Meguroko (メグロコ) - The Ground/Dark-Type Desert Crocodile Pokémon

so far my fave of the non-lengends that were just introduced. its typing is awesome. ground/dark is a very potent offensive combo. and that overconfident/earthquake spiral ability will make this thing deadly if it gets a powerful evolution, or if it learns Swords dance. it could be at +6 attack in no time if played right.

Meguroko (and Evo(S) > hippopotas/hippowdon

So far I really love Reshiram, I think it is one of the most amazing looking legendaries in any pokemon game so far. It actually looks Epic unlike a lot of others.

At first I hated Hihidaruma, but now he has kind of grown on me and I really like how he looks, its kind of different. I hope he evolves into something awesome :)

My Third favourite out of the new pokemon so far is Shimama. I guess its because he is cute and I guess kind of a new design being a zebrah and all <3

Tsutaaja would probably have to be one of the coolest yet composed grass type I've seen in a long time.

Meguroko (メグロコ) - The Ground/Dark-Type Desert Crocodile Pokémon

Meguroko (and Evo(S) > hippopotas/hippowdon

i agreee its so awesome XD i want one, i love crocs XD steve irwin ftw!

I am so looking forward to picking Tsutaaja when I first start the game! And then I am hunting down a Chiramii and a Shimama. I don't care if they're going to be stupidly common, I love them. :3

And I agree with Live_Wire - Meguroko > Hippopotas.

 

[Haza]

I totally see Meguroko being OU... Earthquake + Crunch STABd and an ability to raise it's attack... wow. Let's hope they don't overdo this one.

 

[JAK3]

My Signature says alot, but yeah, Meguroko is my favorite. He is going to be a beast. :) I hope it's not version exclusive!

 

[Weatherman Kiyoshi]

I'm not sure whether to get Mijumaru or Tsutaaja for my starter, even though I promised myself that "no matter what that sillouette is going to be [Tsutaaja], I'm getting it."

But rightn after that I'm getting Chiramii. That thing is too adorable for words <3

I just hope they don't pull "Oh he's cute, but he's weak. Screw you."

 

[dragonarche]

Pokabu for my starter <3 its soo cute!

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

I started off saying "THE SNAKE IS A LIE" because it has legs but now...Smugleaf looks pretty cool. ^^ I'll still (probably) pick Porkabu (totally being his nickname) unless its evolution turns out to be crappy and Smugleaf evolves into a Chinese Lung (which it has got to. GOT TO!)

I'll probably be picking up a Mamepato on the first route, because it looks awesome (and negate's my rival's very likely Leer or Tail Whip, :D).

The crocko has an awesome ability, I just hope it evolves because those goggles for eyes are weeeeiiird. I guess I won't see them much from my backsprite, but eh...

All in all, the new Pokémon are awesome! Munna looks a bit weird and 'daruma does too, but that's just me. Awesome stuff.

PS. Haza, please don't change your text colour. On this white background, I can't see Reshiram at all and Shimama looks like Shinarma if I don't strain my eyes. @_@ Please, with that ridiculous myriad of colours, isn't there at least one that you can't see properly?

 

[Euonymus]

Hihidaruma (ヒヒダルマ) - The Fire-Type Flaming Pokémon

Hididaruma the Flaming pokemon? .......lolwut?(and I never say that).

Lolz, I changed my crazy/fancy colors... my background, PC Special Purple, allows all of the colors to show without being harsh but you know me, being selfish and all <3 Hope that's better.

We already have individual threads for all of them (Starters, Reshiram/Zekrom, some Zoruas thread somewhere, and the thread for the newly revealed ones from last week) so I don't think we need another discussion for them.
