I see what you mean about the pre-evos being different colours. But when they actually make a baby version of the pokemon. I believe its the same colours? I don't think they've ever made a baby pokemon that isn't pretty much identical to the adult.

I anticipated someone would say this, and I honestly don't have an answer. Though, why not start? There's no real reason why they shouldn't be different colours. Admittedly this is a drastic colour change, but most baby Pokemon are meant to be cutesy, and frankly I don't think there's any way to make Drowzee come off as "cute", as cool as he is. I could also argue that Chingling, and possibly even Smoochum or Tyrogue, have different colours, but that would possibly be a bit of a desperate argument.

Like an Ape + a Daruma to me...I don't see an Australian influence there.
I didn't think of that, but at first glance..without really paying attention to its name it seemed austrialian influenced (tasmanian devil a little to me).

Like an Ape + a Daruma to me...I don't see an Australian influence there.

I overlooked them and must say they all look better then I thought. Munna is still a lovable little beast. Meguroko, forgot to mention, is not only my favourite, but will DEFINITELY be on my Team.

Chiramii is.. Still okay, but not the greatest, probably won't be on my team, I will have to see it's evolutionary cycle before I say anything, But overall, nice looking Pokemon. Next up, Gear. This guy, is so wonderful, it's facial expressions say alot about it, it has a look that it was built from Steel, and it is Steel, loving it. Mamepeto, just your average starting Bird, but best design I have seen for one yet, and I like him alot. Hihidaruma, what can I say? Tank, that is all. Then, finally, Shimama. Beautiful design, great typing, and probably has a special place in my team.
That is what I think of these new fantastic beasts. :)

Gear reminds me of magnemite..I don't like its facial expressions but if it evolves into something stellar I'll reconsider my opinion of it.

What will chiramii evolve into ? I'm scared
Hopefully not something fugly and/or useless. I guess it might be available towards the start of the game so to me it seems like it will evolve into a semi-powerful pokemon.

But hey guys, from the pictures and info I don't think we have a bidoof equivalent in Isshu :D..Hopefully I don't have to take those words back later on!

This is how I see this; I completely agree that anything is possible, but even if they are of a dissimilar colour i.e; Chingling. It still has features which completely define it to being related to the certain Pokemon.. Such as the bell for chingling. The Hair for smoochum, and the physique for Tyrogue. Hm I'm not sure really.. but all I know is that we have never had such a drastic difference for a baby Pokemon. If Munna is a baby Drowzee, it completely ruins it for me. XD

imo, it seems like they ran out of ideas and researched their older ideas that were scrapped. :[

I honestly don't think they "ran out" of ideas, it seems like they already designed all the pokemon we have years ago, and just pick to release some every so often. :o

I love how everyone's saying that Munna is a pre-evo to Drowzee. Munna is the Dream Eater Pokemon, not the Hypnosis Pokemon. Not to mention Munna is obviously based on a sea cucumber. I mean, look at it, that's the stuff of nightmares.

Plus, Munna's evolution has already been confirmed.

Don't take this post seriously, because I know someone will.

P.S.- Loving all of the new Pokemon.

I love it, and this theory, either way.
This.

The Pokemon itself is pretty adorable, and I'm lovin' this theory.

It's interesting to me how someone could pick up on something like that. I mean, that text referencing to that Pokemon is a pretty minute detail. o_o Although, to me it doesn't seem like a coincidence at all. Even if someone told me it was, I don't think I'd believe them. Especially since that's the only Pokemon with any kind of floral pattern on it, without actually being a grass-type Pokemon. o_O Even they don't have fancy patterns on themselves.

I completely agree; I don't think it's a coincidence, and I have a feeling we'll be seeing that girl in this gen maybe? :o That would be such a cool idea.. all grown up like XD

It's a coincidence, and that's a very generic description. They wouldn't have hinted that long ago about a very unspectacular Pokemon....by that I mean, Munna doesn't seem like it''ll have any big role, just another Pokemon.

And use some common sense, it is not a Drowzee evo. It's merely a Pokemon that's loosely based on the same idea. It's very well established by now that baby Pokemon look very similar to their evolutions. They are not going to make this exceptions.

