wow wow wow i love the new pokemon i think there all awson with the exeption of 1 that is, ill start with my favorite

mamepato- has just over took mijumaru as my favorite 5th generation pokemon so far it is immense sooooo cute and cool, i always like the little birds but i like this one the best and since it looks like the reginal bird itll be very common witch is great, no one can say it dosnt look like a pokemon

hihidaruma- love it to i will definitly be capturing it along with mamepaton it looks really cool too iim hoping this is the first of many fire types this generation

meguroko- he looks like hes going to evolve into a big bad fighter

chirammi- same

shimama- this is were they loose there luster a bit, its avarage

munna- its not for me but still good

gear- wot the hell megneton wanabe

Reading that killed me a little on the inside. x.x
 
Wow im actually kinda dissapointed. Maybe most of these pokes will grow on me later but heres what i think...
Chirami: This is prob one of my favorite pokemon revealed. Its adorable and doesnt look like a copy of an older pokemon.
Munna: I looks like a gumball with eyes. Im not impressed.
Gear: This looks like it could have a magneton kind of twist. But still it looks like no effort was put in!
Mamepato: It looks like they changed the colors of a starly and gave it a new name. Not happy.
Hihidaruma: This thing looks... I cant even explain it... so strange.
Shimama: This poke doesnt look good. Im not a fan.
Meguroko: Looks way toooo friendly. So childish... like a Webkinz.... what were they thinking...

All in all I think they did a much better job on the starters and the legendaries. I guess that should be expected though...

Hydreigon FTW!!!!!!!
Chiramii is cute, I like it.
Munna-WTF?
Gear-Weird looking.
Mamepato-Looks alot like Starly, although its a pigeon.
Hihidaruma-When I first saw it, I thought it was the evo of Pokabu
Shimama-Reminds me a little of Girafarig, but its a zebra. Cool.
Meguroko- I love this one. Awesome type combination too. Ground/Dark.
 
Man even I have to voice my thoughts.

Chiramii - First new Pokemon I saw, I melted. ;-; I've always wanted a Chinchilla Pokemon, and this one's just ADORABLE.

Munna - Ahh it looks like a piggy bank, I want one. Actually at first I thought it looked like an earless elephant. Wouldn't mind it's evolution being one, like a fancy decorated one. I don't want it related to Drowzee, though.

Gear - ...So they took two Bronzor, reshaped the orbs into a...cog shape, gave each one an extra eye and recolored one of the pre-existing eyes, repainted them and stuck em together? Personally it's my least favorite, I can't help but see em as 2 individual Pokemon.

I do kinda call for an ability-related evolution, though. I mean, Plusle and Minun, the two who share the same abilities as this Pokemon, are actually different stat wise and movepool wise. I don't see the whole point of getting 2 sets of Gears (ohohohoho) just because of the abilities UNLESS they evolve based on the ability or (and I know I might get snapped for this) they evolve together into one Pokemon.

Mamepato - At first I was indifferent, but now I think it's adorable. SO much cuter than Starly.

Hihidaruma - When I first saw it, I hated it. I thought it was waay ugly. Then I looked at it a little more and thought it was kinda cool. Now I think it's very cool because it is based on the Daruma Doll (as implied in it's name, hurrhurr).

Shimama - It has a Shinx-like face, but I love it. I'd love it if it had a pegasus evolution (to maybe go along with Ponyta and Rapidash), but either way, I'll probably use this on my team.

Meguroko - Aaaaaa I love it. It's eyes are a little off-putting, but I think it's great. And Earthquake Spiral sounds like a good ability, imo, during trainer battles.

So far, this generation is looking good to me, only one disliked Pokemon so far *shot*
 

Luxrayess

Sound(?) asleep...
Chiramii - You. Are. So. Flippin'. Cute! But for some reason I have this gut feeling that the little generic chinchilla will have lackluster stats... Since it's Normal, it should have a fairly wide movepool.

Shimama - Ponyta's Electric-type reincarnation and Luxray's lunch. XD Because of it's size, I'm banking on this little electric zebra to have an evo. I just hope it has a wider and better-suited movepool than Ponyta and Rapidash, because this is my fave of all the revealed 5th Gen Pokes.

Munna: Cute but very bizzare. It sounds like it's going to be Drowzee version 2.0.

Hihidaruma: Okay, this thing scared me the first time I saw it! I sure hope it can fight better than it looks...

