[Water Pokémon Master]

Discuss!

 

[PG24]

When bathed in sunlight, it can move even faster than usual. It can use its vines more skillfully than its hands.

... but it doesn't have the ability Chlorophyll.

Edit: oh, I just noticed its Black entry also talks about that. That is weird.

 

[JetpackPercy]

When I first saw Kyurem, I though "Man, the designers got LAZY with this. It looks unfinished!"

Then I read:

A legendary Ice-type Pokemon that waits for a hero to patch its incomplete body with truth and ideals.

That's when the bets were off...

 

[Their Goominess]

Basculin: Red and blue Basculin are always fighting very wildly. Apparently, if you eat them they are surprisingly tasty.

Anyone else surprised about this entry? Nintendo+GF tend to steer away from Pokemon being used as food.

And references to N/Player Character from B/W in Reshi and Zekki's 'Dex entries is always nice.

 

[don()shinobi]

Ferrothorn: It strikes with its 3 tentacles, then fires its thorns, pulverizing the opponent until no traces are left.

What a nice thought.

 

[TheAmazingDerpfish]

Stunfisk: When it fails to paralyze an opponent, it undulates its body with surprising speed and bounces away.

Fly, Stunfisk, Fly!

---

Lampent: It sucks up souls to stoke its flame. It hangs around in hospitals waiting for people to die.

Keep it creepy, Lampent.

 

[Glace]

I get an error when I click post a message on PB Forums.

That Genesect thing is kind of odd. So they plan on using Genesect as a cannon? If it went into battle it would be weighed down =P

 

[Bisharp37]

Did anyone Read pawniard/Bisharp's Dex Entries There such pleasant thoughts..

Pawniard: Even if it gets injured, it doesn’t care. It attacks its prey in a group, using the blades all over its body.

Bisharp: A scary Pokemon that will take the injured, immobile prey that battled a group of Pawniard, and portion it out.

At least my favorite Pokemon gets a decent Dex entry though...

 

[Chimecho3000]

Klang: It split into a mini gear and huge gear. If the mini gear is hurled as an attack but doesn’t return, it dies.

Klang has a 15% chance of killing itself when it uses Gear Grind...

 

[Metalizard]

When I first saw Kyurem, I though "Man, the designers got LAZY with this. It looks unfinished!"

Then I read:


That's when the bets were off...

I think that was obvious since it was first seen but ok...

 

[Videoland]

Cofagrigus: It takes grave robbers who draw near, mistaking it for a real coffin, and locks them inside its body.

I wonder how many people are locked inside Ghetsis Cofagrigus ;__;

 

[CMP]

Loving how utterly dark many of these 'dex entries are. Trapping people inside coffins, death, predators...might just be me, but I dont remember previous gens' entries being so grim and violent. Pretty cool!

They're stepping their game up. I'm going to read all of these. I wonder if Yamask's is any different.

Okay, here are ones I liked!
(spoiler'd because I liked a lot)

Spoiler

Serperior: Serperior will only go all-out against a strong opponent that is unfazed after being stared down by its sublime eyes.

hawt

Emboar: The flame in its beard burns as proof of its fighting spirit. It can easily use numerous techniques.

A flaming beard? How manly.

Samurott: While the enemy is blinking, it slashes it with the reed swords attached to its forelegs and sheathes them again.

Samurott moves faster than the human eye can blink. Now I'm scared.

Gigalith: Collected sunlight undergoes a reaction within its energy core, and is forged into a ball of light.

This explains Solarbeam.

Swoobat: When it emits ultrasonic waves that are strong enough to shatter concrete, its tail vibrates violently.

Never let Swoobat near a construction site. Ever.

Audino: It uses the antennae on its ears to determine the physical condition of its opponents, and when a Pokemon will hatch from its egg.

Dude, forget Flame Body; I'm using Audino.

Seismitoad: Vibrations are produced from the power stored in its lump, increasing the power of its punches.

In its what-now?

Whimsicott: It appears along with a whirlwind and plays pranks, like moving furniture inside houses and leaving cotton behind.

But if you don't find cotton, then your house is probably haunted.

Sigilyph: The guardian deity of an ancient city. It always patrols the same route, watching for intruders.

Sigilyph, a god of the ancient world? Nifty.

Yamask: The soul of a person who was buried in a tomb transformed into a Pokemon. It retains its memories from before it died.

