    in addition to the unholy shrieks of pain from charmander, pokemon the origin apparently shows team rocket kill marowak

    what is happening to pokemon

    after years of idiots saying things, Nintendo listened.

    Behold your gritty pokemon reboot.

    Next will be a short series about Legend of Zelda set in a steam punk world where link gets a gun and shoots Ganon to death.

    Greninja's design is fucking sweet as shit and I will not hear otherwise.

    Also, there is a move named Smack Down.

    Water/Dark is a cooler typing than Grass/Fighting but Chespin is my bro.

    Gotta stick with my bro.

    Grass fighting can be frightening. I'm kinda excited about all of this.

    I don't dislike any of the starters. this is the first in a while.

  • MarathonMarathon Registered User regular
    Grass starter it is.

  • OmnipotentBagelOmnipotentBagel floof Registered User regular
    I'm on board for a not-Breloom Grass/Fighting. Froakie's alright, but I've already got a Sharpedo, so I'm not really aching for another Water/Dark, but it's a cool typing nonetheless (and Sharpedo is one hell of a glass cannon, so he kind of sucks in single-player). And I'm not really digging Fennekin past Basic stage, but the typing is so great. This is gonna be a tough call. None of them are bad, but none are really standing out to me either.

    I think smack down has been around for a little while. Does extra damage to flying types I think.

    it's a rock move that removes magnet rise and telekinesis.

    That Helioptile evo is a middle evo if I've ever seen one.

  • JarsJars Registered User regular
    I think I would be okay with saying gen 4 has the best starters overall

    but the gen 6 starters are all pretty good except maybe chespin. grass/fighting is a pretty swanky typing

    fire/dragon is the least ludicrous typing for charizard

    it is the typing it was always destined to have

    it's not ludicrous because it doesn't make sense

    it makes a ton of sense, obviously

    it's ludicrous because it's really, really good

  • JarsJars Registered User regular
    that didn't really end up true with resharim. water/dragon is much better and one of the best typings you can have. grass/dragon would be interesting with the 4x water, thunder, and grass resists but not a whole lot else going for it.

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    all the starters are rad

    think I'm gonna have to go with water, though

    haven't done that since totodile

  • HunteraHuntera Rude Boy Registered User regular
    The only grass I've ever gone with is Turtwig so Chespin will be my second grass starter

    Agreed with the caveat that Gen I was all good too (I almost prefer I for the relative simplicity of design over IV's more complex designs). VI is successful in that there are no bad choices, but none of them seem particularly compelling to me either. Way more hyped for Ghost Tree and Kung Fu Panda and the Fossils and the Helioptle evo and...

    After googling Pangoro I will probably have 4

    (Chespin, Hawlucha, Pangoro, Sawk, Trapinch, Mismagius)

    Id really like to see greninja you know do something since apparently it can only be photographed in a stat screen.
    At least Chespin gets swole

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    Am I the only one here who isn't super hyped about Chespin's third evo?

    Looks like Greninja for me!

    Also, did everyone else see the middle stage for Talonflame?

    i'm not hyped about Chespin's third.

    It's neat but eh. I'll probably trade for an egg raise one and regret not starting with one, but that pretty much always happens so whatever.

  • DirtyDirtyVagrantDirtyDirtyVagrant Registered User regular
    I am getting this game. No question about it.
