    yes i dont think many people will use grass mixer when energy ball and grass knot are available..

    and i think the signature moves of the starters are far inferior to there 3rd gen counterparts..

    and the lack of physical fire moves is something gamefreak needs to fix badly

    Imo, "Grass Mixer", just sounds weak overall, ... well, at least that's what I initially thought. Then again, I'll be choosing Pokabu, so that shouldn't matter to me.

    Agree and agree. I just hope these "signature moves" are actually just signatures for the basic stage of the starters - hopefully their final evolutions will have awesome signature moves. It's not inconceivable, considering that all three are fairly weak (well, maybe not Shell Blade).

    Also while I'm thinking about it, does anyone else agree that moves that raise Speed are pointless? I mean, usually the Pokemon that learn moves like Agility are really fast already. Rock Polish is the exception to this, of course.

  • considering balance in a team... i'd deffinately pick Tsutaja, simply because i'll be getting White version. I think... Gogizeru is the one in White? the Cell type? yeah, so regardless, the Grass, the Fire in Victini, the Psychic in Gogizeru, and the Electric in Zekrom. As far as water goes... probably Swana at this point. But now i'm getting into the Team i'll have! so i'll just leave it at, Grass sucked, until Treeko. This is a Treeko Clone. Thank god. :)

    I'm definitely going to go with Tsutaaja. I hope he's going to evolve into some epic dragon! (Not going to happen though)
    I'm not sure why everyone keeps calling it a Treecko clone. The only reason they keep getting compared, is the fact that they're both Grass type, they're both reptiles, they're both smug... nevermind. >.<

    Well I think that makes more sense than the other clones, being Spoink/Grumpig/Cyndaquil and Piplup.

    You're heading off-topic there, pokewalker. Stick to discussing the starters.

  • if you are a fan of fire-typed pokemon, why do you have a avatar with a lapras, vapareon, mew (with wings?) and the sea? sorry, but that is weird

    Hey! I dont only love fire pokemon, I love other pokemon too.

    And I just think Pokabu is the best of these 3 starters.... :)

  • >> Guess the shiny starter's colors game! <<

    So basically what do YOU think the shiny starter's colors will be?

    I'm guessing that Pokabu will be brownish-red
    Mijumaru will be greenish with light green
    Tsutaja will be purple-orange

    Well, that's my guess, what about you?

    Merged with the starter discussion thread, since the "game" only relates to the starters, so it fits best here.

    Also, betting on gold for Pokabu :)
    Dunno about the others. D:

  • I will most likely be choose The Sea Otter Pokemon. It's really cute and I'm prime to water pokemon and I always take the water starter.

    I am going to choose Tsuutaja because I have not used a grass starter in a wile.

    I will most likely be choose The Sea Otter Pokemon. It's really cute and I'm prime to water pokemon and I always take the water starter.
