But judging by that head PxP showed of Yinappu's evolution (which looks legit), the monkeys are gonna have crazy hairstyles or something. I can't remember which one, but he also stated that either Hiyappu or Baoppu will have dread locks. <333 And this does seem likely considering Sigimori and his.... "buddies" talked about how they evaluated peoples' hairstyles when it came to designing the Pokemon. Afro Buffalo, anyone? :B

Hahaha, the Afro Buffalo is so cool. By looking at the current Monkeys and their hair styles, it's safe to say they'll indeed have some pretty wicked stuff going on.

As for the starters, I'm honestly not that disappointed in their designs, though they could have been cooler... but it's really just Pokabu's typing that ticked me off. :(

Like if you raise all three to level 30 and have them all in your party, all three of them will evolve into one combined EPIC grass/water/fire monkey. Triple Typing would be cool.
Anybody else agree?

Notice all of their tails.
Baoppu has 1 part.
Yanuppu has 2 parts
Hiyappu has 3 parts.

I also agree the other two should have markings on their heads

I think that the "Three Typings" would be...well, it's just not happening...

I saw this earlier on but never gave my comments on it. Reading the description for the Yanappu evolution, it fits the title; the Elvis forelock, arrogant pose and simply more larger and a little more furrier than Yanappu. I'm thrilled to see the official design though, seeing as that one is just supposed to look similar to the real one.

Notice how the mouth is still open which represents "Speak No Evil". Considering that, Baoppu's and Hiyappu's evolutions may as well have and keep a pose action of "See No Evil and Hear No Evil". This time I question how different the pose will be but I expect it to be similar, since Yanappu has its arms spread out just the way the above evolution for it does too. Then again, this isn't the actual art so all I just said could turn out completely wrong. XD;

Haza September 12th, 2010 9:44 AM

I think it was lame of them to release Yanappu alone at first and then release the other two a month later... lame.

The Doctor September 12th, 2010 9:47 AM

They wanted to give us a taste of one monkey ( ironic, the brocolli one ) before they released the full one

Boarbeque September 12th, 2010 10:06 AM

The fourth monkey in the Wise Monkeys is known as Do No Evil, but I doubt they would make one to fit that.

Something that learns no attack moves but has a very special Array of defensive and healing moves?

Devil Flamingo September 12th, 2010 12:39 PM

Eh, I don't really like monkeys, and these three are no exception, and neither are their evos. And the fact that they're pure-types is just even more off-putting, because it's boring and uninteresting. I love Grass types, but Yanuppu and his evo are just gonna be another useless pure Grass type who's outclassed by pretty much anything that's got a more useful or better or interesting typing (Roserade, Breloom, Torterra, Abomasnow) or else by Sceptile and Tangrowth, the only pure Grass types that matter and could ever become OU (but aren't), seriously (the rest are extras imo).

1. We don't know Yanappu's evolutions type.
2. We don't know their stats.

So I am curious on how you already came to the conclusion that they are bad.

1. Yes we do; it was leaked with that list or what-have-you going around (from pokebeach.com or something), and it lists all their evos as pure types.

2. Stats will make little difference; Tangrowth and Sceptile have as good stats as a Grass type could hope for, and they are still UU, not OU.

And I have made no such conclusion; Tangrowth, Sceptile and Meganium aren't "bad" because they're pure Grass or because they're UU instead of OU. I am simply stating that as far as I'm concerned, Yanappu and his evo are just going to be another pure Grass type with decent/good stats that, while a bit of a novelty as far as pure Grassers go, won't be anything to write home about as far as competitive battling goes. I am perhaps being slightly too cynical about this, but as someone who's pretty much trained every Grass type under the Sun of the Pokemon World, it's hard to be excited about a broccoli-esque monkey with same old boring pure Grass typing. *shrug* Perhaps as far as pure Grass Pokemon go, Yanappu and his evolution will be the cream of the crop, but I wish GF had been more creative than this.

All this pure Grass (Smugleaf line, Yanappu line, Churine line, Monmen line, etc.) running around in Isshu is unnecessary, imo.

