it's time to make your decision
which one /v/?
>>337117571
>>337117571
Bowtie bird is the only choice.
how is this even a question?
Fire cat, no question
KAT
OWL
Jesus Christ, that water starter looks fucking atrocious, who designed that garbage?
Owl and cat look good; braindamage seal is just embarrassing.
That seal's gonna turn into a clown so no way.
>>337117571
the owl is the only one that looks like a starter
the cat is fine but it doesnt look like a starter
clown seal looks like cancer
BOWTIE
>>337117684
>bowtie
daaaaamn I didn't even notice that, his final evo is about to be Tuxedowl
>>337117571
I need to know their final forms first, I literally never evolved my kalos starter to its final form, I hate their designs.
the fucking owl, but I'm still waiting for final evo to avoid another Fenekin/Oshawott situation.
why do I have to choose when all of them will easily fit into my microwave
>Owlett
>OwLETT
WHEN
WILL
THEY
LEARN
Litten? More like Litter
>>337117571
They all look like shit
>Want to use the owl
>But it's a fucking grass type
>A grass/flying type
I really love all three but definitely Rowlet. I always pick Grass.
>>337117941
That's a bra
>>337118430
well there probably won't be that much ice in the region.
>>337117571
They aren't even trying anymore with the designs
>>337117571
The owl with the bra obviously. ..
>>337118430
>weak to rock, including sneaky pebbles
>weak to fire
>4x weak to the move every single water type learns, the type you're supposed to have a fucking advantage over
>weak to flying
Grass/flying was a fucking mistake.
>>337117571
I always choose water-types in my first playthroughs.
This won't be any different.
Thinking of making an ugmon team this time.
NAMING MINE PAGLIACCO
>>337117571

>>337117571
THE SEAL HE LOOKS RAD AS FUCK
Oh shit are we getting Grass/Flying?
>>337119206
looks like it will be Fire/normal
>>337118996
Owl are birds bra.
I usually go water, but if I go with that seal, it better drop the clown theme from its evolutions. Otherwise, I'll be going with dapper owl.
>>337118996
but owls ARE birds
>>337119342
>>337119206
Maybe Fire/Fairy? Fire Normal would be okay too, but I dont see it.
>>337118996
>Owls aren't birds
Alright ladies and gentlemen lets play SPOT THE NEWFAG!
Litten
My sister most likely to get the owl
>>337119364
>two whole gens with no good looking starters
How did I fucking survive.
>>337117571
Split between Roohoot and Jesteal.
Wanna go with Roohoot but Grass/Flying is a heavy burden.
I'd probably pick the bird just because flying and grass is a pretty decent typing.
>>337119480
Found him.
>>337118962
Like Delphox, the model is atrocious but the art's good
>>337119526
>grass/flying
>decent typing
>>337119526
It sounds like a terrible typing to me, except maybe if it gets Thick Fat.
>>337119504
Yeah I know, Gens 1 and 3 were shit looking.
It's between the cat and the owl they're going to go hard on the circus seal angle for the water starter and he's easily going to have the worst evos
>>337117571
the dual type of course
Also time to pick yer poorly designed legendary
>>337119364
>We have TWO (2) Bird grass starters and only one for fire and water
Fuck this is stupid.
>inb4 Chikorita is not a bird

>>337117571
I'm getting the hell cat. It reminds me of spice grinding in RuneScape.
>>337119701
It's gonna be Insomnia or Keen Eye and you know it.

>>337119769
I'm going with Edgebat
>>337119806
No they are not.
Is this a 150 new Pokémon gen or 70 were 20 of them will be pre evos and evos for old Pokémon gen?
>>337119504
Did you not like gen 6 or gen 4's starters? Turtwig and Piplup are totally fine, as are Froakie and Fennekin
>>337119850
those are good abilities in real games though. smogon clauses don't apply in the game itself. And the game sure fucking love to spam precision reducing attacks.
>>337117618
The way cooler option, hope the new game gets translated for us soon.
>>337119983
It better be a big gen since x and y was so small. THey can't use a "jump to 3D" as an excuse this time.
>>337117571
Fire cat because it's gonna grow up to be a Flaming Tiger (because of fire's chinese zodiac theme)
Speaking of which, what happened to grass's dinosaur based theme?
>>337119769
That bat is going to get SO MUCH porn
>>337119851
Nah he'll be a "loveable" dope aka the frumpy one for weird special kids. The cat will have the cool for boys final evo and the owl will have the cute/elegant for girls evo
Im going with the seal, water is my tradition

The last time I trusted a grass starter to be good, it had the worst evolutions in the whole starter line. I'm going with Litten.

