Best starters in a while actually.
Who /owl/ here?
>>337156209
The owl is ok
>>337156585
I'm naming mine Drake
Fuck you man the owl is great
I bet that means its evolutions will look completely retarded though
The Seal is the only bad one and the owl is one of the best.
The owl is a potato
>>337156209
>These are the worst starters yet
About the same level as Gen V.
>in before Gen V fags
>>337156209

Then they evolved
I'm passing judgment until I see the stage 3 evolutions
Yeah but,
Hawaii.

The worst ones are Gen 5 and 6 though.

I'm picking fire cat every game just so I can stomp it's face in.
I fucking hate circus and circus themed garbage.
>>337156209
what the fuck is the cat supposed to be?
The Owl has the gentle style going on
The seal is a clown which makes sense
and the cat is... eggman?
>>337156209
I dont give a fuck as long as they have one good one

>>337158312
The cat is a cat.
>>337156209
>owl has a bow tie
I'm sold.
>>337156209
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
Popplio better become a juggalo elephant seal.
I love how you can see the frames drop even in the trailer. Still, looks more interesting than gen 6.
>>337156209
fuck off with your edge-lord fur-bait bull shit.
>>337156209
looks fine to me.
dat cat m8.
>>337156209
The seal is dumb and the cat looks like it belongs in Youkai watch, but that owl is one of the best looking starters period.
>>337158181
You're gonna have fun when you realize the owl is a circus ringmaster, the cat is a firejumping tiger, and the seal is a juggler/clown
Haven't been too interested in Pokemon starters, but these ones look pretty good to the point where I have a hard time choosing. I'll wait until the evolve forms.
>>337158679
Looks like every other catmon.
Is that an owl with a bow? holy cow that's cute.
>>337159070
It's a bra.
>>337158793
Oh son of a bitch.
>>337158937
Still looks fine.
Also the owl is cute. CUTE!
>>337159119
welp.
>>337156209
I love the Owl. Much better than the one those retards on /vp/ were going apeshit over. Will pick that, get it to its final evoand probably put it in the PC
>>337156981
It'll be a Dark Fire I'm assuming. Its colors are super ugly.
>>337159472
If the cat was a dark orange would have looked fine
>>337159529
Agreed. I don't know why on earth they put so much black in a starter. Just doesn't fit...
game still looks like shit
probably not even in 3d still
>>337157816
not a starter
they're pretty cool and owl is top fucking tier
get better taste
>>337159918
It will be on the New 3DS.
Unless they optimized the shit out of the game, which i highly doubt.
>>337156209
See you next Gen
>>337156585
Naming the little potato Blathers.
>>337159529
What do you want? Garfield?
I think it looks fine, the next evolutions will justify it
>>337156209
Owl is the best starter in years desu
>>337160370
Cats are orange.
Fire pokemon can be orange.
>>337159472
>>337159529
if they even made the eyes white it would be better. the problem is the three dark colors clashing. orange would've been ideal though. if you look at a lineup of all the fire starters the cat clearly doesn't fit in.
The Owl is pretty cute.
>>337158519
I kek'd.
>>337156209
>that color scheme on the grass starter
its shit
>>337156209
I love the owl.
I haven't loved a starter since gen 2
>>337157816
I hope the game has wild eggsegutors and tropius and ludicolos to fit the mood.
I'm choosing the seal just because I like the name. Popplio is cute sounding.
>>337158519
elephant seal could work, since elephants are also staple of circus shows.
>>337156312
>clown seal
>a cat
>another owl
what are you 12?
Gonna to choose the owl
>>337160869
10/10
I'm seriously fucking mad
What the fuck Game Freak, you fucking pieces of shit
This is seriously the last strawThis is the first generation ever that the water starter is not the best starter. I don't know if I should even pick it anymore because it is the least appealing looking of the three. Gamefreak is a fucking piece of shit
I wasn't sure about the owl at first, but it looks great in motion. However, I have the sinking feeling that it's evolved form is going to look hideous and/or it will have zero coverage making it a pain to use in game.
>>337157032
>Then they evolved
Agree for Tepig
Disagree with Oshawott
Snivy remains somewhat consistent in quality.
Guess I'm going Fire this gen unless the owl's evos are cool as fuck.
