Poltchageist Revealed: A Spooky Sighting from The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero!
Meet Poltchageist, a newly discovered Pokémon from the land of Kitakami, in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for the Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet games 🍵
it’s actually quite adorable… besides its horrific lore
That pretty much sums up Pokémon as a whole.
@IAmMissingnoMasterespecially ghost pokemon like…..AHEM a certain balloon
I mean, Greavard literally killed a person recording it.
Okay, but the music in this is BEAUTIFUL. 🥰
I love that this isn’t just a haunted little tea caddy. Its powers to repair broken objects with the matcha powder is based off of Kintsugi.
What is Kintsugi just for context?
And it’s based on a Tsukumogami, or “object ghost”.
@Hunter Bennett the art of repairing broken items (most notably pottery/porcelain like teacups + plates) using gold.
Who??
It’s official. We can now have a full team of fully evolved grass ghost types (ignoring the issue of region locked mons). Haunted forest team is a go!
Yes, but Poltchageist is the stage of Sinistea so the evolution could be revealed later.
@Peter (realar 2.0) that seems unlikely polteageist/poltchageist
@marlon knockaert Uh, they just revealed on the site it’s a variant of Sinistea.
Trevenant, the brumble thing, the anchor and that tea, what i’m missing?
I hope we will get a Chimecho evolution. It’s so fitting for the Japanese festival theme of the DLC. And Chimecho deserves an evolution 🎐
Oh, it does. It’s adorable but so WEAK.
Chimechink
Except so far, the new non-legendary Pokemon have been related to or are evolutions of Galar-originated Pokemon so far.
Let’s hope we can introduce the sound type if that happens.
@Angel Miranda What’s with people wanting a Sound-type to even be a thing? For fan-made stuff reasons?
For a spooky Pokémon it’s very friendly and well mannered.
i mean that makes sense given the backstory, just don’t piss it off
Hm.
It seems like it will vibe with you unless you ask it for matcha flavored ice cream. I can respect that since I can be like that sometimes when it comes to tea as well.
Pokemon inspires me.. My parents said if i get 50K followers They’d buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging…
Surprised at all the love Galar is getting from the devs. Since its a recent gen, i thought it would take 2-3 gens for it to receive some attention.
Yeah.
Thought the same when they revealed Dipplin and Archuladon. Either they were scrapped from sw/sh or they just got new ideas a bit later on.
@mega meme dipplin felt lazy for me mostly because its just applin covered in syrup (but i might change my mind), arcuhladon absolutely was needed for the cool dragon, and poltchageist is going to be interesting.
Galar remakes confirmed
Makes sense to me keep working new ideas in instead of always focusing on the old games and what to bring back.
I wonder if it’s a convergent species or a split evolution to Sinistea
Convergent, look at the name. It’s slightly different.
@guffthebir72 why can’t it be a new evolution for Sinistea?
Evolutions often have slightly different names too so I’m not sure your point. (Mr. Rime, Cursola, Dudunsparce, etc)
It’s a convergent evolution. Now we just need to know if it evolves?
Convergent makes a lot more sense imo, I don’t see how tea can evolve into matcha
It’s cool we’re getting more than just two new pokemon besides the legendaries of course
Sure is.
Is it cool when it’s cut content to be sold seperately? Why are you bootlicking anti-consumerism?
@ioasis yumichis it confirmed to be cut content or are you just assuming that?
@ioasisyumich What did pokemon ever do to you
@yuG modnaRfr they’re salty bro, maybe they got too close to a teacup
Great design and awesome music, also impressive reveal, just for a Pokémon.
Vase with eyes that could have been done by a 5 year old.
Pokemon fan: Great design.
It’s cute but I don’t see anything great in his design
EDIT: I know that pokemon has been getting lazy designs since the first games. You don’t need to say it 1000 times. You guys are funny. LOL
@ZER0
@ZER0 I’m not a Pokemon fan, I dislike many of the past entries since the 5th gen and most of the 8th and 9th gen designs 😅
But this one is cute. It’s nothing too original as it’s a convergent, but I like the style and the tale.
@ZER0it’s not meant to be some complicated, god-tier design. It’s good because it’s cute and simple
@ZER0yah but put those eyes on a pokeball and suddenly its briliant and is beloved by many.
Get real. Poltchageast design is great.
I always love seeing new regional forms or divergent evolutions like this. Hoping we can see some love for Kalos in the DLC.
