Fire/Ghost Tiger ftw. But personally, I think I would like the Swan or Donkey, I like to stray away from the most popular.

Waffle-San May 9th, 2010 7:58 PM

Wait, dang Fire has been with Ground. Ghost would be awesome...but Tiger...psychic? Or maybe Normal or electric. I'd say Ghost, Psychic, Normal and Electric are the best possibilities...

Those two have my attention right now as well. I'm having a pretty good time imagining what the swan's evolutionary line will look like, if that is in fact what that silhouette really is.

Fire/Dark seems possible...

I can definately picture the Swan too, but what exactly is it's tail made out of...feathers? Cause they're kind of weirly placed and it doesn't have any wings...(yet)

THIS IS JUST FOR THOSE WHO DON'T SEE IT...NOT TO BE WHAT I BELIEVE THEY ARE JUST WHAT THE DUDE SAID OKAY ALRIGHT GOOD I made it look stupid for the lolz

My guess is that they are short, wide feathers like these...

Houndoom and Houndour make that one taken...

I think Grass/Steel or Fire/Steel would be great (I know Fire is taken but its legend and the Grass could be the new combo and just leave Fire/Steel so blah)

That could work, they just seem so like...leaves. :P

And Calder your paint image actually helps. xD Also I can see it being a steel backed donkey now that I think of it...

Actually as my friend pointed out, Shikamaru is one of the characters from Naruto and there's a youtube account under the same name that seems to be Naruto obsessed. Though doesn't disprove it but kind of makes it seem unprofessional. And it'd make more sense to place them in the pokedex order of grass, fire, water (not sure what they did previous generations). Either way, it's still a form of speculation and I can see the far right one being either an otter or a bi-pedal tiger.

Eos Aduro May 9th, 2010 8:23 PM

I just want to say that this alledged claim from the Corocoro member seems to be falsified information. His information has no background to prove it, its completely unprofessional, and I looked up his username on Youtube, and found an account boasting a large collection of naruto videos, with the name being naruto related. Why would a representative from a magazine thats interested in the Pokemon franchise be using Naruto as a cover name? Even if its an unrelated coincidence, its not a professional name. Just saying, I wouldnt get excited.

But his starter ideas arent completely out of this world, but I dont believe that gamefreak would make two fowl-based starters in a row of the same type, it seems like its too much of a copy. As well as that, the "tigers" tail seems far too flat, but that could be a trick of the silhouette, and donkey isnt impossible but the tail seems off.

(The friend I mentioned above. :P) Most likely but I want a bi-pedal Tiger so much now that I'm going to believe him. :P

Calder May 9th, 2010 8:29 PM

Just because his name is from Naruto doesn't mean it isnt true...

Shikamaru is an actual Japanese name being Deer Boy...

Could be his real name...or an alias so he doesn't get fired...

They also never have the sills in dex order...they also said they are changing alot in this gen so...yeah

He was sent by the company so it's unlikely he has any risk or being fired. And you're right it could be just a coincidence and such. It could be true and it could be false, it's easy to doubt things on the internet and hard to trust large claims like this. So you can't blaim him.

I didn't actually know about the dex order thing hence why I asked...but yeah I still believe, what he said can be completely verified in the coming days but either way his claims on what the starters could be are all very believable.

Also last month the leaks came out on the tenth so could that mean tomorrow's the day...!?

He, at the very least, gave us all something to think about. He brought up some theories I hadn't even considered.

Hopefully the new Pokemon will be revealed tomorrow, his post got me excited to see how accurate (or completely off) we've all been. :)

Exactly!! Just what I've been trying to say!! Also from the blown up pictures in this post you can clearly say that the thing on the left is wearing a scarf. Without any doubt. And if he hadn't posted I never would have realised it. :P

Swolligator May 9th, 2010 8:47 PM

Ive been thinking, the thing on the left, could it just be its two arms? I mean its left arm is kinda stretched back if you know what i mean.

edit: sorry i meant left.

I don't know I can definately see some sort of collar but it could be an arm depending on the camera angle. I'm still going to vote scarf though...

Edit: And based on the direction the feet are facing I think a scarf would make more sense.

Calder May 9th, 2010 8:55 PM

The thing on the right looks like it can be a mane or something xD prob going with Water starter...esp if its a swan with avian goggles...

Ok bed time...new school...first day...yeah

i too hope its a scarf but either way, it does look kinda ridiculous.

Waffle-San May 9th, 2010 9:02 PM

The more I look at the one on the right I'm having more and more trouble seeing it as a fire type. I mean the things look too rounded to be a main and it's limbs all scream water to me. But this is pokemon and they are only silhouettes so who knows. =/

Haha 5th Generation isn't really even upon us and we already have pokemon with scarfs and ponytails. :P Don't know what this says about the rest of the Generation V dex. but I have faith it'll all turn out. That and I don't mind the clothing as long as they don't go over the top...

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 9th, 2010 9:05 PM

People don't believe that guy who posted what the starters were just because you like the idea, he has no proof like Eos said... let's wait to see if he was telling the truth or just trolling with us... i will laugh if it was true as i don't believe it but i'll also laugh if he lied as so many of you do beleive him,lol, so either way i will be laughing when they come out.

i concur, the one on the right looks "water fat", like some sort of otter or beaver. In my opinion, none of them look that great just by their shillouttes. they look, a little childish to me.

While I definately want to believe him I am skeptical but his ideas are kind of cool and are worth speculating as Bamboo said earlier. He's probably trolling with us but none of his ideas are unrealistic so we might as well speculate a new outlook.

I'd say the same goes for others, not sure if they actually believe him but since we've all pretty much stated our (pre-guy) opinions about the starters so we might as well converse about all the possibilities in front of us.

all starters to me look childish with the exception of Hoenn as they look less childish, but chimchar to me isn't childish either.

All the limbs look flat and stream like to me too, as if they were meant for swimming. No claws as you would expect to see from a Tiger.

Maybe...but they're only the the first evolutions, I mean Turtwig is pretty cute and childish but it becomes pretty mean looking once it becomes Torterra...