>>337160948
I'm really happy this exists.
>>337161076
>Oshawott doesn't exist
And at first I thought that the final evolution would redeem him.
>tfw the cats final evo is more sexy anthro furbait just like Braixen
all aboard the jackoff train!
>>337158519
face codpiece
Whats so great about them? They're boring as shit with dumb name.s
>>337156785
The final evolution for the owl could be really awesome
>>337156209
Bird is best design, worst fucking types
>tfw im gonna pick it anyway
Trying to make my mind up about the water starter. I think it will be shaped by its evolutions. At the moment, though, I'm indifferent.
The cat is pretty ugly, but may be redeemed by its evolutions.
The grass bird is adorable, and it's the first time I'm tempted to start my first playthrough with a non-water starter.
>>337160162
Is that confirmed? They'd probably lose a lot of sales if it was N3DS exclusive
>>337156209
Funny how this happens every single time. You shits will never be happy no matter what they do next. Makes me smile.
>>337160948
>>337161776
the fanart makes litten look a lot better than the official art. they make it a better shape and better colors
>bobbleheads again
>no well defined extremities again
I still like the games but THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
ANATOMY MATTERS
EVEN IN A CARTOONISH WORLD
>>337162016
it's not N3DS exclusive
>tfw after all the fake leaks with circus-y seals I actually liked, Popplio is everything I wanted in the water starter and more
>>337162016
you tell me
I didn't like the Water one at first, but I have to say since it's reveal I've really warmed to it.
Maybe because it see,s the underdog right now though, like this Gen's Oshawott or Froakie.
>>337161076
LOL? oshawott is garbage and Swampert isn't as good as sceptile
I gotta say I really like the designs but something about them doesn't really feel like starter Pokemon to me. Rowlet is the closest but just barely feels more like the first route bird. Hopefully the evolutions feel more in line with other starters. Still can't pick which one I want though.
>>337162068
It ain't chibi this time.
>>337157951
>what is Shaymin-Sky
>>337162182
>Froakie.
nice meme
>>337156209
They look terrible, but I suspect that's mostly due to the shitty 3D models.
>>337161076
Please let me remind you this is a game for children. That doesn't excuse shit design, but these designs are cute in their own right. I'm really not sure what you want out of pokemon starters. I'm interested to hear what you would like out of the starters, and if their looks upset you this much, game freaks sure as hell doesn't need you to turn profit so ya know... no one is forcing you to play it. and besides, the series is -full- of far worse fur-bait edge lords.
>>337162314
It was hardly Chespin levels of adoration.
>>337162318
The models look exactly the same as the official artwork.
>>337158312
The ultimate life form
>>337162383
Poor Oshawott clone
The grass and fire type look dope and the water type is ok. It all matters about the final evo though
>>337162359It was a joke. Did you not read the spoiler? I was pretending to be mad at the designs but instead it was something stupid
>>337156209
I like em, then againi like every starter except gen 3
>>337156209
Pokemon is mediocre even by JRPG standards, and has always been. It always blows my mind that these shitty games that have barely changed in formula since 1996 became so popular.
Pokemon fans actually believe a reptile with a flower on its back is a better design than any of the 3 in OP's pic. Think about how retarded that is.
The owl is too fucking cute i can't handle it
>>337162715
A simple game is more popular than a complex game, how can that be?
>>337156981
The color scheme doesn't match the other fire starters at all. Usually, they have a color scheme almost entirely of warm colors, while this little shit is mostly black with red highlights. He should be more of a red-orange with black stripes.
>>337162715
Pokemon is fun because of the pokemon
The cat and seal are Digimon tier
Owl is GOAT starter tho
For starters
Gen 3>Gen 1>Gen 4>Gen 7(will change depending on evolution obviously)>Gen 6=Gen 2>>>>>>Gen 5
>>337156209
>Gamefreak is creatively bankrupt
Oh yes, because the 1st gen was just overflowing with creativity.
>>337162261

