Default Tabunne Leaked, Blogger Post Reveals Demo Details, Basurao and Darumakka Pictured

More pictures from the Black and White demo buses have been leaked onto the internet. They have confirmed the existence of the rumored Pokemon, Tabunne. It is apparently a Normal-type, and is able to (though not limited to) learn the moves Growl, Doubleslap, and Helping Hand. Basurao, another Pokemon that was rumored, and pictured (albeit poorly) also also been pictured more clearly. It is a Water-type. Darumakka, the supposed pre-evolution of Hihidaruma, is also pictured more clearly. These pictures can all be found below:








In addition, a blogger was able to play a demo of the game at Haneda Airport, and posted details about it:

-In the demo, each playthrough randomly gives the player a team of three out of Tsutaaja, Pokabu, Mijumaru, Shikijika, and Zorua. The season, as well as which three Pokemon are usable varies each time.

-The demo takes place in and around the area of Sekka City.

-The objective of the demo was apparently to battle both Cheren and Bell, and then seek out Prof. Araragi.

-Even with Illusion activated, which causes Zorua to take the form of the second Pokemon in the party, the battle screen still says "What will Zorua do?". Even weaker attacks will dissolve the Illusion, and neither the type, nor the moves of the Pokemon Zorua transforms into are transferred to Zorua. It also knew Faint Attack and Fury Swipes in the demo.

-In the demo, Shikijika knew the moves Double Kick, Faint Attack, Leech Seed, and Take Down.

-Pokabu has a high HP stat and Attack stat, but low Defense. It`s signature attack, Nitro Charge, is a Physical Fire-type move with a base power of 50, 100% accuracy, and has a chance to raise the user`s speed.

-Mijumaru has a high Attack stat. The blogger also speculates that it`s final evolution may be a Water/Fighting-type. It`s signature move, Shell Blade is a Physical, Water-type move with a base power of 75, 95% accuracy, and a chance to lower the opponent`s Defense stat. The blogger described the animation for the move as "Using Crush Claw with a shell".

-The blogger didn`t manage to see Tsutaaja`s stats, but other people he spoke to who had also played the demo said it focuses on Special stats. It`s signature attack, Grass Mixer, is a Grass-type, Physical move with a base power of 65, 90% accuracy, and has a chance of lowering the opponent`s accuracy.

Is it just me, or does Basurao look like a Rabuta Berry with eyes and a red stripe? It's good to see that Darumakka has limbs--but it still looks like a potato. Tabunne looks like a bunny. Did we just get one of those last generation?
*shrugs*
Still lookin' great. I'm getting tired of waiting for the game to be released, though. I want it NAO.

Mijumaru, Water/Fighting you say?

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I had a bet with my friend, he said Mij would be Water/Ice but I said Water/Fighting.

I think I've found my water type.

Also, Darumakka is cute, looks much better in this photo than he did in the last one.

EDIT: Also, anyone else getting a Gremlin vibe from Tabunne? I hope it's like that.

That small fish looks like a pre-evolution of Caravanah.

-Tabunne seems like a normal bunny, so I have no comments to add about it.
-Basurao reminds me a lot of Caravanah, only it looks stranger.
-Darumakka is apparently not as much of a hot potato as it was before. It still looks weird, though.
-I'm glad to know that Pokabu is probably going to be a bulky, physical Fire Pokémon because we don't have so many of those.
-I'm really very happy to see that Mijamaru has the strongest signature move out of all the starters. And its final typing might be Water/Fighting? EPIC WIN!

DA POTATO HAS ARMS AND LEGS?
Seriously, the other Darumakka picture looked stupid. It still looks kinda dum, but its better. Basurao, the fish of the region. Looks like a pirate copy of Carvahna. Smugleafs new grass mixer move sounds good. And Tabunne, it looks like a girls excuse of a Buneary. My favourite new one is the PIRATE COPY! (I'ma call my Basurao Pirate)

Edit: No matter how good any other starter sounds, IM CHOOSING SMUGLEAF! For the following reasons:
I have NEVER chosen a fire type. No matter how cool it looks.
I only picked Totodile in Gen 2 because Chikorita, didn't really appeal to me.
I only picked Mudkip in Gen 3 because HE IS ADORABLE!

Well I am happy that Mijumaru is going to be a high attacker, And a water/fighting type sounds awesome.
Also, Darumakka Looks silly.

xD If Basurao is the Regions Magikarp it doesn't look like it'll only know Splash or evolve into some badass Dragon Serpent xD

Exactly.


The wild/foe Pokemon on the bottom picture (I didn't bother to learn the names) looks like a Jynx.

That's a Darumakka I think

I never thought Hihidaruma(sp?) would evolve from Darumakka

The fish Piranha Pokemon thing looks like Carvannha in a way
