Karate King's Gift
 
If you've done so already and have obtained your LV. 10 Tyrogue from the Karate King, the former leader of the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City, then what did you decide on evolving it into [Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, or Hitmontop]? Or did you forget/ not care about the dependency on Tyrogue's stats in which determined what it evolved into?

Silhouette July 5th, 2010 5:55 PM

I just got it, and I probably won't care what I do with it. Seeing as how it has a Timid nature, I probably won't even touch it.

Christopher July 5th, 2010 7:02 PM

I am going with Hitmonchan so I can easily breed various punch/Vacuum wave moves onto my other fighting types

Rengoku July 5th, 2010 10:30 PM

I got a Hitmontop in SS, since I don't have the dex informations yet.
I haven't got around to finding him in HG though.

Silver25 July 5th, 2010 11:19 PM

Hitmontop just because it can sometimes be a hassle to evolve. But it doesn't matter to me really because I just plan on breeding it.

Charizard★ July 6th, 2010 6:44 AM

I evolved it into Hitmonlee. :>
It reminds me of a Kung Fu fighter.

NickofTime July 6th, 2010 6:54 AM

Hitmonchan actually, iron fist is such a great ability :)

hit+pokemon+chan=hitmonchan.... i think

thegeneticway July 6th, 2010 7:02 AM

I just left it as it is ^__^

Numbers July 6th, 2010 9:30 AM

I evolved it into Hitmontop as I've never really liked it and I thought that if maybe I used one for a while then it might start growing on me. So far so good, I like it more already! :D

So yeahs.

Hitmontops ftw :P

I haven't gotten mine yet, but Hitmonlee is my favorite of the trio, so I'll probably go with him.

Although I already have a Heracross so I don't really need a fighting type...

Actually, Lee was for Bruce Lee. I read it in my original Pokemon Handbook.

Depends on their Japanese names, though. That could be a possibility.

I'll probably just breed my Tyrogue to get all four end evolve according to nature/ability. :3

Eon-Rider July 6th, 2010 5:45 PM

I generally don't use special Pokemon obtained in game. I have a box in my PC especially for them. I broke the trend with Red Gyarados for some reason though.

batmon July 6th, 2010 5:55 PM

I released it as soon as I got it, I already had a better Tyrouge and evolved that into a Hitmonlee :)

Iceshadow3317 July 6th, 2010 6:05 PM

I breed mine with Ditto and get more to make all 3.

Panfisha July 6th, 2010 6:51 PM

I WANTED hitmontop, but after infinite protein/irons, it became hitmonchan.

Amore July 8th, 2010 8:07 AM

Well.....last time I got it, It turned into Hitmonlee. Not that I didn't like it...(most Gen I designs just,well...I love them all, and I don't know why. Particularly as I'm a Gen III person xD).

This time, I'm hoping for a Hitmontop. If only because it can effectively use Rock Smash. Power 40 becomes Power 80, and possible defense drop? People underestimate that move, seriously...cut too...hence why I often use Scizor running Bullet Punch | Cut | Rock Smash | Bug Bite

FallenSpiritGR July 8th, 2010 10:07 AM

hmm i just got mine but how you can chose what it can evolve into ??
xaxaxa i have to play pokemon for years and i just started over again ^^

HAHA Hitmonchan =/= Jackie chan
just because they have the same last name (chan is not a "rare" chinese name) does not mean one is based of the other

here i'll list some differences
-Hitmonchan wears a tutu
-jackie chan does not
-hitmonchan is quite obviously based off of boxing or kickboxing
-Jackie chan is not quite obviously based off of boxing or kickboxing

^It's a known fact that's who they're named after yo.

Hitmonchan may not equal Jackie Chan, but he certainly is based on him.

Anyways I haven't obtained mine yet since I haven't gotten around to it..

Here the inspiration of hitmonchan is based off of a japanese world champion boxer, Hiroyuki Ebihara (Ebiwalar). While it is speculated that hitmonchan english name is based off of Jackie chan there is no confirmation from Nintendo. (find me some proof)
hitmonchan's names also include French: Tygnon - Ty is for Mike Tyson, and gnon (thump).
So yes while Hitmonchan's NAME is loosly based on famous fighters its design is completely original and doesn't look like Jackie chan in any way.
PM me if you want to respond to this post, Don't clutter the thread

EDIT: Please Don't write JACKIE CHAN PUNCHES, HITMONCHAN PUNCHES, THEY ARE SAME

EJ July 8th, 2010 2:07 PM

I wasn't referring to what he looks like. Because in that case, Primeape isn't based off a primate, he's based off a puffball. See how stupid that sounds?

Hitmonchan's name is what I'm referring to. As for proof, I'll let you do the honors ;)

Iceshadow3317 July 8th, 2010 5:09 PM

Jackie Chan and Himonchan.
Bruce/Jet Lee and Hitmonlee

I think the orginal one I got was Hitmonchan. Can't remember.

I would say Hitmontop is based of Chuck Norris.

Himonorris just don't sound right.

>Feelings< July 9th, 2010 5:28 PM

I evolved mine into Hitmonchan.

I'll get more if I want Hitmonlee and Hitmontop later too.
But for now, Iron Fist + Focus Punch and other punches are really nice.

You didn't mention your choice Hiiro.

For some reason, I think Hitmontop is based on a spinning top. ;)

I don't think I evolved mine. I can't even remember if I even got it. xD I would have either evolved it into Hitmonchan or Hitmonchop. Both are pretty cool. :)