Meguroko: This guy wins the award for the most innocent-looking Dark type. Heck, it's even got a bit of a smile! ^.^ I'll be looking forward to it; it looks like it has potential.

Mamepato: Yup... we've just firgured out who's gonna be the generic bird Poke in this region!

Gear: A gimmick Pokemon it I ever saw it! At least Plusle & Minun will have someone else to pair up with... I doubt it will evolve, and if it does, I doubt it will be smashing opponents around. The gimmick Pokes never do... not to date, anyways...

Actually, I think the entire point of this issue of Corocoro was to draw attention to the Professor, rather than the Pokémon by using a few not-overly-exciting new Pokémon along with ones that we'd like.

Plus, who knows which of these Pokémon will evolve (or possibly is evolved...I'm looking at YOU Hihidaruma.)

Chiramii - it's a generic cutesy Pokémon with big ears, nothing too special, although for once, I'm going to have to submit and say that this Pokémon is the first one so far that I think looks like a Digimon. There. I said it.

Munna - I actually quite like the quirkiness of it. It reminds me of a weird thing I would find in a corner of my like...grandmother's house (see the flower designs on its body, they remind me of doilies.)

Gear - I get all weirded out by this Pokémon. I know that it has something of an obvious eye, but if you look at it from every angle, you can see three faces. I'm not sure if I like it, or if it freaks me out, but it's a Pokémon to be appreciated, for sure.

Mamepato - it does look like Starly a bit, but face it - it's drawn really well. It will most likely be our generic bird of the Isshu region, but I could be wrong - maybe it might end up like Chatot. Or something.

Hihidaruma - This thing is hilarious! Every time I look at it, I keep thinking of the "Dad's Home!" cartoon series. (Click the link. Pee your pants.) I won't be catching one, though, as my Pokabu <3 <3 <3 is the only Fire-type I'll ever need!

Shimama - OMFGWTFBBQSAUCE!!! I LOVE this new Pokémon! I've been craving a Zebra since Hoenn. Plus, I had already made my fanfic version of a zebra years ago, but gave up on it. Love it's design - to me it just screams like an evolution will make it badass. Maybe the Isshu region's Ponyta?

Meguroko - this thing is oddly charming to me. It doesn't look like a Pokémon, but it seems to be a logical condition. Before you chuck bricks at me, think about it. In Africa, crocodiles and hippopotami interact. We have Hippopotas and Hippowdon, now we just need a desert crocodile. That's probably the logic. I can see Meguroko jumping out of the sand, biting onto a Hippopotas, and dragging it into a sand-trap (in the wild.)

It seems to me that they were getting the Dunsparce (don't hate on me if you're crazy about it. I'm just saying that it doesn't have all the obvious bells and whistles.) out of the way before they reveal the rest.

I'm so disappointed, I really liked the starters and the legendaries as soon as I saw them. These new ones on the other hand... The only one I like is the Pigeon, Memepato. The mouse, the maniatic ape, the zebra and the crocodile are below good. And the other two, the gears and the pink thing, are just repulsive... if it wasn't for these two I'd say that as a whole the newest new ones are acceptable. It seems that Bronzor's been beaten as the Pokémon I dislike the most, it got the third place now. I never thought I'd say something like this but I think I despise these two new Pokémon, they don't deserve being in the same screen or game as Venomoth, Venusaur, Kecleon and at least other 489 Pokémon (The one left out is bronzor, they do deserve each other).

My thoughts

Chiramii - Cute, I like it alot. I always seem to like the cutesy type pokemon the best.
Hihidaruma - I don't like it. Its eyebrows are vile and its too similar to Heatran. It reminds me of the really badly designed 4th gen evos - mamoswine, lickylicky, tangrowth etc. JUST NO !!!
Shimama - I always wanted a zebra pokemon and I like that its electric type but I'm not sure if I like its design. Its just kinda meh. Not sure how I feel about it yet.
Meguroko - Boring. It looks boring, types are boring (even though its a new type combo) and its just blah. But I think it will have a kick-*** evo. This gens hippopotas.
Mamepato - I really like it. One of my favourite bird pokemon ever. Hope its evolution(s) are just as good.
Munna - I really really like this one. I don't know why everyone hates it so much. Its cool. And I'm sure it has nothing to do with drowzee.
Gear - NOOO !! Hate it !! I was hoping that we wouldn't get any of these crap filler pokemon this gen. This is one of the worst pokemon ver allong with bronzor and unown. I hate these type of pokemon. So boring and unimaginative. Nobody ever uses them and anime charactors never ctach them so whats the point in them. THEY SUCK !!

