LOOK AT HIM. JUST LOOK AT HIM. 😍

He's LITERALLY a Persona in Pokemon form

I'm going to catch him, hug him, cuddle him, love him, Gigamax him and PILLAGE MY ENEMIES. 😈

*shouts at mean daily*

Don't listen to them Impidimp!! I like you!! I'll always be on your side!! You can do it!! Don't give up!! NOT EVER!! 😤

*cheers on Impidimp as the ONLY MEMBER OF HIS FAN CLUB*

PageEmp September 21st, 2019 7:39 PM

Nah, I personally don't mind it as well. I mean, what if it gets a cool evo? What if it's in game stats turn out to be good? Yeah that's what I thought. And it's typing seems interesting too. I'll just wait until the games come out and see for myself.

Aw heck no I love me some Impidimp! As PC’s resident Fairy not only am I contractually obligated to love all Fairy types, but just look at ‘em. The colors! The feisty little attitude! Impidimp is such a departure from the soft, dainty, flowery Fairies we’ve seen in the past. This one looks truly, properly mischievous! The way the European Fae were meant to be in folklore!

Palamon September 21st, 2019 9:32 PM

All the Impidimp hate is annoying. I think Impidimp is an interesting choice and encompasses both the Fairy and Dark type well.

You should come join the Fairy type appreciation club. ;)

You're not the ONLY one that actually LIKES Impidimp! It's cute, and I certainly like it too! It fits right in with the prankster/mischievous Fairy types, like Mr. Mime, Whimsicott, and Klefki.

It does face competition from Alcremie for my team, though, but I could capture both, and decide which one to put in my final team later.

The only Fairy types I really like seem to be Gardevoir & now Impidimp... so... 😅

Impidimp was in the livestream. Is this not good enough for you as a 'reveal' PokeCommunity?

😒

Taemin October 5th, 2019 9:13 AM

I think it's kinda cute... sorta reminds me of Impmon, as far as imp based things go. lol

I'm sure I'll raise one.

PageEmp October 5th, 2019 2:48 PM

I admit some of the things it did in the livestream made me appreciate it a bit more.

Lucifer October 5th, 2019 5:16 PM

I find it quite cute.

I freaking LOVE Impmon!
Ah, it's been so long since I've watched Digimon. Since high school.

Oh me too! He's a fav! So I gotta use an imp Pokemon when one is presented to me....

FeraligatrMaster October 6th, 2019 1:18 AM

Speaking of Impmon, he Digivolves into Beelzemon.
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/0/04/Beelzemon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100226052845

Imagine Impidimp getting an evolution that looks like Beelzemon. Wouldn't that be awesome?

#1TrubbishFan October 7th, 2019 9:49 AM

Because it's nostril (SINGULAR) looks like a mouth.

colours October 7th, 2019 10:10 AM

it was pretty funny in the stream, so there's that. :x i think the livestream made it more likeable in my eyes.

Ronnerino October 9th, 2019 6:55 AM

I'm guessing he might be this gen's Mew with how secretive they are about it

That only makes him EVEN MORE PERFECT.

Plus... with MLP Pokemon Galar Ponyta confirmed as pure Psychic THAT MEANS HE'S THE COUNTER

😍

Pyrax October 9th, 2019 12:37 PM

I like the concept, it's just that its proportions are so weird imo. The designer could've at least made its limbs thicker.

Personally I'm on team pseudo, especially with this much secrecy surrounding it prerelease. Enough with the dragons, it's time for another Tyranitar/Metagross and Impidimp might be the one.

Sabrewulf238 October 9th, 2019 12:43 PM

I heard another theory that Impidimp might be this gens pseudo-legendary, which would be really interesting since I've never really had a pseudo-legendary on my team.

Benermerut October 9th, 2019 1:15 PM

I've recently heard the theory that Impidimp might be the pre-evo for the third legendary, Eternatus.
Which would be kinda cool.

And there was a "leak" a while back that said Impidimp gets a split evo based on gender, with males becoming Sincubus and females becoming Luckubus.
Which also would be v cool, but it's highly unlikely Nintendo would reference sex demons so that's probably fake.

Regardless, Impidimp is my boy and I love him.

The Mega Champion October 10th, 2019 11:29 AM

I don't know what a 'pseudo-legendary' is but as long as I can still catch it and use it I don't care. 😍

Basically there's a Pokemon every generation that gets the designation of "pseudo-legendary", which is iirc not an official term but a widely-used fan one. Generally the criteria for being considered one is being a three-stage evolution line with the final form having a BST of exactly 600. They're typically not common Pokemon either. The idea being that they're legendary-like in their power level and rarity, although not quite on the same level as real Legendary Pokemon, hence the pseudo.

Atm the current pseudo legendaries are Dragonite, Tyranitar, Metagross, Salamence, Garchomp, Hydreigon, Goodra, and Kommo-o.

Neon Pink October 11th, 2019 12:35 PM

i LOVE Impidimp. Not gonna lie. xD

Iceshadow3317 October 11th, 2019 1:42 PM

If he was a legendary, we would know from the stats. I really don't think he is a pseudo or legendary. I just think he is a random pokemon. If he is, fine. But to me, he will be one of the worst looking pokemon.

I am not a fan of humanoid pokemon and I was never a huge fan of Impmon, which he also reminds me off. To me, all he is is a non ghostly version of Sableye which is another pokemon I just don't like. Honestly, they look so much alike, I wouldn't be surprised if they linked them together in the lore, similar to Durant and Heatmor and Seviper and Zangoose. Especially since they are Ghost/Dark and Fairy/Dark.

As for the hate. Yeah it sucks, but people just don't like it. Similar to how Vanilite line was in Unova, which was one of my favorite lines.

That's just more reason for me to get it and use it and REK everyone. 😈