no just autistic
>>337163112

>we will never have starters as good as Gen 3 and 4 again
>>337156209
These can't be real, fuck off with fake bullshit.
>>337163340
Those are the two worst gens of starters aside from Gen V.
>>337157951
Just like Blaziken was Fire/Flying?
>>337163325
>hey, you know what would make this turtle look even more retarded? If we put giant stupid cannons on its back.
>lol yeah these retards are gonna love it.
>>337156209
Only the water started looks shit. As usual.
>>337156585
Right here
>>337162641
I did, you still seemed fairly upset.
>Gamefreak is a fucking piece of shit
Doesn't sound very friendly to me. And you never clarified. it sounded like "i'm fucking mad, but I'll begrudgingly play it". It wasn't all that funny either.
Infinitely better than the garbage that is gens 5 and 6
>>337163020
>Gen 3 that high
>Gen 2 that low
Fuck off.
>>337163193
>Not liking the Chimchar line
Not cool dude.
>>337163524
You know what, looking at that picture of Blastoise makes me realize it's not the new designs that are garbage, it's the art style.
Something about the older art style was so much more nicer to look at.
Genwunners
Johtofags
Hoennbabbys
Sinnohshitters
Unovabortions
Kalosemen
Alola?
>>337163193
I liked torterra tied with empoleon
Best starters are gen 1 and 3 because there was no shitty looking starter, anyone who disagrees is a retard. Gen 4 is close but monkey boy is kinda retarded

The only one I want at the moment is the fire tiger.
>>337163685
>Kalosemen
>Not Kalosers
>>337163678
it's both design and art style.
>>337163741
Putting cannons on a turtle isn't creative. It's like they picked ideas out of a hat.
>>337163862
gen 5 had no furbait starter
thats already better than gen6
>>337163693
>>337163862
I think we can all agree gens 5, 6, and 7 have the worst.
>>337156209
>Implying Litten doesn't look dope as hell
Gamefreak cant please everyonebut i'm a slut for these starters
>>337163236
Uhh wouldn't gen 2 being my first make it higher?
Chikorita is shit tier in every regard along with its evolutions
Cindaquil is meh and has kinda shitty stats, his evolution are boring
Totodile is great and its evolution are great
But 1 great pokemon and two shit pokemon is pretty meh, I'd only really consider gen 5's starters bad
>>337163604
>Mudkip and its evolution
>Blazkien and its pre-evolutions
>Sceptile and its pre-evolutions

>>337163862
>not gen 1
literally 3 fucking reptiles
>>337163952

>>337164097
I assumed we were talking about design not competitive capabilities. Chikorita is good until it evolves. the Cyndaquil and Totodile lines are top tier
>>337156209
Oh hey look!
It's the exact thread we have literally every time new starters have been revealed since generation fucking three
>>337157353
this desu, everyone hated froakie until they say greninja

you're clearly biased here bro. not even making arguments
>>337164097
>Mudkip and its evolution
>Blazkien and its pre-evolutions
>Sceptile and its pre-evolutions
Design wise, almost all of these were shit, especially the Torchic line.
>>337157353
>tfw worried that your favorite of the three might look terrible for the final evolution.
>>337164756
>everyone hated froakie until they say greninja
Speak for yourself.
Why do starters just get worse by generation?
Y'know folks. I haven't seen this many buzzwords since the local SPELLING BEE! Ammiright folks?
>>337157467
Should have had more Hawaiian themed starters then. The cat and owl are passable but the seal makes no sense. Hawaii has tons of different water-type related animals they could have drawn froman octopus starter would have been neat.I think they should have used a chicken for one since they're everywhere in Hawaii and cockfights are part of the culture.
>>337164595
that's what imageboards are for my man
>>337164863
They don't. They've always been bad. What you're experiencing right now is nostalgia.
>>337164114
>not liking reptiles
You should kill yourself.
>>337163524
The cannons are actually the best part anon.
>>337164579
Its a bit of a mix, I'm talking terms more of playing through the game Chikorita is pretty shit, and cindaquil is ok but only ok at best
>>337164823
Opinion fucking disregarded
Mudkip's line looks great, sceptile's line design looks great and you're just being a contrarian faggot by not liking the torchic
>>337164939
Boooo
Hang yourself
>>337164947
They have seals in Hawaii, dude.
Pic related. It's a Hawaiian monk seal.
>>337161391
He was better than shitpig and autism snake
>>337164853
froakie was cute as fuck. I felt graninja looked dumb as hell. and not in an endearing way like the new water starter.
>>337165256
they have seals in a lot of countries. what I think he meant is that it would be better to base the starters on animals that you would most associate with Hawaii
>>337162505
if you crop out the jumping part, it looks like it murdered the fuck out of that owl
>>337156312
First post best post
>>337156858
the seal isn't that bad since they're clearly going for a circus design with it.
Expect the final evo to look entirely like a Pierrot.
also remember these 'leaks'
>>337156209
The starters are alright, my issue is it looks like they just reused everything from oras and x/y and it's pretty much oras 2.0.
the female pc looks a lot like may and its still going to have all the issues gen 6 had.
>>337161228
Oshawott and Treecko are similar in that they evolve into awesome-looking Pokemon, but their final evolutions look worse. Dewott looks objectively cooler than Samurott, and Grovyle is a fucking ninja.
>>337165256
mfw I live in Hawaii and I've never seen or heard anyone mention a monk seal
>These are the worst starters yet
Every game, every single game.
>>337163678
this
new art style looks like those weird bootleg pokemon wanna be games
>>337165114
Nope.
Mudkip is cute, but its evos are just bigger, uglier versions of it. Don't even look cool.
Treecko and Torchic suffer the same fate of having neat second evos that turn to absolute shit, especially Blazkien.
So far I'm leaning towards the owl but I'll reserve judgement until I know their final evolutions
>>337160948
oh fuck what was the original of this?
>>337156209
Threads like these are made every time a new pokemon and new starters are announced.
EVERY
SINGLE
TIME
Why the fuck do people still whine at this point?
>>337165560
That one does look close enough to what we got that you can make an arguement that those are early drafts of the starters.
>>337165560
Damn those suck.
Actually I like the tiger.
>>337165560
The circus sucks, so the seal is still shit. The cat is just meh.
>>337165608
anon the model skeletons aren't even the same.
they went with fully proportioned bodies in he overworld for one, where XY and ORAS had kinda chibi. so if we're lucky the overworld and battle models will be the same and we won't see shitty stills sliding in and a ball being thrown from nowhere and instead see everyone in battle throwing pokeballs.

