These Are Your New Pokemon Black & White Starters
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I think if they went with a psychic and dark type the third would have to be fighting to maintain the rock paper scissors balance they have always had with the starters. It would certainly be a nice change of pace to move away from the water/fire/grass. I'm not getting my hopes up though.Collin Henderson said:
You know, I thought they had finally figured it out once they announced Zoroark, but even the silhouettes of the 3 starters look retarded... We can only hope that the other new pokemon will consist of less suck, because you can always kick your starter pokemon the fuck out of your team.
Oh wow, heavy cynicism based on virtually nothing.Kimarous said:
I'm seriously disappointed so many people are already forming opinions based on fake pics and silhouettes. Seriously, some of the best starters around look silly in silhouette form. Like Mudkip. Mudkip looks way weirder than anything those starters could possible be, but mudkip is still fucking mudkip.
Now, judging from the starters of past generations, the general trend is extremely cutesy looking first evolutions, that eventually come amazingly badass. This is exemplified in the piplup family. Tiny cute little penguin, eventually a brooding amalgam of steel and fowl.
For the last time, people, these are FAKE.Hurr Durr Derp said:
Fake as fake can be. Just look at the borders on the pokemon. It's obvious they added those bullshit auras on them to cover up their ... shopness.
I can tell, I've seen quite a few shops in my time.

But yeah. Few past starters have sucked as bad as these look like they're gonna...(lookin' at YOU Chikorita) http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k308/ObsessiveSketch/chikoritaderp.jpg?t=1273536191
Can't get past the water-pig. I'm cracking up every time I see it and the fire-raccoon that looks constipated.

I'll also agree that Swampert (I can only speak for the pictures) is pretty decent, but mudkips is pretty lame compared to say a squirtle in my opinion.Plazmatic said:disagree you just use that as an excuse to not spend your money, which is fine, but I actually did think that blaziken and swampert were awesome in the 3rd generation, and torterra in the 4th (however the other two were fucking stupid as shit in the 4th, and grovie or what ever the hell that fucking leaf gecko thing was called was retarded as well)Velocirapture07 said:That made me laugh....a lot. I totally agree too. I've only played 1st and 2nd generation but I'm starting the 3rd here recently and I must say when I saw I had to choose between a goofy blue blob of a water pokemon, a fire chick (WTF), and a mediocre lizard I was pretty bummed.Magnalian said:You're not the only one. Goddammit those things are ugly, real or not. Give me a charmander any day over any of these new-fangled pokeymans.Hurr Durr Derp said:I realize I'm a total prick for judging them on their silhouettes, but I already don't like them.
To summarize:
I just recently saw the starters from the 4th gen and I became very glad I didn't own a DS....seriously, a freaking monkey for a starter...common! Give me a charmander any day as well.
I just can't stand blaziken though....it doesn't seem like a pokemon to me with it's whole anthropomorphic bipedal thing going on. I looks like a human who morphed into a weird chicken thing wearing bellbottoms.
I do have to admit one thing on these new Pokemon though, their silhouettes look retarded. I sincerally hope that one on the lower right does not turn out to be as stupid looking as the one depicted in the artist interpretation, also I dont want a water pig type either, like that pig thing the artist drew.
Haha, agreed. Anything with a "curly-cue" tail deserves to be immolated alive... The middle one will be interesting too for sure. The only one which looks vaguely okay is the one on the bottom right.Plazmatic said:Velocirapture07 said:Eh, maybe you're right.
