Why?
Aren't games regionlocked?
Nintendo makes an universal version and then fucks it over with the regionlock?
>>337139190
Trailer clearly shows him popping in a cart.
>>337138028
That's an owl? I thought it was an earless koala.
>>337137910
I like how when things go well for Nintendo, it's not Nintendo that did it, it's the individual studio, then when something goes badly, it's not the studio (or company, in this regard), it's Nintendo

It was a modern aztec esque region by the looks of it.
B/W did the whole ancient-modern contrast better though, and HG/SS did the whole Japanese folklore much better as well, so I don't know what the fuck they are aiming for here. I'm disappointed to say the very least.

that's hilarious

>>337141109

Rowlet is alright I guess, but the other two are easily the worst starters of their type. The water one is one of the worst Poke-designs in the series, and while Litten is necessarily an awful design, it looks like the Route 2 rodent and not a starter.
Looking at it the water one is so terrible because of that mouth. How the fuck is that supposed to even work
>>337137910
Middle one has that Renge face
>>337141047
>As usual,
But Feraligatr/Swampert/Greninja though.
Looks like this will be the second gen where I immediately box and replace my starter. It looked like they were getting their shit together with gen 6's designs, but these are almost as bad as gen 5's.
>>337140842
I bought the JP version before the US one came out, like a year before iirc. I was young (relatively, Im 31 now) stupid and had the money. I played through the whole thing runeblind and still enjoyed every minute of it.
Ill never forget the look on the kid I was babysittings face when I showed him a new pokemon game he had never heard of.

What does it evolve into?
These starters are some of the best starters we've gotten since Gen IV desu. Might even be my favorite batch, we'll see when they evolve.
I love barn owls so Rowlet is my favorite right now but Litten and Popplio look really good too. Gen VI was cool conceptually but the designs were kinda meh and Gen V starters were a travesty so I'm glad they knocked this one of out of the park.
Gen I - Great
Gen II - Awful
Gen III - Decent
Gen IV - Great
Gen V - Awful
Gen VI - Decent
Gen VII - Great
There's a pattern.
Shit, I need the owl.

I know that I couldn't design 800 completely unique creatures either, but come on
>>337141451
This
Not a fan of the design, but I really can't hate Popplio.
>>337141442
Damn, you were a... freshman in high school? 8th grade? That's like the ultimate pretend to hate pokemon time of growing up. I was in 8th when it hit the US. My "brother" played it.
>>337141792
He knows he looks like shit so he just rolls with it.
Can't hate that.
>>337138059
I might switch 2 and 3, but otherwise looks perfectly reasonable.
I might not be a fan of Ruby/Sapphire, but I like all the starters and the designs of all their forms. I even enjoy all their megas.
>>337139698
And?
This guys design is decent and fots with the rest of the gen.
>>337141927
So like Oshawott in the anime?
>>337137910
Water >= Fire > Grass
Surprised Popplio has no retarded stripes or shit on it.
The water starter is by far the worst of the series.
>>337141593
Not him, but they're pretty underwhelming. The base forms are fine, but as they evolve they just become bigger and don't even get any additional typings. They also have really limited movepools (Feraligatr is okay).
>>337141509
Gen 2
Awful
Die like seriously die. It's the only good gen
>>337142116
It's been that way since Gen3

Why do nostalgiafags love Gen II so much?
It was short as fuck and added the least amount of Pokemon. Completely fucked up the scaling because they added Kanto. And everyone likes to pretend it was so awesome they added Kanto but it was a barebones neutered Kanto that people only remember fondly because again, nostalgia.
And the starters are absolutely dogshit. Totodile is the only good design and he becomes some tumored fatass in the end anyway losing the badass Caveman Crocodile concept that Croconaw had. Cyndaquil is straight up retarded and literally just gets longer with every evolution. Chikorita's a gay dinosaur.
>>337141509
>gen 4
>good
Somethign interesting I just saw, apparently the starters already have Ember/Water Gun/Vine Whip (though in this case it's Leafage). I don't think that was the case before.
>>337142539
Your shit opinion won't make their designs good m8aroo.
>>337137910
How do they actually continue to make worse and worse starters?
>>337142626
Rowlet is great, back off.
>>337139106
Wasn't there no region lock on X/Y? All games had the same language options and everything because it was a worldwide release.
>>337142308
MTG was huge. I never got into it, but it was a ton of fun to watch other people who were good.
>>337140507
These would have been the best starters since gen 1. I can only imagine how bad ass the 2nd and 3rd forms would be.

6 should be at the bottom. The stage 1 pokemon for XY were all terrible, 2 bobbleheads and an Oshawott recolor.the middle stages aren't much better for that matter, fatty fatty boombala, pedobait furry trash and 'literally no one remembered I existed' Frogadier. The Final evos were the only decent thing about XY starters and I still say the Male Delphox should have had a bitching wizards beard.
>>337142975faster
>>337142975

JUST
>>337142593
Literally the only reason anyone dislikes them is the rest of Gen IV is dogshit and Chimchar continued the Fire/Fighting.
But conceptually Gen IV starts were rock solid and they all turned out really fucking cool. Empoleon a steel emperor penguin? Torterra one of those universe turtles that carry the world on its back. And Infernape is Goku (the actualy Goku). All designed well and clear without any fucked up overdesigned lines and bullshit.
I will be the first to say FUCK Gen IV but those starters are the best in the series.
>>337142597
starters in both XY and ORAS had them at level 5
>>337137910
This game is going to do crazy well since it looks like an actual sequel with improved everything and some decent, not-too-divisive-or-complex starter designs.
Plus it has the most positive reception so far of anything I've seen announced this year. Other series and games this year have had substantial negative/shitpost-worthy qualities or concerns
but you can always count on 3 things in this world, death taxes and a new pokemon game
>>337142571
I didn't get excited about Gen II at all back then. Still think I and III had best design overall. I did like shiny versions like Red Gyarados and new types, especially Dark and liked Entei, Raikou and Suicune appearing randomly(never got them). Hated that lame ass evolution they did to Scyther and Hitmontop.
>>337139887

And learn your roman numeral anon. I said 4 was great.
>>337140231

for any idiots that still don't believe it's based on hawaii
>>337143679
>Snivy line is just dogshit
Nope.
>>337143563
You can still have simplicity while improving the designs.
Squirtle -> Blastoise
Turtwig -> Torterra
Piplup -> Empoleon
Mudkp -> Swampert
Chespin -> Chesnaught
etc. etc.
All very clear and simple animals that add to the design in natural ways that improve the concept rather than just making them bigger.
please let the fire and water starters end up with ridiculous secondary types.
fire/normal maybe, and water/fighting
>>337143713
Could still be based on Okinawa
2/3 are pretty good.
That water-thing is an abomination, though.
>>337144165
then why is the kid in the trailer clearly shown moving to an english-speaking country that drives on the right side of the road?
>>337141109

>>337141020

Just stop already. The guy made one bad comic and you're going to give him shit for a decade? Grow the fuck up.
Although I always whine about the starter Pokemon when they are first revealed and later I end up loving them, it's kinda hard to see that happened with the starters of Sun/Moon. Maybe I will change my mind later, who knows.
Putting that aside, the only starter Pokemon I found boring from previous generations are the ones from Diamond/Pearl.
