First generation 5 Pokemon revealed

Plus data hacks, the Pichu download, crafty Valentine's Day gifts, and more

The Mews at Ten

Rock bottom?

Importers have stripped Heart Gold/Soul Silver, finding reference to a ‘Rock Capsule’ deep in the game data. Is it a future unlockable? Maybe there’s a new Pokemon in it…

Perfect catch

Kudos to thespeedgamers.com for catching all 493 Pokemon in 72 hours in aid of a charity. Succeeding with a last-minute Bayleef to Maganium evolution, they raised $18,000.

Our World of Pokemon launches at the same time as the new-look www.pokemon.com. Coincidence? Yes. Still, the new site celebrates its relaunch with a rerun of the first anime season.

Hey, big ears!

Own a US copy of D/P/P? In the US before February 14? Get thee to a Gamestop and download a Shiny Pichu. Trading Shiny Pichu into HG/SS will let you lure out Spiky-eared Pichu.

Ready to rumble

Got Pokemon Rumble but feel it needs a Shiny Bidoof with a Gutsy Trait and Superpower and Hyper attacks? You do!?! Enter ‘2424-3624’ into the password page for this very creature.

Christ compels you

Footage has resurfaced of a classic bit of scaremongering. Behold pastor Phil Arms convincing us “Pokemon teaches children to enter a world of witchcraft”.

New generation 5 Pokemon announced!

Get freaking excited! It’s known as Zoroa, a Dark-type pokemon, and evolves into Zoroark.

Nope, I figured out how they trap you in the world of Pokemon: OCD kids. Like me, my OCD kicks in and I NEED to catch 'em all!

If this series were dead, obviously they would have stopped making games, right? And if your telling the fanboys to stop playing their favorite game CH3BURASHKA, don't you think thats like telling a paid athlete to stop playing? Its just too good of a deal, ammirite?

I love Pokemon, and am a lover of all gens of Pokemon, but after seeing Zoroark yesterday on Serebii, and now here, I can't help but feel that I won't have that same amount of love for gen 5. I will need to see more Poke's. And Zoroark should be a Fighting/Dark type, it's kinda retarded he's not. Oh, and I hate his face.

@ wiigamer024 Same here. My interest in the series slowly went away with each new gen and now I don't even feel like playing the new games.

I am assuming the Octorok hat thing is a joke... That hat is clearly a Horsea... Don't judge me...

Im not a big Pokemon fan anymore, i mean, yeah i'll still play the games (as long as there the old GB/GBA games!). I pretty much stopped when the 4th Gen. came out. 1st Gen. "OMG OMG!! I LOVE POKEMON!!" 2nd Gen. "DUDE, THEY GOT MORE!!! :D" 3rd Gen. "Whoa, look at these. Cool right?" 4th Gen. "Oh look, more Pokemon..." 5th Gen. "Oh God, now theres just too many..."

If you're truly excited about gen5 Pokemon,you're a goddamned tool. They have been literally looking at random objects and adding a couple letters to its name to make pokemans. Red/Blue were great, and they have been hard at work, milking the sore, bruised teat that is the Pokemon franchise. If you've played a pokemon game already (and chances are you have), don't support the new games.

A little slow with the Zoroa/Zoroark information (serebii and bulbapedia beat you to the punch), but still, thank you GR. Now if only I could learn for certain if the series will "evolve" into something better (I've been hearing rumors).

I'm vaugly insulted you linked the octocork to ZeldaWiki.org instead of the much more user friendly Zelda.wikia.com. Other then that it was fairly interesting, although I was expecting a list comprised only of leaked pokemon

I think they have been getting unoriginal a bit after Gen. III. That new one looks like Ninetails, Lucario, and Mightyena all in one. That, and there are enough "Legendary" ones now to make an entire subcatergory...
