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!!
