Kanto Starters!
 
http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

Well this sounds interesting, it appears that the book released on 10th September will include passwords to use on the Global link's Dream world, which will give us
Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle, but they all have new abilities. Makes a change from Torrent/Blaze/Overgrow

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 13th, 2010 10:09 AM

hmm, I wonder what they will be...Water absorb for squirtle, Flash fire for Charmander, and I'm not so sure what Bulbasaur will get...

Kirbychu August 13th, 2010 10:10 AM

Thank god, I'm sick of the common starter abilities.

These are only dream world though :), I like all abilities except for Slow start and Slacking's SA...

Perriechu August 13th, 2010 10:25 AM

I Think these abilities :
Bulbasaur : Chlorophyll/Leaf Guard
Charmander : Flash Fire/Intimidate possibly Flame Body
Squirlte : Hydration/Water Absorb/Water veil

Amore August 13th, 2010 10:26 AM

I like Glaceon with Ice Body and Vaporeon with Hydration...I can see the latter bringing about more Rain Dance into OU competitive battling, to help Vaporeon wall even more effectively

littledoug1 August 13th, 2010 10:33 AM

I sure hope they give bulbasaur a better ability because overgrow doesnt help it much in competetive battling

I swear if this is a Japan only event for Kanto starters we had better get the others.

Would be nice :D

Timbjerr August 13th, 2010 12:19 PM

I like Overgrowth for in-game purposes, especially for a pokemon with as high a Sp.Atk as Venusaur. You think it's almost dead, but Giga Drain will restore like half of it's health. XD

I'm guessing Chlorophyll for the Bulbasaur family, Flash Fire for the Charmander family, and Swift Swim for the Squirtle family. :P

MegaKuriboh August 13th, 2010 2:22 PM

I am soooooo catching Charmander i just hope they are good abilities and not Intimidate

King Gumball August 13th, 2010 3:34 PM

Yay I can get Bubasaur! And with a new ability too. I can't wait to see what the abilities are. Hope they are new ones.

Eternal Nightmare August 13th, 2010 3:51 PM

I'm fairly interested in what these abiilities will be and does this expand on to other region starters.

Maybe something old, which is more than likely true, or a newer ability to be introduced, which I'm hoping for. This is so exciting.

I'd like those abilities, actually :D.

Logiedan August 13th, 2010 4:33 PM

This will bring huge change in competitive play for people who will use those Pokémon. It'll be quite nice if they changed it into new abilities. c:

Red1530 August 14th, 2010 6:18 AM

I like the idea of having the starter Pokémon have abilities besides the current ones.

Rengoku August 14th, 2010 7:04 AM

This is cool! I'll def sr for a neat charmander :D

Kevin August 14th, 2010 7:32 AM

Oh wow. B/W sure sounds interesting. Pokemon with different abilities? I want a Charmander with Flash Fire. xD

RyanGT August 14th, 2010 9:04 AM

I like this idea. I just hope this isn't a Japan only giveaway.

xPsychosocial August 14th, 2010 9:07 AM

Blastoise with Swift Swim seems like a good ability for have in my opinion. New abilities seem like a good idea, they could add a new edge to competitive battling if they are decent enough.

Pyromaniac45 August 14th, 2010 9:20 AM

If they do the Kanto starters, I wonder if there will be a way to obtain the other starters ingame, so they have new abilities.

I think this sounds awesome.
I hope they have a english event for this :)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 14th, 2010 11:19 AM

I hope they have the codes in the other dream world versions (non Japanese dream world) which I think they might have :)

kinu August 14th, 2010 11:19 AM

cool the dream world sounds realy cool to

Itstoppedatumbreon August 15th, 2010 8:36 AM

i probly wont use em....ever

PaxAmericana August 15th, 2010 10:59 AM

i love the idea of the kanto starters abilities being different than normal abilities they have

Bluemoon August 15th, 2010 12:54 PM

well i like theier old abilities cause when they are in the verge of fainting or when their hp is less than hlaf their attacks get more powerful!!

Me too, well these are special starters, we can still get normal starters from gen 4 :)

Xander Olivieri August 15th, 2010 1:00 PM

I'm hoping the special Dream World Abilities are permanent. I think its cool that they are special to the Dream World, but I'm hoping that permanent changes are made.

They will show up on your game cartridge.

Gulpin August 15th, 2010 2:02 PM

Well, I don't know if I'm excited or not. It all depends on their new abilities. I hope they are brand new abilities, not already existing abilities.

MistahDude August 15th, 2010 2:25 PM

Pokemon with only one ability will probably show up in the dream world like all of the starters might

I know this, I mean new permanent additions to stay there forever. Not Special one time things like the Special Pokemon they give out through Wifi, like Surfing Pikachu.

koji8123 May 7th, 2011 6:47 AM

looks like it's for Japan only. you need a code from one of their books.

Ho-Oh May 7th, 2011 7:48 AM

This is really dead and you didn't really need to post about it, since there's a high chance we'll probably get the starters C-Gear skin at some point in English, just maybe not for a while.

Either way, don't post in things that haven't had a post in over a month please. :3
