The Super Starter Pokémon Club!

Cosmotone8 · Jan 22, 2012

Hmm.... Gonna go with Charizard for this one. There are only two other fire-flying types (I think) Gives it some advantages but some weaknesses.

Personally I'd go with Empoleon! Water/Steel gives a lot to work with and gives it some good resistances and traits. Plus it's very unique! I don't think it's the most useful typing it could gain, but it sure is interesting!

Either Swampert or Empoleon, they get great typings.

Swampert's Ground-type makes it immune to Electrics while Empoleon gains lots of resistances with that Steel-type.

Speaking of Swampert, that Ground type also makes it not weak to anything, aside from Grass, where it's doubly weak. (4x hurts a lot!)

Hello Grass Knot, good bye Swampert ;) Tbh, I normally find it quite had to understand why Swampert is Ground type. Sure it lives in a swamp, but where does Ground type come into that? Surely that'd either give it Grass or Poison typing if anything? Then again, this picture sort of reaffirms it...

We'd end up with a messed up type triangle that way. :p

Then again, the Starter Triangle in Generation IV is pretty much effectively broken several times over, so...

Is it just me, or am I finding Swampert also cute? Even though this is the Starter Pokémon Club, I just can't resist it. XD

Squirrel · Jan 23, 2012

Now that you mention it, I agree with you! It has a cheeky smile too :D

So lovable! And that's something I thought I'd never say about Swampert! By the way, can I claim a Shinx called Sparky as my second partner? ^^

Please note that there are TWO other fire fighting starters besides Infernape. (Blaziken, Emboar). I dunno if I'd consider that unique or interesting. This also goes for anyone who said Emboar or Blaziken. Just saying.

qorkbro · Jan 23, 2012

ok I'll respond to 2
Which starter would I be?.....That's really tough like it makes I wanna be the guy easy....well I know I'd be a water type....Squirtle is just awesome because I could be with the Squirtle squad and wear awesome sungasses...but Totodile....I could get away with biting people....then there's Mudkip it's so cute! and it's friggin strong.....but wait Piplup is a penguin and I'm crazy about penguins...if i could I'd have a penguin butler....but wait Oshawatt is a hero in a cute body....I could become like some kind of hero and what not....it's so hard to choose!
Second which starter pokemon gains the most intresting typing from evolving...I'm actually gonna have to say Typholshion it's the only fire starter without a secondary type but in all honesty probably Swampert not only is it Ground and water like Wooper, Quagsire, Barbroach,Whiscash, and Gastrodon. It's really vunerable to only one type and that's grass Empoleon I like but it's suspectable to Ground,Elec,grass,and fighting but that's just me

Hmm... The typing by itself can be considered unique, and Blaziken had more of a case, but I think Infernape is when the typing really shines.

squirtle-squad · Jan 24, 2012

Name: squirtle-squad
Starter Pokémon: Squirtle (obviously) and Cyndaquil (again obviously) they're soooooo cute <3
Why would you like to join the club?: Because I am all about the games and TV show! In the games you come in to contact and grow to love them more than any other one of your PokeMon especially in Heartgold/Soulsilver where they can walk around with you and you can talk to them! Also in the TV show Ash always has all three starter PokeMon and Pikachu! It just wouldn't be PokeMon if he didn't!

Welcome to the club!

Now, I wonder about the current club topics...

New Topic!
Which starter Pokémon would you like to be?

I would love to be Treecko mostly.....climbing trees, acting all cool, and evolving into a pokemon who can partially fly.

Like the others mentioned, Swampert. Of course, grass is it's greatest weakness but...honestly, it can defeat them with Ice beam and Blizzard.

As for the first one.....not really. I don't think there would be as much trading anymore if that were to happen. If you want me to be honest on the other topic: I have no idea.

- Munchlax/Snorlax - 2
