Weird Pokémon so far
 
Yeah, as much as I AM looking forward to the games, some of the Pokémon look pretty weird. The one I think is the weirdest is Gear, the Gear Pokémon. I don't know whether to call it weird, or hilarious, but I'm hoping they'll change the name by the time it's translated. So, what's a weird Pokémon so far for you?

darklugiaisnice July 3rd, 2010 5:23 PM

-_-* i agree so wierd
 
vary odd (or is it wierd, funny or just pian un discibible)

Turnabout July 3rd, 2010 5:46 PM

Yes, Gear is a bit strange... however when I saw it in battle, spinning, it looked kind of cool. I just hate it's weird... face lol

Also, Munna... what's the pink thing on it's face? D:

Pandemonioum July 3rd, 2010 5:48 PM

The green blob thing and gothic girl are way weirder than Munna or Gear :P

Turnabout July 3rd, 2010 5:51 PM

Oh gosh! I forgot about the blob thing and gothic...spring... thing...
I really hope they show us the proper art soon because I have no idea what to make of them xD

The green blob looks like it could be interesting at least.

Charmeleon was Lizard in Japanese. Atricuno was Freezer.

Someone didn't get a look at Koromori... That is the stupidest idea ever surpassing even Mijumaru...

AadmM July 3rd, 2010 6:43 PM

The only Pokémon I still think looks odd is the blue-and-red mountain-thing. Otherwise I'm quite satisfied with what we've been shown so far.

Migueliscool July 3rd, 2010 7:00 PM

All the starters at first bugged me.

The pig is okay now and the grass one is pretty good now.

The water one looks straight out stupid(not familiar with the names yet)

Kardashian July 3rd, 2010 7:38 PM

Enough with the Mijamaru hate! Haha. Well. Koromori is a stupid idea. I like Geer. That gloating green thing, the gothic thing, and the coffin all are weird.

Seriously. Upon seeing the silhouettes, I always thought Tsutaaja would end up being the one everyone loved to hate. Guess I was a bit off on that one.

Mijumaru looks cute, if you ask me. Although I probably won't use him as my initial starter, as I always choose the grass types, he's really giving Tsutaaja some serious competition.

Hydrath July 3rd, 2010 8:26 PM

Koromor, Desuka, Mijumaru, and the gothic girl... and I can't forget Mijumaru again.

All of which are self explanatory

hever July 3rd, 2010 8:43 PM

Who's Desuka?

Also, I thought Munna was kinda weird when I first saw it, but I'm starting to like it now. These are just opinions and you know what they say about those: Everyone has one.

superpika237 July 3rd, 2010 8:45 PM

Huh, didn't know that Charmeleon and Articuno's names were so... blunt.

Myles July 3rd, 2010 9:06 PM

I like Gear and Desukaan. Mijumaru is ugly. Munna is weird, although I'm warming up to it now. I still realise it's weird though; I guess that's the charm. The green floating thing and the black-dressy thing are really weird.

The reason Gear, Lizard, Freezer, etc. are so bluntly/uncreatively named is because they are the English words. They weren't just translated to English. So they still seem foreign to the Japanese.

Artic/cold and uno/spanish word for one
Zap/Electric and dos/spanish word for two
Molt/Hot and Tres/spanish word for three

Articuno (one)
Zapdos (two)
Moltres (three)

The three legendary birds are numbered for you :/

pichuspark July 3rd, 2010 9:10 PM

Desukan, that tower girl, and Munna.

Lol...he meant their japanese names(lizard and freezer)...And if u think that's blunt ,what about moltress(fire),zapdos(thunder),kakuna(cacoon),pidgeotto(pidgeon),haunter(ghost),crabby(crab) ???....This makes even "gear" look creative

idk japanese so i wanst trying to object that statement, i was merely pointing out other thing relating to articunes name and the other birds

Dillon_68 July 3rd, 2010 10:23 PM

I actually have grown to like all of them, but I would say my least favorite and the one that I think looks odd is the rock thing with color's similar to Nosepass.

FlameBlazeFury July 3rd, 2010 10:25 PM

Wierd Pokemon! I have to say The Green Ailen Blob Thingy, The Tomb with shadow hands..and Gear

kasabian_ July 3rd, 2010 11:21 PM

I hate the pink one that looks like a 3D oval shaped piece of soap with flowers :3

However, the one that looks like a gear, the zebra with the lightning bolt on it and the mouse thingy = P W N A G E

Le Creep! July 3rd, 2010 11:23 PM

I think that round pink thing that knows Telekinesis looks weird.

But Zorua and Zoroark look horrifically delicious.

Sammuthegreat July 4th, 2010 2:28 AM

Gothic girl... thing and Green plasma teddy are the weirdest for me. The lumpy one in between those two is also quite odd, but I kinda like it. Looks like he'd be really stupid, but reliable. Definitely looking forward to seeing the proper art for all of them though, the sprites never look right until you see the design properly and can tell for sure what goes where. Until recently I genuinely couldn't make out which bits of Froslass were her arms and which was her torso.

Also to the person who said they thought Tsutaja was the one to dislike from the starters - me too! He's easily my least favourite. Pokabu's my favourite, then Mijumaru, then Tsutaja.

Kon~ July 4th, 2010 3:16 PM

Munna is definitely the wierdo. What is it?! Who knows.

And that wierd goth thing with the bows and the... thing. o.e
What the I don't even.
