*this might seem a bit off topic, but it makes a point*

Up until a few months ago, I had a cat. She would always throw punches. In the form of sharp-clawed swipes, sure, but it still counts as a punch

My point? You do not need to be on 2 legs in order to throw a good punch. Plus, I want my perfect tiger Pokémon. Is that too much to ask? Raikou does not quite do ot for me

Basically put, as neat as a lot of the Pokémon images from the datamine are, until I see Sugimori art, I will not believe them to be real. And that's how all the datamine info should be seen as

This is a game series where we've had a fish evolve into an octopus.

Really, there's no reason not to believe these datamines, unless every single person who found the data are in on some kind of prank.

Why is it such an issue that Littens final evolution is bipedal? If it was quadrupedal it would just get called a dark Arcanine.

Whilst Litten3 is my least favourite of the Gen 7 Starters, it has a fun design and I plan to use one at some point in the post game. Incidentally I would rank the Fire Starters regardless of Litten3's typing:

1. Delphox
2. Blaziken
3. Litten3
4. Charizard
5. Emboar
6. Infernape
7. Typhlosion

Litten's expression reminds me of a heel wrestler. So we have a heel wrestler, a wrestling 'big guy' (Emboar) and a Lucha Libre wrestler (Hawlucha), hopefully we get a Face wrestler at some point which would be at a guess Fairy/Fighting.

Overall I am pleased with the starters final evolutions and this might be the first Generation since 3 where I plan to use all three starters at one point.

Agreed... thought the overdone "fighter" designs for the fire starters are most likely because of the Hero archetype... Fire is closely related to passion, strength and that fiery will.

Look at the abundance of Anime characters who are Fire based brawlers... here's some notable examples.

Tsuna sawada - Katekyo hitman reborn
Natsu Dragneel - Fairy Tail
Portagas D. Ace - One Piece
Rekka - Flame of Rekka

Isn't Machamp/Machoke the archetypal Face wrestler :D

Yes. :) But I think a Fairy/Fighting Wrestling Pokemon would emphasise the Face dynamic more.

I'd Like a Knight pokemon for Fairy/Fighting... rather than a wrestler, but that's just me :D

We got a Fire/Dark starter.

So... Thoughts?

He's as great as I expected him to be! I figured he'd be part dark type as GF knows better and he looks more evil like. I like the personality he has and the site bio. Definitely using him in my Moon team as he's one of my favorite starters.

CidHazard October 27th, 2016 6:40 AM

Here's footage of discus lariat (Which I think inspired the Darkness Lariat move) being performed.


Mawa October 27th, 2016 9:16 AM

Fire/Dark, not the first time we see this, but hey at least it's not Fire/Fight!! Glad to see a new typing for starters.

YellowTemperance October 27th, 2016 9:23 AM

He is everything I was hoping he'd be. My love of professional wrestling had been touched on with Pikachu Libre, but now it is fully realized. The fluff in his bio is also sweet, and really draws from his main inspiration, the anime masked wrestler Tiger Mask. Darkness Lariat reminds me so much of Mike Haggar and Zangief from Street Fighter, too. I love him so much! He's officially on my team going forward.

The Evil Mewtwo October 28th, 2016 12:44 AM

Incineroar looks better being in a trailer than the datamine video. He looks pretty cool now.

He became real at one point XD

It reminds me of Tiny from Crash Bandicoot!

I'm a fan of Litten but not a fan of Incineroar.

kingdenas October 28th, 2016 2:45 PM

Something I like about Incineroar is the way it moves in battle. I think the art of it looks worse than its in-game sprite. Even though I would love Litten to stay on all fours, I gotta say this guy grew on me (I'm still Team Popplio obviously).

Knyte October 28th, 2016 8:32 PM

Not a fan of wrestling, makes me a lesser fan of Incineroar's design but it still looks good. This is also the second time I really like all the Pokemon starters. Still going for Decidueye.
He's decided he's too cool for you!

Degurchaff October 29th, 2016 2:11 PM

What i think about Incineroar

Xerecies October 29th, 2016 3:35 PM

Not too fond of it myself, prefer Decidueye's design and even his typing over Litten's final evolution (Incineroar).
