4th Gen D/P Starters!

[shanecdavis]

Well, of the three crappy types, my boys and I will definitely be picking the Water-type. As always, the Fire-type will be the worst because, well it's a Fire-type, and the Grass-type will either have a limited movepool or it will be geared more on the defensive side.

These pokemon look too cute. I'd prefer something a bit......erm...nastier.

 

[SkinnyGreenMan]

They are just the first in the evolution set. Their evolutions may be... "nastier", as you say.

 

[Vampire://Krimm]

Exactly.

I always heated the Fire Starters. Escept Cyndiquill ^_^ I always choose The Grass pokemon. except Chikorita XP

Can we forget about stats for a minute? JUST PICK YOUR FAVORITE!!!! It doesn't matter how the stats and attacks are, because, if you want, you can just REPLACE the Pokemon at a later time with another Pokemon that you have trained. Geez. Some people take this game way too seriously... it's supposed to be fun. And it is!

I never really liked monkeys, the grass is a bit wtf?
The penguin is cute but I really wanna see the evolutions before I decide.

The cutest one is the fire monkey. But I'm not starting with it

Thanks for sharing this! :)

The fire pokemon will probably evolve into a gorilla looking thing with high attack. The little water penguine will probably be a lot like Walrein in it's final form. Don't really know about the grass one; looks a lot like a Chikorita. Will probably look a lot like Meganium or Venusaur. :)

it doesn't matter what starter you pick...wait, I take that back.

traditionaly each of the starters is like a difficulty setting.

In R/B/Y Bulbasaur was the easy choice while Charmandar was the hard choice.
In G/S/C it was reversed where Cyndaquil was the easy choice and Chikorita was the hard choice.
In R/S/E it was actually leaning towards Mudkip some as the easy choice (it has advantages over 4 gyms) and Torchic has the hard choice (Only one gym...and that's after evolving)

But it is true that some people abandon their starters after some time...or until they get a better pokemon. But the starters are most likely going to follow that pattern depending on the gym leader's type choice (waiting for dark gym).

But as I said earlier, I always pick the fire starter first.

Like I said before in some other post. every Pokemon starter that I had the Water one doesn't get knocked out the most. Like the other 2. I'm not saying that the Water types are the best choice, but its up to you

:t093:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

 

[what?]

i wonder how they're going to deal with icebeaming water starters this generation

first, feraligatr's attack was higher.
then swampert's special attack was low, and also had the quadruple weakness to grass. was also endangered by sceptile's sweeping stats.

it's like the (darwinian) evolution of pokemon starters. the grass starter is becoming ever more specialized to knock out the water starter as best it can, while the IBing capabilty of the water starter is ever decreasing.
Thus producing two of the most notable starters in pokemon battle.

maybe they'll stick with the low special attack water. that's cliche, though. too predictable.

I still hope the penguin evolves into something less, err... chubby.
So far, no one appeals to me. Ill probly choose the penguin. Being part ice type most likely, itll be strong against the other starters. Unless The turtle became part steel or rock or something

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I'm really guessing that it could be a Water/Ice type. Thats a good sign because if it is a Ice type also. I won't have to waste an Icebeam TM on it.

That will mess with the balance.Ice is super effective against grass.

Even so, i really hope it doesnt turn into water/ice.Thats such a horrid type combo.Weak to fighting/rock/electric/grass and only resistant to water and ice.

I have a gut feeling it'll turn into a water/fighting..

 

[[[.x___matt]]]

I think I'm going to choose...the water penguin one. I don't really like the look of the fire monkey and the grass trutle just looks....retarded. LOL

 

[wiccanmaid]

stop hating on the monkey it's cute in it's own way ... As for the penguin I have the strangest feeling that it's gonna be the weakest out of the three.

 

[Kuri-Chan ♪]

I don't know. I REALLY want the monkey (Pudding Fon!) and there probably won't be any more monkey Pokemon because of the starter. BUT THE PENGUIN ISH TEH CUTENESS! -Snugglelubb-

I just don't like the Monkey's FACE! His eyes are baggy, big features... I'm also scared that his final evo is gonna look like... like Slackoth -studders-

 

[Jonathan Paskiewicz]

Diamond Starters are so-so. =P I don't like turtles and monkeys, but I like reptiles. So penguin is ok, it's cute... Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn starters are really greatest than D/P starters. Charizard, Totodile, Croconaw, Feraligatr, Blaziken, Grovyle, Secptile are my favorite starters.

Now that I've seen all of the new Pokemon, I'm kind of sad at the direction that Pokemon has taken. I'll still get this game in hopes that the improvements in gameplay will make up for some of the lackluster new Pokemon, but...this might be my last one.
