[Update] Your Pokemon Black & White Starters Could Evolve Like This

[teutonicman]

This is the first time that I thought all the starters sucked. I mean come ON! You have three options to choose from and each one has two other forms to look badass! How do you screw that up?

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

I think I might just get the grass type now! I'm really disappointed in that fire type....the first form looked soo cool!

 

[icyneesan]

The Grass starter looks even more awesome now. And the water one doesn't look half bad.

Fire looks...passable at best. Though I never did choose fire... well except for Blaziken. All sorts of fetishes involved in that choice... :3

 

[ShadowsofHope]

..Is that the Pokemon version of a battleship for the water starter?

They don't look so bad.

..They don't look so great, either.

 

[John Funk]

Am I the only one that still finds them appaling? They look horrible. The stages skip physical features and the resulting pokemon have basically no similar attributes.

I sort of dig the patterns on the pig, but even that looks way too fucking bloated and unrestricted. Don't just clutter design elements on them and make them look generically 'epic'.

Here's a guide on how to design good Pokemon:

Dragonair -> Dragonite, man. Just saying.

The only one that's a stretch is the Water one - the others clearly share the same design theme - and that gets a pass because it looks awesome and graceful.

...I want that water-type...

 

[Cadapalo]

I was originally going to go with the grass snake but seeing the final form of the otter makes me thing otherwise. I mean a pokemon with a weapon on its back is pretty much instant win.

Also I wonder how long until these pictures get ruled 34?

 

[l33tmomma]

dudes wtf is wrong with your taste in cool things here??? I mean i guess the grass one looks alright but the water and fire ones look like SHIT ok the second evolution of the water one looks cool but the final form suks realy bad. The first starters where the coolest all im saying.

 

[Baldry]

Ok the grass and waters look really cool. However once again, the fire one looks a little dodgy. I haven't seen a fire starter I like since Silver and Gold :S

You didn't like a fighting-fire monkey?!

Also I wonder how long until these pictures get ruled 34?

OH GOD.!

Uhm out of all of those it looks like i'm using a grass poke'mon, annoying really since I love using fire poke'mon as starters!

 

[Kevin McAwesome]

I just love the pokemon series, It's simply faboulus

 

[Gigaguy64]

Wow.
these look Awesome!

Though i cant help but think that the Artists were playing Spectrobes while designing them.
And that's not really a bad thing.

Spectrobes gave me a Cactus Dragon.
CACTUS.
DRAGON.
And it is one of the coolest things i have ever seen.
The water type reminds me of

Spoiler: Shakoblad

Just not quite as cool.

Your Pokemon Black & White Starters Could Evolve Like This

If these "leaked" images of the final evolutions for the Pokemon Black & White starter critters are legit, I take back everything bad I ever said about that stupid-looking otter.




The only one I'm not on board with is Pokabu's evolutionary line. Oh sure, it looks fine, but it also looks like it'll turn out to be a Fire/Fighting type - just like the other two fire-type starters before it. Yes, Fire/Fighting is a great type mix, but do we really need a third one in addition to Blaziken and Infernape? Really?

Whether real or not, it's a cool-looking set - and with the Japanese launch of Pokemon Black & White right around the corner (September 18th), we'll learn either way soon enough.

Hmmm.
I can see Pokabu as a Fire/Fighting.
But to me it actually looks more like a Fire/Rock Type.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Nintendo, I am disappoint. I imagined the fire piglet Pokemon evolve in something like this:

But ON FIRE!!!

How awesome would thát be?!

Because the 4th generation was the best generation yet? And 5th looks to be adding some awesome stuff too?

Eh I beg to differ. I always found the Pokemon starting to get more and more over-designed after the second generation. Too many bells and whistles, too many patterns and stuff, not animal-like enough.

That's not saying the first 2 generations didn't have some absolutely stupid designs. Magnetite...sériously? How does that...thing (can you even call it an animal?) reproduce?

 

[ZeroMachine]

I don't think they would ever hand out a potential dragon type at the very beginning of the game. Too powerful.

And as for the Big Pig, that looks to me like it actually be Fire/Rock or /Ground. And that would be cool.

But I still don't know. I'm more than content with HeartGold, and it took long enough for the Gen 4 Pokemon to grow on me. I don't know if I want to go through that whole "getting used to 100+ new Pokemon" thing again, even though the battles look much cooler, and 3 on 3's made me squeal with glee.

 

[Luke5515]

Now I really want the water one, but the grass one looks sweet now too.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Also I wonder how long until these pictures get ruled 34?

OH GOD.!

Uhm out of all of those it looks like i'm using a grass poke'mon, annoying really since I love using fire poke'mon as starters!

And just like that, Thousand of doujin authors are working hard on the new designs and how they..."Relax" after a tough battle.

You know, this will be the first pokemon game actually want to play.

I cant help but feel when I look at the wawter one it looks really, really funky - Like some form of water unicorn o.o