I'm cool with the female professor and hope that there'll be more subtle changes like this that really shake things up a bit.

The Chinchilla, Pig, Zebra, and Cogs. I like them.

The Chinchilla's combination of a multi-hit ability with Technician makes me shiver. The fact that it's called 'Sweet Slap' makes me tingle- What if it's a move that can hit up to five times, is boosted by tech, and has a 10% chance to inflactuate? Of course, I'm not getting my hopes up too high. It could just be a 10 pwr move that hits up to five times. >_<
But I'm hoping for 40pwr (60 would be WAY too strong. AS much as I'd like to see a guy like this boosted to OU... Technician, Stab, and hits multiple times? Can you say, BROKEN?), 20% chance to inflactuate, and hits up to five times. A mere two times would be two 90pwr moves. And two is the minimum for multi hit moves.

The pig is cute, if a little odd looking, though I cringe at yet another psychic pig. Meh, the move that makes the foe levitate... making me curious. Does it change the opponent's ability to levitate, a la Worry Seed? I remembering coming up with a move like that called Aero Lift. If that is how the move functions, double battle could be a very nice niche for it.
GOGOGO FLYING REGIGIGAS!

Zebra is cute. Zebra is black. Zebra is officially liked by me. Zebra is electric. Zebra has MOTOR DRIVE. If Zebra has good speed (which, being equine, wouldn't be surprising), then Zebra will be a menence. Anyone other than me thinking 'UU equivalent of Electivire'?

Cogs are interesing. Actually pull off the two pokemon in one concept well. And it is a lot more original than Magneton. The abilities make me curious- a poke other than the infamous proton electron duo with Plus/Minus? I can see using them in UU double battles for a power boost that isn't Plusle+Minum. Shame they're still crunched by EQ. But a Plus/Minus boosted Flash Cannon? Works.

Hounorable mention: The Croc's move is intruging. A free boost when you KO the foe with it.
However, they most likely won't be able to use it very well. To keep it balanced, it'll most likely be low in power (40-60?) and the pokemon itself doesn't strike me as the fastest pokemon. If said move is 80 or more power... Then passing him an Agility and sweeping strikes me as a good idea.

Ape is ape. Fire. Yay fire. Yay for only new fire pokemon in regional dex not being starter. He looks ******. I like the animation of the move they're using. But the strike me as similar to Heatran in body build.

Pidgeon: Oh, regional bird. Super Luck? Pidgeon Heart? What is this thing's evos going to be like?! Me, only real advantage I can see from it's abilities is if it get's close combat. Close Combat+Pidgeon Heart could be... intruging.

Woot, female professor. New thingy you carry around looks like IPod. Reshiram's ingame sprite is cool.



Verdict: I'm amused. Still pokemon, still keeping it real.

Why Does the White Legendary have to have a completely noticable and obvious penis?

Are you saying that Bronzor, who's based on a ancient mirror is unimaginative? No one uses them?

FUC* WRONG.

Bronzong is one of the best tanks you can get.

Just noticed the above in the scans, when you place the Hirudama scan to the left of the Chiraamii scan, you realize it's all one page and here what it says under the title:

新地方では今までの地方のポケモンの姿はほぼなく、新ポケモンがたくさん出現!
In this new region, with few Pokemon from the previous regions appearing, lot's of new Pokemon appear!

Hmmm, welcome back to Hoenn, kids?

Chiramii - Like it

Munna - Don't like it much, it's kind of, um... yeah... It looks like a china piggy bank

Gear - HAGURUMON RIPOFF Meh, creepy but not so bad

Mamepato - LOVE IT, since I'm one of the few people who actually like pigeons ^_^

Hihidaruma - Not too keen on it to say the least :S

Shimama - Like it A LOT, and agree with whatxmikeyxlikesitx said about it looking like it'll have an awesome evolution

Meguroko - LOVE IT. I'm not sure why, but I do.

And that's my two cents.

I hate the rest.

Especially the monkey. Seriously, what the hell is that thing?! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!!!

Whats all the hate for Gear?

Its one of the few pokemon that actually look like the Steel type. I'm very pleased with it, seeing as I'm a Steel-type specialist. Bronzor was an amazing additional to Archaeological pokemon, but it didn't really add much to the Steel type itself. So they both are totally different.

Shimama is my favorite so far though, been dying for a zebra pokemon.
