CoroCoro Scans and Screenshots!!!

Prof. Rowan: "They look dumb!"

Alright! Looks like we’ve finally got those leaked CoroCoro scans! Woo! Below is a picture of the three new starters. They are Tsutaaja (Grass), Pokabu (Fire), and Mijumaru (Water).  They look… interesting. They roughly translate to an ivy snake, a fire pig, and a sea otter. The fire pig looks kinda’ stupid but I dig the otter and snake style the other two are sporting. Should evolve into some rad looking Pokemon. Here is some general info about what the articles detail. Click on the images for a high resolution!

The new region’s name is Isshu and is very far away from the other Pokemon regions. Derr!!! Hopefully SO far away that this game will basically hit the restart button and we can get a fresh take on the Pokemon franchise. There is a city shown in the article that has been dubbed Hiun City. This looks to be the city that appeared in the first ever screenshots release. See my previous post. Zoroark’s ability is called Illusion. It basically turns Zoroark into so much of a pussy that he needs to change into your Pokemon in battle. What a dick.

There are only two new attacks mentioned so far. They are Trickery, “which outputs damage depending on the opposing Pokemon’s stats”, and Claw Sharpen, which “raises your Attack and Accuracy.” There is a bit of information regarding the three shiny Legendary Beasts. If you trade over your 12rh movie shiny Entei, Suicune, or Raikou, you can battle and capture a Level 25 Zoroark. It will take the form of your Pokemon and battle your ass. At some point it will revert back to its normal form and you can try to catch him. Cool!!!  Thanks to Pokebeach for the info!

In my last post I went over some things I’d like to see changed in the Black/White. Now I’d like to go into more detail about the series as a whole and what I honestly think would make the series better.

Hiun City is a breath of fresh air in the series. For the first time, a “city” in Pokemon looks like a goddamn city. Usually they look like small towns or rest stops. This is the real deal. Hopefully this city (due to the ships pictured in the artwork) will act as a hub for players. It would be nice if you could take boat trips to far off islands and other regions, not necessarily Kanto, Hoenn, etc., but some larger places to explore.

The problem with Pokemon games is that you always feel like you’re on a journey, not really an adventure. Cities and places all start to look the same and the wilderness in between is pretty stale now. Hopefully this game will be really expansive. It’s hard to tell now, but I have a feeling this game will really push you to explore the far off wilderness to look for your Pokemon.

HMs need to go. Seriously. Why would ANYONE think teaching your Pokemon these moves would be a good idea? Strength, Fly, and Surf are pretty much the only good HMs. Maybe keep those but just give us some rock climbing gear or some jungle expedition gear to climb mountains and cut through brush. Or what about a fucking flashlight for going through caves?! Flash sucks!

What I really dig is that the protagonists are older now. I already feel like a huge weirdo playing this game centered on a little girl and boy who collect creatures with their balls… Hopefully this will open up some mature scenarios in the sense that a little more may be at stake this time around. I’m not talking about murder, this is Pokemon, but I’d like to see some really ruthless bad guys this time around.

A more expansive game is what it really comes down too. I know the information on these game carts is limited but I’d take a more expansive experience over 100 new Pokemon any day. It’s time to revive this franchise!
