Yet another new Pokémon…but this one should be familiar to those following the show.
November 12, 1999
Every day we'll pick a Pokémon to be IGNpocket's Pokémon of the Day. Maybe it'll be from the existing games, maybe it'll be from the future Pokémon Gold and Silver titles that will hit the shelves in Japan this month – you'll just have to stop back and find out.
Once you learn all about this Pokémon, head on over to our Contest page where you must answer one question about this Pokémon. Get the answer right, and you'll be entered to win the Pokémon prize of that day. But to win, you'll have to register – it's a painless process, and well worth the three minutes of your time.
Now, on to today's Pokémon of the Day:
Togepi (#175)
Pronunciation: TOH-GEH-PEE

Well, just so you can keep up with the new Pokémon that will be introduced to the Pokémon game and TV series, every Friday we'll feature one Pokémon that's not among the original 151. This week, Togepi takes the stage.
This Pokémon was introduced in the TV series, and has a role in the Pokémon Movie. It will also be featured in Pokémon Gold and Silver when the game is released in the US Fall 2000. As is, Togepi cannot physically fight as a baby, but it can use a random attack spell called Finger Shake. Togepi is not in the original Pokémon games (and isn't even in Pokémon Yellow), so don't bother looking. In Gold/Silver, players actually find Togepi fairly early on -- but it's in form of an egg that you will have to carry around for a while before it hatches.
Now take this information over to our Pokémon Contest page, get the answer right, and sit back -- you may win yourself a few cool Pokémon toys.
If you haven't registered, get your butt over to our Registration page and put all the pertinent information so you get in on the goods.
