Pok�mon of the Day
This is why we're not doing many Pok�mon Gold and Silver Pok�'s yet.
August 7, 2000
Mondays are special days indeed for Pok�men and women -- every Monday, IGNpocket will be sneaking into this country and (onto our web site) one of the brand new Pok�mons from the Japanese Silver and Gold Pok�mon games. You won't be able to catch these newest Pok�critters until the games' release in September, 2000, so this is your only chance to get your Pok�dose of Pok�mania for several months still. There are 100 new Pok�mons total, so keep coming back to IGNpocket to catch them all!
Once you're done with today's Pok�mon Profile, be sure to drop in on all the fun going on inside IGN's Pok�mon Board. Whether you're pro-Pok�mon or anti-Pok�mon, there's plenty to gab about. You may even see the Pok�mon of the Day guy trading barbs in there. Or not!
Now, on to today's Pok�mon of the Day:

I have nothing to say about Popokko. Not a word. It's a green Pok�mon with a spinny top on its head. That means it flies, right? And it has a Pok� Ball load full of attacks. One of them is Dandelion, which slows an enemy to almost a crawl. Neat.
...
So, um... Heard any good jokes lately? Ohh, I should also mention that I did the Letter's Section today? Yeah, it's kind of a new thing. Pok�Monday Letters, I call it. Just like the weekly feature that used to be here. And yep, it's coming back.
Popokko's green, by the way. I wasn't sure that you noticed.
Well, that's it for today. I was on a roll all week long, but you incessant fans keep calling for Silver and Gold Pok�mon. What am I supposed to do? I can't just make it up like I usually do. So, there you have it. Popokko. Lots of attacks. Green. Flies. Evolves from Hanekko (#187), evolves to Watakko (#189). That happens somewhere around levels 18 and 27, respectively.
And that's it.
Wait, Popokko... Popokko... Po-Po-Kko... Popo! It has the word Popo in its name! Do-Over!!!
NOTE: The name of this Pok�mon will likely change when the Silver and Gold Pok�mon Game Boy Color games are translated and brought over. Names of Pok�mons are plays on words (both in Japan and the US), so expect the names to be witty and charismatic translations of the Japanese names.
Where in the world is Slowbro Sandiego?