idk some of gen1 was pretty creatively done, but u got to get the culture to appreciate it.
>>337165707
Swampert looks cool as fuck nigger, you whack
How is sceptile worse then grovyle? They're a pretty similar design
>>337156209
shit taste, they are all adorable and that's all that matters.
It beats the shit out of XY which had 1 mediocre (Froakie), 1 good (Chespin), and the absolute shittiest fire starter to date
Although the Owl breaks grass-starter tradition the design is adorable. It might be my favorite depending on how the next 2 stages go.
I'm just hoping it doesn't become Shaymin-sky 2.0 and actually has something new
>mfw I don't give a fuck since I haven't touched Pokemon since Pearl/Diamond and I'm 30 now and only play LeafGreen on my smartphone's GBA emulator

Watch it there, mate. Last time Game Freak listened to the "original" whiners, we got wonders like the Trubbish line and Klefki.
The Owl's cool but it's an objective truth that there has never been a bad water-type starter.

>>337166909
Infernape ripped off Blaziken's type but at least his theme was different. Emboar literally recycled both Infernape's type AND theme. And there is nothing interesting about its design, its just a fucking bipedal pig with runes and fire slapped on it. It's also the worst starter by far for story mode, to the point where it's an actual liability. Shit online also.
Emboar is fucking trash in every conceivable way.
>>337165001
Not that guy, but I work at an exotics only vet clinic. Compared to cat/dog practice, seeing four bearded dragons a day is exciting, so no, lots of reptiles makes me happy.I'm biased though because herps are my favorite animals.

>>337165781
This. It's become a Kirby meme, especially on this site.
>>337156209
The owl is good.
The cat is okay.
The seal is shit.None of this matters until we see evolutions.
>>337166831
nvm i found it
>>337166000
That guy in front of the car looks like a 10/10 fuck buddy. Would give him my ass to pound every night.
>>337166593
Reptiles cover a wide swath of creatures that vary greatly in appearance. It's very possible to make three reptilian pokemon that look distinct from each other.
Besides, dinosaurs aren't even reptiles. You really should kill yourself.
Rule 34 yet?
That owl is simple and adorable. The seal and the cat had nice animations, though.
>Love clown seal
>everyone hates him
Stop picking on the poor lil ocean pupper
>>337166923
>it need to appeal to edgy 2deep4u old retards
no it don't. it's doing fine appealing to children
> yfw the building in gen 5 that allowed you to battle past champions and gym leaders returns
> yfw the trainers in battle show emotions depending on how the pokemon battle is going, (ex. character starts sweating if the pokemons hp is low, character gets shocked if pokemon gets hit by a critical etc.)
> yfw clothing stores have the outfits of the past protags,
the region for alola looks so small though, if theres no multiple regions to go to i will be a sad boy
and hopefully that if you own a n3ds, you can use the second circle pad to shift the camera to an over the shoulder view. that would be the tits
>>337156209
Did you forget about gen 4?
>>337166831
>they quadrupled the porn because of this
>>337167156
Jesus, what an awful gif.
>>337164947