Why would ANYONE want a Drowzee evolution? That's so random, pre-evolutions are so stupid. I can't wait to see Munna's evolutions, I'm definitely using it on my team :).

Munna is now one of your favorites? Or only if it's a pre-evo?
It doesn't really matter, but being related to Drowzee and Hypno is a bonus.
If your name was Dexter Phillip, would you have a 'Dex to fill up? Hooray for corny puns.

Okay so I will try to increase my evidence of Munna not being a baby drowzee..
Chingling is the contradiction to how I last posted my evidence. But I still stand by the looking like the evolution. For example;
>>
As you can see Chingling is basically the Chimecho's body, just with a shorter tail and no levitation; now heres munna and drowzee.
>>

I personally see absolutely no connection to the design of these two pokemon, infact it relates more to phanpy than it does to drowzee imo.
Munna is a dream eating pokemon. But yet both Hypno and Drowzee are Hypnosis pokemon, I know this is a weak point but why would it change, another key point is that both hypo and drowzee's japanese names are to do with sleeping, munna isn't..

On another point; Munna is levitating or floating, now I know that it learns the new move Telekinesis, BUT the description of that move is to make your foes levitate; not your own pokemon. Surely if it were to evolve into drowzee it wouldn't loose the capabilities to float, because I for one have never seen a drowzee float and it wouldn't suddenly be able to do in this gen.

Okay so this is my evidence. Feel free to pull me up on stuff :o

I'll be using it on my team for sure too. XD aslong as it doesn't evolve into drowzee T__T

Chingling looks just like Chimecho and is a very natural transition. They both have the same eyes and smile, and whatever is coming out of his head is shaped Blue and Red, like Chimecho.

There are absolutely no similarities between Munna snd the Drowzee line. For what...IT'S NOT BIPEDAL. Different eyes, as well as some sort of gem-like thing on it's head (maybe for hypnosis). And can we not forget the floral pattern? It's obviously going to develop with it's evolution.

We know nothing about Munna. And just because her and Drowzee appear to have a similar concept people are already jumping to stupid conclusions? She's not a Drowzee evo.

I did think that the floral pattern would be way to unique to turn into something stupid like drowzee. XD
I'm anxious to see what it will end up evolving into.

I'm pretty sure it wont evolve into Drowzee.... but.... If you take out your glasses XD... It looks like a drowzee's head!

Nah, I'm sure it won't. It's too much of a drastic change. No flowers on drowzee at all.

I just noticed something... Drowzee and Hypno can't even learn Dream Eater by level up, and Munma is the Dream Eating pokemon.

Not it would be ironic if that picknicker had a drowzee....no, she didnt.

Okay I'm not sure if this thread has been made as of yet;
I was doing a little digging into Hihidaruma, Now my first thoughts on this pokemon were, wow a fire monkey, unoriginal and it's ugly, now I still think its ugly. BUT I don't think its Unoriginal other than its typing. XD I translated the name correctly I believe;

Hi = Fire?
Daruma is a type of doll from Japan where it has 2 discs for eyes and when you fill in one eye it means you start a goal, and when you fill in the other it means you completed the goal. So this is what I have so far..

firefiredaruma. A pic will make this easier to understand.



From the pic of hihidaruma and the daruma doll I notice the patterns on the stomach, and the eyebrows, and ofcourse the monkeyish look of the daruma doll.
I wasn't sure if this was done yet, if it has been please lock this thread :D

Someone do the maths please.
Infernape + Heatran = ???

But yes.
It says on bulbapedia:
hih = baboon
and hidaruma = body covered with flames.

There's food for thought.

Oh! I didn't know hih was baboon!
Okay that makes alot more sense, so it links the doll with the two words broken down. Hm this is an interesting pokemon ! Thanks for your addition.

comparisons between Infernape and Hihidoruma are void. Infernape is based on the Sun Wukong while Hihidoruma is based on a Dharma doll. Ironically, the sun Wukong wasn't associated with fire, but Dharma dolls are. I believe there is a certain Buddhist ceremony in which the dolls that have served their purpose in bringing luck are burned so that the spirit within could pass on to the next world.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not too well-versed in Buddhism, and that's a quick fact I read on wikipedia. XD