>he turns into a Water/Ghost Jester
>>337120229
>pve

wew lad.
You seem to forgot that this is an island map, where water type will be everywhere.
>>337120416
shaco?
>>337119206
Seeing as it's looking like this will be the first time I prefer a fire starter over both grass and water starters in a region, and I literally never use fighting types because I hate most of them, I am okay with that.
>no reptile
Yeah I'm going with the cat then.
I've started water in every gen, I ain't stopping now. The real question is sun or moon?
>>337119701
>Thick fat
>>337119701
>>337119850
>implying it won't get overgrow just to piss you off
Well if it survives an ice attack, it'll have a boosted grass attack before it faints...
>>337119432
I was thinking fire/dark
>>337120401
Chespin was nothing but a fluke
Sun and Moon is gonna make grass starters great again!
>>337120401
>the worst
You mean the best.At least Chesnaught, anyway
>>337120416
Probably Water/Poison
>>337119851
I fucking doubt it.
That shit just screams fairy. It's gonna be a walrus with a huge nose and makeup.
>>337120401
Except Chesnaught was the literal only good thing about that entire line. Chespin and Fatty are friggin terrible.
>>337117571
>Clown seal
No. I will pick the fire cat just so I can stomp its face in every rival encounter.
>>337120553
It does look like him
I don't play LOL but that fucker have a cool design, i also love that fiddlesticks dude
Scarecrow pokemon when?
>>337117571
Absolutely disgusting.
As a guy from Quebec, I have to take the Seal.

Feels whatever man I'll enjoy my fire cat
>>337117571
Holy shit these designs are fucking abysmal.
There is some appeal in Litten, but its literally just a black cat with red shapes plastered onto it.
The water type is painful to look at, it's such a lazy design, it's just a cartoony seal with a thing around its neck and a big red nose, it looks so unbelievably generic it's like something from clipart.
The owl just makes me a chuckle.
These look like contest entries made by little kids.
>>337117571
Cat would be great with out the whiskers
Predictions on secondary types outside of the obvious Grass/Flying?
Eh, I'll probably go with the hell cat.
>>337121171
This
>>337121413
Yeah, goofy looking seals are bad.
The fire cat will get a lot of porn
Like, holy fuck, there will be a lot of porn

>>337121413
>but its literally just a black cat with red shapes plastered onto it.
But "it's just an oddly colored animal" was what everyone loved about gen 1.
>>337121591
Unless it becomes bipedal, I doubt it.
Then again we've literally never had a fire starter that was quadruped at the end.
>>337121618
No
>>337119364
>grass gets all kinds of animals that have nothing to do with grass
>fire gets all kinds of animals that have nothing to do with fire
>water gets turtle, crocodile, mud fish, penguin, otter, frog and sea lion
>>337121481
Water/Fairy
Fire/Dark
Grass/Ground
>>337121413
The sea lion's clearly got a circus motif going on, with the clown frills and nose and making big bubble balls it jumps on.
>>337121614
Have they shown the legendaries yet?
I'm hoping the starters eill have great final forms.
>>337121708
Dragons
Will of Fire
Fire Fox/Ninetails
BBQ
Most grass types are amphibians /reptiles.
Mossy turtles and the Earth turtle are common things.
>>337121708
To be fair there aren't really many things in nature that are related to fire
>>337121769
>Water/Fairy starter
Make it happen.
I'm just curious why there is no Sloth with the Grass type so far. Sloths literally grow moss on their back for camouflage and they spend 99% of their lives in trees or water. It's an obvious Grass/Water type.
>>337121675
too bad its evo are shit.
>>337121924
>Kendo Kitty
You're into something good here buddy
>>337117684

>>337122207
Well shit, this pic makes me kinda like the owl. I need evolutions dammit.
Grass type DA BES as usual
>>337122285
Well since it's grass typed, I wonder what it will look like.
>>337119364

I went with fire last time, so I think I'll go with water this time.

>Grass/Flying combo
>Dark/Fire combo

Bicentennial reminder that the seal looks clearly like he hangs out with Mr. Mime and must be psychic. Nigga knows what horn to honk next.
I'm due for a water starter so I guess I'm picking Popplio. It's my least favorite though so I'm banking on it getting a great final evo like Oshawott did.
I like the other two a lot though.
>>337122962
That's not a crab.Or a lobster
That's a Pistol Shrimp. It shoot air bubbles at a speed so high that it raise to the temperature of the surface of the sun.
You dont fuck with him.
We already got Darkrai and Cresselia for representing the moon, so this new Moon legendary feels a little redundant.

What is? Humans went through the Stone age, then endured the Ice age with the fire and tools they learned, and then went to the bronze/iron age

>>337123443

>>337123776
>>337123428
The ice age was the period where we discovered the art of creating tools and weapons out of ice that was magically infused to not melt.
The Japanese were famous for their ice katanas, which had to be frozen over a thousand times because of the quality of the ice there
>>337119806

Bulbasaur is a frog/toad not an actual dinosaur.

>>337124238
I like all three. But the clown the most.
owl will turn into a slow fat owl with high hp just asking to be ice beamed
cat will turn into another fast fire type with high special attack as if we needed more of those.
seal will turn into a samurott without a horn while retaining how shitty samurott is.

