Pokémon Thread: New starters REVEALED - Get your Winners' Path in HGSS
The fire starter is kind of disappointing, but I'll wait to see its evolutions before judging completely. Still, it's definitely no kung-fu chicken/kung-fu monkey like the last ones.

Hmm, if they give the starters types that give them an advantage against the opposite type as they have in Sinnoh (Ground, Fighting, Steel respectively) I wonder if they'll repeat this secondary typing again (though I'm all for Pure Grass/Fire/Water starters.
Grass and Fighting? Dark? Flying?
Fire and Steel? Psychic? Normal?
Water and Ice(lol!)? Flying(what? wings would totally make that design better, it already has everything else)? Fighting?

You know who's getting me through the Elite 4 in HG/SS?
This motherfucker.
Badass as hell. Also, terrible pun was terrible, Rockin. No-one wanted to read it.
My first impressions were that the grass starter was awesome, the fire starter was cute, and the water starter was fugly. Looking at them again, I think they all look pretty good, even the otter. It's gonna be hard to choose, methinks...
True, we should withhold judgments until they digivolve into their next digivolution
or at least until someone throws down a Dark Ritual Magic Card and that Sea Otter becomes the feared King of Otters so covered in blood the waters of the world's rivers is not enough to wash it clean....

I just want there to be a pure flying type, really.
I don't really get why normal/flying pokemon aren't just flying pokemon. It is kind of like how there weren't any pure rock pokemon in the original generation for no real reason.
Well, huh. Learn something new every day. Whatever the case, snakes used to have legs and are occasionally born with them due to genetic abnormalities and mutations and whatnot. The genes are there, they just aren't active.
And Grass-starter's limbs look pretty underdeveloped and weak, too. Maybe it'll lose them upon evolving. It'd be cool to have a limbless snake starter final form.
guys obviously the snake will evolve into the Midgard Serpent

I had the genius idea of using a focus sash endeavor ratata to catch all my legendaries.
And then I discovered that the focus sash disappears if its used and I was all like
No it doesn't. It's effect is once per battle though.
On the Starters
Collected Lizard is cool. I will name him Simon and he will battle with his unrestrained rednecky Treecko brother also named Simon. Also they will solve crimes It would be hilarious if it becomes a boxing Grass Fighting.
Fire Pig. Ahaha! Maybe a fire ground for it's final?
Water Otter. WASTE OF AN OTTER.

Flying in Japanese is Wind or something. So a pure flyer would be air.

But don't we have pure fire pokemon like Charmander? The same thing would apply. You would at least think there would be some kind of air elementalish pokemon.

I guess. Maybe that's our Legendary in White?

Reposting because of pun that no one cringed about due to people not reading it.
It was too subtle. Truly horrible puns should be obvious.
According to CoroCoro it is supposed to be a snake (with legs, somehow?).
The fire starter is kind of disappointing, but I'll wait to see its evolutions before judging completely. Still, it's definitely no kung-fu chicken/kung-fu monkey like the last ones.

Snakes used to have legs far into the past. At least one still does.
Grass and Fighting? Dark? Flying?
Fire and Steel? Psychic? Normal?
Water and Ice(lol!)? Flying(what? wings would totally make that design better, it already has everything else)? Fighting?

it does disappear after it is used
not in battle frontier or anything
but it does in the normal game

I was like you once, thinking that I could just use the same focus sash over and over again in-game.
How joyfully naive (+Spe -SpD) I was.

Huh. In retrospect I guess I never did use it outside of PvP.
But don't we have pure fire pokemon like Charmander? The same thing would apply. You would at least think there would be some kind of air elementalish pokemon.
They'd save time on sprites.
I guess. Maybe that's our Legendary in White?
