New Pokemon
Thursday, September 27, 2007

At the beginning of the old Pokemon video games, your character pays a visit to Professor Oak. Being the nice old retired Pokemon Trainer that he is, he gives you your very first Pokemon. After many years as a Pokemon trainer himself, Professor Oak now spends his days messing around with his Pokedex, so it's only fitting that he gives away his last few Pokemon. You get one and one goes to your rival.
The exciting part is that now in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl you get to choose from three New Pokemon. The old games (Red, Blue, Green, FireRed and LeafGreen) had Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur. I guess they felt that New Pokemon trainers needed some new choices so now you can choose from Chimchar, Piplup or Turtwig.
Chimchar is a fire type Pokemon that looks like a monkey, Piplup is a water type Pokemon that looks like a penguin and Turtwig is a plant type Pokemon that looks like a turtle.
In the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl cartoon, Dawn got a Piplup from Professor Rohan and Ash eventually found a wild Turtwig. If you think you'll miss Squirtle and the gang, give these new Pokemon a chance. They'll definitely grow on you.
