Pok�mon Cameo in new GameFreak Game

The new Nintendo Direct conference, held by Satoru Iwata, has revealed Junichi Masuda and GameFreak's brand new game, Rhythm Hunter: HarmoKnight. Normally, this wouldn't warrant a post but this game, coming in Japan this September, is a 2D platformer where you have to go through levels collecting items and defeating enemies to the beat. It's worthy of note that there is a special Pok�mon level within it, where the standard battle theme plays as you go through a level with Reshiram & Zekrom in the background. Nothing else Pok�mon based seems to be within this game so we won't be covering the game
Edit @ 14:08: Seems there are other Pok�mon based levels within the game with the classic Pok�mon Gym music in the background

The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest. The transformation of its legs into wings made it better at flying, but more clumsy at walking. A Pok�mon that gained vastly enhanced flying performance by having its legs turn into wings. Having four wings enables it to fly faster and more quietly. It turns active when the night comes. Over the course of evolution, its hind legs turned into wings. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop So here it is, the eighty-fifth entry, Crobat.

These cards feature Pok�mon owned by Team Plasma, but unlike previous sets where the names had the owners or a symbol signifying they are owned by someone else, but rather they come with a bue border and just say Plasma over the art, with the name unchanged. This set features Pok�mon such as Lugia, Donphan, Rotom, Bouffalant and Skarmory. In addition to the set, there will be a half deck released featuring more of these cards. We'll bring more as the release of the set comes

Who's That Pok�mon

Today marks the eighty-second entry into the Generation V competitive field with a classic Pok�mon. These entries are created by the visitors for the visitors and then compiled by our writers Blue Harvest and TrollFreak. To get involved, Click here for the discussion forum.
Today, we are covering a Pok�mon introduced in the first generation. Seeing its swinging pendulum can induce sleep in three seconds, even in someone who just woke up. When it is very hungry, it puts humans it meets to sleep, then it feasts on their dreams. Always holding a pendulum that it swings at a steady rhythm, it causes drowsiness in anyone nearby. It carries a pendulum-like device. There once was an incident in which it took away a child it hypnotized. When it locks eyes with an enemy, it will use a mix of PSI moves such as Hypnosis and Confusion. . So here it is, the eighty-third entry, Hypno.