There are no native cats in Hawaii.
>>337167475
She look very average. Like she was npc in another game

Gen 3 was god tier is designs
>>337166667
Okay, what's the difference between this and the normal games besides interaction with players? Shill it to me.
>>337158312
The cat is a bomb. Its tail is a fuse and its head + whiskers are the explosion.
>>337166309
I like how neat the legendaries look compared to the shitty ones in the last gen.
>>337167156
amazing gif
>Customization is going to be shit again
If your not going to do it right, then don't do it at all GF. You fucking tasteless cunts.
This better just be one island
or heavily stylized because damn
>>337165828
I'm fairly certain we've know that the starters were gonna be an owl, seal and cat for a while. something about trademarks
>>337168107
actually its head is the brimstone logo
>>337166831
Is this the first time male trainer has looked better than female?
>>337167156
meh gif
>>337168120
I personally really like the Bat legendary, though I'm sure some shitters will say it's overdesigned or some shit like that.
>>337167807
They were better than gen 5.
That's the nicest thing I can say about gen IV starters.
>>337167589
I love seal clown too. At the same time, I love and always choose every water starter, so I guess that invalidates my opinion.
>>337157951
>4x to ice
>>337166000
Full 3D pokemon handheld game was what I wanted since forever. Now all they have to do is up the graphics a huge notch.
>>337156585
Right on my nigga. The seal look pretty retard and not even in a good way but other than that im looking ward to this.
so which one is getting in the next smash
>>337167156
Is it wrong to have laughed at a few of the names
>>337168027
Sceptile is my go-to starter mon but Grovyle's design is objectively superior
So with this game coming out in november does that mean they're going to have to shove Serena off the team soon to make way for this new girl
I haven't kept up to speed with the annie may so I assume she already did her big league thing
>>337168505
The next Smash is not happening any time soon so none of them.
>>337168438
I'll have to wait for the evolution which are what truly matter.
I didn't like Chespin but I really like Chesnaught
>>337168074
No difference. But being able to duel random people is cool.
Also it has both hoenn and kanto, and the sprites of heartgold. And moemon, of course. And some things like swarms, hordes, day night, and the distinction of phys and spec attacks that happened after 3 and shit like that.
I mean, if you're going to play gen 3 again, you might as well play it online.
>>337156209
I like the owl.
He's cute.
>>337168606
you sure?
its going to be another greninja incident
op is a fag
>>337168223
That first time was BW1, this game still looks like playing female will be the better option.
>>337158181
>I fucking hate circus and circus themed garbage.
This. bet all the faggots who like the seal like Mr. Mime, too.
>>337168195
An assassin maybe?
With the gentleman and clown/jester thing going on it would make some sort of sense.
>>337168545
Who knows. Remember the anime never used Hilda or Rosa despite them being the objectively best Pokegirls.
>>337167678
As long as that horrendous music when your pokemon hits low hp that was a thing in I think B/W doesn't return I'll be happy.
>>337167156
This is a gif.
>>337168667
so no johto?
also not the same guy but, where can i download
>>337168754
That's because they wanted to shove this brown nigglet in your face. Literally the worst female companion in existence.
>SUCH A KID SUCH A KID SUCH A KID SUCH A KID
>>337166000
Dude reality check. That's something not even persona 5 does right now (instead maskin transition into battle really well) on a ps4. What could the 3ds hardware ever hope to accomplish? On top of that you have to remember overworld is in 2d and battles have 3d effects. I mean sure it'd be cool if it was your way but it's not gonna happen.
>>337168621
It has the potential to be good but im struggling to sea what it will be that isn't too similar to walrin. Maybe a sea lion?
>>337168868
>On top of that you have to remember overworld is in 2d
IT'S FUCKING 3D RIGHT THERE
>>337157595
The worst starters are undoubtedly gen 4
>>337156209
Is this supposed to be a circus theme or something? The water starter looks like one of those seals that balances a ball on its nose, the owl looks like a performer in a suit, and the cat looks like one of those big cats that are supposed to jump in a fire loop
>>337156209
i wanna pet the owl
Water seal is basically an apology for Samurott.
>>337168854
>Anon kun.... you ARE SUCH A KID HOLY SHIT
>>337168846
google pokemmo
Be sure to search for the moemon project thread too and making all your team females, like a good autist
>>337158312
the cat is a kendo mask
>>337166000
>Hello there~
>>337169005
Reminder gen 5 exists.
Torterra single handedly saves gen 4.
>>337168983
I mean the actual 3ds 3d effect. You know, that thing nobody uses. It's been unavailable for overworld for all 3ds mainline Pokemon games, can't see it come in suddenly on the 3rd.
