New Pokémon

You all know I hate posting stuff we aren't sure of, but a new screenshot has cropped up which features what looks to be an evolved form of Naetoru. Being a picture of the screen taken from a digital camera, it would be difficult but not impossible to fake, but I'm still not 100% sure on this so don't take it as a real Pokémon yet. It looks to be a Pokémon along Naetoru's evolution chain called Aobasu. It's name meaning Fresh Leaves & Nest. We are currently checking whether it is real or not. Watch this space:

New Diamond and Pearl Video

Diamond and Pearl Information.

* The Bird Pokémon has now been revealed to be #010 in the Shinou Dex, #396 in the National Dex. It's call Mukkuru and is the Gray Starling Pokémon and is Normal/Flying Type. We are not 100% sure on the authenticity of this yet but several seperate screenshots have come through. We're classing it as legitimate for the time being, as it seems to have come from an updated PokéJungle demo. We'll keep you aprised

* Two new Pokémon Sihlouettes were revealed via the official site earlier today (One being Mukkuru). Click below to go to the new Pokémon Page. It is unknown what these Pokémon are and what types they are

* The Pokémon Garden aspect of the official site has also revealed that there may be a pre-evolved form of Roselia and a pre-evolved form of Lucario, but this does not make it 100% fact
* Elekible's move, Giga Attack requires the user to rest afterwards like with Hyper Beam
* Elekible's ability Electric Engine states that when Elekible is hit by an Electric attack, it's speed increases and it does not take damage
* Chiremu has a new attack called Spell. This attack stops the foe from being able to make critical hits
* Instead of using Pokéblocks to increase your Pokémon's Contest stats, you use a new item called Pofin, or PokéBread as it will inevitably be called here. You have to mix them on the touch screen and the more accurately you make it the higher the level and effect. Click below to go to our Super Contest section, now updated with more information

Super Contests

* The Global Trading Station allows you to put the Pokémon you're willing to trade up and state what you would like in return including Pokémon Name, Level and Gender. If it finds a match that the trainers agree to, a trade is done. If not then it stays on the system until you cancel. You can also look at the Pokémon open for trades and put in an offer.

Pocket Monsters - Diamond & Pearl anime will air on September 28th, 2006 and will feature the three new announced Pokemon Naetoru, Hikozaru and Pocchama.

It was previously announced that around 90% of all Pokémon will evolve in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl — some old Pokémon gain new forms: the previously announced Rozureido* and the hitherto unnamed evolved form of Electabuzz:

Electric Engine is the signature ability of Erekiburu*.

It is as yet unknown what conditions have to be met before evolution occurs.

Note: The trademark registration for these Pokémon have not been made public, or do not exist.

Distribution of Pokémon between Diamond and Pearl

As with all the Pokémon games, the distribution and encounter rates of Pokémon differ between Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

New moves

• Lucario learns Feint (フェイント), which can strike even if the opponent uses moves like Protect or Detect.
• Dorapion* learns Poison ? (どくびし), which inflicts Poison on Pokémon that are switched in.
• Perap's signature move is Chattering (おしゃべり), which causes Confusion in the opponent. The player may use the DS microphone to record speech for this move.

The new battle system

As previously reported, the battle system in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl undergoes some dramatic changes. First, all damaging moves are categorised as one of Physical (ぶつり) or Special (とくしゅ) individually, instead of by type. Consequently, Dorapion will be able to take advantage of its high Attack stat even with this moveset:

• Thunder Fang (かみなりのキバ)
• Ice Fang (こおりのキバ)
• Flame Fang (ほのおのキバ)
• Poison Fang (どくのキバ)

In the previous battle systems, the first three of the above moves would be categorised as Special, however, in Diamond and Pearl, these are instead Physical moves.

Pokémon Super Contests

The next generation of the Pokémon Contests introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire is the Pokémon Super Contest (ポケモンスーパーコンテスト). A new feature allows the player to change into a tuxedo or dress before going on stage. Up to four people can participate in Super Contests, which have three stages:

Visual judging (ビジュアル審査)

Using the touch screen, the player can dress up their Pokémon with accessories.

Dance judging (ダンス審査)

Choreograph your Pokémon and three backup dancers — points are scored for coordination and rhythm.

Performance judging (えんぎ審査)

As in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, impress the audience and judges using your Pokémon's moves.

