One bulky starter would make sense. Yea, I chose Rowlet too. I kept him unevolved for a while too because I really like Rowlet's design.

Yea I have no problems with Tepic either. Its evolutions are a different story lol

Something more fantasy/forest-y like would be nice yeah, please let's not end up with starters that are too bulky. Luckily Rowlet's final evolution was neat! I liked his whole line a lot. <3

and yeah... poor Tepig. It's cute in its first form, but not a fan of the next two at all.

I like Infernape, but I agree with you. Something more "druid-like" I guess? I'm not sure how to put it into words lol.

If the tepig line was fire/ground and maybe it wouldn't be hated as much. I don't even think the other unpopular starters even compare to the hate the tepig line gets.

Agh yeah. I'm the unpopular person that never liked Infernape or Greninja-like mons much, so I do hope it's something more similar to what you're saying, rather than buff/strong/bulky/etc etc haha.

Yeah, I just hope they learned from having the same type combo three times. :s There really wasn't an excuse for that except lack of creativity. Really, why??? poor tepig and its line probably being the most universally disliked starter haha .....

I just hope the design is more "nature"-like if that makes sense. I don't want Grookey's final form to be like infernape, but I also dont want it being a lumbering gorilla. We have one from gen 7 already.

I was thinking that as well, but dont forget that they had fire/fighting starters three generations in a row. Water/dark doesnt seem like a stretch compared to that lol.

That would be neat too! I can see him being grass/rock, though it's not a combo I think much about.

Greninja's already water/dark, and idk if they'd make another starter with that same (fairly unique too) combo again so soon??

Grass/Psychic would be really cool on Grookey. I've been hearing a lot of Grass/Rock predictions, but I think that would be more interesting. Fire/Electric would be pretty cool, but I'm also thinking Fire/Ground is a possibility. Although maybe it would be too similar to Bunnelby then. Yea I doubt Sobble will ever be part dragon, as cool as it would be. Water/Dark maybe?

I'm hopeful for grass/psychic on Grookey, since it's music/tempo-based. Fire/electric for my bun pls aaaaa

not too sure what to think of Sobble yet. Dragon could be nice, but I can't see them adding a dragon typing to a starter!

Yea i agree. All the starters are cute! I'm a bit partial to Sobble, but Grookey is growing on me. Ultimately, their final evolutions will be the decision-making though. If Scorbunny ends up Fire/Electric, that would be super cool! What do you think the final typings will be?

very exciting! I like all the starters but the bunny is especially cute. :3c you??

Very true. I wish I knew that in high school, that you shouldn't date to date. I could have been focusing on more productive things.

Yea I'm totally okay with watching subbed anime! In fact, I think I prefer it. And thanks! I'll check it out!

What did you think of the Pokemon Direct this morning?

Definitely a good choice. If you rush into dating for the sake of dating you're likely to get into a relationship that won't last.

aaaand are you okay with watching subbed anime? If so I recommend Mob Psycho 100. Amazing series that I am sure anyone will love!!!

Thank you! Yea I have a crush on this one girl, but she isn't interested in dating. Honestly, I understand. I didn't want to date last semester (I didn't think I was ready/wanted to focus on other things). I'm also not going to ask out a girl on a whim. Having a genuine relationship is very important to me and I'll only date a girl if her values coincide with mine.

That's super cool you guys got together! Thats great!

So I was thinking of getting back into anime a little bit. My roommate will roast the crap out of me for it, but whatever lol. I think you were the one that originally got me into it a few years ago with Attack on Titan. Do you have any good recommendations? Nothing with too many seasons... I just won't have the time unfortunately.

Holy moly that is a lot. I am incredibly proud of you, and you must be so proud of yourself too. Congrats!! And aww I am sure you will find an awesome girl when the time comes. I actually wasn't very interested in pursuing a relationship (since I am so incredibly picky...) but things really took a turn when bobandbill and I got together, and now things are great. With time, naturally, things will fall into place ~

Seems you're working very hard on all levels, and that is just great to hear. \o/

Yea life has been super stressful for me, but I'm also having a lot of fun! I'm in my second semester of uni and doing well. I've been spending the past couple weeks working on internship and job applications. So far, I haven't had much luck landing an internship but I just got a job as a research assistant, which I'm excited for. Despite the stress, I've been riding a high for the most part. And a lot of this is possible because I've made some major lifestyle changes like reducing my computer usage, engaging more in my faith, and eating better... I've lost 70-75 lbs since June! I'm finally feeling confident in my own skin and girls definitely treat me differently/are more interested (but no girlfriend yet!).

I'm just waiting for things to take a turn lol