>>337156585
muh nigga
>>337169076
Fire/Fighting confirmed!
>>337168509
Yes
>>337167554
>dinosaurs aren't even reptiles
are you fucking retarded? even the ones that were pretty much almost birds were still classified as reptiles
>>337156209
The owl looks good.
The cat looks alright
The seal is fuck my shit up territory, which fucking sucks because I ALWAYS pick the water starter and this one is horrible
So, how will Shitfreak make the cat a bipedal Fire/Fighting type this time?
>>337169206
Yeah I forgot about that because like you said nobody fucking uses it
in fact they could remove the 3D slider entirely and I wouldn't even care.
Honestly, the starters of every gen are all pretty good once you get used to them. The only real complaint I have looking back is Gen 5 taking it stupidly safe with their final evos. (Fucking mono Grass and Water and Fire/Fighting)
>>337167771
Neither are there Pokemon.
>>337156209
I like the owl but the other two are shit. It won't mean a thing if the evolutions are cool though. I hated the fire monkey when it was revealed but Infernape is one of my favorite starters
>>337156858
People said the same about Oshawott.
>>337156209
Didn't think I'd ever see a good Pokemon in my life again but that owl is perfection
Owls
Everyone is fond of owls
Except mice and shrews
And Simon cowels
>>337169329
It's part of the marketing strategy, they have to keep it in.
>>337169206
with the n3ds out it shouldent be a problem
>>337156209
Nah, the owl is really cute. The day new starter pokemon turn out to be ALL shit is when I lose hope for Game Freak.
>>337168606
Do you know something I don't?
>>337158312
Cat's name is Litten
>>337169379
I just noticed how fucking chill Infernape looks. Look at that smile.
>>337156585
>Best starters in a while actually.
They're objectively inferior to the Gen 6 starters.
Froakie and Chespin were great and Fennekin was just OK. None of these starters are anything special. Rowlet and Popplio are just OK and Litten is lame as fuck.
>>337167785
Uhhh...yeah they are
>>337164020
It really doesn't. This fire starter is literally lillipup level of unimaginitive shit.
>>337169390
Oshawott was largely redeemed by Dewott who is objectively the best 2nd stage starter mon
>>337156209
Ever think you've just become an old man OP?
>>337167785
o shit your right bro I forgot they arent
>2016
>still playing pokemon
>>337169471
evolutions are what will matter
I will have a butler owl and a buff juggling circus sea lion and nothing will stop me.
I'M NOT A. KEK
>>337167475
Hang on, people really want a gender slider?
>>337169518
It got more respect when Oshawott got fan art before Dewott was even revealed.
>>337169616
>evolutions are what will matter
Yes, they are.
>I will have a butler owl and a buff juggling circus sea lion and nothing will stop me.
You don't know what the evolved forms will look like. Popplio and Rowlet might go downhill fast.
>yfw leak owl is the second evo
>>337169593
>2016
>not doing whatever the fuck you want regardless of some autist on the internets opinion
>>337156209
>fire cat with a mustache thing going on
Mark my words, the final evo for Litten is going to be somewhere between lion tamer and firebreather with a Robotnik look.
>>337169861
And it's name will be forever known as Pingas.
>>337169307
Bipedal humanoid pokemon is the worst fucking creative direction and I wish it would end.
>>337169415
On n3ds. But this is a game for all versions, 2ds and up. Only thing I'm saying is, gamefreaks plays it really safe in the technical department, so I can't see any magic suddenly happen. Hell the frame drops during 1v1 battles with high detail mons are inexcusable on their own, going from that to seamless overworld battles sounds almost like scifi
>>337167156
>Eevee spelled backwards
>>337169479
>being this new
Am I alone in thinking the cat actually looks fine?
Is it possible to know what area of the world the region is based on yet?
Any interesting guesses?
>>337169960
They're almost always a gen behind. Good thing too, because I don't want to have to buy shit on launch just for Pokemon.
>>337170045
Japan
>>337170039
You're not alone. A cat is fine too.
>>337156747
This desu senpai
>>337170045
I'm guessing Spain.
>>337170045
Its Hawaii
>>337169471
>inferior to the Gen 6 starters.
>inferior to furfag bait and narutard frog
Chespin was cool. The other two were shit.
>>337170045
Lithuania
i think im actually going to use fire starter
cyndaquil will be forgotten
>>337170045
Most likely Russia.
So, I'm guessing that Litten will be a speedy special attacker. Not sure who will be the bulky guy between Rowlet and Popplio though.
>>337170039
I like the cat too.
>>337170156
I'm pretty amazed by how they never made a fish starter, yet fish are what we associate with water the most.
>>337170257
Zodiac is a Tiger, he's going to probably be a physical mon. Hopefully Fire/Poison
>playing pokemon past 18
>>337157951
HA gale wings plz.
Don't let owl die.
>>337156747
>>337170136

