This thread, in case the thread title was unclear, is for humor only and not intended to be in any way serious. With that said...

As everyone knows, the WKR bosses so closely resemble certain Pokémon that each one has received a code name from Pokémon fans (such as myself). Achuka often gets named after one of the Pokémon from the Charmander line (normally Charizard, despite not having wings), Tchakka is similar to Sharkpeedo, Colkhab is similar to Beedrill, Yumcax is similar to Sudowoodo, Hurkan is similar to Zapdos, and Kumhau is similar to Sucuine.

So which Pokémon do you think the next WKR boss resemble if any? Here is my top five:

Pikachu: Even if you never played Pokémon in your life and only ever heard of it, then chances are you're at least familiar with Pikachu the Electric Mouse Pokémon. It is without a doubt the most recognizable and famous Pokémon in the entire series. It is also one of the weakest Pokémon ever conceived of, however if Square were to make a WKR boss resembling it they would probably make it unreasonably tough but still easier to beat than Yumcax.

Blastoise: Like Charizard, Blastoise is the final form of a starter Pokémon and is well known because it was the most widely chosen Pokémon in Blue (probably because it was on the box art and game cartridge).

Mewtwo: A legendary Pokémon created by humans, it is still considered the most powerful and widely recognized legendary Pokémon in the series. It is so strong, in fact, that it would make a perfect candidate for a WKR boss.

Hoen: Another legendary Pokémon, from Gold/Silver/Crystal, it is widely recognizable more for the animé where it appeared (very briefly) in the first aired episode years before the game.

Eevee: Another very recognizable Pokémon Eevee evolves into six or seven different forms depending on the situations, which is more than any other Pokémon in the series. It would make for an interesting WKR battle if the Boss could alter elements and looks at will during the fight, not to mention more difficult. However, with the amount of work that would entail implementing such a boss it would be unlikely.

Well, with 718 current known pokemon, idk if anything created could be different enough to escape any similarity, lol. We know the first 6 naakuals are of the 6 elements baring light and dark. So we can assume the 7th will be dark, light, or a combination of the 2 (demonic dragon or something?). I've seen the name Hades been thrown around a few times as well. The last naakual is supposedly the big bad guy of the expansion, so chances are it'll have human-esque traits and the ability to talk. So maybe mewtwo isn't far off, since he can communicate in human language via telepathy.

I hope your prediction is true.

My guess is that the final one will be the dragon at the bottom.

That sadly seems to be the case for many of the endgame content Square has done so far.

For the continent where dragoons originated, i am sorely disappointed at the lack of dragons in this expansion. Ever since that one npc that talks about drg's homeland being the ulbukan continent i've been wanting to see it, but there was nothing to further the story, at least yet.

Actually.... Little known fact....
But the Kanji (and also the word) for "dinosaur" is the same word as the Japanese word for "dragon"...
....
So we already HAVE a "dragon" Nakuaal...
LOL

Tojil/Achuka is your dragon.
;p


(My bet on the Concept art for the 7th Nakuaal is either the snake at the top, or the snakey-dragony thing at the top left under the "heart" looking symbol.... Having it be a snake or a winged snake (dragon) would fit in with the Mayan/Inca/Olmec/Aztec inspiration that Adoulin is drawing from.)

It's Ho-oh, not Hoen.
