d4rk_13l1t2er Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Let's see what's the chance of ppl outside Japan to have the merchandise around... Nil i guess? Oh, or perhaps play-asia, anyone ? And three new pokes introduced, this should be great ...
DanteKoriyu Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 The keychains are Arceus, Pikachu, and Raichu. You can tell its them pretty easily. Excuse the terrible drawings. 1. I don't really know the poses. and 2. I just wanted to prove my point, not paint a mural. lol
Illithian Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 The keychains are Arceus, Pikachu, and Raichu. You can tell its them pretty easily. Excuse the terrible drawings. 1. I don't really know the poses. and 2. I just wanted to prove my point, not paint a mural. lol Why would they make two keychains for Pikachu and Arceus? That makes no marketing sense at all. Secondly, is it possible that the within first item on sale (メダルA), the second coin has new pokemon?
DanteKoriyu Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Why would they make two keychains for Pikachu and Arceus? That makes no marketing sense at all. Because it's Pokemon, and they've done this before in the past. They love to whore out the series mascot and the mascot of whatever movie is out at the time.
Invader TAK Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 20 bucks says these are merely "new formes" of Pokemon that will probably be in HeartGold/SoulSilver (like the Notched-Ear Pichu).
PaDdY! Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 DanteKoriyu is rightb its arceus, pikachu and raichu, but the pikachu and raichu will be notched ear.
DanteKoriyu Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 DanteKoriyu is rightb its arceus, pikachu and raichu, but the pikachu and raichu will be notched ear. You are probably right about them showcasing the Jagged-Eared evolutions, but I'm not going far enough out on that limb to say that just yet, simply because the parts of the ears we can see look normal as of right now. Though with it being Pikachu AND Raichu, I don't really see any other reason. for Raichu to be included.
Guested Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 DanteKoriyu is rightb its arceus, pikachu and raichu, but the pikachu and raichu will be notched ear. You think their ears will have notches? Highly doubtful.
d4rk_13l1t2er Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I thought it's only me who thought of Raichu as the last spot ...
Illithian Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Yeah, it makes sense that Pikachu and Raichu would have notched ear forms, but notched ear doesn't fit into those keychain positions; look at Dante's drawing, both ears are showing for the Pikachu and Raichu. Nintendo would make it obvious that it was a notched ear form on a keychain, so I highly doubt its any of the three pokemon you stated. We'll find out. On another note, has anyone pre-ordered them?
Guested Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Yeah, it makes sense that Pikachu and Raichu would have notched ear forms, but notched ear doesn't fit into those keychain positions A notch can fit anywhere, because a notch is an indent.
Poke J Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) If you think about it they all ready did this trick. They put the jagged ear pichu into a question mark and everyone thought it was a new pokemon. So I dout they are going to be new pokemon. I think they are just arcues, pikachu, and the third one i think could be raichu darkrai sky shaymin or a realy messed up heatran. Edited June 28, 2009 by Poke J Jagged sounds better then notched
FLOOTENKERP Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 20 bucks says these are merely "new formes" of Pokemon that will probably be in HeartGold/SoulSilver (like the Notched-Ear Pichu). DanteKoriyu is rightb its arceus, pikachu and raichu, but the pikachu and raichu will be notched ear. If you think about it they all ready did this trick. They put the noch ear pichu into a question mark and everyone thought it was a new pokemon. So I dout they are going to be new pokemon. I think they are just arcues, pikachu, and the third one i think could be raichu darkrai sky shaymin or a realy messed up heatran. Enough with the "Notched" nonsense. Guested has already stated that the best translation is "Jagged". Leave the bad translations to Serebii. Anyways, I think one of these will be Arceus, but with a new form. It wouldn't make sense to use the same Pokemon twice, so why not give them new forms? I will so be importing these items. They look so awesome.
InuYouki Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Thank you Floot. I am so tired of this "notched" business. How many times does Guested have to say it? Its not like Guested lives in japan or anything >.> Anyway, it could be possible that they are JAGGED eared versions of Pikachu and Raichu. I hope so, since a Pichu is otherwise useless even with a good move set. I would want to evolve mine and I would be very upset to find out it evolves into a normal Pikachu. As far as a new species of pokemon goes, I doubt it. Seems too soon for a new generation when they are focused on HG/SS
.:Loky:. Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Theres now a trailer on the site (kinda) which has what i think to be a tutorial on how to get the jagged ear pikachu by team rocket. Also after the trailer, thers profiles on Arceus, Giratina, Palkia and Dialga. And when you hove over them, Arceus say something in japanese but finsihes it sentence with pikachu.
WiiGamin Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 My thoughts? Its possible that its a revelation of a few Pokemon from the next generation. Why would they hide Pokemon that are already well known? Revealing one or three Pokemon before a full new generation revelation has become a bit of a habit for Nintendo. The timing seems right, as well. Who knows? We'll see soon enough. :wink:
Okami Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Hm. It is interesting.... I actually kind of want the three Johto starters keychain...they were always my favorite beginners set, next to the original trio
~SilverEmbrit~ Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Middle is clearly pikachu top right, and jagged ear pichu bottom left. Edited June 29, 2009 by ~SilverEmbrit~ No need to click.
DanteKoriyu Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Adding in the Jagged-Ear Pichu in the second one with Pikachu makes a lot more sense, as I was having a hard time thinking of how Pikachu would fill that odd pose all by himself. I can totally see the poses they take in it now. The final Arceus one on the right (One thal looked like a Raichu to me. lol) makes more sense pose wise as well, but while I was expecting multiple of Arceus, 3 of 'em was more than I was thinking they'd go with.
~SilverEmbrit~ Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Same here, but to be honest could we really expect new pokemon so close to the final dpp movie. O'd say wait until towards the eng HG&SS is released to talk 5th gen
FLOOTENKERP Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 They announced Bonsly while we were still in the 3 generation, I'm pretty sure they will announce some future Pokemon this generation, at the very least though. But one of those has to be the Jagged Eared Pichu.
EmperorDragon Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I find it highly unlikely these are new pokemon. We're too far off the next generation of games. I think it more likely new pokemon would be released during the film/anime series that immediately precedes a new generation, in this case the HGSS film(s)/anime if they get made. This pattern goes back to Lugia in the 2nd movie (last movie before release of generation II), Latias and Latios in the 5th movie (last movie before geneartion III), and Lucario and Manaphy in the last two movies of generation III. I like the idea of different Arceus formes. Discovering a room in the game where Arceus can change forme could be the story behind the screenshots of the player with Arceus and Cynthia. Also, since Giratina has two formes it could be probable that Palkia and Dialga also have another forme each.