>>337170372
There are only 7 gens so far, so unless you're from the future, you can still play.
>>337170515
Anything /flying is boring and overdone.
>>337170045
Given the starter selection, I'm going to guess ireomote
What happened?
>>337170382
>>337170596
It's a grass type with a butler theme. It's possible that it'll focus primarily on trying to be bulky and defensive, like Mega Venusaur and Chesnaught. In that case, Thick Fat would be perfect, but I doubt they'd give it that.
>>337162261
To be fair Oshawott had the benefit on being the only decent water type available in a region literally full of Basculins
>>337166667
>pokemmo
goddamn that was great. and then a massive newfag influx in September 2012 happened and it was never the same....
Evolutions when?
>>337170824
Reptilians/Amphibians getting BTFO
>>337161780
>In a twist of event, the seal becomes the hot furbait
>>337168754
Yet they used Serena.
Shit, she was purposely designed generic a canvas.
and they made her Ash's LOVE INTEREST
>>337170325
They make a lot of fish Pokemon as is, and I can't think of any that are three stages. Maybe that's part of the reason why.
>>337170824
All of the starters from Gens 1, 2, and 3 look perfectly good, then the Water starters shit the bed two gens in a row, then the ugliest starter of all time (Chespin line) happens, now we're back to ugly Water starters.
>>337156209
People are still posting these fake leaks?
You can tell because they're always incredibly shitty and stupid and something you'd never see them actually put out.

Kys
I'm SURE; I'm not the only one who didn't just realize that the three starters are a Circus Trio right?
The Owl is the Ring Leader (Has a bow tie), the Cat is a Cat that goes through fire hoops, and the Seal is the Seal Juggler.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.

>>337169471
>my opinion is "objective"
>>337156209
they will never, even if they make pokemon for the next 20xx years, make starters worse than gen 5. i cant even enjoy that gen between the starters and the 2.5d graphics that look like utter SHIT
you gotta admit the musics pretty nice though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8TG1OBU6VA
>>337171320
It has the brimstone symbol on it's head, so Fire/Dark is one possibility. Could also be Fire/Psychic again or Fire/Ground.or mono fire
>>337171454
Fakes and "leaks" have only been on /vp/ so far. Why would there suddenly be multiple threads on /v/ if it weren't confirmed?

its my dream to make friends with a qt owl, thank you based Gamefreak!
I think my only little issue with the design is the beak, it makes Rowlet look like it has a goofy smile.
>>337171803
Those pokemon look like shit pham
>>337161076
I feel the same way, but they gave me a fricking sweet bird so all is forgiven.
>>337165630
Maybe they train and meditate on a faraway island
>>337163657
as a firefag, Chimchar's line peaked with Monferno.
>>337156209
Fuck off. Fire cat is the best starter since gen 1.
>>337163657
The Chimchar line is trash that ends with another humanoid fire fighting piece of shit.

