Black & White's Starter Pokemon Officially Get Named

[TheBadGamer]

OMFG Oshawatt is so f***ing cute. I may be a guy but when something is that cute I can't hold back.

 

[SD-Fiend]

Damn. You. To. Hell

I just made this thread

as did I but no one cares

 

[SD-Fiend]

well i still want tepig and oshawatt but I can't decide and i want them both at the start

 

[_Cake_]

Who drew a penis on the blue one's chest?

 

[SD-Fiend]

Snivy = Snake + Ivy
Tepig = Tepid + Pig
Oshawatt = ???

I like the sound of Oshawatt, though.

I guess ocean + otter

 

[smithy_2045]

Seriously? 3 Fire/Fighting starters in a row? This pig thing doesn't even look cool...

 

[TheEvilJester]

Dude Oshawatt and Snivy for the win. Oshawatt is just fun as hell to say and Snivy sounds like some snooty word. I love it. Pokemon keeps on getting better

 

[Banana Phone]

I feel like somehow giving my guy a piplup for a starter, then dominating in the game with him.

That wouldn't even be fair, empoleon destroys way too much.

But yeah, these starters are poop. I've seen some later in the game that look cool but these are seriously lame.

Oh man, I actually thought the grass one's name was Smugleaf. I even thought it was a good name. Snivy is crap compared to Smugleaf, in my opinion.

Still, I don't like these new Pokemon. I don't know, I just like the original generation's starters, and maybe the second and thirds. But they keep getting worse. I don't know how much longer they can keep thinking up new Pokemon.

Five minutes ago, when I first read this, I hated those names. After saying them a few times, though, they've grown on me.

 

[SpaceMedarotterX]

BEHOLD MORTALS!

 

[TeeBs]

Dont care, I just want them to keep Wargle's japanese name because there english name will never beat Wargle

 

[TeeBs]

BEHOLD MORTALS!

I never really cared for Oshawott, but that pick made me D'ahhhh

Snivy should work. It sounds pretentious enough, at any rate.

Seems like with each passing game the starters look worse and worse.

Just once I'd like to see a Pokemon thread where someone didn't talk about how Pokemon was better back when they were a kid.

Someone needs to do a study where they show a bunch of 8 year old kids who have never played Pokemon which starters are the best so we can finally decide once and for all if the starters are getting crappier, or if we're getting older.

I have a 10 year old brother. His first Pokemon game was Platinum. When I as him which Pokemon look the dumbest, he always says multiple ones from each generation. He actually thinks Jynx is the worst out of all of them.

So yeah, I'm tempted to believe most people who think the old Pokemon are better happen to be wearing rose-tinted glasses. Nostalgia can sometimes cloud your judgment.

I don't necessarily think all pokemon are getting worse...mostly just the starters.

 

[Wintermoot]

these names are getting stupider and stupider

 

[Autofaux]

Lol, Ocelot as pronounced by Elmer Fudd.

actually it is thought to be based of a japanese fad

Well jynx is ment to be a black person... *so says people from back in the day and y they banned that one episode with jynx on it* but honestly when i was a kid i thought that was a stupid looking pokemon to.

I would say the art of the first 2 games is how would you say....... more thought out the newer stuff is kinda like todays games kinda shiny and catches your eyes with pretty shapes while the older ones were kinda thought out a lil bit more and has distinctive qualities that most of the newer ones dont. i can name you most if not all of the first 2 generations i played 3/4 and i honestly cant remember them to much and what they look like

Hm, Snivy, you say?

"snivy is an adjective also meaning horny or randy maybe even reckless at times when thinking about sex."

Oh, you, Nintendo.
