And I thought Platinum had bad starter pokemon...

Shame on me for actually getting my hopes up about the Pokemon design.
If you don't like a giant spiked turtle with a land mass on its back, a huge steel penguin, or a kung-fu monkey, I question your judgment.
Isn't it more of a tortoise? I mean, it's a grass pokemon after all, so it can't be an animal who prefers to hang out at sea.
Bah, semantics. :p

Wow, I might just jump on the "new generations are bad" bandwagon. I hate otters and I hate pigs. Well, the pig doesn't look that bad, but I can see where it's going:

Kick ass, but I'm am NOT a boar fan.

Grass-type looks cool though, and I like the Zoroarks.

Grass guy seems appealing in a strange way... I guess... Resisting disappointment...
...Dude. Skuntank is a skunk.

At least the trainers look better than their Diamond/Pearl/Platinum counterparts...

"Fire Pig, Fire Pig, does whatever a Fire Pig does.
Can he swing from a web? No he can't; he's a pig.
Look out, it's the Fire Pig."

...sorry, but SOMEONE had to make that joke. :p

... Huh. The fire piggy has a weird charm about it. In the end, though, I'll most likely end up going with the grass type, as I've done with every single Pokémon game to date.

Unless its evolved forms are totally kickass, I don't see that water starter getting a big fanclub.

...Eugh. History is repeating itself! I always go grass (because I love grass) but it looks like it's gonna be Chikorita all over again!!

Little dinosaur with a bulb on its back = MINT.
Some kind of brotosaur with a leaf on it's head (and crap evolutions) = not so good...
Little stoned Gecko with a marujuana leaf for a tail = MINT.
And to top it off... A TURTLE with a TREE on it's back!! = FUCKING MINT!!

But that...? What is that?

Ah...
Uh....
Really Nintendo? Really? Good lord, this may be the first time that I'm actually going to pick a grass starter instead of the others.

If I still played pokemon, I'd pick the Water starter.

Because it's a fucking *otter*, the most awesome of all water mammals.

Im not going to hate to hate on them until I play with them. I seriously hated gen 4 when I first started playing it, so much in fact that I sold my game and didnt use my ds for months. My friends started playing some older games just for the hell of it and I gor platinum and it blew me away. empoleon is the perfect match gor my already badass swampert.

Oh god, the horror! There may be some redeeming qualities with the grass and water types (especially because there may be potential with their evolutions), but that water type is just plain horrible.

Grass types are usually my least favourite pokemon, but if I pick up this one (which I doubt) I'll have to take the lizard thing. Simply because least strange.

I'm guessing the water type is some sort of mix between an otter and a beaver. I haven't been keeping up, has that been done yet?

The pokemon suck but I so want the fire pig. Even if it looks stupid, its a freaking pig that breaths fire.

Gah! Nintendo do you not want me to pick the fire starter that badly?

A fire chicken I can deal with, a fire monkey I can deal with but a freaking fire pig!?

I guess i gonna have to choose a grass starter for the first time.
