5th Gen New Pokemon [ 8/6/2010 ] & August CocoCoro scans

Well, I know what starter I will be getting - Mijumaru. I definitely like the seasonal concept, it makes Isshu seem much more realistic.
 
Tabunne is still a rumor Pokémon. There's a chance it could be fake.
 
I see it turning into maybe a big Unagi, eel or something.
 
Pachirisu kinda failed as a Pika Clone to me though. Piplup really took over for Sinnoh. I guess they are going to try this again!
 
I hope Emonga is stronger than previous Pika clones. They're always cute but usually too weak to keep in your team.
Pichu was a weaker version of Pikachu, Minun and Plusle are way too weak and their teamwork gimick wasn't enough to make up for it and Pachirisu's stats were abysmal. I actually really like Emonga unlike the other Pika clones so I will probably end up keeping one with me anyway.

Well, duh. It's a pre-evolution of Pikachu. They're not going to make something strong be a pre-evolution of a weaker Pokémon.

Um.
I realize that. Pichu was Gen 2's Pika clone. It was a weak Pokemon.
That was all I said in my post. Get it?

You can't really say that though, as a reason to prove the point that all the past ones were weak.

That's like saying Snorlax is weak because Munchlax is it's pre-evolution.
 
Actually, Marill was the main Pikachu-clone of generation 2, tbh.

This.

Pichu can't be a clone of Pikachu because it turns into Pikachu.

Munchlax isn't a clone of Snorlax, it turns into Snorlax.

There's a difference.

If anything, Marill is probably the only Pikachu clone that never even looked anything like Pikachu.

Just thought I'd point that out.

Marill looks about as much as Pikachu as Pachirisu and Emonga does. :(
 
Twilight Sky said:
Well, when you think about it, Marill doesn't have those "Pikachu" features like Pachirisu and Emonga does. If anything, Emonga is a Pachirisu clone than a Pikachu clone to me. The body shape of Marill is completely different to that of Pikachu, and the only thing that they may have in common is their tail structure. Other than that, no other real similarities, unless Pikachu gained some pounds here and there.

Gain some pounds like this? D:

Anywayssssss...eh, to be honest I don't care too much about which Pokemon are the Pika clones and such. If I like a Pokemon, I like a Pokemon. I know some people don't want a Pokemon similar to Pikachu and such, but it doesn't bother me too much if a Pokemon is a Pika clone. I tend not to think about that too much. *shrugs*

The body shape of Marill and Pikachu used to be much more similar in early generations. Pikachu looked like the cards in the anime at the beginning.

Pikachu joined Weight Watchers.
 
I don't think Emonga will get an evolution, so maybe a pre-evolution next generation, meaning it may become a Pika/Marill clone more so. Then again, that's just how I see it, so yeah.
 
I don't see any evolutionary potential in Emonga either, which makes me sad, since I love it and would like to have a reason to keep it in my in-game team other than 'it's cute' :c. You never know, of course, but it looks fairly complete to me, and Pachirisu didn't evolve either. It's awesome enough as it is tbh. B) If it learns Fly, though, I'll stick with it. Since it is a flying squirrel and a Flying-type, though not all Flying-types learn Fly. Here's hoping.
