Do you agree on this?
Yeah
>jumping through a hoop
>not a fire breather
come on man
Yes. But now I question again why Rowlett was given Leafage instead of Razor Leaf, and Popplio was given Water Gun instead of Bubble.
>>26495954
could be both
Clown instead of performing sealion, when do you ever see sealions in a circus? Aqua parks maybe but they are too impractical to take touring across country, even elephants are easier to transport safely.
Other than that spot on with the theme I think OP.
>>26495954
>Creates a hoop of fire
>Then jumps through it.
There, both.
>>26495945
Yes. Popplio is not a fucking clown, he is a seal that plays with a ball. Fuck all of vp you guys are annoying as fuck and nothing but a bunch of memeing faggots.
>>26495957
Because those are their starting three moves, not their signature moves.
I bet Rowlet's not the only one that gets to learn Leafage, and he gets moves like Razor Leaf and some special, unique feathery-leafy attack that actually shows those leaf feathers later on.
>>26496006
Eet's both tho.
>>26496118
>Pokemon can be based on more than one thing.
>>26495945
Yes, yes, kinda. I think Litten is the fire breather but could be courage cat.
>>26495945
No. Popplio is the only one with a circus theme. Stop fucking grasping.
Litten is supposed to be a cannon, it even has a fuse-looking tail.
>>26496118
He's going to be a juggler. Possibly a juggling clown sea lion. That's my guess at least.
>>26496158
It's pretty obvious. Rowlet is the knife thrower. Litten is the fire eater/breather and Popplio is the juggling clown.
>>26496118
Popplio is clearly meant to evoke a circus performer whether it's a clown or just a circus seal or something. The others are a reach though. The hoop tiger thing would be a cool aesthetic to base it on but there is no evidence of that progression whatsoever yet. Ditto with Rowlet and whatever ridiculous motif people are trying to pin on it today
>>26496210
Braixen is the firebreather, Chesnaught is the strongman and Greninja is the acrobat.
See how retarded you sound?
>>26495954
oh shit I see it now, bipedal fire breathing FAT CAT. GG RIP hopes for quadrapedal fire starter.
>>26496259
Huh, never thought of that
>>26496259
In Rowlet's pokedex entry is states that they throw their leaves from afar. In Litten's it talks about their coats having a flammable oil that ignites when it's time to shed their fur.
Fire breathers spit oil in order to make their flames. Fire eaters touch the flame with their tongue to extinguish it. It's not really a reach.
>>26496315
Yes, it is. November can't get here soon enough. Braixen line literally breathes fire, Chesnaught is literally a strong man, and ninjas are acrobatic. It makes equal amounts of sense.
>starters are themes meme
Does this autist ever sleep?
>>26496259
Thinking starters don't have themes now? I have some bad news for you:
http://www.gamesradar.com/pokemon-xy-why-director-masuda-himself-answers/
"Later on in the interview, Yoshida answered a bit more about them: So with the inspiration for the region being France and the setting being closer to a European type thing. The three starters this time evolve in a way, we cant really tell you what the exact details are, but they evolve in a way that make people think of one of those medieval RPGs."
>>26496357
But those three have their own theme already. They're based on classic rpg/fantasy classes like mages, knights, and thieves.
The new trend for starters is to have a cohesive theme between all three of them. It started in XY and will most likely continue.
>>26496390
I don't feel like looking for it but there was a BW interview confirming were based on european, chinese, and japanese royalty too.
You know the common theme though? You couldn't tell how they were going to evolve in the first form, because they don't develop those attributes until later, sometimes not even obviously until the third form. People grasping at straws using the base forms are going to get nowhere.
>>26496412
>most likely continue
Oh, we're pulling things out of our asses now?
>>26496412
Are you an idiot? The point is to illustrate how flimsy the stupid ass circus theory is by showing it's so loose that it can apply to another group of starters even thoguh we explicitly know it isn't what they are supposed to be.
>>26496390
None of this is apparent in xy's starting forms or even their second forms. So if we are going to make assumptions based on initial forms where do you think that will get us?
>>26495954
Rowlet is a knife thrower and ringmaster
Popplio is a clown, juggler and acrobat
Litten is a fire breather and jumps through hoops
Always found the circus theory to be flimsy, but never really voiced it because I figured it'd devolve into more shitposting like every other theory and pattern.
>>26496390
I actually didn't know the RPG class thing was confirmed anywhere so thanks for the link for future reference. Always thought it was just something people extrapolated.
>>26496487
I guess it's just people's nature to find something where there is nothing (yet) but the echo chamber for something like this that's so currently baseless is insane.
>>26496210
Yeah, we saw the fucking picture, fucko. It's still a stretch, and there's no evidence for it apart from:
>one might have a circus theme, ergo they'll all have the same theme
It's retarded to make any such general predictions based on next to no evidence.
>>26496506
>austists find/force patterns where there are none
What's new?
Does this mean Popplio is the only one with a concept behind it?
>>26496690
It's more like it's a water seal and it needed something more to its concept considering we've had 2 other water seals, 3 if you count Samurott. Rowlet was a grass owl and Litten is a fire cat and didn't really need anything else to make them distinct, though I think Litten is supposed to evoke a stereotypical halloween-looking black cat. They will gain secondary themes and motifs as they evolve almost certainly. They don't have starters just get bigger anymore.
No because circuses have nothing to do with Hawaii.
>>26496744
Because french, chinese, and japanese royalty have so much to do with New York City and warrior, mage, and rogue RPG classes have so much to do with France
>>26496744
A journey to the west and samurai have nothing to do with America yet we got those for Unova.
Do you agree on this?
>>26496450
>None of this is apparent in xy's starting forms or even their second forms
>Braixen with a stick as a wand
>Frogadier a blatant ninja
>Quilladin literally wearing a grass suit
Shut up anon
>>26497067
No, because I'm not gullible.
>>26495945
Of course because that's what it is. Popplio already confirms it. People are just retarded and it sucks that the archive is dead because it would have been grand to compile all of the denialfags into one big BTFO image.
>>26497067
Why do Popplio's evolutions not look like sealions anymore?
>>26497137
Because they're shitty fakemons.
>>26495945
I just hope Rowlet's final design isn't too edgey
I want him to stay a happy owl.
>>26497098
>grass suit
And that means what exactly?
>>26496390
>Thinking starters don't have themes now?
Nice strawman. I said THESE starters don't have a CIRCUS theme. If they have a theme it's not that apparent.
Also, none of the starters had group themes until gen 4, and ONLY the gen 6 starters are blatant and entirely consistent with it.
>>26497402
It's a knight suit of armor
>>26497456
I don't think we are looking at the same pokemon, anon.
>>26497067
no, stop forcing that bullshit, nobody believes you, timmy.
>>26497137
>>26497158
History repeating