Rowlet is legitimately great.
>>337156209
That owl is pretty fucking good though. The seal is pretty derpy but the derpy ones tend to have the best evolutions.
>>337156585
10/10 would have owl as pillow

I can't tell if this is bait or Nintendo's rabid defense force out in full. I know you people love Nintendo, but don't you realise you'll never get anything better if you just keep grinning and taking their sub-par shit? Better things will come if people speak up more.
Thank god Zelda was delayed right after star fox bombed. It's pretty obvious they're scrambling to remove force motion control shit out of it now.

>>337160948
accurate
anyone else kind of hoping there's no new mega evos
Gen 6 put actual new pokemon on the backburner in favor of mega evo shit. So in turn we only got like 70 new pokemon
>>337167771
No, but there are a shit ton of strays. I wonder if they will have any of the military bases in the game. It would be kind of cool to see your home in a Pokemon game.
>>337175689
Dont forget weebs.
>>337175593

> still no (light) type
anyday now
>>337175938
Isn't that like half the animals on Hawaii? Man has buttfucked a lot of its native species. And it's native women too, back in the day. Native Hawaiians were very open about sex, so it was an easy way to get western goods.
>>337175379

What do Hawaii, circuses and the sun and the moon have in common? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
>>337175379
Are you the guy who drew those Pokémon? They're fucking shit, buddy.
>>337171803
Official ones ended up being a lot better, even the seal.
The 3DS killed Pokemon.
>>337166362
>literally said it doesn't match
>how is this bad?
because matching is good you fucking retard
also
>what is color theory?
you uncultured trash urchin
>>337176985
what makes you say that?
I was thinking about getting one and have my first game be the new pokemon
(i am genuinely curious)
>>337177126
Don't listen to half the opinions on /v/. You'll learn that after a while. Just buy the game anon and decide for yourself if you enjoy it.
>>337156209
I'm going to go with the ass clown in hopes that the 3rd evolution becomes the best evolution.
Honk, honk, motherfucker.
>>337177126
Please save your money. You should only be buying a 3DS if you have a hardon for MH and can't handle the shittier alternatives. X/Y/OR/AS were all fucking dogshit. The designs have wavered, the chipmunk artstyle is fucking ugly, the game runs like shit, it's baby tier easy, megas have ruined the series long-term, the competitive scene is completely unplayable
I could write a book on this but I have better shit to do
>>337177407
notice how this shill/fanboy wants you to buy it before you consider if it's any good, rather than before

The Litten reminds me of the struggle Mozart suffered from the Court, the Rowlet, and his past struggles with his father, Popplio.
I don't know why it came to me. Maybe there is more to it.
>>337175825
Naw I like megas, and kinda prefer getting gens 70 pokemon now. Less chance of having more shit pokemon and that way it makes it easier to keep track of them all.
>>337177960
Stockholm syndrome.
>>337156209
How would have Pokemon gone if Ash saw this retard flying over the rainbow instead of Ho Oh?
>>337177960
>makes it easier to keep track of them all
So the defense for this is "I'm too fucking stupid"? Really?
>>337177585
Kill yourself faggot. I am trying to be optimistic about these games instead of being an autistic cunt like you who only goes "bla bla these games lost creativity hurr durr"
If you don't like the game, then just don't buy it cuck
>>337178307
Edgy.
>>337166309
>Hawaii will be destroyed in your lifetime
Thanks Obama
>>337178146
It's not that, it's just kinda stupid how many pokemon we're gonna end up having soon.
Fucking, try catching them all when there's over 1000 of them
>>337178123
jesus, that thing is terrifying. He'd probably quit right there, no way I'd go on to find that creepy shit.
>>337171675
Im hoping for fire/rock or fire/ground
>>337178123
It would have been flying across the sky during a meteor shower.
>>337178416
What's the problem? It can be done now more easily than ever.
>>337166309
Can I choose the age of my protagonist in this game or is everyone a ambiguously lanky teen-child hybrid like the last game?
>also Japan's obsession with Hawaii
That shit's disturbing. They bombed the shit out of Hawaii now they pretend like they love it so much. Weebs have their own island, leave the Hawaiians alone.
>>337167026
>playing Pokemon during the most important social periods of your life.
Pokemon is best to play after you've already established yourself as an adult and can relax.
If you do that shit during the critical periods of youth you'll wind up an asocial weirdo with no girlfriend.
