3 Starter Pokemon in Diamond and Pearl revealed by Nintendo

5 August 2006

Posted by:Ferry

Every week that the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl release date in Japan (September 28) closes in, more Pokemon info gets unveiled. This time the 3 starter Pokemon are shown in scans. The 3 starter Pokemon are named: Naetoru (Turtwig), Hikozaru (Chimchar) and Bocchama (Piplup). The 3 starter Pokemon types seem to be: Grass/Ground, Fire/Normal, and Flying/Water.

* These new pictures also show the Electabuzz evolution is named “Elecbul” and the Roselia evolution is named “Roserade“.
* Perappu has a weird attack called “Blabber“. You record a small sentence, and then when Perappu uses Blabber, he repeats the sentence and confuses the enemy.
* Contests now have three parts. The first is the visual part, where you must dress up your Pokemon to be judged. Second part is the dance segment, and third is the standard move appeal.
* Parukia is psychic/dragon types.
* Diaruga is steel/dragon.
* Dorapion has Hidden Poison and knows Poison Fang.
* Lucario knows Feint Attack.
* Pachirisu knows Charge.
* Spark is a physical attack.
* Erekiburu knows Giga Impact and has the ability Electric Engine.
* Rozureido knows Petal Dance.

Expect the new Pokemon games from Game Freak/Nintendo to arrive in America & Europe in the first half of 2007.

Yeah. I don’t like these starters nearly as much as the charmander-bulbasaur-squirtle ones.

I don’t like monkey-like Pokemon, for starters, the leaf-thing is hideous, and I /never/ start out with a water-type because it ends up learning more HMs than it should because I’m really lazy.

As long as I can somehow get a Pidgey, I think I’ll be okay.

As for the starters, there have been pictures floating on the internet. The monkey has had no evolution pictures whatsoever, but the other two have. The third forms of the penguin and turtle have been given pictures, but were promptly labeled as “fakes,” on the basis of the sprite’s art and the character’s name. However, the turtle has a second form, which has a mild chance of being real. It’s basically a bigger version of the turtle, but the stem has grown more, and so have the turtle’s feet (into claws.) Also, from what I’ve heard, the electric squirrel has no evolution.