>picking the edgy cat or the retarded clown seal over the classy owlet
shiggy diggy desu
>>337117571

>>337124389
>[ANGRILY FIXES GRASS-TIE] Listen here u little shit
>>337124310
saur mean Lizard in Latin.
"Bulbasaur appears to be based primarily on some form of reptile, specifically mammal-like reptiles known as Dicynodonts from the Permian period. Along with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Bulbasaur appears to have more in common with mammals than amphibians such as frogs and toads, which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Bulbasaur does. Alternatively, Bulbasaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, blotch-patterned skin, and quadraped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the common toad. Since Bulbasaur's "ears" do not in fact have hollows, they may actually be similar to the glands present behind the eyes of many species of frogs and toads.
The bulb on its back may resemble that of a lily or onion."
>>337124131

>YFW the owl isn't Grass/Flying
>YFW it becomes Grass/Psychic because he's the ring leader of the circus starters
Owl looks the coolest but who knows what their final forms will look like
I tend to pick Fire types starters though since you generally less to choose from compared to the options you have with new Grass or Water types.
>>337117571
If i could redesign these
hooty won't have the clitched nerd's bowtie
sealy wont have the obvious clown's ruffle
catty won't have the edgy red and black socks and red slashes on head. would make the marks more akin to a tabby instead of this lazy mess.
Litten.
First time ever that I don't pick the water starter, all thanks to someone at GF having a massive boner over fucking seals.
>>337124835
As in, when he's in his final form?
Because the trailer already showed that he's going to be Grass/Flying
>>337124936
It's Japan, the people all adore seals. aquatic puppies.
If I name my Litten 'Zippocat' does that make me an edgelord
>>337117571
>fire cat
Goddamn it Game Freak. Just when I think I've gotten away from your games you pull shit like this.
>>337125017

Popplio
>>337124841
>Fire type choices in Gen 4 were just Infernape, Rapidash, and Magmortar
>only Infernape was worth a shit
>>337125013
Fucking FUCK.
Their body shape is awkward and not conducive to good fucking creature design. Especially not land-based ones.
>>337124876
It's not a nerd's bowtie it's a gentlemen's bowtie. That's why it has the long tail feather to look like tail coat.
The seal will have a clown theme to it so it has the neck ruffles.
>TFW /vp/ designed a better water starter than Gamefreak
JUST
Also the tan dude isn't our rival because he chose the weaker starter. I wonder who are rival will be
>>337117571
Potatowl is pretty cute.
Fire Cat is alright.
Not sure if I'd pick Clown Seal unless the later forms look better
>>337125013
>>337125154
Who wears bowties in 2016? Bill Nye, and more relevant, Blathers the owl. Owls are symbolic bookworms.
as for the circus seal, it just needs the nose. it's red and round.
>>337119364
>water types are all inspired by real aquatic animals
>fire and grass types are not
This annoys me.
Just have a water type jaguar starter or something.
>>337125090
Enjoy your stay at /v/ summerfriend
>>337125109
Yeah that's the kind of shit I like to avoid
That said Gen 5 Fire had better choices than Gen 5 Water
>>337125284
Things don't live in fire and grass/bug is dangerous to the balance.
>>337119806
Chikorita is a pear.
>>337117571
the first gen where the water pokemon looks the worst
this saddens me

>>337125757
Oshawott was cute.
Samurott was wtf
>>337125813

It absolutely is not, the only thing worse would have been to pair Grass with Psychic
Nobody wants to pick water type in this generation
>>337125778

well since owls are "brainy" it's gonna be a psychic.
Owl confirmed shit.
>>337117571
Neither, I'm staying with Soul Silver on my smartphone until Go comes out, but the bird looks decent.
>>337125984
Fun fact. If a Pokemon had all types it would still be weak to rocks.

>>337117571
I can't defend this any more
What the actual fuck am I looking at? This isn't pokemon at all
>>337126130

I'll take the Owl.
>>337119769
Bat looks like complete shit.
I'll go with Gregar, I was going to pick Sun anyways.
>>337117571
Cat
I always pick fire, but the fact it's a kitty seals the deal. Can't wait to see all their evolutions, though.
>>337126346
You don't understand, only the first 37 Pokemon count, everything else is overdesigned but also somehow simultaneously oversimplified.
>>337121519
Jesus, I forgot all about Seel/Dewgong.
On the scale from 1 to 10, how mad would you be if cat ends up fire/fighting?
>>337117571
>Mark of Brimstone on the cat's face
>>337123714
What would we be weak/strong against?
>new designs are irredeemable fucking garbage

>>337126628
The cat has Kendo mask facial markings. It won't be complete bullshit this time around.
>>337126651
Except that isn't the same mark.
>>337121834
Unless you count the animals native to warmer climates.
>>337126013
I do.
>>337126130
It's already Grass/Flying.
>>337126687
Neutral to everything, but very low BST
>>337121072
Cacturne.
>>337126651
>the eyes are the circles
holy shit, it's actually there
>>337126767
the cat's eyes is what fills the blank.
>>337126770
Even then. Unless you count Volvanos insects and birds, there is not a lot of fire related things.
>>337126651
so pokemon will have a literal demon this time?
>>337126767
Pretty sure that it is the same symbol, and seeing that it's a fire type also, it's a pretty clever design.
>>337126754
>there are too many fire/fighting starters
>the solution is to make it more obvious that its gonna evolve to be fire/fighting