The only role I believe they'll play is to simply correspond to the trainer you battle... Which is very brief lol.

solarowl September 12th, 2010 4:32 PM

They aren't that bad! They're kind of cute. ANd for all you know, Yannapu's evolutions could be the strongest pure grass type yet!

Well each of them have their own VS picture as you can see in the scan above. ^^;

Watch these monkeys be extremely hard to find in B&W. D:
I will be very sad if that happens.. ;-;


CZbwoi September 12th, 2010 7:15 PM

I'll LOL if the monkey's are version exclusive.

Blue one in Black.
Red one in White.
Green one 2 years later in the 3rd game.:cheeky:

solarowl September 12th, 2010 8:39 PM

Not many pokemon actually have roles really mostly legends. These guys are probably just the gym leaders and then a fe wroutes later catchable.

teh_great_saiyaman_is_now_a_trainer September 12th, 2010 8:41 PM

eevee brothers? you mean like evolving by stones? Maybe since there is a stone for every one of those. FOr some reason, I want them to have three evolutions and their second requires their type stone to evolve into the last evolution.

Hopefully they aren't as difficult to find like Aipom in the Honey Trees. D; Even though it'll be a bit of a challenge, some people actually like challenges, even if it as small as catching an uncommon pokémon.

It seems likely that they would be uncommon or rare since as you said, there is three of them. However we could be wrong and they would be common for a change.

Keep in mind that the picture shown isn't the official artwork although similar. You might have a change of opinion when you see the official design. ;)

We actually do know their types in their evolved forms. According to Pokexperto all of the monkeys evolve once and are still pure typed.

Yeah I can see them in those areas too, though maybe the water one in a pond with it playing around :)

Clefairies September 13th, 2010 8:06 AM

Well, I actually really like the idea of a 'trio' of Monkeys.
I think my favourite so far is Grass type! Broccoli omnomnom. :D

Aloetakura September 16th, 2010 12:04 AM

I like Pokémon like the legendary birds/dogs/eeveelutions and now the monkey trio who are similar but with different typing. I think it's because I like symmetry ^^ It's a bit weird to have just one of them on a team though. I never wanted to use Minun/Plusle for example, since one felt weird without the other. Maybe that's just me ^^

Sammuthegreat September 16th, 2010 2:18 AM

Water monkey's evolution has been confirmed on Serebii. And I really don't like it... Still, the water monkey was my least favourite of the three so I'm not too put out. If they mess up the fire monkey's evolution...

The water monkey was the best for me. Now it's extremely ugly. ;_; Noooo! T_T

King Gumball September 16th, 2010 2:51 AM

It looks like some native girl...

It is okay I guess but I was hoping for something better.

Surmonter September 16th, 2010 2:55 AM

I don't think the water monkey's evolution is that bad. o.o

Let's just hope the fire evolution is better (since we already know-ish the grass one)

Zelda September 16th, 2010 3:08 AM

Hiyappu sure does look like a female. Kind of reminds me of an amazon/jungle girl; the position of its pose and the look itself gives me that feeling. I expected something entirely different although I'm not sure what. Hiyappu was my favorite out of the three, but now I'll wait to see how the other two come out first to decide on that. This was a quite unexpected design and caught me way off guard. o_o;;

Aloetakura September 16th, 2010 3:16 AM

Oh noes, the water monkey evo is.... horrible. It looks kinda like Jynx :s

Hiyappu_Storm September 16th, 2010 3:20 AM

No! I checked out Hiyappu's evolution and it looks like a girl! Hopefully it evolves again into a better pokemon, and the only reason I prefer this one is because Yanappu is grass type, and I never found them as useful as fire or water types and Boappu looks like Chimchar, who I didn't like.

According to every bit of info that has been leaked that I'm aware of, the monkeys only evolve once each. That's the final form for Hiyappu by all accounts...

Yeah I think it's ok too. Not as good as the basic form in my view, but it's not bad. If the Grass monkey evolution turns out as predicted it'll probably be my favourite of the three, even if I don't find Grass-types very useful in general.

