  • That name is so bad.. so bad.. (secretly loves it) SO BAD!!! XD

    It's Another "Hmph, your not worthy of my front view" Pokemon. So Mega Sceptile got a buddy! Yay! On that note, I love it's design, looks like a actual monster those are always welcome in my book. Overall 10/10 for me.

  • I think it's called a mata mata, actually.

    New Pokemon - Turtonator

    I don't know what caused my misspelling... must be me in a rush hahahaha

    That said, it is interesting. The Mata Mata is a turtle native to South America, notably in the Amazon and Orinoco basins.

    Sweet, they made Bowser a Pokémon! :P

    But seriously, he looks pretty cool. Nice to have a Fire/Dragon type that isn't a Mega or legendary.

  • Its name is something that Dr. Doofenshmirtz would come up with, given his penchant of putting "-ator" in his inventions. That being said, it has a neat typing, the first non-legendary, non-Mega Evolved Pokemon to have this particular typing.

    That being said, Shell Trap may have some interesting applications.

  • I hope Shell Trap gets good distribution, it's like a reverse Focus Punch. The Pokemon itself looks like Druddigon 2.0, pretty cool and all, but I'm guessing they're saving bigger news for the Worlds finals on Sunday.

  • Turtanator as stated is supposed to be a Maka Maka Turtle I think. I am not sure if it is a legendary, it seems a little small.

    However, this may be the Pseudo Legend or at least one of them. The Maka Maka is a turtle I have never seen before, but it is a Least Concern in Endangerment. I think its pre evos will be based on turtles that are endangered.

    I thought it was a legend almost instantly. And it still possibly could be. It be a Dragon/Fire Legend, which isn't a new thing.

    Does anyone else think that this might be an evolution for Torkoal?

    I mean, Torkoal and Tortunator...

    I was thinking this, but it looks massively different compared to Torkoal, but I wouldn't mind one way or another. Tor is just for tortoise. Most of the turtle pokemon we have are in the game and the trailer was him battling most turtle pokemon.

  • I think it's... ugly. I don't like it. The first one that they've revealed for this generation which I instantly disliked. It's typing and ability are just meh to me as well. I'm putting it up there with Magmar in my Awful-Looking-Pokemon-I'll-Never-Use box. I hope it's not too powerful so I don't see it around much.

  • I'm kinda confused about its name. In one trailer, its name is Tortunator, but everywhere else, it's Turtonator!

    Anyway, this Pokémon is quite awesome. So it's a kappa that lives in the volcano.

    The name is quite cool. "I AM THE TURTONATOR!"

    The name is different depending on the country. Turtonator is the English. Turtunator is probably the German spelling.

  • I think everyone on Discord and myself were disappointed they hadn't revealed anything then they eventually dropped this trailer which got the hype up again. I would have liked to have seen more stuff but this is a cool Pokemon :)

  • As mentioned somewhere else they really are taunting the fans by releasing a Fire/Dragon type today. {XD}. The artwork looked kinda iffy to me, but seeing it's in-game model kinda changed my mine. The typing is rare, and the fact that's it literally a walking time-bomb is a plus.

  • Interesting design, but what I really love is how it stands backwards, hahaha. Also nice to see another dragon/fire type aside from Reshiram.
