Pokemon Sun/Moon – Kiteruguma and Mimikkyu revealed
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 73 Comments
Update 2: Bumped to the top. Added in a couple more scans.
Update: Correction – Mimitsukiyu’s name is actually Mimikkyu.
A pair of new Pokemon have been revealed in this month’s issue of CoroCoro.
First up is Kiteruguma, a Normal/Fighting creature with Fluffy and Klutz abilities. We also have a look at the Ghost/Fairy Pokemon Mimitsukiyu. This one has the ability called Disguise.
CoroCoro says that those in Alola are scared of Kiteruguma to the point of having warning signs about it. Because of its strength, it can break anything in two. It likes to hug its trainers, though raising one puts your life in danger.
Meanwhile, Mimitsukiyu hates sunlight and prefers dark places. The cloth covering its body is rumored to be a strategy to avoid the sun. If someone tries to remove the cloth, it’s said they’ll become afflicted with an illness.

Etrian Odyssey V DLC announced
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
The next entry in the Etrian Odyssey series will be released in Japan next month, on August 4th – ahead of its release, Atlus already revealed some of their DLC plans for Etrian Odyssey V via the latest issue of Famitsu (thanks to Gematsu for the translation). Here’s what you’ll be able to buy starting August 4th (each individual piece of DLC costs 300 yen):
- New Adventurer 1 – makes your character look like a boy wearing a school uniform
- New Adventurer 2 – makes your character look like a girl wearing a sailor-style school uniform
- New Adventurer 3 – makes your character look like a girl wearing a sweater
- New Adventurer 4 – makes your character look like a Paladin from Etrian Odyssey I
- New Adventurer 5 – makes your character look like a Medic from Etrian Odyssey I
- Adventurer Training Plan – gives you access to a quest that makes it easier to level your characters
- Adventurer Good Luck Plan – gives you access to a quest that gives you lots of gold as a reward
Two more pieces of DLC are also currently planned, but are not yet dated: “New Adventurer 6” (currently unknown how this will change your character’s appearance) and FM Synthesis (800 yen), which allows you to switch to FM Synthesis for the game’s background music and back at any time.
Etrian Odyssey V (along with its DLC, obviously) has not yet been announced for a Western release, though given that every previous title in the series has made it out of Japan, that announcement should only be a matter of time.