The Red Chain September 16th, 2010 9:46 AM

Well now my favorite evolution out of the monkeys is Yanappu's. Hiyappu's is too feminine for my tastes, and Baoppu's has a funny looking sprite.. dunno what it is, but I'm not digging it. XD

Just in case some of you haven't seen Yanappu or Hiyappu's evolutions, here they are :


Courtesy of Serebii.com

Yanappu's evolution is so awesome! <3 I wonder if perhaps Hiyappu's evolution has gender differences.. but there is no screenshot about Serebii's being female [or whoever the image belongs to].. so I'm not sure.


Zelda September 16th, 2010 4:45 PM

Yanakki, Yanappu's evolution is looking a lot better than the other two in my opinion. Baokkii and Hiyakki look as if they were done in just a couple days or wasn't looked after much. Hiyakki looks really feminine; I would've expected a more fierce with a cute input for all three of them.

I think Nintendo could have put in more time in designing the three as well as a lot of the other pokémon that we've discovered today. Though I'll admit, taking a look at the new pokémon announced out of these three, they have a decent look seeing as some of the new ones look very overdone. ):


The Red Chain September 16th, 2010 5:46 PM

I just saw this, and I have to rant about it.

Why on earth do all three monkeys have exactly the same base stats? Could they really not put any variation on them at all? I know they are a trio, but even the past gen trios all had varying stats, while keeping the same base stat total and overall design. I know they spent 4 years developing these games and we should accept their hard work, but c'mon. 4 years and you couldn't give a little more difference to this poor trio?

They got pretty effed in base stats too hp/defense wise. Guess that marks Yanappu and it's evolution down on the flimsy grass-type list, which was expected to begin with. Pure Grass types just get no love. Pity, I really expected more out of this trio.. ;_;


Pwnyta Jockey September 16th, 2010 5:55 PM

Other than Grass, these monkeys make me want to watch Treehouse. and I hate that TV channel.

At least the water one looks sort of like a hippy...

Astinus September 16th, 2010 6:39 PM

The water monkey's evolution will take some time to get used to, but I do love the other two. Especially the grass monkey's. Must be the head fur.

But it is weird that they have the same base stats. I would have thought that one at least would be different for each monkey. For shame.

I'm still going to use them on one of my in-game teams.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 16th, 2010 6:44 PM

I was surprised by the final form of the water monkey...it kind of looks Feminine compared to the others.

ltsang September 16th, 2010 6:46 PM

What are the 3 new starters in black and white and who is the professor?

Ho-Oh September 16th, 2010 8:00 PM

This question doesn't really belong here - however, the starters are Pokabu, Mijumaru and Tsutaaja, while the professor is Aragari. Next time, ask in the starter thread? :)

Pochama95 September 16th, 2010 9:30 PM

Yanakki is the best monkey of the trio I knew I'd like Yanappu the best. the fire one looks lazy and the water one got ruined since the evo came out, too bad I liked the water one 2nd but now I just hated both the water and fire monkey.

Cameo September 16th, 2010 9:48 PM

I actually wanted to have the water monkey because it looked so cool with all that blue color but then I saw it's evolution Hiyakki and I almost threw up. I never knew that even among pokémon there were some that take money for having *** and stuff. :'D To me it looks something out of Disney Channel's cartoons gone really badly wrong. Don't get me wrong but the pose and all just looks too girly and way too weird when compared to Baokki and Yanakki. I actually consider taking either Baokki or Yanakki into my final team before facing E4 depenging do I start with Tsutarja or Pokabu.

#Emochu September 17th, 2010 1:41 AM

speak, hear and see no evil?
 
I've really been wondering whats with everyone is having sigs with the elemental chimps saying speak no evil or whatever.

Just a quick question who started this and what is it about?

Lock this thread after an acceptable answer plz.

Merged with the Hiyappu, Boappu and Yanappu thread, since that's what the question is about.

It's believed that the three elemental monkeys are based on this ancient Japanese legend based on their poses and facial expression in official artwork.

That is so cool! I'd like to tie Aipom/Ambipom into this, since Aipom looks very much like the three elemental monkeys... The article said that sometimes there is a fourth monkey, Mizaru, that crosses its arms to reference the principle of 'do no evil'. Since Aipom's distinctive feature is its tail-hand, and hands are primarily for doing things with, it could sort of serve as the "fourth monkey"...

Major plus for BW Pokemon design! :D
