And I'm just very glad you decided to resuggest these

Now, excuse me while I go and abuse the topic to cram in the asteroid belt pokmon as well:

Name: Ceroid (Ceres [largest asteroid] + Asteroid)
Class: Shattered pokmon
HT: 1'00"
WT: 0.7 lbs.
Element: Rock | Wind
Desc: Its main body is a large, brown rock, which is surrounded by Ceres' symbol, for which I have an image:

. The symbol is white in color. Below the main body (including the 'plus' on the symbol) there is a swirl of tiny rocks. There are three tiny rocks found floating above the main rock. It could be nice to let the horizontal dash of the symbol look like a belt. On each side of this belt, a number of loose rocks, which make up its arms. Eyes/mouth up to the artist.
Dex:
CEROID is not capable of keeping
its body in one piece. Instead,
there are many pieces of its main
----------------------------------
body found floating around it.
However, this POKMON appears to
be able to control them in battle.
Ability: Rock Head
Evo Info:
Move List:
-- Leer
-- Tackle
10 Rock Throw
10 Whirlwind
20 Open Space
20 Calcify
30 Cosmic Power
30 Fossilize
40 Gravity Pull
40 Avalanche
50 Gaea Force

Oh, hey guys, there was this convention of the General Assembly of the IAU today in Prague:

"A proposed definition, to be submitted to a vote of the General Assembly of the IAU on 2006-08-24, defines a planet as a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (b) is in orbit around a star, and is neither a star nor a satellite of a planet[1]. This definition would expand the number of planets in our solar system to 12 by adding Ceres (currently classified as an asteroid), Charon (Pluto's largest moon), and UB313 (a recently-discovered Kuiper belt object larger than Pluto and nicknamed "Xena") ."

Heh, it'd be nice if Ceres could be a planet. I wouldn't mind seeing Charon as a double-planet with Pluto, but I do hope the IAU won't approve too much bodies as 'planets', seeing how there could be considered more to be planets... Who knows how many little icey rocks there might be out there beyond Pluto...

A Charon Pokmon would be quite interesting, considering that Charon is the boatman of the river Styx.

Strange how they didnt mention Xena, though.

I agree, if this new definition will be approved, we might try and come up with a Charon one.

They did mention Xena, though:
"This definition would expand the number of planets in our solar system to 12 by adding Ceres (currently classified as an asteroid), Charon (Pluto's largest moon), and UB313 (a recently-discovered Kuiper belt object larger than Pluto and nicknamed "Xena")."

Oops. I meant Sedna. Jeez. >>;;;

LOL. Okay.
I think Sedna was one of 12 other objects that needed more valuation, but could still be considered as planets. Three more asteroids (the three largest after Ceres) were among those 12 as well, if I remember correctly.

ShinEdit: Ah, here:
"Should the IAU's proposed definition be accepted, Ceres, Charon and 2003 UB313 will become planets. Twelve more objects have been placed on a list of candidate planets whose degree of roundness will be assessed by the union after further observation. These twelve consist of three asteroids and nine TNOs: Hygiea, Vesta, Pallas, Orcus, Ixion, Varuna, 2002 TX300, 2003 EL61, Quaoar, 2005 FY9, 2002 AW197 & Sedna.
Sedna, a body that lies beyond the Kuiper Belt and is often thought to be the only observed member of the Oort Cloud. Like Ceres before it, Sedna was widely touted as a planet when it was discovered in 2003, as it was the largest object found since Pluto. However, mainly due to its size still being smaller than Pluto's, it also did not achieve planetary status from the IAU."

OK, the International Astronomical Union has voted... and Pluto is not a planet any more! It's a dwarf planet, as well as Ceres and other round objects smaller than Mercury. There are only eight real planets in our solar system now. So, how will this affect these pokmon?

Meh, stupid decision in my opinion... Pluto deserves to be a planet I think, just by being one for so long. Although I am happy that they won't have to add planets each time they find a Kuiper Belt object as large as or larger than Pluto. But still, poor Pluto...

I don't think this needs to affect these pokmon, though. Ceroid was never intended to represent Ceres alone, but the entire asteroid belt as a 'failed' planet.
And as for Plutice, I think Pluto deserves enough credit to have a pokmon based on it, if nothing else, on historical grounds alone.

Plutice stays, of course. It's silly.

Yes I agree they waited too long to make this decision.

It's going to take a few generations for it to sink in, anyway..

Speaking of planets, a new planet has been found! Or, renamed, to be more accurate. "Xena" has been officially renamed to "Eris", and with its' new moon "Dysnomia", it is officially the tenth found planet, and the new ninth planet in the solar system.

If you're going to be making it into a pokmon, I suggest that it be part Dark, because the goddess that it was named for, Eris, is the goddess of chaos and destruction.

technically it's a dwarf planet the third one along with Pluto and an asteroid named 'Ceres'

Hm, what we could do, is come up with a pokmon that represents Eris and the Kuiper Belt objects - like how Ceroid represents Ceres and the other asteroids.

Well, there are Mysteroid, Dangeroid and Planetear, who live in the Kuiper Belt.

If I recall correctly, it was only Planetear who lived there - which would mean that the other live in the asteroid belt, and yet there's Ceroid

I'd say we unlink these from any other spacey pokmon (Solrock, Lunatone, Mysteroid's family, Starsper's family), since these really are somewhat special in a more semi-legendary role.