コロコロ Information

Well more info has come from CoroCoro focusing on the WiFi features. Thanks to Coronis for assistance on translation:

* The Underground world of Shinou mentioned before appears to be a co-operative area where you link up with a friend (Over Wireless and WiFi) and search for items and Pokémon, tackling puzzles enroute. Fossils are primarily found here
* The underground area is also where the secret bases are situated and there is a game called Flag Retrieval. Each person has a flag in their secret base and when connected you need to go to your friends base and retrieve their flag. There are Rocks and Leaves and many other traps that can slow you down or stop you on that route
* The Battle Tower makes a return with global WiFi battling in a special WiFi Battle Room
* There is a Global Trade Station where you can meet up with people online around the globe and trade with people.
Currently it is unknown if the Global Trade Station & Battle Tower require Friend Codes, but considering there is a WiFi Center in each Pokémon Center, it is likely that these are random battles & trade hunts.

D/P Information

Well CoroCoro has revealed a boat load of new information including the starters as we described the other day:

* Naetoru or Naetle as you'll see elsewhere is the Grass Type Pokémon starter. With the Young Leaf Classification, It has the standard Overgrow ability. It has the attack Razor Leaf
* Hikozaru is the Fire Type Pokémon Starter. With a Young Ape Classification, it also has the standard Blaze ability. It knows the attack Ember
* Pocchama is the Water Type Pokémon Starter. With the Penguin Classification, it has the standard Torrent ability. It knows the attack Bubble

* Rozureido, the previously confirmed Roselia evolution has the classification of Bouquet Pokémon and has the Natural Cure & Poison Point abilities. It also knows Petal Dance

* Elekible or Elekiburu as you may see around is now confirmed to evolve from Electabuzz. It's classification is Thunder & Electricity Pokémon and it has a new ability, Electric Engine, which increases Elekible's speed in battle under certain circumstances. It knows a new attack called Giga Impact which does powerful damage.

* Mime Jr. is a Pokémon exclusive to Pokémon Diamond. It has the Soundproof and Filter abilities
* Bonsly is a Pokémon exclusive to Pokémon Pearl. It has the Rock Head & Sturdy abilities
* Lucario knows a new attack called Faint. It manages to attack the foe even if it has successfully used Protect or Detect
* Perap knows a new attack called Blabber. This attack confuses the foe. This attack also lets you record your voice so that that is played when Perap uses it
* Pachirisu knows the attack Spark
* Contests have returned to the game and are now called Super Contests. They are done in 3 rounds and still have the usual aspect from Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald:
* The first round of Contests is where you dress your Pokémon up using the Touch Pen and certain items that you have access to such as crowns. This is the Visual Judgement category
* The second round is called the Dance Judgement category. Your Pokémon joins in a dance routine and you get rated based on rhythm and co-ordination. It is unknown how this will physically work as of yet
* The final round is the same as last time, the Performence Judgement category. You use your Pokémon's attacks to create dazzling appeals and try to Jam the other participants

Fake & Possible Pokémon

I got the PokémonCenter News Letter, and here were the only two imaqges that were important:

D/P Starter Information

First off is the pretty much confirmed stuff is that we have three new Pokémon names from some official merchandise being released in Japan later this year. These names are Naetoru, Hikozaru & Bocchama. Now these names are speculated to be for the starters with Naetoru meaning Sprout Beetle and Hikozaru meaning Fire Child Ape. However this association is yet to be confirmed. If it is confirmed it puts to question the previously revealed information from the official site regarding the starter triangle.

However, in a Japanese Blog, a person claimed to get an Exclusive Tour of Nintendo HQ and saw the three starting Pokémon. He states that the starters follow the previous type triangle and claims that the Fire Type had the name Hikozaru. He described the Grass Starter as having a body similar to Chikorita and a face like Trapinch. The Fire Type he also confirmed to be a Fire Ape similar to how the name obtained on official merchandise states. Finally he states that the water type seems to be similar to a Penguin in appearance.

However since this information has come from a Blog, chances are it's fake...but if not and if the writer is sincere, this could be the first information we have for the starters. Chances are we will not know for sure until next week at the earliest, maybe mid-September. Remember, the above information is NOT 100% confirmed so take it with a grain of salt. Thanks to Coronis for the translations. Rest assured, we will keep you aprised on these as soon as possible.
