Hi, everyone! With the releases of the Pokémon DLC (downloadable content) The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk, it would only make sense to do another Pokémon Around the World article. First up are two Pokémon leaked earlier this year, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves!
Walking Wake is an ancestor to Suicune, and is Water/Dragon like Kingdra, Palkia, and Tatsugiri. I distributed this Pokémon to North America, but it went extinct about 100 million years ago.
Next up is Iron Leaves, a futuristic relative to Virizion. This Pokémon is Grass/Psychic like Exeggutor, Celebi, and Calyrex, and is said to slide open trees and boulders. Just like other Future Paradox Pokémon, I made Iron Leaves man-made: Similar to Iron Valiant, it has been designed to fight in hand-to-hand combat.
Next is Dipplin, a new evolution to Applin. After being exposed to a Syrupy Apple, Applin evolves into this odd Pokémon. Despite looking identical to Applin, Dipplin is actually bigger than Applin, since it's actually made of two of them. I imagine that, about 150 years ago, Applin were brought to America by Carnies and had syrup accidentally spilt on them. This caused Applin to evolve into a new Pokémon: Dipplin, since it's an Applin that got dipped in syrup.
Next up are Poltchageist and Sinistcha, Grass/Ghost-Type lookalikes to Sinistea and Polteageist. Polthcageist is basically a small pot of matcha (a Japanese tea),but when exposed to an old Teacup, it evolves into Sinistcha. Since these Pokémon have roots in Japanese lore, I decided to distribute these Pokémon to the Land of the Rising Sun.
Next up are a trio of Legendary Pokémon that managed to defeat the powerful Grass-Type Legendary Ogerpon (more about her later). First up is Okidogi, an ill-tempered Poison/Fighting-Type canine that can pulverize anything with its chain. Because of this, I decided to ban Okidogi.
Next is Munkidori, a Poison/Psychic-Type primate with powerful ESP. Much like Poltchageist and Sinistcha, I distributed Munkidori to Japan.
And last, but not least, is the Poison/Fairy-Type avian Fezandipiti. This Pokémon can scatter pheromones to that can captivate people and Pokémon. I distributed this Pokémon to Australia, since there are quite a few poisonous birds found there.
Next is Ogerpon, a Grass-Type ogre that can be either part Water, Fire, or Rock depending on the mask it wears. It may look scary, but Orgerpon without her mask (yes, it's a female) looks rather cute.
Anyway, I decided to ban this Pokémon because of how dangerous and powerful it can be.
Remember Duraludon, a Steel-Type dragon from Generation 8? Well now, it can evolve into a new Pokemon, Archaludon. This Pokemon is so powerful that it can dig through mountains, and its lasers are also said to be powerful. Because of this, I decided to ban Archaludon.
After learning the new move Dragon Cheer, Dipplin evolves once more into Hydrapple. There are said to be at least seven 'syrpents' living in Hydrapple's apple, with the one popping out being the leader. I decided to distribute this Pokémon to India, where it lives in the country's jungles.
Remember how Suicune had a prehistoric ancestor? Well, it appears that Entei and Raikou have one too! First up is Gouging Fire, an ancestor to Entei that was Fie/Dragon like Reshiram and Turtonator. I distributed this mighty beast to North and South America, where it would hunt Slaking 1 million years ago.
Next is Raging Bolt, an ancient relative of Raikou. While Raikou is pure Electric, Raging Bolt is Electric/Dragon line Zekrom and Dracozolt. Because this Pokémon has the power to destroy everything around it with lightening launched from its fur, I decided to ban Raging Bolt.
Next is Iron Boulder, a futuristic relative to Terrakion. While Terrakion is Rock/Fighting, this Pokémon is Rock/Psychic like Lunatone and Solrock. I distributed Iron Boulder to American rodeos, where it gives a whole new meaning to mechanical bull rides.
Next is Iron Crown, a futuristic relative of Cobalion. This Pokémon is Steel/psychic like Metagross, Bronzong, and Jirachi, and is able to launch shining blades to cut everything around it to pieces. I distributed this Pokémon to major lumberjack companies, in which they use Iron Crown to cut down trees.
Next up is Terapagos, a Legendary Normal-Type turtle that is responsible for the Terastal phenomenon (in which a Pokémon can temporarily change it's Type during battle). With its ability Tera Shell, it has a resistance to every single type. However, this only happens when Terapagos' HP is full. Anyway, I distributed this Pokémon to oceans around the world, though it doesn't stay in one place.
And finally, there's Pecharunt, a Poison/Ghost-Type fruit that can control people and Pokémon with its mochi. In the same fashion as Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, and Keldeo (among others), Pecharunt cannot be caught in the games without, Arceus forbid, hacking. Anyway, I decided to distribute this Pokémon to secluded forests in Japan.
Well, that wraps up Pokemon Around the World for now! Very soon, I will upload my review of Aardman's latest feature film, Chicken Run 2: Dawn of the Nugget!
