    Yeah, I know. That's why I was saying that I hoped someone came up with a better translation for it, since "Bug Resistance" sounds pretty lame in English. I can't read Japanese at all, other than a little bit of katakana, so I have no way of knowing what an attack name written in hiragana...

    I really hope someone comes up with a better translation for that new Bug-type move, because "Bug Resistance" is really bad. Of course, back before D/P came out, everyone was translating Bug Buzz's Japanese name as "Bug Upheaval," which is equally awful-sounding... so I'm guessing it'll get a...

    Gigaiasu looks a bit too... fully-evolved to be showing up all over the place in caves like Geodudes did. If anything, it'll be its unevolved form showing up everywhere. And really, Geodudes in all the caves weren't that bad, since they were slow enough to run away from and had two...

    Ah, so it burns up all their berries so they're all burnt and gross and inedible. Not what I was expecting at all, but it works. The ability sounds like an extremely useful one... I wonder if the boost would be enough to make 1-hit-KOs actually usable without Mind Reader/Lock-On/ridiculously...

    There's hardly any Grass/Flying types, though... only the Hoppip line and Tropius. Maybe you were thinking of Bug/Flying.

    ...because every single generation before it did the same thing? You couldn't get Mewtwo until after the E4 in the 1st-gen games. You couldn't get a Houndour, Murkrow, Sneasel, Slugma, or Larvitar before the E4 in Gold and Silver. You couldn't get the Regis, Rayquaza, or Latios/Latias before...

    Victini's new move "Complete Burn" sounds like either a Fire-type 1-hit-KO, or maybe a burn equivalent of Toxic. I wonder... if it is Burn-Toxic, would the Attack-lowering effect also increase, or just the damage? That flying squirrel looks an awful lot like a Pachirisu evolution. Same "white...

    They're looking for the Holy Grail. Think about it: they're knights. Their team name is Plasma, aka the liquid part of blood. The Holy Grail is a cup that was supposedly used to catch some of Jesus's blood during the crucifixion, and was often sought after by knights. Now, I'm pretty sure a...

    I'm going for option #2, because it's already pretty safe to say we're getting at least one new evolved form (there's absolutely no way Mamanbo isn't a Luvdisc evolution... it'd be like making Probopass completely unrelated to Nosepass), and it'd be a bit silly to have only one Pokémon related...

    About the "Fire-type shortage" in Diamond and Pearl--the problem wasn't that there weren't very many Fire-type Pokémon. If I counted them up right, there's the same number of Fire-types as there are Fighting-types, and I haven't seen anyone complain about a Fighting-type shortage. Plus...

    So... apparently Victini is Psychic/Fire type. I figured it would be either Normal, Fighting, or Psychic... but Fire is kind of unexpected. Wonder what its ability does... I'm starting to think that the new deer probably isn't related to Stantler, which is a good thing (we don't need too many...

    I'm not really seeing the "graphics are so great compared to the 4th-gen games" thing. Based on the screenshots, the 5th-gen games don't really look a whole lot better to me, graphics-wise, than Diamond and Pearl did... and definitely not as good as HeartGold/SoulSilver. Of course...

    Yeah, they'd probably cut off the heights/weights at certain points. Something like 2 feet minimum and 8 feet maximum for height would include pretty much every human on the face of the planet (except kids that are too young to be playing video games anyway, and maybe a handful of insanely tall...

    Yeah, it's kind of down on one knee. I took the poses into account (the Hypno is in kind of an odd pose too, and the Doduo's heads aren't held completely upright), but the Machoke still looks too small to possibly be 4'11" unless the girl is around that height herself, or maybe even taller...

    I'm guessing they just picked the first slot that was open and stuck it in there. There are no Missingo. slots before Mew, and the first ones (two in a row) don't show up until a little further down the list, after Gyarados, Shellder, Tentacool, Gastly, Scyther, Staryu, Blastoise, Pinsir, and...

    Mew was a last-minute addition to the game that someone snuck in as a prank, pretty much, so it's not like they had the entire development period to figure out where it would go in the Pokédex (like they apparently did with Victini.) I'm guessing the only reason they even chose Mew to be the...

    Ehh... I seriously doubt Isshu is supposed to be some part of the United States. First of all, all the other regions were very obviously the same shape as the part of Japan they were based on. There's no reason to assume that the same wouldn't apply to other countries, especially since we know...

    Probably not, since Gold and Silver came out a while before the "Chuck Norris Facts" and his insane Internet fanbase really started (I know I don't remember hearing anyone telling those Chuck Norris jokes until 2003-2004, and Gold and Silver came out in... what, 1999? 2000?) And I don't think...

    Well, there's a Fighting-type Gym Leader named Chuck... Hmm... all the way to #647? So we're getting over 150 new Pokémon if this is accurate, and we'll probably get to see #666 in this generation if the legendaries haven't even started by #647. The Ground/Bug is probably new, as pretty much...

    Only one? The new heartfish does look like it's almost definitely a Luvdisc evolution, but the rocky thing in the middle looks quite a bit like part of the Nosepass family to me... Especially in the new screenshot with the heart-fish. It has a giant pointy orangey-red nose on a blue rock-like...
