5th Gen The Starter Discussion Thread

Yeah I meant their evolutions.

 

[Bluerang1]

I want to go wit Pokebu since I've warmed to its cuteness and MRAS is going with Tsutajaa (not that I want an advantage, I want something different and I really don't like Mijumaru). But, I'm choosing White, that'll be two Fire Types. :\ Who said Reshiram will be on my team anyway :P (He will me xD) I guess I'll have to Fire types (which are the type I think are over hyped).:cheeky:

 

[Zeturic]

You mean what types you want Tsutaaja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru to be, or their evolutions? If you meant the starters and not their evolutions, then it's already confirmed Tsutaaja is Grass, Pokabu is Fire, and Mijumaru is Water.

If you meant their evolutions, not so sure if the types will end up like that. Usually if a second stage Pokemon has a dual type, the third stage won't go back to just one type. Also, a three stage Pokemon tend with two types tend to have a type changed once. For instance, Pokabu. It's evolutions will either go Fire/Dark or Fire/Ground because Pokabu is only a Fire type. Or, its second stage could still be Fire and third stage will be either Fire/Dark or Fire/Ground.

Just... wow. That's not what he meant at all. He's talking about their final forms being either one of those types. As in, he believes Tsutaaja's final form will either be Grass or Grass/Poison.

The only type triangles that work both forwards and backwards are Grass/Fire/Water, Rock/Fighting/Flying, Fire/Rock/Steel and Grass/Poison/Groun.

Just for fun, type squares that work both forwards and backwards, are Fire/Bug/Grass/Water, Fire/Grass/Ground/Rock and Rock/Flying/Grass/Ground.

I'll add this again since this thread is more active:

I've just realised how adorably cute Pokabu is. it's mesmerizing. At first I though, yeah it's cute, but nothing compare to Tsutaja, but now, I'm thinking that I might end up choosing it :3

Anyway, look at this:

That yellow part highlighted, Flames goes from bottom to top: Yellow, Orange, Red. I'm thinking, with each of it's evolutions, a colour will be added until it's final stage. So it'll be Orange and Yellow for it's 1st Stage evo, then Red, Orange and Yellow for it's final stage evo :) So they'll be a flame on it's head :laugh:

I don't think it's that Fire types are overhyped. It's moreso how there wasn't too many of them. Heck, many people complained you only get two Fire types, one in which is a starter, in the Diamond and Pearl games.

His post seemed to indicate what types he wanted for the second stage and third stage Pokemon. My mistake then, but he could have been clearer what he was trying to say (though before this post he mentioned he was talking about the evolutions).

Yes.

I'll re-phrase, Fire Starters are over-hyped :)

 

[Adâm1]

I must say, that before I saw the newest starters I was inclined towards Fire Pokemon. Since seeing Mijumaru, I have actually started all my Gen IV games in a solemn oath to become a Water trainer. I see the appeal of Water types now. Especially as I love otters.

P.S.
FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MIJUMARU IS HUGGABLE!
Ahem.

 

[ninjaman]

grass will be mine but i have to see the final evos

 

[MegaKuriboh]

^And Rock/Flying/fighting.

I can see this.
Final Evos Tsutaja Grass/Flying Pokabu Fire/Rock Mijumaru Water/Fighting

I wanna see the final evos NOW to see who I'll start with either Tsutaja, Pokabu or both but not Mijumaru it is just wierd in a cute kinda way.
The only way I would use Mijumaru is if his Final Evo is a freain epic Pokemon and the other two starters are s***

Gosh, I love Tsutaja & Pokabu...

 

[drewface]

im picking smugleaf
best evolution potential too.

 

[MegaKuriboh]

Who is Smugleaf is that a nickname for Tsutaja?

 

[Alwaysbored]

The water otter whatever its name is!

 

[MegaKuriboh]

I guessing Tsutaja will evolve into a part Poison type https://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/attacks.shtml
He learns Coil which is a Poison type move

Just because it learns a poison move does not mean it is a poison type. Chikorita learned Poison Powder and was not a poison type, Treecko learned Pursuit but was not a dark type.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Well coil sounds like a move all snake like pokemon will know...Finally Rayquaza would be able to learn a poison move that does damage :D

 

[rocky505]

I don't think Coil will do damage. It may just raise a stat.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I see coil as a poison version of Wrap...

 

[MegaKuriboh]

Well Tsutaja IS a snake and most snakes are Poisonous I was guessing he evolves into part poison.
I hope he doesnt become Grass/Poison because we already have a starter of that type
What does Coil mean anyways?(sorry if I sound stupid)

 

[rocky505]

I copied this from a dictionary.

series of loops: a series of connected loops into which something has been wound or gathered

Who is Smugleaf is that a nickname for Tsutaja?

Yeah, it's an English nickname many people are giving Tsutaja, pretty much. I actually won't be surprised if that were to be Tsutaja's official name in the English versions.