As dark as ever

Cofagrigus: It takes grave robbers who draw near, mistaking it for a real coffin, and locks them inside its body.

So would a female Cofagrigus be an iron maiden?

Carracosta: It would smack opponents with its developed forearms to knock them out, then chomp everything, even the shell and bones.

Reminds me of older Omastar and Kabutops entries from Johto. Those were cool.

Minccino: As way of greeting, Minccino clean each other thoroughly with their tails.

It's like dogs greeting each other, but more hygienic.

Gothita: It stares at everything for a long time. Sometimes it gets lost in observation and fails to notice an attack.

OH LOOK A PENNY

Gothitelle: It reads the future from the movement of the stars. A Gothitelle that found out its Trainer’s lifespan will scream and mourn.

Wow, it saw when you were going to die. That's morbid.

Frillish: It wraps prey in its bell-like arms, paralyzes it, and kills it by carrying it to the ocean floor, 8000 meters below.

The rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Jellicent: Its body is almost entirely salt water. It’s said that at the bottom of the ocean there’s a castle made from the ships sunk by Jellicent.

...see!?

Klang: It split into a mini gear and huge gear. If the mini gear is hurled as an attack but doesn’t return, it dies.

;_;

Elgyem: It’s rumored that a UFO crashed 50 years ago. It’s said to have come from the desert.

Okay, so a UFO crashed 50 years ago. And...?

Lampent: It sucks up souls to stoke its flame. It hangs around in hospitals waiting for people to die.

Just don't look out your window.

Axew: Its big fangs are still brittle and break often, but each time they grow back, they become harder and sturdier.
Fraxure: Since its fangs don’t grow back, when the battle ends it uses river stones and diligently polishes them.

So it loses the ability to make them grow back after evolution? Laaaaaaaaame

Cubchoo: Its snot is a barometer of its health. When it’s healthy the snot becomes sticky and the power of its Ice techniques also increases.

SNOT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA finally someone said it

Beartic: It likes cold, northern oceans. It freezes the breath that in blows from its mouth and makes a road to walk over the ocean.

cross the ocean like a boss

Druddigon: It runs around in the narrow tunnels dug by Excadrill and Onix, catching prey with its sharp claws.

What!? Onix isn't from Unova!!

Bisharp: A scary Pokemon that will take the injured, immobile prey that battled a group of Pawniard, and portion it out.

"Portion it out"? Ewwwwwwwwwwww...

Bouffalant: They charge with reckless abandon, and will send even a train flying if it enters their territory.

dah dah dah DAAAAAAAH

Vullaby: Its wings are small and it can’t fly yet. It protects its bottom with skeletons gathered by Mandibuzz.

snrk

Thundurus: It flies around in the sky while dropping thunder everywhere. It is despised for starting brushfires.

u mad

Reshiram: A legendary Pokemon that can burn the world to ash with flame. It will help a person construct a world of truth.
Zekrom: A legendary Pokemon that can fry the world to ash with lightning. It will help a person create a world of ideals.

So, you're going to destroy the entire world and create a new one? Who's going to repopulate the planet then, nubcake?

Meloetta: The melody that Meloetta plays delights the Pokemon around it and even has the power to make them sad.

Happy and sad simultaneously would be weird.

 

[Metalizard]

^Onix can be caught in B2W2 in various caves...

 

[Ysmir]

Gothielle's Dex Entry totally had me thinking "....Oh snap a Shinigami!" xD
All these dex entries are pretty snazzy.

 

[Gr8Ampharos]

Anyone mad that there was no mention of the original dragon though? If Kyurem's Entry states that its incomplete body must be patched with truth and ideals but it seems to me that it is being patched by only one or the other, I also thought that Ghestsis had a really stupid plan that would accomplish nothing, there goes another villain turning into a cliché one dimensional villain

 

[DNA]

Anyone mad that there was no mention of the original dragon though?

I've been mad about that for a long time now, actually.

 

[Metalizard]

Indeed, other than that brief and somewhat vague explanation given by Drayden, they didn't really add much to Kyurem's origin or the whole Tao Trio story in the game.

 

[PsychedelicBreakfast]

Wow. Gen. 5 Pokemon are vicious.

 

[King Piplup]

Litwick: Its flame frequently goes out, but when it sucks up the vital energy of people and Pokemon, the flame gleams.

Comforting....
