Pre-release Pokemon

These is a sneak peek of the new Pokemon in the 5th generation. This was actually released quite some time ago in the CoroCoro issue during June, but if you have not seen these Pokemon, then here are a few.


This is Chillarmy (Japanese name of course). It is Normal type, it could have a variety of moves. It doesn't look really tough, but its Technician ability could probably make this guy interesting.

This is Gear, the well... Gear Pokemon! Steel type, with a Plus and Minus ability, so for those who Double Battle, now you don't always have to shove a Minun next to Plusle (then again, who uses these two Pikachu mimics, anyways?). I'm curious to see if this Pokemon has any special attacks, otherwise, they are better off attached to the screwed on a Magnemite =\

And finally this is Manepato, the Baby Pigeon Pokemon. I guess the Pokemon company always has to stick some Normal/Flying type bird in every single damn generation, but hopefully this won't be a Pidgeot/Fearow/Noctowl. It does gain Super Luck, for your Critical Hax pleasure, and Pigeon Heart, a new ability that prevents reduction of the defense stat (maybe useful if its evolution learns Close Combat?). I wonder how this will turn out...

So these are the three Pokemon I'll talk about for now, stay tuned for more. And Black and White comes out in 2 weeks, quite exciting. Hope you Pokemon fans pre-ordered it (of course, those who can read Japanese).
