I searched Deviantart for Hiyappu and I got this:
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=Hiyappu#/d2y2cso

I translated it into english using a crappy internet translator in the spoiler below. Keep in mind that this person probably didn't know the whole name switch thing.

That's not Hiyappu, that's a Yanappu recolor

It does not help that we only see Yanappus head and not the head of the other one because it is covered by moonspeak and the HP bar......

I think they are the new "eeveelutions".
I was thinking about this, but I wouldn't like for them to replace the eeveelution line. Sure they could be similar, but I'd like for at least another eeveelution down the line. Although if Black and White keeps its word of an "all new everything" I would just have to get used to it. However seeing as they are known as the "monkey trio" it fits the shoe best, and seeing as the eeveelutions have more than 3, I doubt the monkeys will be the next eeveelutions.

Aside from that I fond a lot of water type pokémon, and the water monkey looks pretty awesome from what I can see (the back of its head). :x

Yes... the monkey trio. If they have evolutions, I will not be surprised if one is covering his eyes, one his ears, and one his mouth.
Currently Playing Pokémon White, and loving it

My showcase thread, featuring Fakemon (like a Pachirisu evolution and Legendary Unown), new types (Light
and Glass), and new items.

Yeah! I've gotten excited to Yanappu before. Especially since they announce that Yanappu is actually one of a trio monkey just like itself. This is cool! I wonder if they have an Evolutions.

Since they're the new Plusle/Minun assuming they're real, they won't have evolutions.
Pokexperto says otherwise.

I honestly take what he says true considering what went on last generation with his site.

The only thing he has given us that was fake was the starter evos.

This was fanart made by a guy on Pokejungle:


When shown to Melkor of Pokexperto he said the only thing that was wrong was the lack of white armpit hair. Basically Yanappu evolves and gets an Elvis Forelock. This makes sense because one of the designers of pokemon interviewed in the Poke Pia magazine said they studied hair styles.

Also according to Melkor, Hiyappu's evo gets dreadlocks.

Actually, I was thinking that there would be a pre-evo that could evolve in one of the monkey trio, and in Gen I there were only 3 eeveelutions. I'm not hoping that they will be the new ones, but I think that there won't be any new eeveelutions in Gen IV, so replacing them is possible.

Well it seems like this Monkey Trio is based on the Three Wise Monkeys.


Yanappu, with its mouth open, represents "Speak No Evil."


With its hand by its ear, Baoppu represents "Hear No Evil."


Hiyappu, with its eyes closed, represents "See No Evil."

These GameFreak guys are geniuses! :)

I didn't even know the "Speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil" had anything to do with monkeys..XD

This makes me love the trio even more! <3

The Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil and See No Evil is a fitting concept. :) I guess it should have been expected that GameFreak would have used that concept considering they used three monkeys for this generation. Plus it always seems like they use older myths and stories to base upon their created pokémon; these are no exception.

I like the fact that they have a cultural reference... which is probably what most of the other newer Pokemon will have, somehow.

The only issue with the monkeys? The head of the red one. D:

I also noticed that each monkey has a a little "Pedal" in it's tail with the fire one having 1, the grass one having 2 while the water one has 3 so I wonder if that has anything to do with their pokedex order at all :)?

I'm posting my love for sea monkey here as well~

I love love loveeee this thing! Sea monkeys were my favorite little "pets" as a kid, and now there is a Pokemon of one! <3 Beautiful bright blue color, adorable pose, and the closed eyes just sealed the deal for me.

The fire monkey's bashfulness is really cute, and Yanappu's neutral cheeryness is awesome. I'm glad they gave the three monkeys such distinct expressions and personalities instead of being boring. ^.^

Baoppu looks o much better than the other two. I'll be using it instead of going with Pokabu so I can go with Tsutaaja and still have a Fire-Type.

Oh, I thought they had relation to cards - since one looks like clubs, one looks like a diamond and one looks like spades. Though the numbering order might make more sense. :x

They kind of do now that you mention it now we only need a forth monkey as Hearts :P
Oh yeah these are the monkey's numbers (I was wrong with the numbering order thing XD) and rumored evolution descriptions according to Pokebeach:
  • Yanappu - Basic - Grass
  • 512/018 - ????? - Stage 1 - Grass: Same design as Yanappu but larger, with an Elvis forelock, more hair, and arrogant pose.
  • 513/019 - Baoppu - Basic - Fire: A monkey with an orange/red body with a flame-style hair and tail. It has a sleepy face.
  • 514/020 - ????? - Stage 1 - Fire: It is fatter than Grass evolution and seems confused. Tail and hair have flames. Red/orange color.
  • 515/021 - Hiyappu - Basic - Water: A monkey that's cheerful and has fountain-shaped hair. Light blue color.
  • 516/022 - ????? - Stage 1 - Water: The most sociable of all these monkeys, it has a somewhat rasta hair style. Light blue color.

Instead of diamond, I think the two leaves on Yanappu looks like a heart. But yeah, I think this was the intention of the tails.
