These Are the Actual Pokemon Black & White Starters
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
The audience was us when we were still kids, now the audience is made up of the new bucketload of kids. I don't see where the audience changed, I just see where WE changed.
Valid point with the 'stick with the guns you like', but there should honestly be a limit to how 'special' the pokemon look (if you didn't realize, the 'special' is a two-way street referring to both their exoticness and their mental retardation). I understand that evolution has taught us that things look increasingly less awesome over time (we had dinosaurs, now we have......well us. Only thing I still consider awesome is the platypus), but that doesn't mean you have to stick with that dissappointing reality in a game. Frankly, the newest series of pokemon look more like the spawn of my 2-year old nephew's crayon flinging than anything ever has.

Grass looks awesome, Fire looks ok, it's growing on me, and I don't like the Water. I don't see what all the fuss is about.
They're better than some of the ones I've seen from Diamond and Pearl, but not nearly as good as the ones from the previous generations. 'Meh', I say.
I guess, but then I wonder why they only picked up the interest five years later.slowpoke999 said:
Eh, kinda got mixed feeling for this one. The Grass-type looks alright (though didn't they do a grass lizard before?), the Water-type's... so-so... and the Fire-type's... kinda cute, actually. If I get the game, I'll probably go for that one first.
i have to agree the 4th gen starters were in my opinion the best starters thought throughJohn Funk said:
I'll go with fire thanks. I always makes sense to pick the fire type; it's one of the rarest types and has effectiveness over a lot of common pokemon. You can get a good grass very quickly in the game and water soon after. This is especially true with Blaziken in Ruby, Sapphire. You could literally do the whole game with his Fire/Fighting combo.
I know I'm late to the convo.
But how lame can you be game freak.
Its one thing to recycle main pokemon like beautifly is to butterfree.
Because you know they're nothing special, they're just random ass pokemon.
BUT TO RECYCLE A STARTER!? Starters are supposed to be unique and epic....
We had Treecko Gen 3, and now we have Treeckotwo Gen 5....
Way to go >.>
Oh and apparently hes a "snake" any on have a sauce on dat?
I'd like to know when snakes grew arms and legs >.>

Ugh, these look horrible. I mean, seriously horrid. They best all evolve into all kinds of badass, just to justify the absolutley horrific design these starters have.
Still, despite that, I'm not about to change my trend of picking the Fire starter each time, as although it looks silly now, I guess it could evolve into something resembling a boar, which would be pretty cool.

Here's a shocker, people - That grass pokemon is ment to be a snake, apparantly.
It's a snake pokemon.
WITH ARMS.
OT: I don't know. I sort of like the grass design, and the fire one is... Well, eh. But the water one? What the fuck is that, really? It looks like it belonges in a different game alltogether. Not that I really care that much, but... Yeah.
I've seen a pic of that water beaver otter... thing, with the caption "HATERS BE HATIN." (Wish I could find it again!) That really sums it up - I don't think anyone besides, say, me and a few other people with child minds are going to even accept that thing, never mind like it!

Urgh, this is worse than Platinum. Even the player characters don't look that great.
Can't we just stick with generation 1 and 2, maybe 3 too?

Those starters look like ass... The third evolutions of them had better make up for their pitiful looks.
I mean, the fire starter doesn't look too bad, since fire piggies are cool, but the other two.. They just look like hideous mutants. The grass one looks like one of Dr. Seuss' nightmare, and the water one looks like what would happen if a snowman, an otter, and Satan all had some disgusting child born from hours upon hours of blood orgies.
I think this generation is gonna suck... Big time.
