Famitsu's score is honestly meaningless.

I believe the starters are real.

Most importantly, I am totally nerd raging that fourteen cards from Lost Link and Clash at the Summit were cut from Triumphant. Seriously, TPCI, you annoy me.

Ok, so, even if there's supposed to be big leaps between the starter evos, the third 'evolution' of Mijumaru looks absolutely nothing like its pre-evo. Pokabu's line, I can kind of see, but Tsutaaja's final is less than satisfying. All that aside, I suppose it doesn't really matter if I think they're awful or not. But I'm really praying these are fake.

If the previous image were REAL, I will take Mijumaru or Tsutaja

O, please no! Don't add credibility, Tsutaaja's final forme looks way to much like Milotic, Pokabu's looks too much like Rhyperior with Infernape-ish features, and Mijumaru's final forme looks like Dialga with some features from Walrein, Rapidash and Manectric.

i knew it, the fire starter pokemon's final evolution came from a chinese myth, and the water one's final evolution came from the west and the grass one's final evolution came from japan

Actually, Sugimori claims that Tsutaaja's final evolution is the western design and Mijumaru's is the Japanese one.

Erm, this interview doesn't coincide at all. How is the grass final western in any way? and how does the water final have a sword? In the supposed interview he says that the shell becomes like a katana, i don't see a katana...

So you don't see that giant stabbity shell on Mijumaru's final evolution's head? Or how it's an otter/sea lion hybrid, which specifically aligns with Sugimori's basis for Mijumaru's evolution?

Now, if I had to guess:
Tsutaaja's evolution is western because it looks very much like European royalty. Its frills make it look like it has a robe, and it has two protrusions on its head that resemble a crown.

Pokabu's evolution is Chinese for the yellow markings on its belt. A pig is also an animal from the Chinese zodiac, and its design in general has a very Chinese flair.

Mijumaru's evolution is Japanese because it has shell armor on its legs that highly resemble a samurai's. Its shell likely detaches from its head to use as a sword, as Sugimori implies.

@Frost
you said exactly what i wanted to say!
you 're absolotly right.
even if those don't prove to be the true evos your statements are obvious...

um.. frost pokabu's final evolution came from the chinese monkey king thing, one of the warriors from heaven

the tears of stupid little kids who hate the new starters are delicious

I hope these are real.

@ krisp

save some for me man, I'm famished.

yesssssssss! these starters are sounding more real by the second!

im with you krisp

damn the fire starter sucks as much as krisp and bmac do at these games (fuckin horible). the grass is the only cool one here. the other 2 can leave.

Im likin these starters more and more and im hopin these are real. Im likin the whole myth vibe to them, gives them some omf. HOWEVER, I still cant get over the fact that pokabu's final looks too much like rhperior and magmortor. Im more likley gonna do something different and choose the grass or water starter. Any confirmation on there types yet?

Dude, Tussuja and Mujimaru's evos are so gheto man, they are Horrible.

tsutaaja's is awsome!!!!! mujimaru is cool.
no comment on porkubo

I hate the fact that they are supposedly real.

the whole game is based on traditions, even the game title came from the chinese yin yang symbol, on the yin yang symbol, there's a black dot on the white side just like how zekrom is in pokemon white, and there's a white dot on the black side just like how reshiram is in pokemon black

i hope its true tat the isshu region is based on new york city

i too also love the fact that every thing is related to the tradition thingy. i also thought like that the anime is like with the tradition like pkmn and then the bad guys come in and say like they dont give a sht about this (somthin like that)

may be i am sidin with zht1997 and frost
