Finally, we have new information about Meltan's mysterious evolution and it's name is Melmetal! If you want to see the official video, the link is here (English) or here (Japanese). The official website link is here as well. Well, let's get into it!
First of all, I have to say this design is a big step up from Meltan. I like that some of Melmetal's hex nuts rotate on their own at certain times in the animation. It's not a bad evolution and proves that this mythical Pokémon line holds great potential for great power. Speaking of evolution, the video makes it seem like it's just Meltan merging like Wishiwashi merge to create their school form. If you look at the official page, however, it is just through 400 Meltan candies... in Pokémon GO. This bothers me because if you're like me and don't play Pokémon GO, you will apparently not be able to evolve your Meltan at all. It does not say if Meltan is exclusive to Pokémon GO so that gives me hope that it will be available in future generation games. However, you will still have to evolve it in Pokémon GO which is almost as annoying as trade evolutions. Still, maybe better ways will come available in the future. We can only hope and wait to see what the new generation holds.
Well, that's it for this week's post. If you enjoyed it - as short as it was - then I urge you to follow me so you don't miss out on future posts. What are your thoughts on Meltan and Melmetal? Please leave a comment below telling me your opinion. I look forward to reading it. Until next time, have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!

Meltan Has Another Form/Evolution?!
More info on Meltan has been released! This time it is in two videos - one is another Prof. Willow and Oak research update (watch here) and the other is a fun little animation clip of Meltan in the 'wild' (watch here). What have we learned? Let's get into it!
In the first video, we learn that a special box will lure wild Meltan when it is opened. It then will close and will only open after some time has passed. I want to assume this is referring to a future Pokémon GO event where players will get the box and be able to use it to catch Meltan. It makes sense but I do hope there will be non-Pokémon GO events for Meltan so that those who don't play Pokémon GO.
The second video, as I stated previously, is a cute little clip of Meltan interacting in the wild, or more specifically, a person's house. This is very adorable and endears Meltan to me even more. I still think the design is lazy, but the Pokémon is so cute that I will overlook it. The most interesting part of the clip is in the end where a new form for Meltan is hinted at. I had a feeling Meltan would have another form or an evolution. I can't wait to see what it looks like and what it can do. The possibilities are endless for this Pokémon!
Well, that does it for this week. I know it's not much but the videos were fairly short (less than 5 minutes long) so we'll work with what we've got for now. If you enjoyed this post, do consider following me so you won't miss out on future posts. And maybe leave a comment with your thoughts about this new information concerning Meltan. I look forward to seeing what others think of these latest developments. Well, until next time, have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!

A New Pokemon Appears - Meltan!
A new Pokémon has appeared in Pokémon GO or rather, Ditto has taken it's appearance. This new Pokémon is a new mythical named Meltan. Before I discuss it further, you can watch the intro video for this Pokémon in English, here or Japanese, here, if you haven't already. Okay, let's get started!
The only known information for this Pokémon can be found here, on the Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee and Pikachu website. The Hex Nut Pokémon is as strange as it sounds: a silver Ditto body with a large golden hex nut for a head (with the hole as it's eye) and a piece of broken red cable as it's tail. It's also a Steel type Pokémon. That being said, while you can use it in the upcoming games (which take place in Kanto), I highly doubt this is a Pokémon from Kanto. I suspect that this is a teaser for the next generation games which will come out next year.
What do I think of this newest Pokémon? This... this is the laziest Pokémon design that I have ever seen. A Hex Nut Pokémon and the best idea is to put a hex nut on a ditto's body and change the color?? I know I seem overly harsh but considering the over 700 unique and interesting Pokémon available... I don't see why they couldn't have come up with something a little more interesting. I mean, do a Google search of Steel type fakemon (fan-made Pokémon, if you didn't already know) and you will find tons of unique and interesting ideas.
However, I don't hate Meltan at all. I like it. It's cute and has the potential to be something greater... like Cosmog. Maybe I will learn to love it like Luvdisc or the Cyndaquil line. I guess what I am saying is that it all takes time. I can't wait to learn of more new Pokémon and see what generation 8 has to offer us. The upcoming year promises great potential and I couldn't be more excited. Until then, we will have to be patient and enjoy the upcoming games even though they aren't the core games we were hoping for. Until next time, then, and please, consider following me so you don't miss out on future posts or leaving a comment with your opinion of Meltan. I look forward to reading your thoughts and opinions. Have a good weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!
