's not much better...lol

[Lemon]

Wotter is pretty damn adorable when animated. Aww look at that. He's using his seashell as a sword. How cute.

SO CUTE

Is it just me, or do they all look like Arceus edits? Not too impressed.

[Koh]

It's not just you, and they did another non-bipedal trio, huh? When are we gonna get those? Oh wait, Regis.

[Moonbread]

AH-HAH! N is a hypocrite! Sending his Pokemon out through the Pokeball

Umm, not really, it hasn't been revealed what his purpose is other than probably being a rival.

[Koh]

"The mysterious trainer, known only as N, will appear throughout your journey, challenging you to battles. He has a view that Pokémon are friends and should not be used in the manner they are. He wishes to seperate Pokémon and Humans and is looking for the power in order to make his idea occur."
