That little stitch above his eye is my favourite detail in any Pokémon artwork ever.
Use an everstone to pass down the nature?

I also love how his face profile is drawn in a way that makes it look like he's wearing a mask.

Cacturne. Thing's got that scarecrow look, except with good reason this time.

The true answer is Cactowl.

I know that feel, and it feels back at me too.

If Cactowl wasn't a sham, I'd say him, but alas.
I have to go with Cacturne because he's Dark-type, which is awesome, and he can learn both Focus Punch and Sucker Punch, making him a demon in the right hands.

What is Cactowl?
And Cacnea is the correct answer for the best cactus Pokemon.

This thing right hereit's Cactowl!
I finally got to finish up watching that video playthrough of Bazaru de Gozaru. Neat game with great music.

The ditto and metang didn't have adamant nature when breeding. Depending on the IVs of this newly hatched beldum I may put an everstone on that and continue breeding for decent IVs.
Probably the coolest fake pokemon concept ever.
I say Cacturne > Cacnea > Maractus. It's just a pokemon I forget exists in Unova..

I'm officially sad now that this doesn't exist.

True story, I spread the rumor on PokeJungle about the new Starters and everything. I was also behind the pre-BW "Reimu-Namakusu" rumor.
But I didn't draw Cactowl or have any idea about those scans, but it was weird how well they matched what I imagined them to look like when making it up. I spit out my drink when they first popped up haha.

It was my late April Fools joke.
I didn't think it'd spread, till someone made the scans lol.

I love how redundant that whole Pokey-mon segment of the NoA Direct happened to be. Don't get your hopes up around releases times, guys!
Well I don't know about the NoA thing, but NoE dropped the bomb and announced another new Pokemon game for this year.
Pokémon Typing Adventure
That's a localization of the DS game that came out in 2011. Should've been Pokemon Typing of the Dead.

Man, I've gotta raise some Grass-type Pokemon for when I battle Roxie. She's a Rock-type Gym Leader, right?
Poison I think.

No, but I've heard she likes to rock.

I never saw the appeal of Cactowl. Ya'll are acting like it was the second coming of Jesus.

I had a discussion about pokemon with my friend last night. He mention that we should got new types to celebrate 20 years anniversary in future.
He mention Light/Fairy and Wind. I thought it was interesting idea but I'm sure that GameFreak wouldn't waste their time to revamp the type charts in order to add few new types, right?
I pointed it out that Wind might have same resistance and weakness as Flying, and he mention that there are few pokemon should have wind element, comparing to flying.
For example, If I remembered correctly,
He think those pokemon should be labeled as wind type
Rotom's Fan form
Thundurus
Tornadus
Jumpluff
Rayquaza
Shaymin
Those pokemon should be labeled as fairy/light type
Clefairy
Jigglypuff
Mew
Jirachi
Victini
Serebii/Celebii
Manaphy
Just odd rambling about pokemon.

Psychic is basically Light and functions as such and of course Wind is covered mostly by Flying. Expanding the type list isn't really what they need so much as to make adjustments to them.
Ice needs to resist Dragon, Bug and Grass, making a lot of the bulky Ice types decent checks to a number of Pokemon. Poison should be Super Effective against Water, giving Pokemon a reason to carry STAB Poison moves.
If there was a new type created, it should centre around being a Dragon counter (offensively and defensively), because the type is incredibly unbalanced not only because of the base stats of most Dragons and their moves, but because only one type resist Dragon.

Poison should be Super Effective on Bug again, and maybe Fighting,
But NO at Ice resisting Grass. Grass already has its fair share of problems, why nerf it even more? :/

Man, I'd love to win this figure~
It's a figurine made by Camille Young, of Fangamer fame, and was commissioned to raise money for charity (specifically, ACT Today) and as such is currently being given away as a cut-throat auction at http://www.thespeedgamers.com as part of the end of their 1-week marathon for charity by trying to catch every Pokemon. I'd love to win it, but there's no way I'd have enough money to compete with what the winning bids are likely to be (the top bid is already at $250). Still, I thought I'd post this here for those that are interested and might want to try their hand or otherwise watch the stream and see what happens.
This is actually the last of five figurines that a TSG member commissioned from Camille to raise money for charity. The earlier four were a TF2-Spy Marill, a Starman Gengar, a Deku Scrub Treecko, and a Krogan Croagunk. If you want a look at those figurines, you can go back through Fangamer's tweets over the past few days here:

Edit: Bah, I'll just post the links to the tweets that have the pics:

Krogan Croagunk: https://twitter.com/Fangamer/status/215628046336663553
But yeah, this was something that was just too awesome not to share IMO and I haven't seen anything about the TSG's marathon posted in this thread over the last few days, so I just thought I'd share~
